11 mill for the 4th, what a complete joke this management team is.

Are you blaming Adams for the Okposo contract? Get over it, he was signed 3 GM's ago. Mistake, but, most of us liked the signing when it happened

People don't want Kahun but are thrilled we re signed Girgensons, you can't make this crap up.
- SABRES 89


I don't know anyone who is thrilled the Sabres re-signed Girgensons but you are writing that there are. You can't make this stuff up. Actually reading this whole message board, I'm not sure you can make this up.

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.
- GilPerreault11


Define a good amount.. I'm curious. There's no way he's gettin 4M+. Sorry, we don't have the depth everyone is claiming we do.. He would have been our 4th highest point getting forward last year.. but yeah, let's let him go for nothing, no biggie. It's not even that they brought Girgs back for me, he serves a role. But how do you justify not bringing back, even if you have to slightly overpay for a one year deal in your scenario.

no, i'm blaming this inept management team for bringing back yet another scrub in Girgensons that should have been gone 2 years ago.

I've seen this.. If it's that easy, just get rid of the RFA thing all together. If clubs aren't going to use it (I know, it's just us) seems like a waste. Kahun was under Buf control. It wasn't a calculated risk, it was just dumb.
- SDSabre

don't underestimate kahun's agent...i'm sure he had a firm grip on what's going on in the nhl and, specifically, in buffalo...

he thinks kahun will get x dollars from arbitration, which will be much more than adams would/could be willing to accept...

straight up, i'm not thrilled with the situation, however give them some credit

I think there's one guy and his name is Boss. He likes the fact that Girgensons has 2 career NHL fights in 8 years which makes him tough

For me, it's not that Girgs "took his money". It's that we still have Montour, who Krugs doesn't like/doesn't fit how we run our system but kept. It really is the sunk cost fallacy at work. We paid a first for him, therefore beat the square peg into a round hole. But we paid nothing for Kahun, so it's fine if he walks. Even though he's clearly the better asset that will undoubtedly cost less or close to Montour. Unless Kahun get's 4.5 or something crazy, seems shortsighted at best, bad at worst.

I’ll help Montour pack his bags.
