nice, wonder what hes doing these days.
- hubie

He was coaching the Beauts before they went under. Fun fact I was not aware of til just now is that he is married to Wilf Paiement's daughter.

He is helping though. The Sabres PK on the year is just over 75% (not sure what it was exactly before he got here) and is just under 85% since he's been here. In contrast Calgary went from 83% to 74% without him. I know it's a small sample size, but his PK ability was one of the factors that brought him here I would think.
I doubt that there is any plan to resign him as he will be turning 32 in a couple weeks and doesn't necessarily fit in our timeline, but if he can fill one of the roles we were lacking than I don't see it as a bad move.
Only the tankers would be upset about a minor move like this. Scandella nor a 4th round pick were going to be the missing piece in getting a 2C.

+1 the team is better with him.
like you said Scandella was not getting us some useful long term assest

If (When) the Sabres are in sell mode, the move has got to be that the Sabres retain salary on Bogo. There's no reason not too do that to increase his value.

Then again...they didn't pay the ROR bonus....

You can retain the cap hit and not retain actual salary.

Now play him with Eichel already

Just relooked it up. It was changed then.

It was written something to the affect of you can retain cap hit, salary, and/or bonus.

Townsend is writing about Josh Anderson and thinking that Columbus might be willing to move him. If true, hope Botts is on the phone

He probably needs shoulder surgery at some point. Apparently he injured it in the playoffs last year and it's been lingering ever since. He missed preseason games and a stretch in October before going on IR in December with a 4-6 week timeframe.
I thought it was only a Buffalo thing though to try to rehab an injury instead of opting for surgery right away. At least that was the claims here after Sobotka and Tage's injuries.
If we traded for him and he immediately went on IR to finally get the surgery he's needed for almost a year I could see many here lose their marbles.
Good player though and definitely fills a need at RW. Hopefully he gets healthy and returns to being an impactful player.

back in the day it was a loop hole for teams like the wings, rangers and flyers to spend extra money and get around the cap

pretty sure it went away during the last contract

Which means they won't

Ok boomer

- Stripes77

I understand wanting to see Skinner score more, but I don't know if putting him on the top line is going to result in more wins. We need more secondary scoring. If adding Frolik to the second line has the same impact Sobotka did, then we are better off than having just one scoring line.

With no Olofsson though you almost have to play Skinner with Jack though

Sabres’ practice:

Girgensons-Eichel-Reinhart
Skinner-Johansson-Frolik
Vesey-Lazar-Okposo
Sheary-Larsson-Rodrigues

Pilut-Ristolainen
Dahlin-Montour
Miller-Jokiharju
McCabe-Bogosian
