Depends on what happens with ROR and Okposo. If they go on IR it'd be retroactive to their injury dates, so only have to miss 1 day. If both don't play Nylander, Grant, Fasching could all stay up. If they both play, most likely only Grant would stay up. This is per https://t.co/jY0YLl5NDc

What a kick to the face that would be.
Okposo and ROR not able to play in the first week.

On IR it would only have to be 1 game since they got hurt in the offseason. ROR is closer than Okposo from what I heard, but both could play

So is your face...

Yeah I'll be THAT GUY...

I just loved all the moaning earlier today. I said a few days ago no need to worry until 5pm tomorrow.

He is signed (to a good deal for both sides) and Lindholm and Trouba are not.

It's a rough estimate but we should have around $2M in cap space, depending if Guhle, Fasching and Nylander make the roster or not. It could go up to around 3 depending on how the final roster shakes out.

That's a steal.

OK maybe not a steal, but a fair contract for both sides. Solid work.

- CaptainRivet



I agree its fair. It carries some risk but its not crippling and theres a chance it looks like a steal by year 3.

All things considered Timmy's had a solid off season.

I'd expect Lindholm to be done soon. Trouba is a bit different.

Moving Moulson would be the bees knees...I am still hoping for a decent season and Vegas takes him in the expansion draft.

Ennis would be nice if he plays well so we can get something of value for him.

I'm not expecting that now. Moulson I'm not expecting we can move ever, Ennis I wouldn't expect until at least the deadline. I'd assume this is our team for now. Let's make the best of it

And so it begins:

Meh. Offensive guy who can chip in points on the special teams (about 50% of points at 5v4). VERY mediocre in his own zone and doesn't really help get the puck out despite being a decent skater. I'd say he tops out as being a 3/4D though will get 1PP time.

Let's put this another way - Jake Gardiner >>> Ristoleinen in his own zone.

Sabres will have 4.55 mil in cap space with 21 man roster. If you add one of Fasching or Nylander it will be 3.6 mil to start season. I don't see them keeping 14 forwards.
