Our 4th line next year will be Girgs (will resign for 1x 2mil and they will slap the C on his jersey) Krebs, Robinson.
Our 3rd line will be Greenway, one or 2 of the AHL kids or some useless bum we pick up
Top 2 lines will stay the same absent Mitts. We will trade mitts for a 1st and a 3rd
Defense will stay the same
They will lean on UPL and hope Levi is ready to back up

What did we do with Benson? Do we roll back the same coaching staff? (Probably)

So would people trade Diggs to the Falcons and swap 1st in 2024 8th for the 28th
- Buff36

Probably, but what are the Falcones sending back?

8th pick in the 1st, and they get Diggs and the 28th
Gonna get smacked in the face by a Dead Cap hit with Diggs one way or the other.

Tandem Riding all year round!

Interesting.
Initial reaction is I would want something else included…but I don’t have a good sense of Diggs value…he was a major disappointment down the stretch run.
I wouldn’t balk at them trading him away though.

He can break $10 M...If he wants to play elsewhere
Tkachuk gets 9.5, I think that would be the max here.
I don’t think he’ll get the same ($10M) as Barkov does, but idfk.
Zito also has to re-sign Forsling and Montour.
Rhino is happy here on a team that is a challenger, he’s killing it with these teammates. We’ll see how much “less” he’s willing to take to help keep a winning team together (lower taxes in play). Plus he gets to live in a warm winter. He recently got married and I imagine the Mrs likes living in their new house in South FL.
He could definitely get more money elsewhere, if cashing in is priority #1.

The Florida tax discount may push it a bit lower, but sounds like you're thinking it'll be in the 8s?

Yes the same coaching staff, for Benson...they are being revolutionary by assuming a sophomore slump, so they will put him in Rochester to develop so Savoie feels comfortable.

He has like a 27million dollar cap hit this year, it's a lot of money for a team to take on. Sucks cause we still will get hit with a huge dead cap hit.

Imagine if we had drafted Jefferson

Even Aiyuk, Pittman, or Higgins that went shortly after.

flip side, what if they drafted Laviska Shenault or KJ Hamler



side note they signed Hamler over the weekend

Go get Mike Evans! He wants another Championship

He's a Big ? Health Wise. But if he can stay Healthy it will be a hell of a move by Beane.

Would be great, but scuttlebutt is he's taking a small deal to go to KC.

Some residents here DON'T want to hear this

“Boss” Sullivan, circa Samson’s first season in FL

Wouldn't blame him

Hard to argue with their track record

- QuinnFan

Idk. Maybe 8.5, I’ll leave it all up to the Wizard.
He’s gotta keep Forsling and hopefully can get Montour re-signed, too.

Ekblad will need new deal next season.
Wouldn’t be totally shocked if Zito trades Ekblad this summer.

Ya I read something on that as well...I don't pay as close attention to the Bills as I do with the Sabres... Always root for them, but they broke me 2 years ago with 13 seconds.

If they're going to get hit hard with the dead cap, then maybe suck it up and just find a good WR, including the draft to run with Diggs
Diggs, New Guy as 1B, Shakir and Kincaid sounds pretty good.
And send Cook to WR camps throughout the offseason to learn how to catch consistently.

Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott have made it ABUNDANTLY clear that going after another top flight WR is TOP PRIORITY this off-season.

Get ready folks, the train is coming.

$8.5 sounds a bit too low...maybe $9.25?

That said, if Sam gets 50G's and signs for $8.5...then,
Mitts new contract s/b about $5.75

He basically quit on the team the last 7 weeks, I would move on.

Will the train go Wide Right or will go Through The Hands of the track ?

A fake punt to a dead guy is the way
