You think every player is a bad fit
- SABRES 89


Well a lot are bad fits bc of their age or contract
Idk how anyone can deny that?

It’s not just about getting good players,
it’s about getting the RIGHT ones

I don’t think I’m off base saying that

I can care less about that crap, if it even happened. Hoffman is a good player, we need a 2nd line center............ period. Hoffman and Stone are not that, love to have either player but................. Botterill could send a shock wave through if he parts with 2 of the 3 1st round picks we have. Then you could see a Stone, Duchene or.........

Hoffman is on a good contract but is more of a short term solution.

getting better players than we have, makes no sense...
- gordong

There comes a time when you have to stop saying "this guy doesn't fit" or " it's the wrong time" or " to much money". When is it enough and we start grabbing a player or 2 like this .

He's a good player that can help for the next 3-4 years.

Better chance atHoffman then Huberdeau IMO, but I like both.

Exactly, you have to take a chance and you also have to take what is available.

People think UFAs are just waiting to come here.

9m is not much when the cap goes up every year.

Okposo and Pommers makes more. I will take Duchene over Okposo and Pommers and play a rookie on the 4th line.

Some people just dont get it

I heard Botterill has interest in Kalrsson but that is an off season conversation. Highly doubt you see Karlsson in the Blue and Gold.

No chance Karlsson comes here and if he does you will have to pay a premium to get him.

I would think Huberdeau and Skinner might be a fine match, too.

Heck, let's get them both.

- Powerslave


My dream LOL:

- Sign Skinner
- Trade a 1st+ for Jonathan Huberdeau from the Panthers ($5.9M for the next 4 years and he turns 26 in June)
- Trade a 1st+ for Toffoli and Kempe from the Kings (Toffoli will need to be extended as he has one year left on his deal at $4.6M and Kempe is an RFA C. Toffoli will be 27 in April and Kempe will be 23 in September)

I heard he will consider moving 1 or 2 of the 1st round picks we have for the right deal, now he's keeping under his hat so to speak.

Some like name calling and then an empty threat. I would MUCH rather entertain that if you would like?
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Still not interested in sharing the 9m dollar players? I see. Enjoy your day

Why trade for those guys when u can go after them as UFAs?

No reason to give up assets if we don’t hve to

Huberdeau would be a giant, massive upgrade to Erod or Sheary in our top 6.

How is that not a fit?
