Who cares for Borgen. Your complaining about a nobody. If he has a career good for him. He want making any sort of change here.

Go pluck a 6 foot 3 out of FA he'll do just as fine.

And cost about $3.5 million

Sounds like Lemieux might be on his 4th or 5th team. Was a bad pick by the sabres.

That whole second round stunk.... Woulda rather not picked a Richard head though

The rumor is the Rangers would send Strome and the 15th overall to the Senators for the Senators 10th overall.

Would you rather have the 10th overall or Strome and the 15th overall?

- kingcong39

15th isn't much more than 10th

I take Strome and 15th.

The Sabres are going to have a busy day. They're trying to fill holes (like the goalie market, is Korpisalo a prime target?), while also navigating trade markets on Eichel, Reinhart, Ristolainen & Miller. (1/2)

Talks on Reinhart & Ristolainen picked up last week, we'll see if teams step up today. Seems like the Sabres want a first-round pick as part of a package for Reinhart. And of course there's Eichel Watch 2021. Wouldn't be shocked is LA circles back (won't move Byfield).

- Stripes77


There should be no untouchables in an Eichel trade. Anyone that thinks otherwise is foolish. He’s the best player in the deal 99.9% of the time.

Can you please answer the question I asked? Who...do you want....the starting goalie....to be on opening night?
- RichardRoma


Give Ulmark a 4 year 20mil deal. Why do we care if we overpay a mil a year. The goalie that went to Detroit. One of the 3 goalies that was taken in expansion.

Im not a GM full time. FA goalie. No goalies on trade market? Why is it always impossible for the sabres to trade for a player? I year this every year.

Eichel is on the trade market but there is not decent goalie on the market. Please.

Is that sufficient?

Could have taken Barbeshyov I remember a lot of sabres fans wanting him.

Its who I wanted but isn't as good as projected.

He'd of been a decent pick. Might have been able to get going on a Eichs wing (if he ever plays wing, I don't watch the Blues)

Wow this is garbage. I hate player comparables. If Power and that other guy are both Hedman then why is one ranked over the other? Dumb. And it's oh look all of these guys are amazing, no busts here.

If he had deal in place for Risto then I would of looked at it differently. But he didnt. That why It was the wrong move.

When it was announced most on here said obviously he has a deal for Risto and hes smart to keep him instead of Borgen. No plan. Just like last 10 years

We've been over this.

And if you rally want to know. He didn't have any power till he was able to fire Kruger.

It's been said Kruger held all the power. Kruger wasn't suppose to stay as head coach for very long the idea was to move him to the offices upstairs. Then this year happened and everything was flipped on its head.

Adams was finally given power to fire Kruger did so. Named Meatballs coach and hired some very respectable people around him.

NOW they can actually make a plan and go through with it.




Heres the short version

I am leaning towards Eichel in a sabres jersey at opening game.

No one is going to pay up and I am glad Adams doesn't lower the price.
