Who said he was afraid ? and he's not all over the place. Reinhart and Dahlin along with Montour will cost. It's called prioritizing.
- SABRES 89

Yeah but the last 2 years ..... he could’ve added a 2C. Then unloaded salaries to fit Sam montour and dahlin

for the record

dahlin has done nothing to earn a huge payday yet

3 year bridge at 5 per would be very generous by the sabres at this point

He has or had a 2nd line center in Mitts, that was his plan, it blew up in his face.

Dahlin will just wait until after next season. No reason for him to want to sign now anyways

- homiedclown

Why would he sign that?

He can just play next year out and go from there. If he puts up 70 points, then they'll have to pay him.

I get it but I’d love for us to have a value contract for a superstar. Look at Colorado and betting in Mackinnon. Look like geniuses

- SABRES 89

Correct, my hope is that he has learned from his mistakes unlike Murray

Like you have said he has a plan at least. Hopefully it's the correct one

They need to find a stop gap 2C until Cozens/Mitts is ready for it

Taylor was told to make sure Mitts plays, so whats' that say. I'm still not sold on him being 2nd line center.

Ah forgot about McDonagh

But still that's a tough spot they are in

10 million in cap space to sign 6-7 players and two of them are Cirelli and Sergachev
- Stripes77

They’ll move 2 contracts and figure it out.

I agree with this ...... it makes sense for both sides.

His stats aren’t elite yet. To give him that 10 to 11 mill payday.

- SABRES 89

Yeah, then you make adjustments .... mitts to roch is fine. Then get his temporary replacement. Johansson at 2C is an embarrassment.

I’d look at the Hedman ext post ELC.

yup
bridge him so you keep him another 11 years instead of 8 years

Mitts was in Buffalo to start the year

It didn't work out

Where was he going to find a 2C in November?

Walmart was out so he went to Save A Lot.

Why would he sign that?

70 pts! No way he puts up that many points with this current roster. i agree with Homie, he absolutely has offensive upside, but defensively meh......

- SABRES 89

So our GM wants our former #8 overall pick playing more than a bunch of career AHLers and that is taken as negative ?

I can see him getting 60 points.

Did I say negative, no I didn't.

Poll time.


What's the most likely outcome of the TDL for the Sabres?

1.) Sell 1-2 UFAs for futures
2.) Sell 3+ UFAs for futures
3.) Swap of a defenseman for a forward
4.) Trading futures and/or prospects for a player
5.) No movement

I can see him getting 60 points.
- Pegullaville

Not with this roster. no freaking way. 50 pts tops

He’s on pace for a tad over 51 presently.

Had he not been injured his season pace would’ve put him at 58-59.

Just a thought.

- hehateme

35 points in 49 games works out to 58 points over an 82 game season. That’s in addition to the fact that he was a train wreck before his concussion.
