Palm Trees And Taxes

Im trying I figure I have been incredibly pessimistic many times over 35 years of rooting for this franchise, why not be optimistic, even for a few more days?

Holes are holes they need to all be filled. Also besides Calgary and perhaps Ottawa who both massively overpaid for their goalies, what teams have made big splashes thus far?

This is an excellent under the radar move for the Sabres

Call me optimistic but when Linus was healthy and playing well this team was close to the playoffs. I do not think it will take a miracle to fix the issues with this team to make a legit push for a playoff spot. It CAN be done. Get er done Adams!

We just all need to realize this is an absolutely fantasy for NHL writers all over the USA and Canada and until the Sabres start winning, they will absolutely crave this conversation

Lunacy!

Dallas and Vegas were in this years Final 4 too. It does not guarantee success I do agree there, but I do think it is a big help for these franchises and a determinant to say, Buffalo, Winnipeg and other smaller markets in higher tax situations.

One of several examples. Teams in Texas, Florida, Nevada have major cap advantages over teams in higher tax areas..Can add up to 6-7M advantage, Think of what teams can do with that extra cap space.

Matt Murray 4 years 6.25M AAV to Ottawa: Anton Khudobin 3 years, 3.5M AAV back to Dallas. Tax advantages help. The evidence is overwhelming

Turns out the information was fake, damn twitter bots my bad on that everyone

Pagnotta 4th period, take it with a grain of salt EDIT; Turns out its fake, my apologies

Edmonton offensively is going to be a nightmare to play against.

Mike Hoffman to EDM

Markstrom to Calgary likely

Fast would be a GREAT move for Buffalo

The Wild have Stalock, move Dubynk, and then sign Tablot for 3 years? And they have an elite goalie prospect one of the best anywhere? Very strange goalie moves from Minnesota

Im on board for Stralman to Buffalo too

Rumor is Oilers are making big offer to Markstrom From Cap Friendly: Placing Tyler Johnson on waivers could also be a way for Tampa to get around his No Trade Clause. Meaning that Tampa could have a deal in place where a club has agreed to pick him up off waivers, and then that club makes a separate deal for 'future considerations' with Tampa.

Tyler Johnson might be a nice cost friendly move for the Sabres

Mike Hoffman to Buffalo

He really did. Now I must admit, Ive only watching highlights online and read a lot about these players but if Button is 80 percent right I think we will all be thrilled with this pick down the line.

So based on the overwhelming negativity here about this pick does anyone take joy in Craig Button comparing Jack Quinn to David Pastrnak?

I'm all aboard the Seth Jarvis train: Who's with me?

Hank to Buffalo?

Let me ask you all though: Let's say Pegula sets a budget and things will be rough for a couple of years. If so, this team probably can't truly compete next 2-3 years and Eichel and Dahlin will be wasted. What IF the Sabres blew it up completely, and say, got the top pick this year for the Rangers for Lafrienere involving Eichel? And Dahlin would get back a TON. Imagine how Adams can reshape their roster top to bottom and the system and truly put this franchise where it needs to be while the budget issues go away after 2 years or so. I cringe as I type this, but at this point, why not?
