Yeah but there shouldn't be any hold up for Mittelstadt. It should be a pretty cut and dried deal. Two way, $950/100. Either he doesn't want to be here or the Sabres don't want him. That's how I see it anyway. #hegone

23 RFAs still unsigned. Several of them on teams with plenty of cap space to fit their respective new contracts.

I want to give him another year, see how/if his reset takes hold

@BuffaloVogl

The Sabres' “third line” is where Ralph Krueger routinely lost faith. What if Sam Reinhart was on it? Would there be enough minutes to make it work?

I dont see a future for him here. Sabres will have Eichel and cozens down the middle and probably Skinner and hopefully Hall long term on the left. That leaves him as a checking line center or winger. I dont see it

According to Forbes in 2020..... the Sabres lost 10.9 million dollar.

So somewhere people thought the pegulas lost like 60 mill a year or 45 mill. They were wrong

- Sabretooth9


Whoa, who said $45 - $60m.
I read they lost up to $30m once over the past 4 or 5...never heard those numbers.

The $45 - $60m I have seen / heard was in reference to the losses for the upcoming season without fans for an unnamed team.

Singletary isn’t great. He’s not good enough to be a lead back.

Moss is fine for his role.


And I agree the o line isn’t great. But singletary is definitely not good enough

- Sabretooth9

if running an upbeat hurry up spread offense, he is fine


if running a traditional offense he is so so

Maybe. Might be an off season thing. Id hate for the Bills to have to spend another pick on a RB though.

Marlon Mack or Jamaal Williams would work

He's a good player with plenty of skill. I still believe he's at least a top-nine scoring forward. And God knows they can use secondary scoring.

Maybe ARZ is holding out for a better offer?
Maybe they don’t get one?

Wishful thinking on my part i suppose

Dude, even Boss got that it was a joke.

Go take your meds, smoke a popper.

Redownload Grindr and make a new account on there too since I’m sure your others have been banned. You’re so worried about my gf and keep going on about my hog and come on here and troll Fitz like a 1 A.M with a weird obsession with him too.

This somehow implies , I'm behind the curve?

Am I known for "missing jokes" around here 🤔

Tough draw:

Bruins
Sabres
Canes
Devils
Islanders
Rangers
Flyers
Caps

Why would the NHL not have the Flyers and Penguins together? Those games were always fun. Same no Sid versus Ovi

Florida & Tampa move to the Western Conference as well

It’s gonna be a weird season

I’d much rather swap places with Pit & be in the easier division for sure

All the metrics say he's god awful defensively. If he's not in the top 6 I dont see how he helps.

I understand he's young and can improve defensively but he is nowhere near that now. Maybe they'll be patient and see where this goes. I think he may be on the way out

I'm not sure if zack moss has had a "fair look"

He's a beast. Toe injury, fumble, throwing offense

When games matter and playoff teams insert average QBs, run the ball 60 times a game and play great defense, we'll get a good look at Moss

No not necessarily. But we’ve gone back and forth on here before and that could have been an opportunity to start some shenanigans and you went along with it.

No harm no foul

Moss is fine. I dont like the combination of him and Singletary. There's no sizzle there

No harm no foul on your end :

I'm gonna dig out some of my "truly tasteless jokes" books from the 80's .

And don't you have enough shenanigans going on around here? 😉

You know - the whole running the football in 2020 wins games over elite qb play.
That's gotta take up some serious time, dancing around the truth.

If theyre going with this bullpoop "division" thing with no interleague play, they better expand the playoffs. The west is a goddamn joke
