I wrote that in another thread. Why wouldn’t he be happy to make a million to only play 30-40 games, with around 10 minutes per game.

So who is getting blocked in the retool thread? I hate when I miss stuff.

Consistent no, but as a back up I think adequate. overpaid in that role but so be it until Levi can take it from him. Depth is important too if we want to be serious about winning

Quite possible but he's a later and I want now. No more waiting and as such no prospect is untouchable for me.

I'm making that deal . imo you want to build a winning team you start with 3 pillars. A franchise goalie, a franchise D man and a top scoring forward. We have the D man 100% in Dahlin, Thompson isn't the best in the league but he can be viewed as a top level scoring forward, and the missing pillar is a star goalie. Oettinger can be that.

Utah is apparently interested in moving their #4 pick for a current top 6 forward. Sabres have options to explore here. Too many to list and although I do not want a subtraction if there was something that would work here that would also open up trading our pick in a Rossi deal or Dobson deal or etc etc . It does seem like there are teams ready to move players and picks around this year. Adams should have some options and opportunities.

Said from a player’s perspective, “Whose happy about the situation in Buffalo? “…” ”Jacob Bryson is happy.” I died inside with this team. Again.

Not like the Sabres are using it to win any games.

Now there is a deal I could get wrap my head around Crouse + Kesserling for Peterka, I dont know about the pick swap cause I think Kesserling would have more value then we think. I almost think we would need to add in a Kesserling + Crouse for Peterka deal, so I dont think we would get the benefit of moving up to 4th from 9 for that. If it was the other way around and we had 4 and they picked 9th, then id say that works for me

Anyone know the pre-sale code?

The problem with the look back of the players at that time is that the 2017-2018 season was such a train wreck that keeping everyone was almost out of the question. 62 points when not tanking lead to compounding errors. The end of that season was a mess. I don't think the Sabres could take the heat at the time. Now were so used to not meeting expectations that they can get away with not making big changes.

Gotta get more than futures for a player like JJP. Utah has a few pieces(Crouse or Kesselring)) plus a swap of 4 & 9 for JJP.

And it becomes an 80% league. The playoffs are the only games where you see 100% effort for extended periods.

Weird. I thought the season ended around Dec 1. Are there teams that play until June?

I'm trading him for Jason Robertson.

Certainly doesn’t. But let’s say the rumors have some merit and he won’t resign with us. Wouldn’t you want to take the best deal available for him? Or does every trade have to be a hockey trade?

It’s crazy. I remember 10+ years ago the Stanley cup finals started around the end of May

4th overall... let's call that player James Martone... is 1-2yrs way from nhl action and probably 4 years away from where Peterka currently sits. That doesn't help us win hockey games this season.

Nah, I'll worry about that later. Make the trade and if he won't sign you're moving an RFA in a year. Be bold now though and get this team winning.

If we can make it a bigger deal that includes Crouse and the 4OA for Peterka, Rosen, this years 2nd rounder, and probably something more, it would be very interesting.

Like what Murray and Terry Pegula did to Pat LaFontaine? That worked out well ...

Too many games, too many teams, not enough true star players to go around, and the season is way too long.

What is truly sad is reading the Fairburn article and finding out that Terry Pegula thought that the signing of the lazy and overrated Taylor Hall would make the Sabres Cup contenders. And Adams agreed. Two completely incompetent people are at the helm.

Way too many games. They could drop 20 games during the regular season . How often do we see a tired team. I get the fact they won't ( $$$$$ ).

I understand it would set the team back, but if he’s refusing to resign with us and we can get the 4th overall? There’s not many better options out there. I doubt Peterka alone could get that deal done anyways.
