That's the problem, they can't seem to do it continuously.

I would literally laugh if the rangers signed hall. Such a Ranger like move

Right, I’m saying other guys can’t retroactively go o (frank), Buf might go after me, I didn’t think so, I need to add them to my list. Once it’s submitted, it’s submitted

i like what gmka said on the instigators about his initial call to staal...having been in the league and having been traded, adams refrained from hockey talk and focused on staal and his family...this apparently went over well as the first thing on a player like staal's mind, especially when he thought he was stayng put, is what about my family, my plans?...

they apparently talked a lot of hockey the next day

Debate was unwatchable. Loudmouth talking over the former VP every time he tried to talk. It was classless, rude, and embarrassing so I shut it off after 10 minutes as it was extremely annoying. The moderator tried in vain to shut him up constantly. Was that his strategy ? He can't debate intelligently on facts, so he just talks over everybody ? Sad thing is that I KNEW it'd be like that, yet I still tuned in. Shame on me for trying.

Interesting ....... that’s apart of the hockey world with a veteran hockey player. Schools and school district. If he has any kids. Buffalo is great for them to play travel hockey here.

Gotta imagine clarence was mentioned a few times.

Junior sabres too

Buffalo always had the family aspect locked down

i think it went a long way in helping staal get his head around a situation where he was obviously caught off guard

Could you give me a % on any sort of eichel trade.

2020/ 2021 season ?
2021 /2022 season ?

If there are no fans in NY for the nhl hockey season next year, might that cushion the fan revolt at the ticket office if they were to trade eichel. Gotta think the gate draw is part of eichels allure originally.

McDavid would have been a jackpot for the pagelus

Yeah the nhl picked his team we all saw it ..

But w/e I'm happy with jack

On the surface, sure having 4 RhD's sound great.

However, peel back the layers for the Sabres and one easily sees that they currently have 4 of 2nd/3rd Pairing tweeners on the right side presently costing $13.5m and in a year IF nothing is done will likely be $15m. That IS a problem. The caveat is that Miller played the best as Dahlin's partner.

Now, Adams said they redid the Evaluations of the Draft Prospects with Analytics integrated into their rankings. The same is required for the Pro-player side, which I have to assume they did so in preparing for the upcoming Trade and FA season. Assuming that is true; it should also be obvious that Risto should be traded and 1 of Miller or Montour. Given Miller's ability to play with Dahlin, albeit small sample size, I'd vote to keep him and let Risto and Montour go to regain much needed Futures and Forwards.

For the upcoming season, there is a negative 100% chance Eichel gets traded. It's total nonsense.

This says it all to me, if a player has a contract (Eichel) that has 6 yrs left he has 10M reasons to honor it. He can ask out but the Sabres have no reason to honor that request or he can run to Europe to play and guess what when he wants to come back after a year guess who still own his rights. Lets face it the answer to all this BS is for Kim to let Adams go out and get the players he needs to vastly improve this team. It's really that simple.

There are so many teams in cap jail that there are deals that can be made. Adams started off by by getting Staal, hopefully he doesn't bring back any of the UFA's and the lesser RFA's. These are things Botts never did. This team needs a transfusion of talent and new faces outside the core. If it takes losing a player like Reinhart plus to bring in a talent like Laine so be it. It's time for a change and there should be around 10 new players on this team next year.
