I have no idea if he wants to be here or not.

Call it a hunch but I think at least one WNYer comes home this summer

Iaffalo, Wood, Kane. Someone.

It's a great way to sell tickets

- Hank Balling


Wood comes back in a Risto deal. Or maybe an Olofson deal?

Iaffalo comes back in a samson or jack deal.

Send something to the wild for the Foligno.

Sign the old Foligno for a year or 2.

And Bring me 1c bjustead

I could definitely see the Sabres offering Foligno the elder a multi-year deal

He'd give them at least as much as Staal did this year.

Nothing is gonna be good enough for Eichel, but can't just throw away deals because we think it's not enough.
- Buff36


Prediction for next year : We have roughly the same team, even Ullmark on a nice deal. UPL is brought up full-time and wins rookie of the year. Eichel 100 points, Reinhart 75 points on a team-friendly new deal. Risto leads the team in +/- (in a good way). Cozens and Dahlin turn into ELITE players right before our eyes. Mittelstadt 65 points. Tage 20 goals. Quinn 25 goals. Playoffs. Deep, deep run. You heard it here first.

Book it.

Which is exactly why the Sabres, I mean Terry the fan boy will do it. Terry remembers a Foligno. Which means we gotta sign a Foligno…. Which mean more years of awful hockey.

PHam is right when he says fans hated everything about the Sabres this year. If they're going to suck, at least fans can watch Cozens and Foligno fight people while Gus dive bombs the boards

If the off-season goes roughly as predicted, I really wonder how they sell tickets next season.

Here's how I think theyll try:

Local guys, kids, truculence, people who want to be here

12k fans per game

Space Invaders was a great game growing up. So was Galaga.

Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz would be a quality starting point.

12K fans? Are they a playoff team?

That's the only way I could possibly see 12K or even close to it.

The arena will be a ghost town.

If they assemble the brawling bad news bears then they'll get a fair amount of fans

They wouldn't be on the level of a Byfield, Zegras or Rossi would they?
