sabres have 5 players currently over a point per game lol

And two goalies under a 900 save percentage. Two half decent dmen and a goalie and this team is in the playoff race

log jam? They are desperate for a better 3LD and have no one in the system. Easy path to the NHL.
- Lunaion


Logjam at the top 3 spots

More so than any other nhl team.

If johnson is aiming to just make a squad, were the place.

Bottom pairing dreamin'

Excellent blog Baller....

Great thoughts on levi.
Wouldn't that be an exciting post tdl move adding levi.

Smart protecting tage as well. Didn't one clown take 5 minors for Columbus? (No offense to clowns)

1 game under fake .500
Feeling really good as a Sabres fan

I say we head up to Northeastern with a customized Levi goathead jersey and 10 Sicilian wings. Time to land the big fish.

That was basically my call to WGR this morning. What is this kid waiting for? Is there a special orgy at college for your 2nd Hoby Baker award? Let your chestnuts descend, kiddo, and play a man's game.

Just curious. I appreciate your opinion.

Johnson might want to join an upcoming team and youthful promising defense.

Johnson could want more playing time and see the Sabres as a log jam.

I'm thinking logjam- not good

Sign in buffalo mid April or wait till August 15 and sign with any team in league

The much maligned, and often made fun of Leafs goaltending additions this season, through 33% of the season.

So far, they made the right moves and are yet again a top regular season team.

There is a contract angle to it. He'll get a 2 year ELC either way, but could burn the 1st year in Buffalo, effectively a 1 year ELC.

KA's plan is going as planned.

It's hard to find a place that Levi's more needed/ wanted

I expect him to go UFA, but there are reasons to sign here. I have no clue what he'll do. Boss just forced me to answer.

Die hard is the OG Harry Potter movie. Creeping around a tower, late at night, trying to hide from Alan rickman.
