That's allowed if talking about a non-Sabre.

If it's a Sabre, you need DNA or video evidence.

Yakupov will get another shot if he doesn't bolt to Russia
- sbroads24

To be fair...
I guess we all make a lot of assumptions on here

I'm assuming Yakupov would produce in our top6 like he did in Edmonton
That could very well be untrue

I'm sure he'll get another shot as well,
but like U say often...
he's gotta be used right

My (maybe realistic?) forward lineup would look something like this

Neal(for a 2nd) - Eichel - Yakupov(2yrs, 2mil per)
Ennis - O'Reilly - Okposo
Kane - Reinhart - Foligno/Girgensons
Moulson - Larsson - Girgs/Foligno

Keep the kids in Rochester
Nylander, Bailey, Baptiste, Fasching, Rodrigues

If Ennis &/or Yakupov fail...
call up one of the kids & give than a shot

Andreychuk makes HOF!

Nice! About time
Mogilny should be in there too though

I don't see Yak making more than 800k/yr. No one in their right mind is giving that guy 2/yr. 1st line! Bold, man.

Neal for a 2nd!?

My only question is, does it stand up to Sundowner's?
- TheSabresTaco

never been to sundowner's, it's nothing super impressive but id say its the best of the bunch that are downtown.

Do yourself the favor.

Thanks man. I'll put your suggestions on the list.

Low cost, high upside..

So you're looking for hidden gems here.

But, Michael Grabner, PA Parentaeu, Vanek, Pirri, Weal, Gagner could all provide some high quality middle 6 scoring.
- TheSabresTaco

Grabner is still under contract for cheap with NyR,
So if doubt they move him

Vanek is too slow, don't we wanna get faster?

I'd guess Parenteau & Gagner have better options than us,
they both had decent seasons

I like the Weal idea though
He fits into exactly what I'm talking about
But we've gotta give him a shot with Jack if we wanna see him potentially score. That's not gonna happen if he's playing with Larsson & Girgs

Very low cost, but has the skill to make it a good reward
I thought he was RFA though? Did Philly not qualify him?

- TheSabresTaco

What do u think it would cost to get Neal?
I doubt anyone would offer a 1st

Two 2nds?


And if we aren't gonna play Yak with Eichel,
then I absolutely would not bring him in
Whether it's for 2mil or 1mil or whatever...
he's proven he can't produce in the bottom 6
So we either gotta play him with Jack, or not bother

I'd take Vanek back, he has natural scoring ability. The Sabres need everything. Speed, Skating, Scoring, defense, no stone should be left unturned.

Andreychuk makes HOF!

And they came to their senses and left Osgood out. I couldn't believe he was even nominated

I don't think Neal is moved.

He put out a statement saying he is excited about s fresh start in Vegas.

If they planned on moving him I bet they would have told him like they told other guys

- sbroads24

I didn't hear about that
Seems odd though, unless they think they can extend him?
Or maybe they think they can get more for him at the deadline?

He will make the next one

Where in the lineup would u play him?
And as far as scoring goals...
he wouldn't be on our PP1
And the last 3 years he's scored exactly 12g even strength each year

Slow, doesn't play physical... idk
I just don't see how he helps all that much
I'd rather play Bailey or Baptiste at this point

Wouldn't that qualify him for about 3rd best on this team last year?

Dude put your dog back up, you don't get to change it because you're sick of it. 6 months.

- jcragcrumple

Idk, maybe?

My point is that he has no upside

Why not play a young guy like Bailey or Baptiste who might be able to provide 10+ goals, but can also skate well & forcheck?
Vanek wouldn't be part of our future,
So I guess I'd rather let guys who could be get the icetime


I'd take back Pominville though...
if Minny wants out of his contract & that gets us a deal on one of their efensemen, either Brodin or Dumba
Idk if I'd do it for Scandella

anyone hear us being linked to anyone (talking)..other than Shattenkirk by Dreger?

I play for keeps.
- BeadyEyedDouche

How bout you do us all a favor and you keep to yourself?

I haven't heard much of anything, though I know in the past Vanek has said he wouldn't mind coming back to Buffalo.

Will do and no problem enjoy
