Pretty big red flag, imo.

$ are tight, just don't see what makes him worth it.

Plays a different game than any other D-man we have. True leader. Real top 4 RD. Only 2 years left on the contract.

If Tage signed his deal after last season, when he had 47 goals and 47 assists, what AAV do you think he was getting?

How far north of $7M would it have been?

- kingcong39


North Star North and beyond.

If I recall, you asked when he earned that contract...my point is he did last season (by far) and he isn't this year.

I don't know if that's it or a lack of motivation because they see guys like Girgs, Okposo and others returning.

I'd worry a lot more about putting together a good roster than bringing in "leaders". As an example, Eric Johnson is one of the worst FA signings we've made since Leino. He was supposed to be a great veteran leader...how's that turning out?

I'd rather we sign guys who play well, I could give two poops if they're silent otherwise.

- QuinnFan

Well,
It isn't one or the other though...great leaders who can actually play...having both attributes.
Just like being tough to play against and a tough hard-nosed player is not the same as a knuckle dragger.

It’s hard to find these guys .

Maybe Brady tkachuk gets sick of Ottawa?

Power and Quinn for Brady tkachuk


Brady most likely wouldn’t want to come to Buffalo though , just like other good hard nosed players

Steve Irwin and JFK Jr are going to try King Charles for war crimes at the Hague. Also the Sabres still suck

Gotta find them, plain and simple. W/o one, going nowhere. It is the team's single biggest need.

I agree with what you’re saying, maybe we don’t have the talent available to trade for a suitable captain?

Everyone seams pretty overpaid at the moment other then peterka

2 more wins a month and no one mentions leadership.

Not going to be a big overhaul of the players, so find a better coach for this group.

Still interested in Joshua at 3 years and $3M per?

Move Greenway and bring Joshua in?

Is there room for both?

Perhaps a 4th line of Joshua, Greenway, and Bjugstad would be a vastly improved difference maker?

Can they even afford an $8M 4th line?

>>> @MyTahltan24 @MaxTermPod @CapFriendly We do have Joshua, who was left out of the original thread in error. His deal will impact decision making, as another strong bottom six forward. Ian Cole does not have a projection yet but will be part of our update this Thursday, 2/8.

They really need to find the 2 year @ 825k version that Vancouver signed. 4 LW isn't where they can afford to spend money anymore.

A coaching change is probably the next step

I agree with uncle ion though , it’s hard to win without a top captain type guy.
