I think any rumor with St. Louis is laughable. I'd rather keep Sam bit dont see any way. He's at peak value. It would need to be a good player to go with the 10th pick - which I would use on a goalie.

Most of us would love to simply keep Sam. Don't know if it's an option. If it's not, Ottawa has some nice pieces. Brannstrom is a very good player.

Yes, it is too early to judge what motives are with the Sabers protection scheme. There may be many trades waiting for after the Ex-draft. Let's see what shakes out in the next few days, eh!

Just too good not to share...😅😅😅

So Seattle overplayed their hand by asking for too much in side deals, took 12 defensemen, and their forward depth is gross? https://t.co/1BAkRTGKxf

Don’t worry, in just 14 short months, they’ll be able to cook up a three-way trade for a bottom six forward.

If you can't get a top 5 pick for Eichel, you hang onto him. Enough said.

Will be exciting if even 1/8 of the discussed roster moves are made.

Is Adams the guy? My gut says GMKA chokes the Sabres finish 32
first NHL history to do so.


Terry then gives Adams an extension.

During hockey season I will for sure, how can you pass up such an incompetent management team’s offseason at such a critical time in an organization? This is the time of year the Sabres really shine, very excited to be here.

What is with your fixation on Kim Pegula? Is it just a hatred for all women in any position of authority, or just her?
- RichardRoma



I think partially it's her positioning herself at the helm, or at least branding herself that way, with no experience making hockey decisions that have resulted in a decade of futility.

I'm ambivalent on this front and think she gets too much flack, but I can understand some frustration.

Really what got her was the statement, "We know more than the fans" when defending their decision to retain GMJB only to flip flop six weeks (or so) later and then gut the scouting dept as well.

Rightly, you're going to catch some flack for that.

A top five pick, a prospect, NHL player at least.

Yes, I'm over valuing him, I get that.

But he's under contract, yes he's pissed, try winning for a change.

And if you want out, no problem, but we need you to perform to a level that other teams value you and your contribution to an NHL club to the level we do and give us that.

Please help us honor your wishes.

Nah. Here's why.

Go find another 24 year old elite center up for grabs with 5 years left on his contract.

How is that over valuing Eichel?

If anything, Eichel is underrated.
