Isn't looking for a defenseman after 3 injuries reactive, not proactive?

I'm generally with Cong on this. System is all F's and no D. Challenge is going to be selling high on a F for a D, ideally next summer. Easy to say sell high, buy low. Very difficult to do, while preaching vibes and want to be here. They drafted themselves into a very strange spot.

I mean I recognize the gaps in the org. If Joker can be swapped in some fashion for a real guy, that defense is Thor gif. You gotta wonder when Kevo will start putting defense into the system.

I think he did well to get Pilut, Davies, Clague and Priskie signed. That tweener depth was a great move and has already been needed ten games in. It'd be really great if Johnson signed.

Fortunately our 3 top D are 22 or less. That's a good position to be in. It allows the org to slow cook more defensemen. I just wish there were more. And I think they see it too. I mean, they have to. They were asked about it several times.

I think the fact that you act like a 5th and 3.6 m in cap space is feasible.

That's not the way we are structured. Team doesnt throw $ away.

How do you not understand that?

Throw money away, they had to buy a fake Contract to get to the Cap floor. Jesus!! Go back to doing your Volcan Mind Melt with your Girgs Bobblehead.

He showed too much confidence in their bottom 3 D.

The VO deal screams 'sell high'. Let's see if he follows through.

Why so angry? Tough too have a common discussion with you.

$ is important, what's 3+ million here or there right?

In all seriousness I think the Sabres are probably looking for a 24-25 year old RHD who either already has a contract or has another year of RFA eligibility.

Something like Philly 2nd rounder and Olivier Nadeau for that guy.

I dont know who that guy is though

Any chance they bring ROR back to be the 4th line center next season?

He has as many points as Comrie this year

Seattle has made some smart moves. Should take a shot on their AGM.

He worked with Karmanos in Pitt, so we're good on the isolationist front.

A 3-year extension would give Girgensons a chance to be 5th all time in Sabres GP
