Only UFAs we should bring back are Nelson & Wilson
Maybe Josefson as the extra forward?

Wilson is a RFA

I’m not goin* to lie,
I moved to Florida last April, 1st on Ocean side near Deerfield Beach just north of Ft. Lauderdale. Was just me for 4 months while my wife and son stayed back to settle everything. Really enjoyed it there, but it wasn’t what I was looking for.
So I did my thing, moved over to Gulf Coast near Tampa...jus5 South in Bradenton.
It is home for sure. My wife and I do enjoy it here...just feels right.

I do love watching a good display of Florida’s Lightning Storms....quite the display. And they only get better through the summer. They are facinating to watch.

Oh well, done babbling going on there, lol.

there's a legit chance girgs and larsson will be back next year because they carry virtually no value.

That's frightening

We seem to have a better GM that seems to be able to evaluate talent and drive . I will give him until turkey day to judge him.

Always a chance of dealing for someone else's reclamation project. I'd throw Beaulieu in there too.

I used to like Larsson. He just hasn't been the same since his injury.

The way you treat the players on the team ,Not one player would ever want to come here. even if drafted they would pull a Jagr card

not really. Seems the players feel like "let's just get it over with"

They have nothing to skate their ass off for . Both teams . and it looks like it . Slowest game all season.

almost looks like an all star game .
Minus talent.

i dont doubt his ability to evaluate larsson and girgensons uselessness. I doubt his ability to sucker someone into taking what is essentially dead weight

Right but reclamation guys always have some sort of upside. these are both zero upside players in todays nhl.


Beaulieu scored an okay amount of points and could skate, he only cost a third. I wouldn't give up a 7th for 22/28

Look at it this way .. How many teams even trade a star player. If they do it's for a line full of players . We have a few lines we can give up. Minus the Jack Sam Ror Middlestat nylander E-rod.

THats a top six. unless we can get a better player to replace one .

Adding some NHL players with them will get 1 player. But still have holes to fill. Even if they were occupied by 5th lines .

Yep.. We will lose 4 players for 1 . Hoping its a better replacement then they were . Then still have to fill the other spots.

Tough job. Not just for the Sabres . Every GM goes through it . Every season.

Good luck buddy

JBotts is a deliberate son of a gun anyway...said he wanted a year and he damn well did that.
I’m now expecting a fair amount of roster turnover, as I’m sure most on here do too. He was know as the Penguins Cap-ologist...sure I would think he wants to find ways to restructure the roster salary structure by getting rid of a couple-three costly and relatively ineffective contracts.

Will be fun to watch what happens with
- Moulson, Pominville, Bogo, Blow-U, Lehner contracts
- tadeability of Girgs, Larssons, and a couple more
- new contract for Sam
-strategic direction with ROR and Okposo
In addition to the Draft and FA
