I also like that we set the market not have it set for us. There are some young centers who are due as well. I think its right in line with where he should be

I like the deals tage and cozens got more than if we were paying kadri 7 mil for 7 years

See what Adams next move is. Lot of smoke around Boeser, like him but he’s not the best skater and hopefully that wrist is healed.

I guess I just don't understand the added value. Like ok you want to bump one of those kids down, ok, but at least get someone who makes you actually better.

2014 draft class

I stopped at 2015 to avoid that for the better of the board if boss caught it


24 mil in cap for next year?


lets think higher than girgens, okposo, bryson and lyubushkin to round out the roster in the fall

They really like Meier but the cost of trading for him and signing him are making them think twice.

Is Josh Norris better? That's the comp that could have caused problems.
BINGO!

Them and everyone else. The asset cost isn't terrible but getting him signed after that without being able to negotiate ahead of time is a bit scary.

Sharks are giving teams permission if they haven't already and Adams has a history with Mike G Some teams are not nervous to trade for him.

Acquiring a player like him who is on a deal that is expiring is tricky for the Sabres IMO.

They are signing their own right now to what at least looks like a more team friendly type deal.

Trading away assets to get someone and then having to pay that player more than what they just signed two of their core pieces to is when things can get tricky inside a locker room.

At what point do you take that risk and jeopardize the team chemistry in the locker room?

Or do you look to add players with term instead?

For the record I like the idea of Timo

Interesting. I know from CAR's perspective they like him a lot, but they're overly cautious and hesitant to give up Jarvis.

I really think if you guys were able to nab him you'd be a force. Buffalo is one or two pieces away from being a true contender right now.

Sabres wanted Jarvis and Necas for Eichel.

He would look great on the wing with Cozens long term.

Getting him and a top 4 D, then the NHL is on notice. But there are still question marks in net

Yep. That was the ask from the Flames for Tkachuk too. Canes balked at including both but were okay with giving up Necas at the time.

This is where a guy like Meier would be huge. Tough as hell and takes it to the net.

Close, which is why it's a strong comp. I think Cozens is better and Norris got 8x7.95m.
