Aren't we all for still being fans of this franchise?

Washed is firing at 40% fan, despite growing up near a 7/11 in north buffalo.

How does being effectively close to the cap, and likely their budget, not prohibit anything?

They weren't in position to deal futures for Petry today, and that's just today.

- Lunaion


They could have fit Petry in at his $2.34M salary with Montreal retaining 50% of his salary.

Now whether or not they chose not to, or Petry wouldn’t waive to come here, is another question entirely

If you need retention, it just makes it clear that there are limits on what they can do right now.

Realistically, if you want to add a D, you have to move one out....because of the moves they've made this summer.

Gonna be a long several months until the trade deadline then I guess for many of you.

Would I have liked more activity this offseason ? Absolutely.

Just because it hasn’t yet, doesn’t mean they don’t have the means to do so.

Perhaps we are sitting here months from now happy we didn’t splurge assets because somebody becomes available that isn’t available today ?

- Swedish_Jesus



They have the means, and the opportunity, however, crucially, they're lacking motive.

Why wouldn't he want to come here? I've been told how awesome this team is, how great the GM is. Why wouldn't a guy late in his career want to come here?

Those contracts signed last year aren’t a problem, they only have one year left.

Can we have this said an extra 74 times a day? I don’t think you and 36 say it enough each day.

Thanks.

we are talking about the sabres down the road, right

or are you changing the question on the fly?

good teams don't want to add a blah contract in olofsson, they want to get a little cap relief and move an experienced player for either picks, prospects, or young players on entry level contracts


we had the cap space to offer any of those for a few roster upgrades (a goalie, a decent top 4 RD, a middle 6 guy)


we get erik johnson and the burning question on twitter is if he can get 20 points this season

Time to get bold once again! Could Erik Johnson reach 20 points this season? #Sabres


and could possibly move bloom for nothing if stillman goes on waivers

- homiedclown



That being blamed on the editor as well?

The Swedish Hockey League (officially SHL; Swedish: Svenska Hockeyligan) is a professional ice hockey league, and the highest division in the Swedish ice hockey system. The league currently consists of 14 teams. The league was founded in 1975, and while Swedish ice hockey champions have been crowned through various formats since 1922, the title and the Le Mat Trophy have been awarded to the winner of the SHL playoffs since the league's inaugural 1975–76 season.

In the 2010–11 season, the SHL was the world's most evenly matched professional ice hockey league.[1] During the 2011–12 season, the SHL was the most well attended ice hockey league in Europe, averaging 6,385 spectators per game,[2] however in 2013–14, the SHL was third best in Europe, with an attendance average of 5,978.[3] The SHL was the second most popular sports team league within Sweden, after the football league Allsvenskan, which in the 2013 season had an average attendance of 7,627.[4]

The league was founded in 1975 as the Elitserien (in English the Swedish Elite League or SEL),[5] and initially featured 10 teams, though this was expanded to 12 for the 1987–88 season. The league was renamed the SHL in 2013,[6] and in 2014, a number of format changes were announced, including an expansion to 14 teams to be finalized prior to the 2015–16 season, and a new format for promotion from and relegation to HockeyAllsvenskan, the second tier league.[7]

Teams from the SHL participate in the IIHF's annual Champions Hockey League (CHL), competing for the European Trophy. Participation is based on the strength of the various leagues in Europe (excluding the European/Asian Kontinental Hockey League). Going into the 2022–23 CHL season, the SHL was ranked the No. 1 league in Europe, allowing them to send their top five teams to compete in the CHL.

How does this league compare to the KHL?

It's up there, if he's not in Rochester it's a really good league to develop in.
