He won't come here.

You said 16 months out, this doesn't affect just the big club. Prospects don't graduate other Prospects don't get there time.

Oh, you're talking AHL jobs? Log jam of young guys could push out the old guys and hurt them as a team. That feels almost inevitable. Probably start to see that this summer. Malone probably bolts. Gerbe seemed to allude to a Biro/Weissback trade.

If he doesn't go back to school. The fact that it's not a crazy hypothetical is wild.

He has four full years of play, I don't even know how he'd be eligible.

He's just being a d1ck about it. There's no other logical reason if he intends on playing for Buffalo.

yessir. 2.5 months or less!

(frank) that guy though, seriously.

Well yes, but it affects a bit more than just AHL jobs especially if you keep bringing the band back.

meh. I'm worried about how they handle Kulich and Savoie. Everyone else is at least 24-25 season's problem.

It is an interesting conversation though. Sabres will start to need cheap backfill in a few more years so, we may have to shed a couple vets in the coming years like Krebs or Mitts. The problem allows us to trade real players for needs.

(frank) off, rj

Imagine seeing your potential team in the conference finals and being like, nah, think I'll wait it out because I'm (frank)ing important.

guy sucks. hope he moves to the (frank)ing congo.

Considering our interest in several Carolina free agents, this is an interesting thread.

Gotta say the whole Dubas investigation thing is wild to me. He got fired less than a month ago and now the investigation starts up. He's connected with Chris Armstrong of Wasserman...who also represent AM. This could blow up methinks.

Penny pinchers that they are, it wouldnt shock me if the only noteworthy skater to hit UFA was Aho next summer.

The owner hates a nickel because it isn't a dime, and revels in challenging people to prove they merit pay or a pay increase.

Honestly, he looks good in that uni lol

I think Hopkins goes to NYJ, Cincy or KC.

Sleeper team Miami.

We are after that.

Exactly. He wants a ring. If Beane wants him, he's going to have to overpay.

Send them Kulich for Slavin. Ya know, so they don't have to pay him in two years.

As much as it pains me to think of parting with Kulich, I would take Slavin in a heartbeat.

no doubt about it. I'm trading any prospect we have, straight up. I'd probably do Savoie too. (Not both)

Throw in Pesce and I would think about both.

Drake Caggiula played for the Sabres last year. If you would have asked me 5 minutes ago when he played here, I would have said 2016. Some names just sound like tank names
