inkman

I thought Laaksonen had a real shot but it seems like dude is just not good enough. Oh well. I bet GMKA signs a couple of college free agents that will compete for AHL spots.

Ugh. I haven’t seen a defenseman so poor in his own zone since David Cooper.

A decade of bumbling every PR thing they have ever done minus last Friday.

I’d be shocked if the Sabres coordinated that properly. Seems like exactly the thing they’d screw up.

I’m not sure how a 5’8” offensive forward is going to fill a 4th line role. It has happened. See Paul Byron but it is few and far between. Artuu has been passed by nearly every player available to be called up. He’s definitely contributing but he’s also been playing with Murray, Quinn, Peterka, Mersch, MacInnis and Jankowski. We saw him in Buffalo. A limited player who has probably reached his ceiling.

Whatever the amount, they can make it work. The NFL salary cap has been the butt of a lot of jokes this off-season. Teams keep adding and adding with no repercussions. I don’t care that he didn’t want to play on a crappy Bills team. He’s good, at least better than what they have unless they go CB in the first round.

According to capfriendly he’s making $70,000 in the AHL. I can see why he’d make the jump. He’s a nice little player but I’m not sure he was ever going to be anything more than a tweener.

Would have been nice if everyone waited until this season was over before making the announcement but I’m guessing the Euro leagues don’t care much about how these kind of things.

Does this mean he’s no longer an Amerk. The tweets are so ambiguous.

The poll function is your friend…or at least should be.

I appreciate that aspect of his game (certainly his best) but it’s as if someone made him play with a broom for a hockey stick. So he couldn’t shoot.

I don’t think I’ve seen a player come to a complete stop more than Rasmus Asplund.

Peyton “too many passes” Krebs. I like the kid but shooooot the puck.

My issue with warrow posting here is that he came in swinging regardless of circumstance. I suppose his experience here taught him that but it was frustrating because trying to communicate with him became impossible due to a few jerks.

Poking at the goalie up 5 will get you some hands

They can afford it for the next 4 years. When Dahlin and Tage’s next contract are due, that’ll be when the Sabres need to make some decisions. Three seasons from now, it’ll start being a concern. VO will be in the last of his 4 year deal, so if they need to move him, this years rookies should be firmly established where if it makes sense to do so, your cupboards are already stocked with replacements.

You’ll never hear another bad word from me about Cody Eakin. To be RJ’s personal escort on the ice, knowing the significance and importance of the moment, that’s all I need to know about that man’s character.

I honestly stopped keeping track at that point. I think I morphed you all into one poster. Yes, I’ve smoked a lot.

That Nashville coach was looking into my soul 😱

Correct. Teams are not playing the same amount of games. Playoff seeding is based strictly on points%.

April’s fools day is not funny.

Looks like John Jason is getting into the groove
