He'd rather keep Samuelsson than pay Byram makes no sense.

Jonathan Drouin Michael Pezzeta Jake Allen My

Ehlers To be honest with such barren UFA class, we will probably need to overpay. Besides trades I don't see many good UFA coming here.

We don't have to sign him, he's on our team now.

Call your shot. I’ll say Brian Rust, Brenden Smith and long shot: Byfeld in a Byram deal.

Carla was the prom queen

To answer the op question... no we're not better by any perceptible metric. I think there's a chance our overall game is better in terms of grit and character but no idea how that translates to wins. This team was bad last year and Kesselring and Doan and Norris might add a couple of wins but that just makes us... barely less bad. If Adams plan is just this, we're going to miss the playoffs again. At best we might be an 85pt team right now if we stay healthy and frankly who gives a *****? Either win or get out Kevyn.

D'oh!

Translation: He'll be ready come playoff time. One last run under the old rules!

‘‘Twas a joke

Yeah there’s no way to poison pill it - people do that by making a qualifying offer the second year super high… He’s UFA after second year. Therefore it’s useless.

I don't think I've said it here but, if adams doesn't spend near the cap and let's Byram go and just has millions in unused money, he's a giant fraud and a con. Spend to make this team more competitive and if convincing players to come here is too hard for you, quit because you're incapable of doing your job. With Adams around, probably anything over 6 million.

What’s a poison pill for a team with $20 mill in cap space?

That’s how I feel. I’d even “throw in” one of Kevyn’s favorites and give them a 2nd along with Rosen. But if Helenius leaves this organization for a 33 year old, I will be done with the Sabres. Sharks look like they’ll be fun to watch.

Haven't they already used it and then some on Marner?

3 million

I get the feeling he gets a poison pill laced offer sheet.

Wonder what they will do with his cap space?

Well I disagree with that but we may never know. imo Dahlin, as good as he is, caves under a heavy forecheck and Byram is just too soft.

Get rid of Tarasenko just to bring Kane back lol hoping it’s like 5 million per year

Winners go home a f*@$ the prom queen

Yes I agree and it's just a 1-2 year stop gap for Levi to be developed properly. Personally I'd see if I could get Silovs away from Vancouver (assuming they are going Demko) and make Levi and Silovs compete and if they are both good later ditch UPL. I saw some Abbotsford Canucks and Silovs was really good. Adams would likely see this as blocking Levi. Just get a goalie.

Losers whine about doing their best!

One year deal

I’d be shocked if it’s not rust I’d take that all day lol
