If the rookie starts I still might take the bills

I would take the bills at -13 even is case is our starting qb

I think bottom six and defense get a make over. Goaltending? 50/50. The market is so hard to predict
- Michael Ghofrani

Need to see the 2nd half to make a call on goalies, but please no Anderson. Just makes a mess of things, even when he's playing well.

Gotta wonder if the Bills get ahead enough, they start resting players..... both sides of the ball

2 touchdowns is tough to make up

They'd wind up losing everyone they worked so hard to bring back, including the players.

Came up with a mock lineup the other day that shook out to roughly 70.5 mil. Which is only 3 mil more than their current expenditure and it involved a notable change at goaltending, D and the bottom six.

I think we'll see changes, I just can't guarantee we'll like all of them lol.

Are you holding out on us or are you going to share the mock lineup you referenced above?

Hyde isn't playing this week
- joevthree

Which is fine.


I just feel like his neck injury……. It’s either strong enough to play or not. No in between.

Unlike other injuries that player rehab

- Lunaion

Nah he's playing once every 10 days now. This is his last year.

The more interesting bit is whether Luukkonen can shoulder 50+ games a year. If he can't , they may need to move Comrie out of necessity.

It’s funny, the media will say this is basically a bye for the Bills, we very well could end up with key injuries.

Oh i didnt save it or anything like that but notably:

Engvall, Jensen as UFA's. Patrick Brown, Ryan Murray and Kuhlman for depth.

Cozens 7x7

Trades: VO for pick, picks and prospects for Demko. I didnt attach any names to it, just wanted to see what the final number would be for overall team cap hit.

Do they owe us future considerations? Getting hard to remember with so many. If they waive him in the next couple weeks, I'd get a good laugh.

Not to my knowledge but who knows. Would be hilarious. I just assume Tom Fitzgerald has something on everyone in the league.

Darn. That grit will not be missed.

I will miss his dumb penalties, subpar passing, and poor hockey IQ.

Oh way. We still also he Lybuskin.


Noooooooo

- Michael Ghofrani

No suprise.

Sabres didnt want to expose him. They seem to have a good grasp on players currently. I'm Mildly disappointed.

If Cozens ends the season at 30 goals and 50 assists, would he take the Tage deal, or would he expect more?

No Severson as a potential UFA addition?

Maybe a little more, but Hischier had 101 points in 156 games when he signed his deal, which came out 8.9% of the cap. The 2023 equivelant would be ~7.4 mil.

At the pace you described, Cozens would finish with 131 pts in 200 games. It's possible he could get more than Tage, but it won't be by much.

I like Severson, just thought Jensen was more cost effective, which was what I was trying for.

With the cap expected go up greatly in the next 2 to 3 seasons, I could see Cozens expecting more to maybe a good bit more on a full term deal, else a bridge deal is what he'd want, ala Dahlin, to sign his giant deal when the cap is $90M+

I'm predicting cozens takes an identical deal to tage.
7 for 50 million.

Very vibey

- kingcong39

I don't think it's going to go up as much as people have been saying. But even then, if we apply the upper end of Cozens comparable (hischier) to a potential 87 mil cap, thats 7.7 mil. And even if Cozens maintains his pace, he doesn't have the same pedigree Hischier had.

I would be fine with that. Have our two top centers locked up. Get Dahlin signed longterm. Would be great bones to a new core

Decisions Decisions Decisions caught up a bit quicker to the Sabres than expected. Gonna be fun to see what Decisions are made over the next 7 or 8 months that could really set the tone for the next few seasons.

7 for 50ish is 2c ror money conisidentialy

Now we have tage for 7 instead of eichel for 10 million

Okposos 6 million can go towards dahlins 11 million per.
