The Sabres should’ve sent Dahlin to the all star game with the goat head.

Why that ugly white jersey
- Sabretooth9

Looks like everyone wore the Reverse Retro jersey. I would have pulled an "oopsie" and only had the black goathead.

I feel the Sabres purposely gave Olofsson a two year deal to use him as a trade chip.

I believe they anticipated knocking on the door of the playoffs next year, except the roster had other ideas.

I find it hard to believe they would deal either Mitts or Olofsson now, despite it being the best time to move both.

I think they know it's time to move on from Mittelstadt and he probably agrees. He needs a shot to be a middle-6 center elsewhere. It's not going to happen here.

I think he gone this summer for sure

Management is probably still a bit unsure.
2 year deal / (4) 1st round forwards picked 2021/22.

That's a plan to move on, not uncertainty.

Right lol. Everyone else has cool retro Jerseys.

Ours sucks

Maybe?

Maybe they hope to resign him on a team friendly deal?

This is the way.

Or they could trade Asplund for Greenway and move on from both Girgensons and Asplund.

Greenway is bigger and younger than Girgensons and offers the same defensive value.

I don't care if it's Mallone, Greenway or Jost

just something that does not suck

Don't be shocked if you see 21 and 28 back on 1 year deals.

How did all this Greenway talk start? He's on year 1 of an extension, is his name actually out there?

Seems like it's natural to not like a player who dissed fans:


Josh Allen’s snub by MLB player impacted how he interacts with fans
“Just knowing how much of an impact something so minor can make.”
Josh Allen
MLBNFLBy Jessica Kleinschmidt on February 2, 2023

It sounded like the usual “guy from a small town makes it big” narrative, and you could argue that to be true, but it was more than that.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s Firebaugh, Calif. roots sprouted a time ago, and so did his exposure to professional sports. It was a situation with a former San Francisco Giants player that will forever stick with Allen and how he interacts with fans.


Firebaugh is located two and a half hours south of San Francisco and it was worth the trip for a young Allen who played baseball sporting a Giants jersey of his own back in the day.

ESPN NFL Sunday Countdown
You see, this particular Giants player had finished his game (and played well, as Allen recounted) and despite it being about an hour after the final out, had left the stadium where around 10 young fans waited outside of AT&T Park, including Allen. This particular player seemingly ignored those hoping to score an autograph or perhaps a photo.

It appeared to be a small instance but it added to Allen’s character in a way that he carried with him before, and after, he started sporting a Bills uniform.

“Instead of looking and waving – maybe even giving us fistbumps or whatever, [he] just kind of turned his cap to the side and just kept walking,” Allen said in an interview with WROC-TV’s Thad Brown in October of 2020. “That just left an impression on me. I was just like, ‘I don’t want to root for this guy anymore.’”




Brown guessed Allen was referring to “BB” who had snubbed him –the initials of the home run king Barry Bonds, to which Allen immediately answered, “No, it wasn’t him.”

Regardless of who the player was, the snub left an indelible impact on him.

“It bothered me so much,” Allen added. “I told myself if I was in a position like I am today, I’d do everything in my power to make sure I acknowledged every kid that looked up to me and that was a fan because I’ve been there before and I know how bad it hurt me when an athlete that I looked up to didn’t seem like he cared too much about us.”

Allen said because of that encounter he makes sure during each training camp that he’s the last one out there signing things for young fans and offering up high fives.

Oh yeah, former Olympic team captain jordan greenway.
Former all star greenway ,should just replace a guy who's jersey will hang in the rafters.

Makes sense

I’d honestly be shocked if they weren’t brought back on one year deals

I kinda thought so, but the team isnt going to replace all the veterans this offseason.

Girgs might command more then a 1 year deal.
Okposo should get 1 year at 1.25 million

They don't need him with Tage and Tuch here, you can find a Girgensons anywhere.

Couldn't do it. I tried. Mitch Marner dressed up like Don Johnson tossing a soft wrister to 50-year old Bobby Lou in a cartoon breakaway competition was all i could handle. I hope the 250 sponsers there with their familes are enjoying themselves. Tage lucked out bigtime. Feel bad for Dahlin.

I mean a weekend in South Florida when it's 5 degrees out doesn't sound so bad.

On paper you can find a girgensons anywhere. Statistically for sure.

Everything is about vibes and being efficient right now.

He isnt a guy you need to worry about as a coach.
You know exactly what your getting game in and game out. The ultimate pro.

Obviously your getting some suspect skating at times and a lack of finish.

Donnie loves him.

I went to Disney On Ice in Rochester with my nieces a few years back and one of the 7 dwarfs flew into the boards similarly. Good times.

Golisano loved Afinogenov and Terry loves him some Girgensons.

I have made peace with the fact that Gus will be here until he retires
