So William Karlsson takes 1 year/$5.25M


This makes zero sense can someone explain to me what he's thinking

Betting on himself that he has another big season
Then he can command a HUGE deal next year

Vegas was smart not to pay him
Little chance he can repeat that shooting%

Really not sure if the Sabres are a playoff team right now. I will say this. It is time for Jack Eichel to step up and prove that he is worth 10 million a year. No excuses Jack. Great players find ways of helping their team win. period.

But he had a career year if anything he should have banked on this year

It just seems kind of weird to me

Maybe, but worst case is a 5.25m QO next year. If they couldn't agree on a long term deal, it's his next best option.

- Michael Pachla


It's sort of a rough stretch to start the year.

Golden Knights twice in the first 6 games, plus Boston. Couple weak teams sprinkled in there too, though. As long as they aren't 1-4-1 to start, they should hover around 9-10th. Maybe a late push or an unexpected year from a player can push them to 7th or 8th.

I am so (frank)ing excited for this team though. It's going to be really fun to watch

My fish died last night

My friend took it on a slip and slide and that was that

But he's probably in a greater place and I wish him nothing but the best

Back to you Michael

This team is going to be fun as hell to watch going to be like the Oilers when they first got Connor McDavid

Is it crazy to think that we might trade for another winger ?

I want Kessel. Do a 4 for 1 and clear out the rest of the crap on the roster.

- jcragcrumple

don't know

heard they were willing to part with a LD, a first rd pick, not ours, and a few scrubs to thin the roster


and nylander, bailey have been thrown out in discussion as well



from what I gather, they like reinhart

time the kid puts the big boy pants on, he is old enough to be more mature

plus by him posting this, he could probably spend some time in the clink if PETA got a hold of this information

Seems like a no brainer to me. Not sure how RNH would fit on this team though.

The hot dog man would be sweet.

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Sheary-Mitts-Kessel

Holy hell. That's a playoff team.

The salary probably wouldn't work though unless a 3rd team got involved and took Moulson and a small piece (cough cough Melnyk) for a pick
