If they bring back all 4 of Vesey, Larsson, Girgensons, and Simmonds, the collective yawn from the Sabres fan base will be massive, as will the total lack of interest overall in the team.

I think botts and ralph like simmonds and it sounds as if they like vesey if they're offering a 3 yr deal...am of the opinion Larry's gone so that leaves Gus. Imo, it'd be crazy for him to turn down a 2 yr deal.

So are we talking probably 3 of 4?...which constitutes a top nine, bottom six and a reserve up front?

Everyone has there opinions, 2 players different positions. Like I said before they could also think more highly of Bryson.

SSSS says the Sabres are telling him he’s top 4 next year.

Sounds about right with their eye for forward talent.

Who's the reserve? Simmonds? He's going to be ok being a 13th forward?

Botterill has always liked Vesey, which is another confirmation he doesn't know what a talented forward looks like.

“GREAT” return... right (almost) EVERYONE ?!

Pointing out how Cuomo has been given a pass, while Trump-haters pile on Trump's every comment.
There was more outrage when the MSM took Trumps commentsout of context with the bleach remarks than there has been with Adolf Cuomo's Death Sentence of 5,800 people who were depending on him.
He made a mistake? And that's the end? lol.
#SickPeopleLive'sDon'tMatter.
Murdered 5,800 people, no accountability.

Cuomo was following Trump's CDC guidance. Check out this Times Union article :

https://www.timesunion.co...as-long-term-15284326.php

Cuomo said the policy was based on guidance at the time from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Anyone who wants to ask 'why did the state do that with COVID patients in nursing homes?' It’s because the state followed President Trump’s CDC guidance. So they should ask President Trump," he said.

As usual, still Trump's fault.

There's no way they go into the season with that line-up. Botterill is toast if he doesn't haven them in the playoffs. The above team will be fighting it out with the Wings and Sens for 6, 7 and 8th again in their division.

I know 8 people that went out and bought a gun in the last month, first time gun owners. 3 of them I had to show how to load and clean them. All I said to them is I’m glad they finally got why we stand up for the second amendment. In my opinion we are going to see much worse than these riots from now until the election. The Democrats would rather burn this country to the ground than give him a second term.

-Larsson & Girgs... ❤️❤️❤️

-Vesey... meh. Don’t hate him, but i also don’t see where he fits in... unless he’d take 2mil or less to play a defensive role with Larsson & Girgs

***anyone hear anything about a potential CBO??

-Simmonds... 🤮🤮🤮 If we can CBO Okposo & he’ll sign cheap to play on line4, fine. He doesn’t belong in the top9 anymore though.


Also...
Kim should be tight with $$$ right now,
EVERY owner should
With all the lost revenue this year,
and next season having all kinds of questions...
it would be financially irresponsible to not be tight with $$$

Depends, if they plan on playing the same way next year, you're better off keeping.

They shouldn't be, considering their best players all fit a more up tempo style, but if they do McCabe fits that style well.

Cool story. What else are we going to talk about with this team and organization. They are pathetic, soft and have no concept of winning. We have a president who talks of streamlining operations and moving towards a lean budget, oh really, how many businesses and organizations have you done that for previously? Why would you publicly state that? Of course that needs to be the mentality but how will you attract GM talent, coaching talent, players when you are now known as a team that needs to pinch pennies. Happy now?

Interesting on Vesey. What did he do to merit a 3 year deal? I didn't see it. A 1 maybe 2 at a favorable price, sure. But 3?

I am not even sure Casey is ready for the NHL let alone Cozens.

Maybe I'm just being gun shy right now.

Edit: Fitz, I promise despite using "gun" it's a hockey post.

Should be Larson OR Girgs. Not both.

Vesey, depending on the cost, I don’t mind on the 3rd line...

Simmonds, I actually like, but you can’t have Simmonds and Okoposo.... and you can’t have simmonds on the 3rd line.

Your bottom 6 is the ...
Vesey. Cozens. Simmonds.

Girgs. Larry. Okoposo. - the total cost of this line will be interesting....

I refuse to believe you this time. It's just such a horrible rumor, that I believe you're making this up. It just couldn't possibly be true.

Those deals better be 2 year 1.2 mil for G&L
3 year 2.2 mil for feces and 1 year 800k for old man.

If training camp starts with that he better be fired that day

- Lunaion

I probably undervalued Simmonds while looking at him as a reserve player instead of a 4th-line guy
