The new LOG line takes on those difficult defensive zone faceoffs

Hopefully Lazar can play close to what Larsson did

It might not be a strong defensive team but I'll take that over last year and with more goals and improved goaltending that is a playoff team IMO
- Stripes77

I am not attempting to rain on the parade, but advanced stats have the team now estimated at 85 points for next year.

That is with no change in the goaltending or defense.

Trade Risto, Montour and Miller (-$13m)....go get Dahlin's partner...Pietrangelo (+8.5)

Dahlin - Pietrangelo
McCabe - Joker
Pilut - Borgen
- IonSabres

It certainly looks like Pietrangelo is signing with Vegas, but that doesn't stop the Sabres from finding another impactful defenseman like Weegar from the Panthers, for example.

We got...Taylor Hall? I still am in shock.

The way I see it is ..... the sabres have 7 top 6 forwards.

Eichel
Staal
Hall
Skinner
Olofsson
Reinhart
Cozens -> I expect with his skills and speed to be on the wing.

Anyways .... odd man out plays on the 3rd line.

Mitts - Eakins - odd man out of the top 6.
- Sabretooth9

I think, with his strong offseason, Tage makes that push for 3rd line

Curious who people like from the list below, assuming Pietrangelo is signing with Vegas today.

Does AZ have a steady-Eddy 1st pair RhD? Beside Hammer?

Edit: if not, who else besides Weegar?

Slater koekkoek.

But our use of analytics is questionable at best

maybe hall signed here after watching ROR and Bogo leave to immediately win the cup.. 2 weeks for the TDL he will request a trade

Hall-Eichel-Cozens
Skinner-Staal-Thompson
Olofsson-Eakin-Reinhart
Girgensons-Lazar-Okposo

Hall - Eichel - Girgs

You all know this is going to happen so just accept it and move on.

Can't wait for the Seattle expansion draft. New name for Kyle Okposo :

Kyle Exposo

James Mirtle
@mirtle
Taylor Hall's $8 million contract will actually pay him only $6.4 million due to escrow. And a further $640,000 of salary will be referred to a later year.

As such he'll receive the lowest salary he's had since his entry level contract ended in 2012-13.

He bought himself a first class suite on the Pegula yacht.

The bolded confuses me

Funny how many butt hurt people on other sites are ripping this apart. If the Sabres can find consistency with how they have started the last 2 seasons and not fall apart. Which I think having Staal, Eakins, and Hall's leadership in the locker room will help immensely. Could be a interesting year.

I am curious if they make a few moves to shake up the D and goalie situation


seems the right 2 moves puts us in the conversation for the 2021 post season

esp. if 2 or 3 of the kids pan out up front

Upping the D and Goalie certainly seem possible!!

As far as the kids, who would have thought that we're starting to run out of room for them.

Takes the immense pressure off them and should help in their development!

Here's 4 names to keep an eye on the Sabres acquiring:

Jordan eberle
Ryan Nugent Hopkins
Justin Schulz

* Devan dubnyk
This is the most probable in my opinion

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut... hahaha jk nice work, I certainly didn't think it was possible.

My take on Hall is he signed with buffalo to up his value in a flat cap year. Unfortunately playing with eichel will get him a max deal. I highly doubt they pay him max to stay. Either way its great to have him and possibly end the drought.
