Since Ben Bishop’s contract is LTIR eligible (and only has 1 year left), I’m not expecting any return for the Sabres here


Good ole Sabres.

We all knew this was coming.

Excuse the callousness but even when a sick relative dies, you're still distraught. Comparatively, you know this dumb poop is coming, expect it, and yet still irritated and disappointed when it happens.

If we are doing moves like this to get to cap I would not expect any big splashes this off-season. If we were gonna do that we wouldn’t be doing moves like Bishop

It's the 1st move of the new season, that kinda hurts as a fan

Should have waited to draft weekend

you know what, (frank) that, I don't need that weekend for Kyvyn to take a shet in the punch. Get it out of the way.

For sure, and it definitely lowers expectations.

It's hard to be optimistic

“Bishop has a Limited NTC where he can list 10 teams he cannot be traded to, and while he has essentially retired from hockey and therefore would likely not block a trade involving his contract, it's worth noting that if Buffalo was on his list that he'd still need to approve it.”

Would be pretty funny if he blocked it. 😂😂

I respect that point of view.

It's not the new "2022-23" Calander year yet

Well, they have to spend another $14m

Anderson $1m
Olo $5m( per the Twins)
Hinostroza $1m
Brycen $1m
UPL 1m
JJ $.9m

That is roughly $10m
$4 more to go
Nothing huge

Perfect.
He can complete the Anthem Trio with his brother and Allen.
Very efficient.
