then move the pod racer

play lockport larry, wilson and gus every night


need to remove contracts right now

I’d move 3/4. Have a rotation of Malone, Porter, O’Regan, Leier, Elie, play 4th line minutes the rest of the way. Call Nylander, Olofsson, Smith back up to get them some games. That 4th line won’t be the reason we either make a push for the playoffs or fall to a top 10 pick. Having that cap space for next year and beyond helps us.

I love when people use this passive aggressive logic. Hockey trades like this at the deadline are unicorns. Very unlikely we see one made by anyone tomorrow. If JB can't do it (for fair value), then he's trash.

Accept that the type of trade you're looking for is an off-season deal.

I can't wait for the "Botts sucks" and the "he should have FORCED team A to make a trade!" posts at 4pm tomorrow.

I love when people give our GM a pass because they think hockey trades are unicorns.

The level of low expectations brainwashed into fans because the sabres are losers is real.

I can’t wait till ROR’s production falls off a cliff and people still have to defend on how we “lost the trade” 2 years from now. That’s much more of a slow play in relation to 4 P.M tomorrow though haha.

I like Wennberg for value. He doesn't fit in CBus because of Torts.

The value of buy low for a potential 60 point center is worth the risk. He will come reasonably cheap.

overpriced version of gus


I want impact player not bottom 6 guys making 4.5 per

They are saying make trades by the trade deadline. Most of the teams trading players are pending UFA’s. Very seldom do teams trade players on long term deals during in season trade deadlines. Usually that happens in the summer. That’s all I’m saying.

10goals & 50assists?
Maybe if he plays with Skinner...
which he won’t

I’d only be interested if we were buying very low, and we didn’t have any better options available

We’d all agree to move Sobatka (i think?)
Girgs/Larsson over these other guys u mention don’t really save us much on the Cap

Sorry but they are not even close to being the same player.

Wennberg has the potential to be a very good 60 point third line center.

Even if that happens...
and it’s a big “if”
We still got a crappy return in that deal

- jdfitz77


To qualify both Girgs and Larsson next year would cost almost $4M in cap space. I’d rather see guys like Smith, Malone, Leier, O’Regan, Asplund battle it out for spots with Okposo on the 4th line. Erod would be a 3rd line winger or C as well.
