Give me something 89!! Every time I open a Sabres link I throw up a little bit in my mouth seeing that bald head.

Don’t expect much.

Draft

Develop

Pay / resign our own


Look for lower hanging fruit of a player. I don’t have an analytics website. But I’m sure there is a way to sort through it

Start looking, maybe some will still be available.

Sicko…

Anderson missed more time than UPL. Is he an injury machine too?
- Lunaion

Tokarski is not an injury machine ☝️

His possession and shot quality numbers far exceed nearly 2/3 of the Sabres top 9. Obviously, given their position, I would not overpay, but this is a classic buy low opportunity that carries far more potential reward than risk.
- Michael Ghofrani

He’s also a player whom can help in the short and long term.

If the finishing ability comes around he’s Nichuskin 2.0. If it doesn’t, he’s a solid middle 6 option whom will be underpaid in terms of what he brings in terms of overall impacts due to lack of points (ditto Asplund in that regard)

Makes too much sense but won’t happen

Green Olives with Pepperoni.

Guy was a #3 pick overall. Worth exploring if price is right

Won’t command a high AAV due to not being able to turn his impacts into points.

Get it done KAGM

Taco get the youngins geared up! It's go time! A week before the draft, a week of new wake-up chalk messages to set the tone.

One thing Buffalo has going for it here is the Swedish connection with Dahlin, Asplud, Olo etc

Fitz go pop a ritalin.

Pretty sure that’s his problem not his solution

So with him being Finnish I guess we're cooked

Meh
If he comes cheap, then ok
He just doesn’t do much for me when i watch him

He was actually born in Sweden. He has dual citizenship.

Huh, did not know that, my bad. Must be incredibly awkward, given the rivalry

I mean yeah that's sort of the point. Thats why people compare it to COL signing nichushkin after being bought out (and posting zero goals). Relatively cheap bet with tons of upside.

we have trouble scoring and 2 first overall guys on D

I would lean toward keeping olofsson and the assets needed to get mikjeyev
- homiedclown

I'm still back reading and maybe this was said but from what I read it's probably a 4th or 5th to get his rights

Lol.... never played more than 65 games. Never scored more than 35 points. He's a nothing player who is absolutely invisible three games out of four. Did his name get mentioned once in Edmonton's playoff run? Oh yeah, he played a lot of his season on a line with Conner McDavid. I wonder if that boosted his pathetic numbers? This guy is a first class stiff. The only thing he has in his favor is he's 25, so I guess he's prime stiff for the next 5 seasons. Whoopie!

We have our share of stiffs already who are younger named Krebs, Cozens, and Mittelstadt. Don't see the point of going for another stiff who we didn't draft. Let's work on turning our own goalless wonders into players.

- Leninthebuff

Really, I been getting a 2nd or 3rd, he's basically Mitts with better metrics

Let's have some fun! What would be a suitable offer?
1-Cat/Murphy going for the combo pack.
2-Lawson Crouse
3- Mikheyev
Money
1-Manson
2- Lyubushkin
3- Nichushkin

The McDavid line was better with Jesse on it then when he wasn’t.

I’m not jumping down the analytics hole again though with you.
