he has to cut salary


keep expectations low when free agency starts

- homiedclown


I’m not expecting any of the UFA adds that i see ppl mentioning here
And that might not be a bad thing anyways
Most UFAs get overpaid

What’s line2 look like then?
MoJo-Cozens-Kahun (I’d assume)

- jdfitz77

I think mojo gets traded if they go lean

casey-cozens-kahun


I am preparing for the worst

The Sabres aren't going to play VO after he signs for 3 million + on their third line and after Jack just had some rapport, symmetry with him on his line and had his best season points-wise and overall as a more complete player. You don't develop top 6 players and bump them to the bottom 6...in my humble opinion

I could see that
My hope would be they play MoJo at RW with Jack to boost his points, then move him at the deadline for as much as possible
But yeah...
if they wanna trim salary, MoJo seems like a guy who could be dealt before the season starts

Do u think they might look to move BOTH Montour & Risto for similar reasons

U could say almost the exact same thing about Skinner.... just moved to L2 instead of L3

How is he expected to carry his line?
He usually plays with Crosby, is he on line3 now?
I haven’t been watching tonight very closely

- jdfitz77


No he falls into the $6M complimentary player that scores 30+ goals with the Superstar from my post on the previous page.

I think best case is 2 of these 3 up front
Soderberg, Fast, C Smith


and a TJ Broadie on the back end



worst case


Oscar Fantenberg on the back end and Mattias Janmark up front

you can't do that though when in one breath the owner says build through the draft

and 12 months later says you better win now

then one year later, fire the gm, hire another gm and agree to build all three levels (echl, ahl, nhl)

then whack him when you tell him after a year you need to improve and win now, we got dahlin and change direction



you need a 3 and 5 year plan and stick to it


that can't happen with these owners

- homiedclown



That’s something else we can agree on 🤝

they like risto, always have

maybe at deadline they move him when we are eliminated for the 2021 playoffs


mojo has a partial NTC, 10 teams

I’d be shocked if we got any of those “best case” scenario players
They should all get offers from much better teams

Crazy thing (with as many mistakes as he made)
is that we’d have been a playoff team if Lehner didn’t go crazy here and GMTM could’ve brought in ANY useful defenseman
EVERY move he made with the defense was a failure
That killed us

Aho is a wizard. He’s a top 10 Center in the NHL in my eyes. Carolina struck gold with him and Got blessed by the lotto gods with Svechnikov whose going to be this decades Ovi.

Sure, but you don't get to have it both ways. You can't say he was incompetent(he was) and then say he'd have made the correct picks(he probably wouldn't have).

He might not be so movable then
I’d imagine most of those 10teams won’t have room for a 4.5mil guy to play on line3
