Guy who watches 10 minutes of Sabres hockey this year apparently, but spends countless man hours on a Sabres message board talking about them.

Makes sense
- Pegullaville

I've watched maybe 8 hours of Sabres hockey this year. And for every post in Hank's thread I spend maybe 90 seconds here.

Colorado,
Erik Johnson on their 3rd pair with a $6mil cap hit

Tampa,
U could argue that no goalie is worth 9.5mil

St.Louis,
Parayko is about to turn 29 & has an 8year extension starting next year- that’ll get ugly at some point

Carolina
Staal is overpaid at $6mil per

- Pegullaville

No team is without mistakes

Uh, no.

Erik Johnson

Vasilevskiy

Binnington

Kotkaniemi

Um. No. Kotkaniemi and vadilevsky ain’t bad contracts.

Fail.

9.5mil for a goalie is never a “good” deal
And it will very likely turn into a bad deal at some point

When that goalie is the best goalie in the world and you don’t win 2 cups without him, it seems justified to me.

So then StL won the ROR trade, right?
Bc we haven’t even made the playoffs with Tage
And they wouldn’t have won the Cup without playoff MVP O’Reilly

Thanks for falling into my trap
Today just isn’t your day dude

Just got a PM from Flacccoville. Evidently ER sent him directly to ICU. Saying he’s suffering from third degree Fitz burns from last blog.

Yeah, Kotkaniemi has such a great deal he took a 20% pay cut at 21 years old.

And no goalie is worth $9.5M

Price was the best goalie in the world, too.

Bobrovsky was amazing, too

Tampa Bay won 2 Cups because they had $100M payroll

None of the other former Sabres in recent memory like Reinhart, O’Reilly, Kane and Ristolainen opted to take that route.

Not true. ROR gave Buffalo the business to. “I’m losing my love for the game” if that’s not a shot at the team I’m not exactly sure what it is.

Yeah Konecny I'd absolutely take, I just doubt they're interested in moving him. He's young enough and still term left. If the price was right, given our cap situation, I still might consider Couts.
- RhinoFan

Look at his deal. It should immediately make you rethink about the idea of trading for him, as his deal is buyout proof due to all the bonus money 💰 annually. He also has a full no move clause until his final season when it won't matter.

Uh, no.

You forgot one...

Also, that new deal for Kotkaniemi is mystifying. Feels like a saving face move as a result of the offer sheet.

Man what a Sh!t show in here! Funny how people jump all over Peg's, but everyone on here has had some wild takes and things they have said. Man no wonder are writers always leave.

This is what happenes when the Sabres have three nights off. Thank god I start hiking Sunday morning. You boys are in for a loooong offseason. This is seriously going to be one of the worst Sabre offseasons. Personally, i cannot friggen wait to see this team + a goalie start at even par with the rest of the East.

I'm darn sure going to miss the first 2 rounds of the playoffs, but I should be back for conference finals forwards. 1st round of the NHL Playoffs may be the best 10 days in sports.

Let's give it up for Patty Kane. 33 years old, on a bad team needing to rebuild, and putting in one of his best seasons:

76gp 22g 66a 92p, and doing that with his 3rd lowest shooting % (9.3) of his career.

Buffalo's best. Sorry, Mr. Spahn.

Oh, hell the (frank) no.
2 - 16 in our last 18 against Boston. How is that even possible? This has to end.

If it looks like we're losing this one....get dirty.

Backpacking changed my life in high Covid 2020.

I've been to 7 national parks out West because i took up backpacking. Amazing hobby.

A question I have not heard asked this year: Does anyone expect all 8 Eastern conference teams to need 100 points for the playoffs next season? How often has that happened before this season?

Oh, I shall. The Appalachian trail is a walking party.

Metballs at 8:00 on WGR. Brandon Beane at 8:30.

Very nice. I don't follow the Bills nearly like you all, but they seem like a great drafting team right now. Their picks tend to play a lot of games. No idea what they will pick, but i bet he turns out to be a decent NFL player regardless of position.

Sabres went nowhere with ROR, now have a player that fits their timeline.

The Blues got their cup, the Sabres got a potential top 6 Center for the next decade.

I didn’t fall into any trap, you busted a nut before you could get your zipper off. Next time maybe wait a couple years to proclaim winners and losers of a trade ?

Or are you saying you’d rather have a 31 year old ROR over a 24 year old Tage Thompson ?

I'd rather have a Cup and the player traded for that wins every award on the way there.

Tage is a good story for the last 100 games though.

This like when women go on vacation together without men. After two days the catfights happen, and they all come home enemies. We were spoiled with a game every other night for a month.
