He plays in St Louis. Ever been there? It's Buffalo's big brother.

You're being pretty naïve, thinking that you can just dangle $25K over whatever to Bernard-Docker's agent to get him to come back after you let him go to free agency. It doesn't work like that.

Lol. You think $25,000 is enough of a carrot? What are taxes in Michigan? 4.75%? They are 9.65% for that income level in New York. So $875K is more money in Detroit than $900K is in Buffalo.

But he has to accept that offer! His agent knew he was due for arbitration. It would have been agent malpractice to sign for that before QO's

Here's my dark horse, it's Zach Metsa.

The Sabres actually thought this out and did the correct thing. Gee.

If they can prevent the same number of goals JJ scored, it's a wash.

McLeod signed fairly quickly. Is there any reason to be concerned that Levi hasn't signed yet? Or are they working on something longer term for him?

Would you do it if Andersson won't resign here, making him a one season rental? And what would you offer? Byram one-for-one? Andersson + ? Once he leaves it'll come to you.

I like Zach Metsa's game. I hope he gets a look at camp.

Yay I kid. He's good for what he is. We need more.

So when does the Alex Lyon signing become official, or are we going to find out he really signed with the Bruins?

If you had Mason Geertsen and Mikey Eyssimont, you win!

"Mason Geertsen is a Canadian professional ice hockey player for the Henderson Silver Knights of the American Hockey League while under contract to the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League. He was selected in the fourth round, 93rd overall, by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft." Played a year in NJ too. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/player/mason-geertsen-8477419

Good question.

Let's review: 1) You rhetorically ask if the current goalie tandem is any better than any former tandems. You then blame Adams for the problem. 2) I point out that teams generally don't trade quality goalies because they are so valuable. 3) You deny saying what you said and you insult me, bringing up the fanbase when they were not part of the conversation. (Typical deflection move when you are losing an argument.) It's ironic how you hate every move Adams makes yet you can't name a better one. What goalie that was out there is demonstrably better? Demko? Stayed in Vancouver. Allen? Stayed in NJ. Since you are so certain of who is good and who isn't, it should be an easy question to answer. Who would you have signed? I'll wait.

Is this you? Are you not saying Lyon is no better than Reimer?

And apparently we are getting Jake Allen, who you said isn't good enough. Okay, who then?

Really? Who said that after the JJ trade?

Because teams don't trade good goalies. They trade ones with questions.

Alex Lyon was the Panthers goalie who beat Buffalo 2-1 two years ago late in the season when the Sabres were chasing Florida for the final playoff spot. I was at that game in Sunrise. Alex Tuch scored but his the goal overturned on an flimsy offside review.

Who do you think you can get for Byram in trade? I'm just curious because everyone talks about getting that magical top 6 player for him. Maybe, just maybe, no one at that level has been offered yet.
