Talking 5v5, of course. Olofsson was all PP for his first 2 months.

Didn't like Kane with Eichel at all.

I tend to agree with you on most posts, including this one.

It’s up to Botts to get him to sign the cheapest contract possible.

I thought u sat in the 100s??
- jdfitz77


I have a pair in the 100's as well.

I am exactly what Kim and terry are looking for.
Sucker

100's went up a $1 each

I've said it before, being a season ticket holder is a business. Having 8 great seats together is $ for the big games. Az in a Tuesday in January- good family games

Definitely

I like the kreider contract as well as pageau.
Kreider should be comparable.

I'm with you on Sam. Have my concerns about this core, for sure. I think they need at least 1 major move.

Krieder averages 45-50 points

Sam the last couple years is at 50, 65, and already at 50 in 63 games.

He’s getting more than krieder. Without a doubt

Sam will take whatever Botts deems him worthy of, and not a penny more.

I can list some positives and negatives from last night.

Biggest takeaway is that we lost a game we needed to get to OT. Desperately. We aren't even a good enough team to force OT and get loser points.

Hutton played great but when do our goalies steal a game? All we hear about is how we run into a hot goalie or some crap but our goalies are never "hot".

Done with the excuses. I can't be sitting here in damn near March saying "Well, I liked their game" because it's too late.

The Simmonds trade piqued my curiosity enough to watch last night. I'm already off the bandwagon again.

Something something next year.

You realize that Sam does have to accept the contract too. Botts can’t just give him 6.5 and say “krieder signed for this. Here you go”

That's where Im at too, given that his actually salary will drop soon as well.

You'd have to convince him to waive the NTC

- Michael Ghofrani

This might sound silly, but I’m only trying to offload him if 28/22 both stay.

The Sabres finally have a 3rd line that drives play.
I’m not trying to gut the only middle/bottom 6 guys that are good

It's another year of embarrassment everyone should be fired all the coaches and botts can go Back to Pittsburgh...

Everyone could see the writing on the wall of no playoffs but Yet he kept players that are going to walk in free agency for free

Nice

I understand the thinking, but those kinds of players for the bottom 6 are not hard to find. Larsson I'd keep, but Girgensons and Okposo go as far as Larsson takes them.

At some point, paying that much for a bottom 6 line will hurt you.

Girgensons offensive impacts are gross, he’s having a great year but I don’t think it’s sustainable as others have pointed out.

Larsson should be resigned forsure, if he leaves that will be a tough one for us to replace.

Mark Pysyk has 4 goals in his last 4 periods against the Leafs.

Oloffson was hot from the last few games last year and it continued instantly this season.
Kane played well with eichel. A 18/19 year old eichel

Okposo, sheary, vesey, erod and moulson are frindge nhl players.

Sam does play well with eichel and I agree, it's hard to know how others would, but olloffson is averaging more points per game than sam? Right?

Not liking Combine in Prime Time. Missed most of my favorite day. QBs, Wr’s and TE’s. Hearing Justin Jefferson absolutely crushed it. World is now seeing what 3ER’s been seeing for months.

Love hearing Mickey D’s answer during media session when asked if perceived need for a WR is their biggest need. Said need to protect your QB is equally important. Perfect answer for 3ER’s dream scenario of getting Wirfs and JJ. After combine nobody gonna be projecting JJ being a day 2 selection anymore though. Bills would have to trade back into 1st round. If you target Green Bay’s pick, Bills would need to give up 2nd, 3rd, 4th and Cleveland’s 5th based on Our Lads (many variations, just what I chose to use) equivalent pick value. Not likely Green Bay does that. Bills would need to include next year’s 2nd at a minimum, which rule of thumb for present value is to add a round to whatever round future draft pick is in. I’ll settle for JJ in draft and Conklin in free agency. Would be an A+ off season.
