I don't think Levi is eligible for an offer sheet. Some qualifier about number of NHL games played.

Is Adams trying to tank? These decisions and trades are just horrible. I fully expect Byram to go for yet another fringe 4th liner/AHL player. Perhaps Dahlin can be traded for Bob Corkum and a 6th rounder. Corkum can really round out that bottom 6!

Same could be said if Lyon signs with us immediately. I imagine the gm’s talk “generalities” with the agents well before noon today. “Would your LW from Dallas entertain offers from Buffalo today at noon.” If not move on to suter in Vancouver, if so “great you might see an offer for 2 years 12 million from us at lunchtime. talking generalities without naming names

But he only likes this guys. Adams only adds guys he decides he likes or Terry likes. He can't deviate from his plan.

To add to this Rust plays RW which we don’t need as we have Tage and Tuch there. Should only be looking at centers or LWers. Granlund and suter are perfect fits: solid Character guys who put up nice point totals - these should be the targets

I wonder if Gavrikov signs with the Rangers almost immediately if the NHL goes after the Rangers for tampering. LOL who am I kidding.

Hopefully Jarmo did. Kevyn literally adds guys to the roster if he thinks they're a good person

Passing on a deal that no other sober GM would have even considered is thought to be good decision-making with this franchise by some. It’s apparent that the quality standard has been lowered. What I will be watching to see is what the return on Bryan will be if traded.

Don't worry, Adams has a plan...

ka is an idiot

Just more evidence Adams is awful.

Ahh so Kyrou isn’t coming here as he’d be here already. Still expecting Byram to be traded, probably for an underwhelming return if Adams stays to form

Rust’s NMC ends today, wondering if we see a Byram for Rust trade? Not my favorite idea: creates a hole on D and adds to the strong RW pool while not adding to C or LW where we need a talent infusion

He would be a good pickup. Kyrou’s NTC kicked in at midnight. Gavrikov is going to the Rangers supposedly Agree on the other two

The Sabres have a really good analytics department, they should try listening to them

Lyon

So far in this offseason the Sabres have cut payroll. We shall soon see if that cut payroll is applied to adding talent. If not, the Pegula business model will continue to strangle this fading franchise. What does this owner have to say? Nothing.

WGR is reporting it as more of a sure thing - Lyon is the guy FLA rode into the playoffs - couple of years ago. He’s a solid player who can push UPL, better than Reimer - maybe better than UPL tbh. Won’t cost much, expected contact 2 years 1.8m per year. Bunched with samsonov and Georgiev as the 2nd best goalie available behind Allen. He’s definitely my 2nd favorite behind Allen and Allen will cost between 2 and 3x, so should be a good value signing

Makes sense and pretty solid choice given the thin goalie market The journeyman is known as a good goaltending partner and a reliable No. 2. He moves around the crease well and has put together some strong NHL stretches, basically getting the Florida Panthers into the playoffs with a hot run at the end of 2022-23, when he briefly supplanted Sergei Bobrovsky. Lyon made 74 appearances for Detroit across the last two seasons. now, trade Byram for Kyrou, sign Gavrilov (unlikely), Lindgren or Orlov (I really like him, some do not) and that’s a really decent offseason

He most certainly is. If you want to question his health and availability that is one thing. But up to this point in his career Timmins seems much better to me.

Great for for us but too pricey I’m sure. Can’t have 3 d making 30million I wouldn’t think. Forces our hand on Byram too of course

I haven't seen/heard the segment, but apparently Friedman has us as the expected landing spot for Alex Lyon.

Trump destroys Obama's Iran deal and now is trying to make the same exact deal that was in place before. Trump was a very jealous man of Obama b.c people loved Obama. He would destroy things Obama did just b.c he wants to and now the American people are paying for it.

And none had an impact?
