Personally I'd do it, Chayka's a numbers guy though. Don't think he'd see beyond Ristos corsi. Oliver is a good player but probably a tad overhyped.

Interesting. I proposed this deal to Tanner and he hated it. I think it's roughly fair

It's drew Stafford not marleau. There is a huge list of players just as productive as Moulson
- Mentalorgasm5

That would come here
And sign cheap
And for only 1 year?

You're great at not answering questions
Again...
this last happened when exactly?


Also...
it only makes sense if they'd be MORE productive than Moulson

A lot of ppl on here want Vanek
(Not me though)

Any idea if we reached out?

I like goals. We didn't have enough goals last year. I like skilled players in my top six. We only have 1 right now on the left side. 2.5-3 mill AVG for 2 years sounds pretty good to me.

You're still all Jerks




Kinda miss this place

6th in the league in 5-on-5 points per 60, 48 points in 68 games. 2nd line LW? Tell me where to sign

- jcragcrumple

I kinda like Tanner, pretty sure he's a big leafs honk so anything Sabres is gonna suck to him

Everyone claims Shattenkirk is using the Sabres to drive up his price, what if Botterill is actually using Shattenkirk to make sure teams in our conference overpay?

New Jersey is closer to NYC then Buffalo but if he just cares about being in New York state area and we offer the same money or very similar to NJ he'd be stupid to sign in that wasteland known as New Jersey.
- bluengold12

That Jersey team was better than us last year & just added the #1 pick
And Buffalo is a lot more "Ohio" than it is NYC bud
Jersey is literally a suburb of NYC
And there are some very nice parts
(I used to live in NYC)

If he signs with us,
it's not bc we are in the same state as NYC

Signing bonuses change how much is due in a buyout. Go buy out O'Reilly, he still counts for 6.7 million against the cap (i believe) during the length of his contract, and then cost pennies when his contract was set to expire. Heavy signing bonus contracts are sort of buyout proof.
- Mentalorgasm5

Right, the per year bonus. I was just confused by the wording in your first post. My bad.

Ha, you get used to it. Let's cut to the brass tax, how do my yotes pull Samson outta there?

He shares a name with an orphan.

He's got a sense of humor about his clickbait-iness. He's a provocateur

The Sabres doing something smart?? Nah. Now if he signs in New York for a cap hit less than $5 million we will never hear the end of it

TRADE:
To #Flames:
Eddie Lack (50% retained)
Ryan Murphy
2019 7th round pick

To #Canes
Keegan Kanzig
2019 6th round pick


Um... What the hell are the Canes thinking?! That's a terrible trade for them.

The Devils have one of the worst "cores" in hockey so I don't get your point..
- bluengold12

And the arena is in one of the worst places too. Just ask the Islanders about arena location and how important it is.

Shattenkirk hearing to rangers.

After the Smith extension I would be surprised by this. I would guess the Devils are the front-runners followed by either Toronto or us.

First of all Buffalo 78 points. New Jersey 70. So that ends the they were the better team argument.

Second of all "bud" I lived in NYC too. For a long time actually. Most New Yorkers or hate New Jersey. Obviously being close to the city would be a draw but for Shattenkirk if he can't play for his favorite team growing up you think if given the choice he'd go play for one of their most hated rivals. Second of all name a good center on New Jersey? Please do. I'll wait...
They have a bunch of talented wingers a few medium good defenders and an above average goalie to go with that number 1 pick who isn't as good as Eichel. They're not at the level of promise we are right now so I can't even fathom where you'd get that idea.

You know you still get around pretty good for an old goat

i dont see how its dumb. until they establish some sort of contending core its likely that we'll get passed over a lot in FA. mind you i dont believe thats what's happening with shattenkirk but as a general statement it makes sense
