Maybe you haven't noticed but Fritz doesn't need an alt account and I don't either. To be real honest I would hope I'm wrong and Kernal Rsh is the real deal. He's a star on this site and maybe he can come back as the Capatan Rsh.

We need to have serious conversations with both Johnson and Portillo first to see their interest. If both say no hell offer them both. Not sure it gets it done because of they won’t sign in Buffalo not sure chicago would whirl their wing nut either.

But 2nd should be in play.

Both Johnson and Portillo are positions of need for this team.

Do you think an NHL Team is not having these conversations with their at risk prospects?

Agreed. As stated earlier, at worst they walk and we get a pick for them. Either they show up at the end of the year or they don't. Unless they indicate that they aren't coming the only course of action is to sit tight.

Of the two, I think Portillo is far more likely to walk. I remain hopeful that Johnson signs.
Still, for each of these guys, one has to wonder why, with a path wide friggin open for both what exactly are they thinking...especially on a very exciting team with so much young skilled players in the pipeline to augment the roster for many years to come.

If their decision is to walk with all that in front if them, then so be it...it's a sign they wouldn't fit anyway.

The way the Sabres have been playing, may change a couple minds.

All the sudden we look like an intriguing place to play.

Why wouldn't we already look like that? If I was someone that was hungry I'd want to go to a team that was exactly like us, New Jersey, etc.

I just saw Sal's article on WGR that said Bills are leaving a day early to go to Chicago. I thought all of the know it all insiders on here were saying the game is being moved? Who is right? I got fantasy football decisions to make.

They don't watch NHL hockey if they don't want to be here now. I will say, if one of them secretly has a deal with the Redwings already in the works....well, they're obviously going to be good for years too.
