Montreal paid a little over 10 mil for Josh Anderson and Tyler Toffoli

17 goals between them so far

Taylor Hall, Cody Eakin, Eric Staal cost close to 14 mil

4 goals

Solid post.
Like others have said, Sabres guns will get up at some point (we hope, lol.)

And some were thinking that going after Josh Anderson was dumb because he had 1 goal in 25 games due to a bad shoulder...same guys who couldn't wait go get rid of Foligno when he couldn't hit nor play physical during a season when it was know he had a bad shoulder and would require surgery.

Montreal friggin stole him at $5.5m per.

Is this elite or nah?

- Wetbandit1


1 great season doesn’t make u an “elite” QB
Just look at Lamar Jackson last year when he won the MVP,
vs this year where they ranked him 14th

I think Allen will be really good again next year,
but there’s plenty of examples of QBs taking a step back
We’ll just have to wait & see how it goes

Guess Laaksonen and Samuelsson had decent games, Samuelsson brought the nastiness that the Sabres sorely miss.

I wonder if he’ll ever be a good enough skater to be a decent NHL player though?

Wonder if DJ Fluker could be a cheaper option for the Bill's at G then Feliciano, and he can play RT.

Still have Cody Ford to slot in somewhere too

With time, skating is relatively easy to improve, so I would think he can become a decent 3rd pairing guy...which is perfect.

- homiedclown


He should never see an NHL game with us,
unless it’s specifically to come up & “punch faces”

Could be, think if the cap number ends up at between 180 or 185mill Morse might not get released, especially if 185m is the number, Buffalo won't be over the cap then and with Brown, Addison, Jefferson, Smith, Butler probably getting released they could probably bring back both Feliciano and Williams and still have a little money to play with.

I’m assuming we wanna bring back Hyde too

That's actually something that was pointed out, his skating was much more fluid, and made a few nice exit passes.

This again?
We don’t know if we could’ve gotten Toffoli
And we didn’t have a “Domi” to trade for Anderson

And there's no way any of those players keep their respective paces up.

Montreal guys are hot and Sabres players are not. That will change.

That’s good news,
but we’ll have to see if he can keep progressing
Not everyone can

Used to love their food trucks when they were basically the only game in town, but then La Divina opened up and that was it for Lloyds. I like Lloyds, but La Divina is better. La Divina has the MOST meat in their taco's in the area, and they're cheap. I haven't been to the original on Delaware Ave in Kenmore in over a year (pandemic), nor have I been to their second location on Transit (in front of the old Toys R Us) since Covid either (is that one even still open ?), but they're both awesome. Best Mexican taco's in town and VERY authentic too (the one on Delaware got busted by immigration a while back, but they've since rebounded - and everything there is still awesome and authentic).

Thanks guys, we'll worth the drive over, The Taco's were really tasty, and the Tricked Out Nachos were good.
