It will be the 2025-2026 season and we will still here 'oh you just wait till Ukka Pekka-Lukkonen arrives, you just wait!!' and marginal starters will be brought in on the cheap.

Would love to see Rasmus Asplund score assisted by Rasmus Dahlin and Rasmus Ristolalinen

According to the NHL Stats page there are 4 Sabres who have yet to record a point this season:
Cody Eakin
Colin Miller
Jeff Skinner
Rasmus Dahlin
Two of these are not like the other.
Does anyone get off this list tonight? Who will be the last active skater to register a point?
Dahlin 1G 2A tonight. Book it.

You are correct sir. I for some reason thought we were playing in Washington. Edited topic 🙂
The way this franchise has played for over a decade, every game feels like a road game

UGH. Feel bad for Zegmus that is a tough one to watch

Im in!

Since Chicago views Kane, like Buffalo views Eichel or Dahlin ... Kane leaving Chicago won’t happen unless it’s an overpayment and if he even wants to waive his NMC.
Every 8-10 months for the past 10+ years this whole Kane to Buffalo topic in different forms rears it’s ugly and unlikely head. Then phases out after 2-3 weeks. Then like clockwork ... another thread pops up eventually. Yawn.
Reminds me a lot of when some Bills fans bring up 'Lets bring Chad Kelly to the Bills because he is Jim's nephew' once a year annually

Have to believe all the plans (schedule, divisions, etc) are in place to start the season when the league and NHLPA plans to, its all about the CBA negotiations etc and once and if that is resolved, the league and players will be notified right away and they can go forward with the season.
If I had to handicap this, I'd say it is 50/50 as of today.

I just can't watch these self-indulgent fests when they've done nothing to earn any sort of respect. Just seems like wrapping up sht in a pretty package.
Very fair point and there are times I definitely feel that too. I would rather see this then nothing at all.
Call me an optimist, but i just get a sense that Kevyn Adams has a good grip on the GM position

Say what we want to about the Sabres ad the futility they have shown on the ice over the last decade: The work they have been doing on socal media and these clips is great. Keep em coming

I'm really starting to winder if there will actually be a season, can anyone envision a scenario that that could actually happen?
-
This Sabres franchise hasn't sniffed the playoffs in almost a decade. And I see some fans want longer term deals. I love the 1 year deals. It is time for this franchise to prove something. 1 year contracts are great. Show us something first and if not, we can reboot and have a clean cap.

I'm not. I was speaking for Philadelphia specifically. I would bet most of those Asian kids meet the financial threshold I'm talking about. There is a large Asian contingent in figure skating as well and that's another wildly expensive sport.
Got you and I definitely got your original point. I'm glad to see the game branching out to other ethnics. To me its all about availability, affordability and if the game reaches to others either to play in person or on TV. The diversity aspect of things will naturally take a progression as that happens.

How can it be for everyone when everyone can't afford to play? There is one option for poor kids in the entire Philadelphia area to play hockey. One. Hockey players in this area are almost all suburban and white and there is a big streak of private school elitism in that mix as well.
Don't discredit Asians in some areas too. I went to the LA Kings practice facility which is close to LAX Airport twice and there were leagues there for kids and I was floored how many Asian kids are now playing hockey.

A Stanley Cup is was he's hoping to retire on. Playoffs are what we need him to do again.
Unless he can live to 200 I don't see this happening

I don’t agree at all with this.
Matt Murray - a Stanley Cup winner - just went for the 52 pick in this draft. Lias Anderson - a more disappointing prospect than Casey selected one pick before him in 2017 - went for the 60th.
In this market, a 2nd round pick gets you a goalie, or a tarnished former top10 pick.
The big detail they left out was this:
Matt Murray - a Stanley Cup winner -Who will count 6.25M AAV against a hard salary cap, just went for the 52 pick in this draft. Lias Anderson - a more disappointing prospect than Casey selected one pick before him in 2017 - went for the 60th, but costs virtually nothing against the salary cap
In this market, a 2nd round pick gets you a goalie, or a tarnished former top10 pick.
Bottom Line: the salary cap hit is dictating value almost as much as the actual player these days.

If the Sabres are able to move Ristolainen and Reinhart and get a player back like a Sean Monahan, no offenses to both those players, but I would personally drive them both to the airport to make this deal happen.

Botterill however must be pretty steamed.

I think Skinner is happy about this move, it takes a little pressure off of him and perhaps Skinner can get back to 30G 60 point form for the next several years.
Granted he will never live up to that 9M a year contract but at least if he produces like that the contract wont viewed as bad of an albatross as it truly is.
-
I would be very careful what to give Olofsson at this point: 4M for one season where he proved himself? Id slow that roll a bit

The Skinner signing made perfect sense at the time.
Yes but not for 9M 7.5M would be more reasonable IMO
