this wrecked looked 20 times worse then when dale was killed at daytona


literally perhaps the worst wreck at a finish line I have ever seen

- homiedclown


Problem with dale was two fold.
1- the immediate stop. No time for the energy to dissipate. 180+ to zero, that transition is what killed him.

2- less safety equipment, no head and neck restraints, the cars were solid but vastly different from the car of tomorrow and subsequent versions.

Glad Ryan is ok and hopefully he makes a quick recovery.

Ror = 10 goals
Girgs = 10 goals

Looks like he found some value there 🤔

Yea let's trade johansson and his reasonable contract, who is historically a 45-50pt player for a couple of picks

Or maybe we should stop having tank mentality and work on getting a real NHL center in here to play with skinner and allow johansson to play wing

Hypothetically could the Sabres trade Johansson to Boston or Washington and eat 1/2 the salary for both years?

Give a team 2 playoff runs for
Appox.
400,000 this year?
2.25 next?

Lunaion , can we eat 50% for 2 years?

- Boss34


Not only can they, it's the only option. When you retain, it's for the remainder of the contract.

IMO, he's a bit expensive for a 3RW. They can live with it through next season, but if they can get a solid return I'd move him...prefer not to retain though.
- IonSabres


21 goal 3rw making 1.5 million next year and 300,000 this year. 2 playoff runs

We have a 21 goal 1rw that people want to pay 7 plus a year

Trading the guy with 7 goals , who plays 1pp time with eichel and dahlin is gonna set this franchise back decades

Hes had spot duties on the top PP and some time while olofsson was out nice try

Dale wasn't wearing a HANS. That's what killed him.

Pulled up their cap friendly. First time I've seen a team with a bonus cushion penalty. Fun to see. They are a cap train wreck.

As long as he belongs in the lineup, there isn't much to discuss. No one likes his contract, but burying him serves no purpose. Scott Wilson isn't an upgrade.
- Lunaion


Asplund is.

I watched Johansson wiff on a half dozen jack eichel passes in 1 game on the pp.

Build around a 7 goal scorer, that's the ticket.

We have had a terrible year, like no other year in Sabres history, and you dont understand why people want change? That's on you.

Build around Johansson 😀

I don’t think Hans was a thing until after dale. Hell, I don’t even think he was wearing a full face helmet. He was the text book definition of old school racer...
