How are you making the cap work?

Sign the Zamboni drive to a max one year contract and have him dress as the back up.

Right?
And there was behavior that actually was questionable that could be brought up that would actually make sense

Krebs, 22 & 23 1st.
- IndianaSabresFan


Krebs, Theodore, 2nd

Eichel and something else from the Sabres that doesn't cost a lot like a young D they like.

Salary has to come back

I think losing Sam and Risto helped the culture too, not just Jack. I know the skunk lovers aren't going to like that but so be it.
- GilPerreault11


I like Sam the player, but it's certainly possible, same with Risto. Even if they generally were good guys, and tried to be positive the constant losing may have gotten the better of them, some guys that's just how it works. Guys like Girgs and KO seem like they'll keep going to the last bell, even if their talent isn't top notch. I would put myself on Sam's side, but I don't think it's a reach to say that a shake up of all 3 helped shift the culture.

It would either be a pick-2 of Tuch/Smith/Theodore or a third party has to get involved to deal some dead cap to the Sabres.

The Coyotes with Gostisbehere could be a candidate to lend some cash

I think Theodore would seem to be an “untouchable” for them though
What makes u think they’d move him?

While talking to her make her throw in 2 dozen of her cookies
- IndianaSabresFan


1- krebs

2- 22 conditioned first

3- ? - I want one of the d prospects or Theodore… but Vegas just won’t do it. So Brisson?

4- smith, cap purposes, flip at the deadline, retain celery to add value

Smith doesn’t offset Jacks $10. Smith and Theodore would, but I don’t see it.

Jack gets the kucharov treatment. Comes back for playoffs and then Vegas figures out the rest of the cap in the offseason?!?

Cause he doesn't have a clause, and they signed a dman yesterday.

From NRD:

To save confusion…

If Krebs isn’t involved? #NRD very surprised.

If defensemen not involved? #NRD less surprised

Good to see ya! How’ve you been? Wedding plans coming along? Hearing anything on your end? Close to anything or we wait…

Thoughts on Brisson the prospect?

Another thing with Vegas, wonder if they found out if Stone is Long Term, if he is they really only have to move 1 contract for know.

Also from NRD:

Appreciate that. Once Eichel is traded I’ll explain on @ColdStovePod why/how some info went cold or dead on me during this saga. Magician never reveals their secrets but I’ll break the fourth wall a little.

Also side note.

Use Mayo instead of butter as you’re grilled cheese base.

You’re welcome.
