FWIW….likely not much haha a rumor on X has Byram for Parayko, Bolduc, 3rd

At 19. Expecting one to be significanlty closer to his ceiling for that stat than the other.

Wow, they can only put together 1 more F line using F's than they could using G's. Wonder if any of the G's skate out for kicks. (No, not really, but it would be fun to see.)

But... what's the condition? Does it become a first if the Leafs make the playoffs (the Sabres wouldn't be able to do something like that)?

I actually think the issue with hockey and uppers is partially the schedule. These guys basically live in hotels for 6 months. I'm willing to get that if hockey halved their games (not saying in for it) there would be waaaaay less coke. I don't think the prevalence in the league is so much money related.

Just imagine if the Sabres Peterka trade is Peterka and a 3rd for Maccelli, Kesselring, and Doan. How much better do ppl feel today getting a guy 1yr removed from 55pts and 38a.

He's an interesting buy low candidate. 🤔 KA wouldn't know what that was. He's looking through last year's almost waiver wire for his top 6 upgrade.

Get your torches and get your pitchforks, we going to Keybank center.

I’ve long felt what will save the sabres is a specific type of ego. It’s literally the anti Kevyn Adams - who’s defining trait may be that he refused to ever claim the Drought we need an Ego, player, coach, executive, who wants to step in and fix it simply because they want the kudos of being the one to do it a real competitor. A man or woman who really wants a claim to fame

Macceli traded to Toronto, Marner replacement lol

It was kinda cool to get the signings before the actual clock started

He had the same rate for primary assists as JJP interestingly enough.

I see the same in Benson. The type of playmaking we are severely lacking (that blends into PP efficiency, too) that no amount of proficiency of passing on our top D pair can make up for. It’s always about depth. We don’t have enough playmaking. I don’t think we have close to enough

Not a thing anymore

When does the "Legal Tampering" period start?

No- not better.

btw, if someone, anyone, wants to come in and look at assists lost with the moves and make that argument, that could be something to think about.

I have some great news for you then

Adams perks up... then slumps back in his chair... mumbles "we don't have a 2nd in 2026 to trade for him"

You don’t think that our GM is aware of the contract range that the player will be seeking? Do you not have a basic understanding of the financial limitations the owner has placed on the GM? If you don’t believe that then what has been going on for the past number of years? If you believe that there is more than 1%chance of this player coming here when he has options then your world of reality is not the same as mine.

I think we produced enough offense last year, we however had awful gt and bad team defense so it didnt matter. because we don't

Ok we don’t need to replace 27 goals from JJ That’s not a sticking point for me

No, you've been tossing out "okay kevyn" type of comments for quite a bit. Didn't tell you to stop either, just said it was a weak counter argument.

The biggest thing I can say is “replacing what we had” is like….the furthest way from how I’d be approaching the roster. All I can do is maintain consistency of argument and I’ve been saying we are drastically in need of upgrades at all positions since the season ended. I think we really needed help up top before we dealt JJ

G/60 should be the ideal stat to use for Norris, except ... he's had one season at 66 games, and that was an anomaly. His typical high is mid-50s. 3,8,50,56,56,66. We must not assume he stays healthy enough to get to 25G. Benson is the playmaker that none of the others is. He's a high-danger generation machine -- and someday he's going to make Kulich (or Norris) rich. The problem with a shoot-only center like Norris or Kulich is that there's no subterfuge, no shot-pass back to the winger for a tap-in. The 2 primary assists stat on Norris is absurd. I mean -- someone would get a deflection on occasion, right? Goal goes in off a leg or a skate? That's a cool trivia stat, right there. Edit: Note, Norris already is rich.
