I think we see more of the same, probably depends on the finish to the season?

I could see the Sabres finishing fairly strong and feeling content to roll it back again .

Very difficult finish to this season. Agree with you that how they finish matters.

If development is a factor now, that doesn't bode well for their record. Also might make some guys expendable at the TDL.

I'm thinking 3/8.25 for Girgensons. Hbu

🦬✍🏼🦁

Clearly, just give Girgensons what he asks for.
Why even negotiate?

I'm excited to see him get an extended look next to Dahlin with Samuelsson out of the lineup. Could drive up the price tho

Can't wait to hear Kevyn's full blown injury analysis and excuse at the end of the season.

When Girgensons goes into the Sabres hall of fame, there’s gonna be an asterisk next to *Sabres forward

The sad fact is that Adams must be secretly cheering every injury. It will make his post-season presser much easier.

Third most difficult remaining strength of schedule left.

As to some players being expendable, are you really expecting much movement?

Adams has shown little ability to sell at the deadline, or leading up to it.

They really don't have anything worth a good god damn except Mittelstadt, and selling him at the TDL would be an admission that they're still nowhere near contending, so that's out the window.

Maybe EJ Manuel for a 6th and call it a day

I think they could give away someone and play Rousek, Kulich and/or Rosen. Future consideration type moves.

Wouldn't be a shock if EJ, Girgs, or Okposo wanted a playoff opportunity and someone was interested, with 50% retained.

Wouldn't a big step be admitting the veteran leadership they have claimed to mean so much, actually doesn't, and moving both of them by the trade deadline?

Wouldn't cost them anything really. TDL is late and their replacements would be cheaper.

I agree with this, can’t imagine the return being anything significant.

Ej back to Colorado
Okposo to the isles
Girgensons to Vancouver

Due to travel related complications,
@AmerksHockey
forwards Isak Rosen and Jiri Kulich will be unavailable for tonight’s AHL All-Star Skills Competition at Tech CU Arena in San Jose. They are, however, expected to participate in Monday’s All-Star Challenge event.

I take this as sign that they are giving up on the season. Guess there's no back to backs this month, so they can just ride UPL in to the ground. If you plan to use Comrie, you aren't trying.

Granato said Luukkonen has established himself as the No. 1 guy, so he'll play as many games as he can. Granato said that means today, Levi is in Rochester. He said changing circumstances could change that. I take all this as Levi will stay in Rochester for now.

so.....

the season is over
