Unless you really valued Clifton and a second, don't worry about it. The Sabres will sign him. This is just drama.

2 othe Sabres message boards that I lurk on, are all critical of management & ownership. What is going on here is fair criticism…unless you are a superfan(no names mentioned).

Someone tell me how I’m supposed to feel about this?

Depends on the leverage the player is looking for

This just in ... The Jays are looking very legit right now - swept the Yankees in a 4 game series for the first time ever. The whole team is on fire - pitching and hitting. Film at 11 !!

Bo Byram did not file for arbitration but Timmons did

I am not a fan of him using the short form of Bohemian. Really, is nothing sacred ??!! 😎

But on this message board, never miss an opportunity to criticize managment.

Forgot that he signed with them. Thanks for the clarification. Someone needs to tell Adams though otherwise his master plan falls apart.

Cuz the Red Wings are just going to give us JBD back for free?

Y’all know this means really nothing - it’s a very common negotiating ploy used by many players and almost never gets to the arbitration hearing stage. Many Sabres have done this over the last few years and none have gone to the heating

I blame you for making me pee my pants. 😃 A silly GM working for a silly owner who has built a silly franchise where players elsewhere don’t want to come here and players already here want to escape from this clown show. So laughable and sad. You must have forgotten that he only plays checkers

Good read, thank for posting it.

Well, KA can decide not to accept the arbitration decision, decline to pay Timmons, and then bring back JBD. 4D chess.

Kev is such a genius.

lol. This is fantastic, especially when Kevyn dumped JBD to avoid this very thing!

Newly acquired RHD Connor Timmins has possibly filed for arbitration

He needs to get stronger in order to stand up in traffic. He looks to me like an easy 6’1 185 player to push around. KA is hoping on a big improvement from him and Quinn is capable, but he needs to toughen up. Maybe a guy like Doan on his line makes him grow a bit.

Did not realize this. Do we know if the Sabres face the same deadline to take Bo to arbitration? And does that also remove the threat of an offer sheet?

Today at 5 pm is an important deadline because players must file for arbitration by then. However, filing removes their ability to sign an offer sheet. All eligible players have three options: 1) Agree to an offer sheet before 5 pm today 2) Decline arbitration and wait for an offer sheet, which gives up leverage 3) File for arbitration and give up possibility of an offer sheet From AFP Analytics (not embedding for me)
