For some reason I thought that happened early in free agency.
TSN shows him signed by the Leafs on July 1st

It's a mild shock that this isn't completely awful.

The @MapleLeafs have acquired defenceman Tyson Barrie, forward Alex Kerfoot and a 2020 sixth-round pick (COL) in exchange for Nazem Kadri, Calle Rosen and a 2020 third-round pick (TOR).

Who's going to trade for a 36 year old goalie with a $10M cap hit? (He'll be 31 by the time this season starts)
I remember the Red Wings trading for a 37 year old goalie who was making $8M, about 20 years ago... with inflation that would be around 11.5M now. If Bob stays healthy, who knows?

Would love to see JBotts bring in some younger vets to fill in the roster and let Nylander, Thompson start the year in Rochester. Let them continue to develop and be first call ups.
I am still up in the air on Skinner. I want him to sign but I don't want it longer than 7 years or for more than $8 AAV. We need more players not just a few.
Trade Scandella and 2019 6th rd Jets picked Sabres 2021 3rd rd pick(conditional- if he scores 30 goals in any of first two seasons it becomes a 2nd rd pick) to Jets for Ehlers and Lowry.
Trade Risto and Sobotka to Vancouver for Virtanen, Stetcher and 2019 2nd rd pick.
Use 2nd rd pick gained in Risto trade to offer sheet Kapanen from Toronto at 3 years and $4 million AAV. Overpaying but it ensures Toronto could not match. Kapanen would still be an RFA and the could sign a longer term contract after three years.
UFA's
Dzingel, Ferland, and Donskoi also should be in the $5 mil AAV and Buffalo should pursue at least one of them if we don't sign Skinner.
Tanev and Connolly are a couple of wingers that could probably be had for around $3 mil AAV.
On defense I would love to add a guy like McQuiad or Polak on a one year 2 Mil AAV. to add some physicality to the back end.
What I would like the line up to look like:
Skinner- Eichel- Kapanen
Ehlers- Mitts- Reinhart
Sheary- Lowry- Connolly(Tanev)
Wilson- ERod- Virtanen
Defense-
Dahlin- Montour
McCabe- Stetcher
Pilut- Bogo
Goalie-
Hutton
Ullmark
So, are we pretending Okposo doesn't exist, or pretending that $6 million will sit in the press box?

There isn't even a Svoboda in the league anymore, Rick.

Pominville, Zemgus, Risto for sure. Maybe Larsson. What other Sabres were here when Miller still was?
Yes to Larsson, and McCabe played a few games Miller's last season here.

@Randall Flagg This was a great read, full stop.

I agree with this. chz mentioned a violation of TOS. I have yet to see the TOS. Is there a link? Is it something you agree to when you sign up but isn't available to review afterwards? Does the TOS say not to discuss politics? How could we blame a new poster or infrequent poster for starting a politics thread right now? Maybe he or she hasn't been following the controversy. Yet that poster would probably be suspended, I'm guessing.
I tried to find it and couldn't. It appears the TOS should be on this page: http://forums.sabrespace.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=boardrules if it's set up the same way as 2BD, but the page is blank.

and Rene Rancourt..... there's just so much about Boston to hate......
Wow. You're not kidding.
Ouch.

Cam Talbot is a dumpster fire.
Exact words I was thinking.

The Sabres get the puck to the blue line... and out!

The NWHL handed out its first suspension when Molly Engstrom knocked out Buffalo's Meghan Duggan. They were both teammates on the 2010 Olympic team.
That's a solid left hand there.

Terrie had tickets to the game, but she couldn't go.
Because smoking.

In baseball, the different between being a .250 hitter and a .300 hitter is just 1 hit per week. It just seems very little to ask of our .250 hitters to hit .300 each and become a better team.
