I wonder if the priority was getting the best return possible We’ll never know

Yes you nailed it

He won't be in Rochester.

Stadium overruns are pricey, gotta save where you can. Don't wanna have to mortgage the yacht.

Kyrou-8.125 million Dobson-projected 10.25 million Rossi-projected 7.6 million Doan and Kesselring-combined 2.3 million Makes sense

I can see him on line 3: LW Benson C McLeod RW Doan

This is a bit stupid to be honest….clearly they don’t look at team needs at all! okay a team offered two first round picks, great, so we get pick 18 and 30 and 2 low level guys, doesn’t help us at all kyrou is older Peterka Dobson is older Byram that wants 10 million per year those don’t make sense! And for those that say take the picks and use them for additional assets, there has been very few first rounders moved for talent in the last few years, it just doesn’t happen much, so there is zero guarantee you can do that take the forsure thing that helps you now and gives you flexibility in cap space that now you can aquire a top 6 winger via trade or free agency

I agree. I just wonder what exactly that ask was. We'll probably never know.

Any word on how much upper body strength he's developed / working towards considering lower body has been pretty much on hold? He needs to get comfortable with his shot. If he can do that, maybe he'll start to live up to expectations. (That and have somebody, clearly not a Sabre coach, but somebody, teach him that he doesn't have to ALWAYS DROP THE PUCK BACK 70'+ EVERY SINGLE TIME HE CARRIES THE PUCK ON THE PP.)

Just caught that. I edited my response. Terrible play from Benson.

Missing #9 Benson who was the first man at the puck.

Having Tuch and Kyrou( who is better defensively) as top wingers, I would have added to get him

I was just going to ask something similar, but wasn't including next years. I suppose we would then move Tage back to center? If this is possible.

Right now, between Dahlin and Greenway.

Won't miss the famous 1/2 ass stick swipe in defense that he does.

Sillinger out of Columbus.

Heck of an oxymoron well done

Rochester

Sadly, what might be best for the LT is Adams actually effectuates more of an NHL team that still ends up underperforming FORCING ownership and management to come to what seems to be what should be a glaring realization: the coaching on this team is darn near the absolute worst in the league in at least 2 major areas: defensivie system and pp tactics. Absolutely don't want to watch another losing season. Soooooo truly tired of it. True best case might be them falling flat on their faces in October, a house cleaning happens, and the players are so bouyed by finally having a structure they can work in that they play at a 110+ point pace the rest of the year and sneak into the playoffs.

absolutely unreal if true.

Thompson should never play center again for the sabres.

Let's see there's Peterka, Cozens, Jokiharju, Benson and... unsure of the last guy on the ice for that... power? I think power.

I don’t want another small skilled forward. I want to build a team of bullies (on the ice). I want to be done with the guys who just look around when your top forward gets destroyed. Samuelsson should have been gone when he did nothing. Kesselring and Doan bring that toughness mentality so I expect almost every pickup that we get via trade or FA should have the same imo.

Kyrou would have been a nice get but I have to assume the Sabres would have been adding a LOT more than Peterka in that deal...
