2nd and 🤔.... where’s Pu when you need him...
- Gr8daygo

Cap space. We have none and the bruins want to clear space. Not take any on.

Who else is glad we gave that money to a winger?
- TheHank

He’s not Patrick Kane or Alex Ovechkin so I agree. Krejci isn’t the answer either though.

Figure it out. Pitter patter. He is exactly what we need at 2c for the next year or two. Move scandalous. LTIR Bogo... moves can be made. If you have a chance to make that deal you pull the trigger 10 times outta 10! Get it done Botts!

Bogo
Scandella
Wilson
Sobtka
Hunwick
Sheary

Pick a couple... you can find $7.25 pretty easy...

Picking up Krejci hurts the 2019-20 tank.

We aren’t tanking. But let’s be honest, look at the conference we are in. We are fringe playoffs at best. Cap space is more important 2021-2027 range when we are realistic cup contenders. I hope Skinner is still an elite goal scorer between the ages of 30-33 cause that’s when his goal scoring will actually matter.

Holy (frank) dude is every single post linked to Jeff Skinner’s contract somehow to you?

Well since he started posting “tank” after I said I would have rather have saved the cap space and let Skinner walk rather then commit long term essentially hurting this years roster I felt it applied.

Are the goalies on this team the very best JB can do?
And is that what he’ll say when the Sabres miss the playoffs by a dozen points? “The other teams were just too good to compete with.”

Well we are $1M over the cap as it is. Shelling out $10M for Bob is ridiculous. So yea I mean unless you wanted a recycled Mike Smith Or Cam Talbot I don’t really know what else we could have done. Ullmark was a rookie, I think he will be very much improved. Hutton should be better with the added competition and improved coaching/defense corps.

I agree with you though, this team will live and die with Hutton/Ullmark.

Not even as a joke!

Coming off his best season since GWB was president

I'd still take him. Move bogo and deactivate sobotka's parking pass. Just deny he ever had a contract
- jcragcrumple

The parking pass comment made me chuckle. Or just stop paying him. It will work itself out naturally.

Might as well. The other Eastern Conference teams are just too good. Just five more years of bottom five finishes and we can think about discussing a playoff possibility.

If Mitts can be the player we all think he can be we will be better sooner then later.

Is he locked into 2C this year?

5? I was thinking 20.

Botterill is going to literally waste Rasmus Dahlin’s entire career

- PrinceChill

Well season doesn’t start till October. If we move Risto I’d assume it would be for a 2C. However if we don’t make any moves I’d assume it would be Mittelstadt. If Erod is our best option for 2C then prepare to be looking at mock drafts by January.

I think Mitts-Reinhart and Vesey-Erod will be pairs

Mojo and Olofsson could fit on either realistically.

I could see a scenario where playing time is roughly equal, but the Mitts pair gets 60% o zone starts, and the Erod pair 40%

A 2a/2b scenario. Unless Mitts comes in and looks great, of course

Skinner-Eichel-Vesey/Sheary
Johansson-Mitts-Reinhart
Olofsson-Erod-Sheary/Vesey

Would be my guess at the top 9 if we played tomorrow.

Which line would Cole have been on, had they picked him?

And then Girgs/Larry is PK1 and Erod/Vesey or Olofsson is PK2 with Eichel occasionally sprinkled in

Happy recent 24th birthday flaccoville


I think the Sabres are going to be suprisingly good next season.

I'm going in without thoughts of drafting high again.

As soon as its bleak, then roll out the tank
