So if we just wanted to send him to Rochester, is there a cap penalty or something that applies. Didn’t mean waived for termination.

It’s just stories to make ourselves feel better. It’ll soon be put out that he as a drunk too, if history is any indication Bad apple, had to go adams is building a culure, here He feels bad for sabres fans Sustained

Your honor, the Prosecution presents as evidence another grievous example of Kevyn Adams being totally worthless as the general manager of a NHL franchise. If this statement from Friedman is true, he is inept beyond compare. No wonder the Sabres are in the position that they are. Armstrong should be arrested for child abuse. It's tragic and comical to everyone who isn't a fan of the Sabres. The auto dealers in town must love it when he goes shopping for a new car for the little lady.

I did read about some off the ice stuff. I don't know what's true but if it is I think he moved to the wrong city.

Meh Jim Kelly was a saint and he was a drunken fool too but I know winning the biggest perfume in sports.

He said the probably doesn’t bode well bit? Or was that you

Don't shoot the messenger! I'm just repeating what Rivet said.

I like that we always have to trash the players personally on the way out lmao Youngest team in hockey! But…act like you are old and act like you don’t care about winning

He's a 23 year old kid for cripes sakes. I mean what were you doing at that age?

What a metric for success lol imagine telling someone this when we missed by one point 2 years ago

Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere but Craig Rivet was on After the Whistle saying "JJ Peterka was more concerned about serving drinks being a bar at 4 o'clock in the morning". Said off the ice he was making poor decisions. Probably doesn't bode well on this team with most of the core either being familymen (Tage, Tuch, Power) or just hyper focused on hockey (Dahlin).

Okay, so it was Rossi, Kyrou, or a mystery team with two firsts and two "players." Then one NHL exec said he thought it was a fair trade. So which part is making you upset?

Don’t understand the bitching when you look at that terrible terrible contract Peterka signed we just offloaded Mittelstadt, cozens; and now Peterka either a year in or just before the stupid contracts set in

All feels pointless without @PASabreFan’s take

If, IF, Kesselring is an above average defenseman, and Doan gives you mid teens in goals without being a total defensive sieve....then I'm fine with this trade. My slight doubts lie with Kesserling though, I just don't know how good he is. The automatic assumption is he will be paired with Power. But hasn't everyone said they need a stable vet d-man to pair with Power...that is what Power needs? Well Kesserling has less experience than Power. He's played only 2 full seasons..a total of 156 games, and he has less than half the total time on ice that Power has. Maybe he's good, but doesn't exactly have the "this guy has seen it all" on the ice type of experience.

Unfortunately the Sabres did this bass ackward. Kulikov, Montour, Labushkin all gone. They relied on Power to be better, he hasn't yet. They should have had a better plan.

Petersson? I really like him (or should I say liked). I pushed for him as a top 10 player in the league 2 years ago, but its hard to not see that SOMETHING has happened to him. I don't know what it is, some say it was him signing the contract. Someone on a Vancouver board says he got hurt during a late February game last year vs Minnesota. I'm not sure. But he's been a different player than early in his career and its been like that for a while now. Since last Feb of 2024 in that game vs the wild (1.5 seasons ago), including the playoffs, he has played 102 games, has 21g and 46a. Thats a 16g, 37 assist, 53 point pace per 82, and that is over a full season and a half plus a playoff run, not a short term sample size. For $11.7 million per year, long term, with a no movement clause? To acquire him, it would probably be a massive mistake given his contract, unless he miraculously finds his game, or heals a big time injury here. For that money, I need a center to be giving me either 40 goals, 100 points, (maybe both?) over a full season, and for the last...going on almost 2 seasons, hes doing teens in goals and barely 50 points.

Kyrou was on the table; not sure what we had to add though 2 1sts and 2 roster players; likely bad ones Rossi + a piece

I agree but we had to make changes imo. I hate losing JJP but it definitely feels he wanted it out or Adams didn't want to point up the money for him. Either way I like the compensation of players vs picks that might have been all we got if somebody signed him up an offer sheet.

My recollection is that the story was Ehlers was willing to accept a trade to Buffalo but declined to extend. He wants to go to UFA and see what he can get.

Every player we add looks like this now

We only traded Riley Boychuk for Tallinder

And even if a guy rejects a trade, his opinion can very easily change if that one team is suddenly offering a lot more than anyone else. I’m not trying to suggest anything about Ehlers when I say it, it’s just meant to be more generic of a statement.

One of the best and greatest values is that when you have a player drafted first overall they provide such a value to their pair you can expend assets elsewhere. What we did however is trade our best left winger and most valuable trade asset to supplement that pick’s pair
