Kinda like my ESPN+ subscription.

Nice FO time. Will tune into this when I get back from seeing Wishbone Ash tonight. looking forward to seeing Mrtka and Helenius out of the prospects and (if it is actually a line) Tage, Zucker, Tuch.

Am interested to see who ends up with Helenius and Rosen (presuming those 2 will be together) and which D ends up paired with Timmons in Samuelsson's spot. First look at Tuch this year too and the revamped McLeod line. Almost intriguing enough to drive in to watch, but not quite. Streaming it is.

Considering they didn't even have a framework of a new deal moving forward and the current lease runs out in 4 days, probably about the best we could've hoped for at this time.

Should be a good revenge game if Detroit sends their expected B squad. Yay! Radio-only. But, aside, it's OK it's radio-only for me because today's the big day! I have a little pet project to make a comic book/graphic novel out of a Lego car race at a Lego version of Road America. Today is knee-killing principal photography day. How is this relevant for 'Space? The Buffalo Sabres Black sweater car won the pole position in qualifying. You can imagine how that will turn out.

What else do we have?

Keyword there being failed. But in reality, did the GM really go after any big-dollar free agents, or did the GM say that they went after them. Because those are two very different things. The more important point is that the team needed a veteran #1 goalie, a position easily filled throughout the past 6 seasons for just $5M. And they also needed an in-their-prime defensive top-4 defenseman who would push Samuelsson down the lineup and push Bryson out entirely. Even better if he were right-handed to pair with Power, but he could've been a lefty 5 seasons ago. That player type runs $4-5.5M as well. And they needed someone to replace Quinn while he was out and then while he was returned-but-still-recovering from serious injury. Adams didn't do anything of things and had plenty of cash to do so.

Helenius again. Thats an interesting trend. His 4th game. Might be 4 for Kozak too. 3rd for Dunne, Rosen, Mrtka and Geertsen.

This is yet another fine outcome for Adams. This was the off-season to get out from under that contract; but as usual, Adams is slow to act and too dense to decide. Now we're stuck with a sub par-injury prone player that has essentially turned his back on the team and tucked his tail when we needed him last season. Bravo, truly Turd

Shrader’s thought is what I was thinking too. Then again, I’ll have to stop saying he was faking it if he missed so many games to actual injury after he left Buffalo.

I'll be taking my 3 year old today for his first Sabres game. Guessing we'll last a period but that's what he preseason is for. Go Sabres.

This true if they know Barkov is not coming back for the playoffs If he is they may not have any free space or very little. I don't think they are going to do anything right away. It will take half the season to make a move when the picture becomes more clear.

I started it yesterday. Really F’N good.

Mrtka getting another look today. Good for him. He has not looked out of place. Future is bright. Let him go back to juniors and play huge minutes this season.

Can we just assume he is hurt and have folks let us know when he is back... cause he is pretty invisible in the ice despite being a large dude

With Tkachuk back they still have over 5milj in cap space. But their prospect pool is weak and they don't have a first rounder until 2028. That's what I find interesting. What can Zito do with nothing when Adams can do little with all assets he's got.

One can hope

I get a kick out of this thread. No matter what other options might have been, there would be people to complain about them. The swords song (at least the short clip that would be used for a goal song) is fine. I think it would be great to hear the arena singing along to that.

Kick the crisis can down the road.

Looks like most of the A Team with a few MightBe’s.

Yup! https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-training-camp-michael-kesselring-konsta-heleniusUp next The Sabres host the Red Wings at KeyBank Center on Saturday at 3 p.m. Tickets are available here. The game will be streamed live on Sabres.com.

I assume it's streaming but feel free to update if not

Decent roster for this one, I hope the Sabres fans get a good game to watch.

With Barkov and Tkachuk on LTIR he has cap space to go after some big fish. I don’t think Tkachuk is all year though.
