2022 1st. Frost. Konecny. Conditional 2023 1st.

Is that funny enough.

- Michael Pachla

Are trying to be funny with this post? The last time you tried it it did not go over well.

Would do that deal very easily from a flyers standpoint. Though don't think you are being serious.

To some extent yes. They absolutely should be though . They have no star player to build around or make the fans want to come see. The franchise is dying a slow death.

Was responding to you sayin they are probably not a player in it. Why?

31 teams are interested in Jack. What he costs is a different conversation.

if it suits the fly-boys then fine with me...

i have no problem with that offer...joel fabree would be no. 1 on my list in a trade, but now way the flyboys give him up...

i think the aforementioned trade is about all that the two teams could come together on...

and, yes, risto was a joke...but it wasn't directed at you or fly-boy fans it was more towards those in this thread, as another sabres poster used him as well...

wadr, don't be such a d!ck next time

I know it was a joke. Just a bad one is all....

As I said I easily accept that trade. They really are not giving up anything that isn't replacable or will set them back. $$$ wise wont work though.

JVR would have to come as a cap dump or go to a different team

They were calling awhile back on Jack, but they switched gears to Rhino or Risto.

JVR gets a bad rap. He isn't a slug who doesn't produce any longer. Still solid. Buff in turn can then move him at the deadline or off season.

Though yes his money would need to go off the flyers books.

That is the best you can do in terms of trying to be funny? Complete failure.

He’s completely obsessed with Ristolainen

Just looking at contracts with no clauses attached to make a deal easier. JVR doesn't do anything for the Sabres at this point but the money works better.

Don't see a good fit tbh

I think JVR is what Rhino is going to be in his early 30's: an excellent second line winger who will score you 25 goals consistently.

Great blog Baller


Any updates on Sabres players chosen to play for their home countries in the upcoming Olympics?

I'd assume the best players would be announced on a preliminary list soon? 🤔

Any Sabres gonna be captain of their Olympic teams?

Good move, has Adams reign been really that depressing or has it all built up with the decade of crap.
- Buff36


Late admittedly,
I'll reiterate my post from a blog or 2 ago...

Give a Mulligan to Adams' 1st year since the Pegula's virtually cut his nuts off the day they hired him by having him fire his support staff and take direction from the snake oil salesman called Ralph...who really was Freddie.

Starting with this offseason I'd give him a solid "Incomplete" given the Eichel trade mess. He can score an A collectively if he aces the trade, or conversely an F if he bungles it...it IS THAT big of a deal. To date, he has earned points by remaining steadfast in staring-down numerous GM's, yet at the same time he has participated in devaluing Eichel's trade value a bit with his comments since May. His '21 Draft looks pretty good, but is too early to tell. His FA acquisitions are generally lacking in skill, but maybe make up for it in spirit and compete...could be exactly the right plan given Tank 4 direction.

Yet, it all balances of the outcome of the Eichel trade.

Isn't that what Rhino is right now? asking for a friend.

I've been meaning to add a note to a blog about Gus and the Olympics for a couple weeks now but it keeps slipping through the cracks.

I'm happy for Gus that he gets to represent his country - unfortunately for him, Latvia figures to be the Sabres of the Olympics

Pretty much, they really need to deal Eichel to move on.
- Lunaion


This confuses me.

Why trade jack for less now? While his medical condition isnt certain?

I've been saying it all along, why acquire jack's assets now, during tank4? Just wait.

Doesnt make sense, he's not with the team and it's a great distraction from the Sabres losing. Perfect excuse as well..

Your being impatient ☝️
