If Arttu Ruotsalainen isn't on this roster I'm going to scream. The kid should have been on the last two teams, and he scored 5 goals (in 17 games), more than Cozens managed in over twice as many games. For the life of me I can't understand why this organization picks random talented players like Pilut or Ruotsalainen and just refuses to give them chances while giving years of chances to other players who never deserve them.

That would be step one to getting better. Start playing your best players. Give skinner 18 minutes a night. Stop putting Olofsson on the top line, he can't even play the game 5v5. Shoot Cody Eakin to the moon. Stop playing mind games and pet favourites and just let the best 18 skaters play.

Pilut sucked. He had his chances yet he squandered them. Agree on Artu.

Here we go. KA talking about Jack.

"We're in control, we have him under contract...."

I love it.

Edit: "We're under no pressure..."

89 mentioned this too. Basically he stuck out the middle finger to any GM tryin to lowball him.


I still cant believe LA turned down 8 overall and Byfield for eichel

Go check out the video on the FB channel.

Personal opinion, the text doesn't do it justice.

Just look at KA's body language. Everything said, I'm under no pressure and I know what I'm doing.

Either the or he's the BEST poker player I've ever seen.

He's acting like someone that is totally in control....and knows it. And the more Jack's team tries to get leverage by speaking out...it shows me he's sticking to his guns.

Here's a question for all you cap gurus.

If the Sabres start the year just above the cap floor, and LTIR the Jackhole, and they go under the floor, are they penalized?

at a glance, looks like dahlin, joker, casey and asplund will get us to the floor w/o eichel as we are at 54.5 before signing them, and jack on ltir

Dahlin's a no brainer if he doesn't want Seth Jones money

What do you think about signing joker or mitts to longer terms? 4-5 years (they arent max contract players obv. Or do you bridge them?

If it’s “team friendly” term. F it, 8 years for everybody! Mitts gets one year for every pull-up he can now do. Joker, you get 8 years. Dahlin, you get 8 years. Anderson, you get AARP.

I would bridge everyone but dahlin

if dahlin does not want 8 years, bridge him as well

Just realized that Asplund was a piece of the Pysyk trade. Fun that they are both on the team together. Maybe.

I meant to look to see if the guy Florida picked in that trade made it. I hated the trade at the time.

If it was a problem they could just put him on regular IR, right?

Literally on Twitter with some dude telling me that Eichel will tank the rest of his five year career if the Sabres don't move him.

You can't make this up.

My GUESS is he's a NYR fan.

Not sure if he was taken with the pick mentioned or not, but it might’ve been Adam Mascherin, who looked promising but then starting acting like he was owed a spot in Sunrise...traded to Dallas, for whom he is still an AHL player.

Edit, may not have been traded, might’ve just not signed with FL and went back into the draft.
