"Do the Sabres think Girgensons was worth $1.6 million in a purely defensive role last season and will they qualify him for that this off season?"

Nope.

Fourth line plugs that score 5 goals a year are a dime-a-dozen. I would rather role with a guy like Sean Malone or a scrub from another team at half Girg's salary.

Pick one. They're redundant. I'd probably go with Larsson, but Sobotka is under contract

or pick none.

Larsson and Girgs were by far their top 2 defenders, with no one resembling an internal replacement. It's a glaring need that will need to be filled. That said, I can't see JB walking into arbitration here.

If that's the case, then either -sons or -sson should have some perceived value in a package to get us someone to score more than 2 points a month. Heck, I'd be willing to bet there will be better FA options available at a similar or lower price point.

Will we sit idly by during the Greg McKegg sweepstakes? I sure hope not

I think they do have a little value, but their arbitration eligibility kills it. I don't think they are going to qualify either. They do need external replacements. If they extend one, it's probably Larsson.

I think Girgs has to be gone. Has to be. Even if for no other reason than "we're trting, we are doing something else".

or

"We lost with you, we can lose without you".

We're gonna need a bigger mountain. I think Moulson's face should be done by July 1 when his contract comes off the books. Work is starting on the DJ Bogo likeness

Erhoff comes off the books in 2028, plenty of time to get a head start.

If i may dust off this 'ol chestnut from the great ROR flamewar of 2018: "He's not part of the problem, but he's not part of the solution either."
