We just sucked there was no tank

They would have made jack stay out for the rest of the year
- gerbe75pts

I'm sure the union, Jack's agent and Jack's bonus beg to differ.

Who was gonna disrupt the lockerroom by avoiding crying ryan II

am still stickin' with a 3yr./$11-12M deal
- Michael Pachla

I think it’s gonna be a 1 or 2 year deal for Sam
Around 4mil

Pouliot was paid $60,526 per point.

Rick Nash was paid $229,412 per point.

Just gonna lob that one in there.
- TheSabresTaco

Lob that at homie, he wanted rick nash.

So by not paying pouliot as much as nash proves we were trying to win?

You are really stretching this

Also : beaulieu had 1 goal in 59 games

Pretty much any other player in the nhl would "undoubtedly " score more goals

The great benoit pouliot had 13 goals
- Boss34

Pouliot was ok. Housley hated him. If ZG or Larsson scored 13 goals i would be elated

Definitely made the sabres easy to play against.

So did letting go of:

Delo
Carrier
Kane

Soft spineless team , = easy to beat

Go ahead and find the badass on Pittsburgh's 2016 cup team. I'll wait.

And. AND. Getting rid of Dlo? Jesus, really? Zach Redmond helped this org infinitely more than (frank)ing DLo, and he barely played here. Carrier? An easy price to hang onto our goalie of the future. Yeah.

And Kane? Getting assets for a guy who's not going to re-sign here? Getting rid of a guy who didn't fit the new culture movement? Getting rid of a me first guy? Getting rid of a future 8x7 contract? Does this not make sense?

Pouliot was here for depth. NHL. Depth. You can't possibly be serious here. If not Pouliot, tell me exactly who you were signing or bringing up instead. To not only try to win, but to not create some 8 year albatross on the cap.

But you said we’re tanking when they kept all the rookies up and jack

When last place was not clinched

Interesting that C.J. Smith got the most money of the non-reinhart category of RFAs. That would seemingly make him a front-runner for an NHL LW position, if you believe in a correlation between pay and skill. NHL mock roster 84. Yes, Erod is not an ideal 1LW candidate

Sheary-Mitts-Reinhart
Smith-Berglund-Thompson
Bailey-Sobotka-Pommer
Baptiste
Girgs

McCabe


Larsson and Beaulieu exposed to waivers. And nothing of value was lost

I get what you’re saying here,
but the dollar amounts are so close that i don’t think u can draw that conclusion

I think it’ll just come down to how they all play

You forgot Wilson
Unless Girgs & Larsson (or 2 others) are traded...
I think Smith definitely starts in the ahl
And most likely Thompson as well

he made those moves as the general manager of the sabres
- Michael Pachla

It's like your speaking Swahili to him.

He can't be that dense.

Ah, yep. knew i forgot someone

I doubt Thompson starts in the AHL from the way both he and Botterill talked.

This doesn't address my initial question. This isn't 1998. You don't need heavies to win.

I like this.

But a scout should know how valuable a pick is yet he just tossed it away

He had a wet dream and (frank)ed it up with his drafting

- TheSabresTaco

To replace pouliot:

We would have had to find a player who really doesn't seam to give a poop if he wins or loses. Someone who doesn't use his size or strength. Perfect fit.

He just proved with Edmonton that he was not a good hockey player and would be better to pay him, not to be part of the team


You must hate jbotts for the Sabres finishing in 30th by 5 points. If he was trying to win, he should be fired

Listen, this is going anywhere.

I respectfully disagree. If it bothers you, skip my tank postings.

Let's do everyone a favor and stop

We tanking this year though

Correct me if I am wrong but since Glotov signed an AHL contract he would have to pass thru waivers if we wanted to bring him up to Buffalo at all this year correct?

Ya'll are COMPLETELY sleeping on Olofsson and Pu right now. Even Nylander too.I'd bet a nut that at least 2 of the 3 of them start the season in Buffalo.
