Jesus christ. 6 games in hand on Florida for the final wild card spot. What the hell?! SIX?!

Anyway, that aside, with 4 points out what is the general idea of the fanbase for the deadline? Make some trades to go for it? Just shore up for next year and run with what you got. Sell off UFAs and pick up assets?

Oh god don’t ask. You’re going to create the storm. There is a very stark difference in what people want to do.

So thanks for saying this. I have been saying it for a bit that Arizona may very well be overplaying their hand. I think if they don't move him this deadline that the value Chychrun brings with his contract becomes less because they used it up.

Rumour about Boston was like Debrusk or Swayman, 2023 first, 2024 2nd, Some top prospect I can't remember the name. It was a big ask from Arizona.
- Aaron_85

Based on how the Coyotes Gm is operating. I would guess that Chychrun gets moved at the draft. It’s kind of like the Sabres and ROR a couple years ago

The trade was basically done at the deadline and completed at the draft.

I hope I am wrong

We got Toronto, Tampa, Florida, Washington, Boston, Columbus for the next 6.

If we win tonight that leaves beating Columbus and hopefully a Ovenchkinless Capitals team as wins and the rest will be a bonus.

We could also easily go 1-5

NHL roster rules are a pain. You'd like guys to be able to win spots, but it's not like you're going to waive Mitts if Savoie outplays him.

If they block Savoie and don't give him 9 games and they basically decide to slide Kulich again next year before camp even starts, I'd be disappointed. I want to see some competition.
- Lunaion

The moves they make/don't make this summer will help define their thoughts on the two of them. They left space for JQ and JJP. Will they make space for Kulich and or Savoie?

I refuse to eat at the arena. And some arenas do have solid food


Bills and Sabres games are terrible examples of game day food.

One time I brought my dad to a game ca I’m the islanders back when we were tanking for McEichel. We tried to go to Anchir Bar and Gabriel’s Gate to get wings but they were too busy.

I got a Some shiddy roast beef on a salty-ass bun feom the concession that made me choke. I only ate it because I had skipped lunch and was starving. So salty and dry. I later learned this was some sort of Buffalo tradition of eating these sandwiches. Four thumbs down.

Why would anyone eat that when they could get a chicken finger sub??

It was uncle Nathan G who posted that.

Must beat the Panthers and Washington, key games in the race for the playoffs.

Add a top-4 dman. They don't really have any UFAs to sell.

Girgensons will be here until the end of time and Okposo is the captain so he's not leaving
- Hank Balling

You know, if the price is right, I can see that being a smooth move for Buffalo. Getting a top 4 guy with term that may have fallen out of favour with a current team. I don't know if Sanheim is any good in Philly but something like that as an example.

Blizzard messed up their schedule a bit.

Yeah makes sense but still odd to see.

My bad

- TheSabresTaco

With 4 UFAs this year

Lets say Johnson signs and makes the team next year

That leaves 3 spots open up for grabs.

Entertaining the theory that Kulich and or Savoie makes it that leaves 1 spots open.

Girgs and Okposo coming off the books along with Anderson and Vinny

Its very unlikely Kulich or Savioe will see the NHL.

I could also see Okposo and Girgs getting resigned

Thats also if we don't add anyone at the deadline for prospect/picks.

I'd just like the talk to die down about this guy. It's been a year + now! Just trade the guy!

Keep Jost and you lose Anderson, Girgensons, Okposo.

The org likes those guys because of what they give on and off the ice. Girgensons probably comes back. Kyle, 30/70 he does. But I don't think you're bringing in one of those prospects to be on a checking line. You're probably shopping for an Okposo replacement. UPL and Comrie will be in net in 23-4 without a trade there. The Ass man is probably gone with Bjork. Ruotsalainen still exists. Without trades, there's no room for new bodies. Ya know, unless you want to play bench carousel again.

Look, all you guys need to do is offer Justin Holl and this can all be over.

I also dont see Savoie or Kulich been the extra bodies in the press box that leaves Kulich in the AHL and Savoie in the WHL.

I know people want to see prospects on the big club but it isn't gonna happen

Man so many leaf fans in the blog would leave him behind in Buffalo if they could. Don't even have to give anything. Just take him.

Is Kerfoot and Holl the new Kadri and Gardiner

Oh wow. I had no idea he’s been on the block for over a year. Jeeze that is bad.

Adams didn’t even do that with Eichel

I don't think so either. Especially the way this org runs. If they do free up a forward spot this summer, you'll get an idea of what they're thinking.

- TheSabresTaco

YES!

Must beat the Panthers and Washington, key games in the race for the playoffs.
- Symba007

I disagree.

The most important thing for the Sabres is to beat Tampa Bay.

I'd even rest a few guys tonight so they are fresh against Tampa.

Careful, Aaron:

Criticizing Holl can get you banned in the Leafs thread.
