U keep moving the goalposts

ROR would fit under the Cap with Hall
And the organization is proving to fit Skinner & Hall,
so there’s no reason to think they couldn’t have fit O’Reilly & Hall

And I’m sure the Sabres would choose Skinner over the scrubs we’d need to do without for him to fit as well
But even if they couldn’t fit Skinner,
I’d bet A LOT of ppl would think that’s a good thing

- jdfitz77

Ok, sure most of those scrubs where already here, and what makes you think they could fit Hall, especially when Skinner would have been here already, it's one or the other, and whose to say they already didn't bring in another scrub to help ROR. This organization hasn't proven they can bring in component coaches let alone component players, they could have kept Kane, nobody can say what the cap situation would have been. Just going of a organization that hasn't gotten it right in over a decade.

In the scenario YOU proposed,
Skinner was gone bc he wouldn’t have got with O’Reilly still here,
and you asked who O’Reilly would have in the wing with him

So if Skinner was never here,
HALL FITS EASILY


Could we have still fit Skinner AND Hall?
Yes
But other guys would’ve had to have been moved around

This is all just hypothetical stuff you’re asking
I’m just doing the math & telling you what COULD have worked

More mentions of the ROR trade ? OK, why not. I read the "he wanted out" statements a couple pages back. It's pretty awesome that we have people here - in this very blog ! that are personal friends with Ryan O'Reilly and know this information for a fact - and are willing to blab about it here ! Oh, maybe I have that wrong. It's so excellent that people in here were the actual GM of the Sabres during that period of time, and are posting what they personally heard from ROR.

I guess if you say it enough times, you believe it's real. Kind of like "the election was stolen".

Face it. It was a stupid, unnecessary trade that didn't have to be made, and we're still paying for it.

Well I can tell you for a fact that Botts had 2 trade partners for way better returns then he got from St. Louis but was told No by Pegula because the other team was not willing to pay his 7mill bonus, he was butt heart by ROR and screwed himself even more in the process.

Again if nobody was brought in the last 3yrs then yes we could probably afford Hall, it would depend on what happened over the last 3yrs, apologize should have worded it better.

I would not be shocked to see the majority of the games streamed. You look at what they carry during football and basketball season, college and pro, and I have a hard time seeing where they're going to put the league.

There are already a bunch of games on ESPN+. Maybe the NHL will finally schedule games on Fridays again(in a normal year) and ESPN will be wide open.

Look at that!
A pass across the slot...side to side in the High Danger area to freeze the goalie.

In the dirty area.
