It may turn out the Sabres playing him injured for weeks saved them a ton of money. Until we have proof Quinn and Peterka can score in the NHL getting rid of Vic when we have no reason to is a fool's game. The guy can score goals in the NHL on a line with always hurt Mitts and Selke Larry. That shouldn't be taken lightly. And, for Christ sake, the guy worked up from a 7th round pick. That deserves respect from the organization he did that with.

I’m with you. You wanna keep the vibe train rolling you need to sign some of your own and get ahead of bridge deals. Olo and Tage should be re-signed. Show commitment to at least one or two guys that put in the work and show up to play, even if they show up injured. Sign olo because he’s earned it in a crap organizational structure. Sign Tage cause if he does what he did last year, Terry’s brown growler is gonna pucker at the payday….

Be something new for this Organization " Get Ahead of the Game" would show there's growth throughout the Organization and not just on the ice.

It would also show growth in the gm. Has Adam’s signed anyone at 3 years or more? Has he committed to any players. At some point, doesn’t or shouldn’t a gm put a stamp on his team?

I know he got Ralph’d in year one so he is still pretty new at as Ralphless Gm. Which is why I think you commit to Tage and Olo.

How to Make a Bloody Mary From Scratch
Prep the homemade Bloody Mary mix. Stir together the tomato juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and Tabasco in a large pitcher.

Rim the glasses with a mixture of celery salt and kosher salt. Dip the rim of the glass in a plate of shallow water, then roll the rim a mix of celery salt and kosher salt.

Fill the glass with ice and add 4 ounces of vodka, then top it off with the Bloody Mary mix you prepared.

Garnish with your favorite nibbles

THE BUFFALO NEWS: Mike Harrington reports the Sabres signing goaltender Craig Anderson last week to a one-year deal doesn’t mean they’re done seeking help between the pipes. He anticipates they’ll sign or trade for a netminder while allowing Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen more time to develop.

Harrington doesn’t expect they’ll pursue notable UFAs such as St. Louis’ Ville Husso or Toronto’s Jack Campbell. Free-agent targets could include Dallas’ Braden Holtby, Pittsburgh’s Casey DeSmith or Winnipeg’s Eric Comrie. Trade options could be the Islanders’ Semyon Varlamov, San Jose’s James Reimer or the New York Rangers’ Alexandar Georgiev.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: As I noted earlier, the Isles seem unwilling to move Varlamov. I think the Sharks intend to retain Reimer for the coming season. Georgiev could be a good addition if they’re looking beyond 2022-23

It definitely seems as though some of the talk about goalies from KA is just lip service. He can't possibly still be bringing in another vet as well as all of the scrubs that you mention. There just aren't enough chairs.

Supposedly a great team guy, but what does he do on the ice that anybody would want him him resigned? Our new great analytics department should be all over this screaming NO. He's a below replacement level player
