The Sabres won't be able to afford a massive $7 million plus contract if they re-sign Skinner, at least not for a few years anyway.

I really don't know what Ottawa is doing here.

They're going to be bad, very very bad especially when they move Karlsson
- Stripes77

They’re going to lose Stone , Karlsson Matt Duchene And they don’t have a first round pick this year

That is brutal

Or we trade Scandella or Pommer to get plenty of room

It would be possible to do
And we’d have a pretty damn good team imo
- jdfitz77

Leaving a team with $300,000 in cap space leaves the team in a world of hurt if they have 2 injuries.

Not to mention Reinhart is going to be closer to $5 million.

So you moved McCabe and now you're going to move Scandella? Who is going to play in the top 4?

Again this doesn't work.

I hate you all.


Okay, not really. You're gonna love/hate Jeff.
- BINGO!

Bingo old boy, what you get Svech and suddenly think your team is the cat's meow and don't need the Skinman anymore? You Pu Pu'd at the idea of trading Risto for him when I asked would you and could you.

The Skinman Cometh! I love the archive shows the 3ER coining that months ago. Especially knowing how much that must irk posters on here. Like they always say, 3ER isn't always right, but aint ever been wrong.

Colorado is going to get a top 3 draft pick from them

Colorado is going to be really good, I am glad they're in the West

U trade Scandella INSTEAD of McCabe
OR
Trade Pommer

Again... it would be possible

I can’t believe Ottawa kept this year’s pick
I hope the AVs win the lotto with their pick
That would be great

It still doesn't change the fact that you're leaving the team high and dry with no room to make a call up

It doesn't work

You're also expecting to move players for random low end picks, but if you're trying to get a team to take a contract off your hand you're usually sending draft picks with that player as incentive to get a team to take on the salary.

Had they moved Karlsson before the draft they could have easily given Colorado this year's pick.

But surprisingly they screwed up and since he was still on the roster they had to put some last ditch effort to try to extend him.

They REALLY screwed it up

Especially the pick, and if Duchene leaves in UFA they gave up that pick for nothing, that team is an absolute mess.

Hurry. We're all anxiously waiting for you to prove your meaningless point. Not.

Like GMTM being sorely missed.......

Well Botts is gonna have to do that anyways right now bc we have so many extras,
so i guess we will see how it goes?

Revised
Kept McCabe, moved Pommer
Plenty of space

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I realllllly like the idea of Bogo with Dahlin. I think Bogo can have a real nice bounce back year with a player like Dahlin next to him.

Scans/Risto
Dahlin/Bogo

As time goes on.. they can switch and mesh for different lineups but I AM NOT about throwing Dahlin to the wolves on top pairing immediately.

Pilut and McCabe plus Guhle for the 3rd pairing... yesssssssssssssss

I’d LOVE to get Stone from them

Seattle is getting an expansion team

But it wouldn’t shock me if the Sens eventually move somewhere

The NHL should consider removing this jackass owner they have
He’s brutal
Everyone wants to leave
Tkachuk supposedly wants to stay in school instead of join that disaster
*i said when they drafted him that it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t sign & would become a UFA eventually

F the Sens

He's been wrong about GMTM being sorely missed. We prolly woulda had skinner at the draft for one of our firsts, Nylander, and Guhle instead of what we gave up. And if you think that's hyperbole, go look at his trade history....

KC still wants a team too, so they could potentially move there as well

This owner for the Sens is brutal

He cracks me up every time he does this. Easy to do turns into 4 pure salary dumps and underpaying Sam. Latest version trades Pomminville....good luck!

He'll just keep digging instead of admitting he was off on this one.

This rule needs to be changed in the next CBA.

Also made numerous comments about Botts being scared to make moves (or something like that)

GMTM... 😂😂😂😂😂
Good freaking riddance
He SUCKED
