North Buffalo

Yeh though Samuelson looked good against him...

Miller no question Butcher is a bad play away from an opposing team break away all the time

Generally agree... been wondering since I have seen Bryson lug the puck up ice with speed if he wouldn't make a good third or 4th line center or winger. Guy is tough in the corners, has a decent shot and has the speed to play one of the those positions. Get a goaltender first and then do it.

Paul may score a bit more... but yeh those two imo are a wash

Oh agree... just wanted to put whole list there for your viewing pleasure and to give an idea of what other teams might go after.

Here is the big list by current salary https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/2022/ufa/

Fiala with year he is having is gonna cost Skinner money and term... not sure worth that

Interesting point... still don't want him... would rather have PK Subban or Kris Letang... not sure either would leave but who knows and both are UFAs, Klingberg is a UFA as well as Josh Manson. All I'd rather have than Myers.

Yup, but only this plus two more shifts at my part-time job. My wife had her fellow charge nurse retire and he schedule changed. I worked with my job so I am going to do basically the same schedule minus my monday double. I will have Saturday day off, I work Saturday morning starting at 11p Fri, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday day as well as Thursday day. Working doubles on Wednesdays and Fridays and Saturday morning. Gonna be nice to have basically a 4 day weekend. My Friday's will still suck.

I just read through this stuff and gotta think the Sabres are establishing a young core right now... Sure Power, Johnson and this year's top pick likely to be added, but I think and repeat think it'l be Tuch, Krebs, and Thompson, tbd Mitts if he ever gets over his injury bug... I could see Quinn and Peterka joining that crowd and forcharacter guys I do like me some Rasmus Asplund, and Jankowski. I hope that Girgenson sticks around and possibly Okposo, but could see either being moved along with Olofsson. TBD Biro On D I like the Fitzgerald-Samuelson pairing and think that could be a thing for a while. Obviously Dahlin and Power... the question for me is Jokiharju... I just don't see the toughness needed for a playoff run and would move him for the right return. I would rather see if one of Bryson, if he develops further, Johnson or a first rounder steps up... Gonna need 7 D anyway given injuries. Goalies... who the hell knows. Hopefully at least 1 of the young 3 do something... but gonna need to find a vet to split time and betting it isn't Anderson given his age.

Where?

Depends on cost but i could see it only if they would sign for 3-4 years... both guys getting up there... so depends on send bk

Yeh but its Tampa... meh The huge bar next to the Bell Centre to watch away games.

Interesting names out there including Rangers GT.... surprised TO put Dzingel on waivers who got claimed by Sharks... wish Buffalo claimed but no need right now...

Meh who cares... what about Krebs, Tuch and the draft pick...

I am finally letting go of my part-time job in 2 weeks, turning in my letter. My wife's schedule change prompted it... but it is going to give me a four day weekend because I am switching one of my shifts to one of the shifts I am giving up at my full-time job. So that gives me a double on Wednesdays, a double of Friday's and just a Friday overnite into Saturday morning. No more doubles on Mondays... Gonna have Saturday day, Sunday Monday and Tuesday's. Whooo Hooo! Now I need plans... so far just trips to our house in Western Massachusetts, but now I have some time... 7 shifts a weeks for the last 10 years and getting older... only 7 more years to retirement...

Look closer, looks like he touched it and it was close enough a ref is never gonna call interference.

Sabres had a few spurts but Columbus out hustled, out passed, out skated the Sabres for most of the game and holy crap did they pick the corners of the net... I can't believe they are that accurate on their shots regularly... but yeh tonight they were. Werenski's goal case in point.

Yeh but you get the gist... move along little doggie.

I am betting Anderson sticks around as a bkup, mentor and possible coach... Granato seems to like his demeanor... may not be a bad thing... I am not sure about strategy for next year... agree though on your analysis of this year... if they can somehow flip one of this year's first rounders for one next year in a deal... I could see that... itll depend though.

Didnt see a penalty, shoulder on shoulder as Bk touched the puck... just sayin

Yeh having trouble being a thumb jockey... must be old man disease.

Question is does it make sense for Sabres future and for UPL?. I dont have an answer, but the yeh the goalie situation is still a shiiteshow until one of the young guns step up.... Anderson is fine for short term spells... but Toko couldnt stop a cold... and with the way the Sabres want to play he is not serviceable,

Dhalin is playing with more spite lately... I liked his response.

Ah well worth a watch... better goaltending in first maybe goes the other way but great effort
