Ya that's what I was talking about

Might make some since

I am once again asking for an a la carte option to watch the Sabres without paying for cable.


I would gladly pay $100 a season for such an option

Well, except for the cost of a cracked firestick and some shady company/individual having your CC info.

More fodder for the Mahomes love fest, but my god, he’d kill a guy to win a game. I don’t think there’s another player on the planet that would’ve played that well with that injury. He’s Jordanlike

Ostlund and 2 seconds is about what it would take

not quinn, ostlund and a first

You are clearly clueless in your arrogance. The simple fact that you pretend to know what it would take describes in short order your lack of intelligence.

Curious to hear your reasoning of why a deal for Meier would be markedly different then the one for DeBrincat.

https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/609227

Keep in mind you're getting less than 2 seasons left of team control, and his QO is a million higher then DeBrincat.

Also, I don't believe teams are allowed to attach trade conditions anymore on if a player signs an extension with the team they are traded to.

Finally, Quinn, Ostlund and the Sabres 2023 1st is a hysterical joke of an overpayment.

I agree that the proposed trade packages set forth in this article are extreme. But I have read in more than one place that they are looking for TWO #1s plus (I have read a third rounder this year though I don't have it in front of me). So, here is the thing. They don't need to trade him. They might not like it but they can resign him at a controlled cost which seems to be arguably what he is worth, certainly by the end of the next season if not this upcoming season. So from their end they don't need to take anything thrown their way. Plus, the more I read about this player he is truly very good overall and very, very good offensively. And it appears that there is a long list of teams interested in his services. Comparables are great but they can say to any of the multiple teams approaching them comparables mean nothing, especially if they truly are willing to resign him. High quality product with exceptional demand with a buyer who does not need to sell. Simple economics.

He's a sports writer with an opinion, not a Front Office guy.
His opinion is not gospel.

Now, for the record I have suggested a trade as follows:
- Olofsson (NHL Player)
- Rosen (Top Prospect, 2021 1st Rd; #14-OA)
- 2023-2nd Rd (open to Philly, Sabres or VGK)
- 2024-1st (conditioned on Meier signing)
For
- Meier
- SJS 2024-2nd (Conditioned on SJS receiving Sabres 2024-1st)

I also like Buf36's idea of going after Benning
- Portillo rights
- Bryson
- IonSabres

Though I will not pretend to know what it will take since none of us knows that, I do think your proposal seems like something that the Sharks would consider in light of what I have read is their asking price. Especially now that Olofsson has, I think, substantially increased his trade value. (I had previously suggested that he might be a piece to a Buffalo trade for Meier.) Plus, because it seems that Meier would be potentially taking the place of someone on Olofsson's line it would be good to get him out as part of this trade before the Sabres have to give him a substantial raise. There are only so many big contracts that a team can retain long term. One other thing I agree with you is that the article is just one man's opinion and his projections are a bit, well, weirdly excessive. But they do reflect more of what the Sharks seem to be looking for. There are a couple of aspects of your trade proposal that don't make sense to me but ultimately I think your proposal does make sense though.

Lol @ the nfl. One dog poop game, and one game decided by the bookies. Typical.

Meier's $10M QO and his long term contract expectations are giant factors in the quality of a trade return San Jose may get for him, and other GM's know it.

They got to Burrow, we didn't. Bills were finished after that Monday night incident. They just beat NE because there bad, if Miami doesn't drop all those Balls Buffalo doesn't make it past them. The Cincinnati game the Bills didn't even leave the locker room.

It is entirely possible the bold is true, but after how last season ended on 13 seconds, and the way they collectively got their asses handed to them to end this season, it feels a bit like another pseudo excuse to not make any meaningful changes and just try again next season.

Didn't they already release the token, meaningless staff firing for the upcoming season?

Yankees and Glayber agree to deal for one year. What a bust.

Yeah that’s kind of what you’re doing but go on

Who will join the Sabres as the 2nd WC team after Washington and Pittsburgh fall off the rest of the year?

Will one of those two teams go nuts to acquire a difference maker for one last run?

Sure, Secondary Coach takes the fall for who was calling the defense. I just say that bolded because they were mentally gone.

Chat gpt is fascinating.

Ivan Barbashev, would he be of interest.

He had a big year last season, but he shot 23%, which was roughly double his norm.

Now he's back to producing at his normal level.

He's been playing LW, which means he's not currently out producing any winger on line 1 or on the Mittelstadt - Jost - Olofsson line.

He's not playing line 4, so if you bring him in, are you sitting one of Peterka or Quinn for marginally better production?

I'm not doing that.

I'm only bringing in a forward if it is a clear upgrade, especially if it means I need to sit a rookie, and Barbashev doesn't appear to be that.

Yeah, I was just reading more up on him, not having the success at LW.
