Cap flexibility was the biggest reason Hubie and Weegar were traded entering the last year of their deals when Tkachuk suddenly became available. Tkachuk for 8 years at what Hubie and Weegar current expiring deals equal to.

Always wonder how things would have gone if Terry hired Zito over JB.

7D is always a funny decision. If they like Fitz, they might prefer to take the small risk and have him playing games in Roch than sitting in the press box. Top 6 seems set and not a situation where the 7D is ever dressing (barring injury).

Clague is an interesting option as well. He's younger than Pilut and Fitz, has more NHL games than either, and may be the best player of them. One of the UFA signings could easily end up landing that spot.

I saw Chase Priskie out on the ice for a couple of Sabres goals vs Caps. For those who have been following things, How’s he been looking during camp?

As I said previously, Girgss at 4C is perfect for the team in this his swansong season as a Saabre.

Nothing to see here, but thanks for the support.
- IonSabres

Slowly you guys are appreciating the veteran leader and good soldier girgensons has been.

You're gonna like him again. The losing really set this player back , from a fan stand point.

Would you take Reinhart back?
- DirtyDan

No because I don't want to hear Bossssy complaining every shift

If you watched Sabres vs Caps over the Bills game, you're ahead of most of us.

We'll just agree to disagree

For that reason alone I would take him back

They're 3.3mil in the hole right now. Hornqvist doesn't come off till next year. Yandle already retired
- DirtyDan

Yes, I said Zito will add next summer with money from Hornqvist’s expiring deal. Yandle’s buy out hit drops 5 million next year.
Duclair is on LTIR til after new year, at least. He is only a minimum contract over the cap with that. Something will be done when Duclair is healthy later this year.

Very much so, I like Clague to, him and Sova were good gets. We are not super strong at RD, but we have enough depth that they could move Joker for the right price.

I'd probably like sam a lot more if we were winning, just as I mentioned about you and girgensons.

Easy to blame certain players.

He was a failed core piece, with risto. And jackeboo

Lunaion, nobody is ahead of you ☝️

Several of these spaghetti models show this storm doing some crazy poop over the SE US. There’s gonna be a lot of flooding if it starts doing loop de loops up there and doesn’t go away.
And the model furthest east shows it backing up along the Cuba coast and then heading for the Bahamas.

If 65 in 82 is a failure... Then boy are we in for a treat

I haven't paid any attention to camp. My first look is tonight.

This isn't an interesting pre-season. Things are 99% set. Watching Sheahan look like their best option at 4C isn't exciting to anyone.

Your acting like players make these teams straight outta camp all the time.... 99% of the time these rosters are 99% complete before camp starts

hope the rehab is still going well

- DirtyDan

All I'm saying is that number is usually closer to 90%, and there's maybe 2 significant decisions. There's 0 this year.

Like the AGO line.

I think vinnie draws in the opening lineup with bjork and peterka sitting , as of now.

Vinnie is donnie's guy.
Donnie's guy plays to start IMO
- Boss34

Don't believe they signed Riley sheean for Rochester

I believe the kids go down till thanksgiving
Or injuries hit

1st forward drafted in 2014

Depends on your expectations

I think quinn and peterka earned their stripes.

Nothing more to learn IMO
