I would say it's a bit too late to not "die on the Johansson hill".

Last night your point was a specific player - Johansson

Its ieetbred-Johansson mountain range as far as I'm concerned.


Forever 😀

Yea because last night it was johansson being dealt for futures

And there's no way he's getting into the top 3.

He just doesn't have the ammo, nor the ammo to GET the ammo, unless we're trading Rhino to a team in the top 10, and I doubt he even gets you that return, imo.

I agree with you. But in this years draft class There aren’t that many “nhl ready” players.

and then we can see what would have happened if GMTM had the next pick in the draft as well.

Well than we could have soft Sam the skunk and sandpaper Sam. Or as the Garth headline would read. “Sampaper added, botts scuffs the surface of the roster”

Yeah but the last 2 years ..... he could’ve added a 2C. Then unloaded salaries to fit Sam montour and dahlin
- Sabretooth9


I missed it - who did he whiff on? Would love that 2C but I had not heard that he swing and missed.

buffalo is going to have some pretty sizable bonus Payouts to watch out for.

Dahlin alone i think is 2Mil+

- ImThatGuy


Dahlin has 2.85. We don't know what they are or how likely he is to hit them.

Unless we move out more salary, we're going to have an overage penalty next year. It's almost inevitable at this point.

And okoposo

And olo

And Samson, unless it’s for Domi and you simultaneously pull the trigger on a #1 Rw with a surplus d man...

And Borgen, maybe

Of course Jack

120... aggressive but he’s no Ryan Reeves, 80 has to be reserved for face punchers.

Sabres have won 20 of their last 27 home games against the Leafs

Let their fans come down & pay to see their team get punked by us

I think it’s great!

And Eichel telling the Leafs fans to stay seated...
Amazing

He's got 850k of bonuses, that you'd have to assume he's not hitting. Instead of his 925k NHL salary, he's making 70k. That's gotta sting.

So we’re gonna not re-sign Larsson & Girgs,
even though they’ve been playing quite well,
Bc the previous GM(tm) signed Okposo to that dumb contract??

Insert Asplund & Lazar i assume would be you choice to replace them...
3 things though
-injuries are gonna happen, who we bringing up to fill an important defensive role?
-how do we even know that Lazar & Asplund can perform well with that heavy defensive responsibility?
That’s not something u wanna mess with unless you’re sure imo
-and how much does that even save? 2mil tops?
Big whoop
Lots of $$$ coming off the books,
and there’s plenty of room to bring back 2 players who have played well in an important role
