He could have deflected, he could have not answered.

If he is gone like Gerbe says he is gone then he doesn't need to say it.

It makes other GM's know they don't have to throw out there best offer if Adams said anything other then what he did.

No one to start.
But your question does reinforce how weak the roster is.
- IonSabres

Dustin Brown😉😉

No he won't.. it would decrease his value and have more question marks.

But he's gone so it won't matter

Good thinking...tell Adams to hurry up already...he has been at this since May!!

What's the holdup Gerbes?

Just have to make sure everything is right for the franchise going forward.

this is going to set us up for the future just have to be patient

No such thing around here Gerbe's. How you been, and how is the dog.

So was 39 on to something with Montreal or is there a team we aren't expecting?

Good post, not sure about them being able pry Foote away, but I like the concept!
Go Sabres!!!

Interesting look.

Only one forward signed for more than two years.

No d men. With Dahlin and Joker RFAs. Do you bridge them or long term them?

And zero goalies.

If only they started this in 2011

I would see if Dahlin would do a 6yr and probably bridge Joker.

How do you feel the return will be given the average Sam value and really solid Risto value….

Got to be careful with term...6 years walks Z Dahl in right to UFA. Better to do 8, or like a 3, 4 year "bridge".

I was thinking the opposite. Lol

Max term dahlin.
Bridge joker.

I know the argument. Short term Dahlin and get the 10 years total. I’d just like to see the commitment to the kid.

Edit. I read your post wrong. Lol. Oh well long hot day.

Doesn’t a 6yr buy 2yrs of UFA with Dahlin cause he burned a whole year of his ELC at 18.

But how was his body language when he said it?

He can say whatever he wants to say or say nothing at all.
- sabresfan69

When he was saying it he kinda looked like he had the fish for dinner

Tell you one thing, he was smiling ear to ear when talking about the Sam trade.

It was kind of disturbing.

And I kind of liked it.

Jack's more online with Risto return given his 5 years left on contract...and playing the C position at an Elite level.
Should be strong...especially when the Sabres Private Eye releases pictures of Jack working out, skating, playing chicken fights in the pool...

They did and Tim Murray traded away a bunch of picks that the sabres accumulated and made bad trades.

Good catch.
Why not go full 8 years?

You! You there! You better love to play for this team, or or or...ELSE!

(frank) that crap.

You get players that want to play here and FOR EACH OTHER, like we saw at the end of the year last year. They either buy in, or bye bye.

Not attacking you, but this franchise has to do it the old fashioned way and that's build w the draft and hopefully a Jack trade sets us up with guys who buy in.

The Pats are known for taking problem players, and it didn't seem to affect them winning at all.

Belichick being the biggest bumhole of all; guys didn't flock there to play for each other, they did it for the rings.

Eichel isn't the problem, rampant mismanagement is.

Crosby is allegedly a massive bumhole, yet we don't hear a (frank)ing peep, because he's got 3 Cups.

Before the Kelly era Bills got good, they were called the "Bickering Bills".

Winning solves everything.

Respectfully, we've been patient since the Pegulas owned this team.

Good catch.

I would try at first, but think he might do a 6 cause it gives him a chance at another big pay day.

Saw this quote from Reinhart posted earlier,
"It was a tough spot to be in," Reinhart said. "For me, I feel I've been there a long time. I've truly given it everything I could have. For whatever reason, my contract situation has led to this point. I'd always been prepared to sign long term, but the reality of the situation kind of led to this, where there were some decisions that had to be made.”

This is the rest of his quote from the nhl.com article,
“So it was a tough spot to be in for a city that has given me so much over six, seven, however many years it has been. I truly feel like I had been committed and done everything that was asked, and really unfortunate that it didn't work out the way anyone wanted or envisioned, but really looking forward to a fresh start down in Florida."

Tampa Lightning players take less money, young players fall in line so that they can fit more quality players in. Play for each other.
