This makes more sense now. They learned their lesson last year when they literally had to sign guys off the street, so they load up on experience and character to fill their depth.
I really think they still want someone like Giorgiev or Kahkonen to come in and have the opportunity to run with the job.

My point is you have not seen him play on a regular basis(nor have I), so why not reserve the criticism until he plays as a Sabre?
I like the potential of the signing based on what I've read - but he was literally terrible with Florida. Not sure why that can't be said now.

Terrible from a stats perspective, or terrible I’ve watched every game he has played in?
0 points in 9 games. Not the best sample but it literally couldn't be worse.
Here's a good CHI perspective; https://www.secondcityhockey.com/2021/5/26/22448019/vinnie-hinostroza-chicago-blackhawks-unrestricted-free-agent-2021-nhl-free-agency-resign
Sounds streaky. Low risk signing for depth. Curious what the contract may be.

What do we know about this guy?
One solid year in the desert. Terrible with Florida but was actually decent when Chicago got him back in a trade.

Vinnie Hinostroza to Buffalo.

I think Vanecek is their #2 and Driedger is available.
Well, when you are the ugliest dude at the bar sometimes that is the only winning strategy.
Driedger literally just signed a deal with Seattle - including an MNTC. Signing Grueby is odd to me. We'll see what they do.

Jones and Holtby are trash.
Oh just wait until you see what hits this ice for us this fall then.

A lot of the goalies I liked are signing elsewhere;
Jones to PHI
Holtby to DAL
Mrazek to TOR -

How many years until he can play for the Sabres?
Pick one:
One meaning one
one meaning two
two meaning two
two meaning three
three meaning three
three meaning four
Be patient. There's no need to be Russian him too fast.

Vatrano is a free agent makes no sense
UFA next summer. $2.5M cap hit this upcoming season.

Indeed. It’s not Knight or Lundell. It wouldn’t have been them even if it were one-for-one.
I’m afraid that third piece is going to be garbage like Accari or another vet throw in.
Truth.
We're going to get someone KA says "plays the game the Sabre way."
I'm disappointed - but with Reinhart's RFA status maybe we should have been prepared for this. Look at the return for Buchnevich. He's the same age as SR, RFA status, and had a solid year on the stat sheet - and he fetched a middle 6 FWD and a 2nd.

Deferring a 1st rounder into the apparently amazing 2023 draft isn't the end of the world.
Agreed. More of a comment on how this trades very ROR-esque.

So at the moment we think we know it's Levi and a conditional first which probably means it's lottery protected and defers to 2023 if they make the lottery in 2022.
I'd bet that Sam is more likely to win the Conn Smythe than the pick goes into the lottery.

My guess it’s going to be Lundell, a 2nd this year, a 2nd next year which becomes a 1st if he re-signs or signs beyond a year, Bennett and a contract
The CBA now prevents draft picks tied to contract status.

My guess is Levi, Heponiemi, and a 2nd.
Not great.
Just now, Randall Flagg said:Where does this goalie stand relative to UPL and Portillo?
Multiple inches shorter.

Ugh I'm worried this is gonna suck
Me too. Twitter is circling around Levi and a high conditional future pick.
Very very meh. Would have thought there would be better destinations, prospects, goalie options, etc. This seems way off.

Looks like Devon Levi is part of the return.

I hope this return is great.
Hopeful for Lundell. Pipe dream for Knight. Likely to see Tippett. How many pieces though?

Power is on the Canadian roster - unless he's been traded to the US for Eichel?!

If they can convince Gary Thorne to give up Orioles baseball and come back to hockey I'd be overjoyed.
Thorney was let go by MASN a few weeks ago. Someone did an interview with him recently and he was interested in getting back into hockey.

So burn the first year of both ELCs for only half the playing time? Not so sure about that.
