Don’t have to look far to see why this organization is still in shambles.

Can’t draft worth a poop

Ok so qualify him and trade him

It’s not hard

They gambled that he wouldn’t find much on the open market and they’d be in a better spot to negotiate for well below what he’d get in arbitration

They lost because they’re lost

I can't answer why this was not done. Maybe somebody heard an answer from his interviews as to why this avenue wasn't discussed.

There's an actual possibility that he was going straight to arb and earning 3.5+ and that would screw with the Sabres' plans to add a more effective winger.
- TheSabresTaco


Ok.. We'll see if they add a more "effective" winger at a more reasonable cost(the cost can be more, but it needs to be justified by the player being better than Kahun).. I will be happy and eat crow if they do. I just seems strange to qualify Montour and try to play him at wing again for more than that 3.5 because we have a billion D then just pay Kahun to do that exact thing.

Teams don't want arbitration uncertainty. But not qualifying him and then giving lion eater his money is beyond stupid

As far as I know you aren’t PR for the Sabres so I wasn’t in need of an explanation

This team routinely does things that are hard to explain

If Gus plays 80 games a year for the next 3 years, he'll be 7th all time in games played for the Sabres

How'd that work out for the ROR trade?
It's been said that Eichel really doesn't want to be with us.

Point is, his case was EXACTLY why they created RFA's.. so that a club has a little more control outside the ELC. But we didn't use that because we think Montour can be a really great winger.

It was hard because he could have chosen arbitration for a good amount for only 1 year and all the geniuses here think teams have no problem doing that.
