We have a two page thread dedicated to a defenceman making 775k for 3 years who is going to probably play in Rochester next year. Our team blows.

It's awful. Power, awful contract. Cozens, awful contract. Samuelson, awful contract. UPL, mildly awful contract. Norris, awful contract to take on. Skinner buyout/original contract was awful. None of the things I mentioned above are considered hindsight opinions by many. Not a single contract I mentioned offered us high level impact. We suck.

Pretty sad that they are that close to the cap and they still suck big giant salty balls compared to the rest of the league. Our favorite team is a clown show.

Correct. KA handcuffed himself not being savvy enough to make a move. KA fd up. Plain and simple. The order of things matter....

Mjd....you're getting it!

KA is kind of silly

Not even sure id want him for 9+. Suter on the other hand...2 way 20 goal scoring centers are a beautiful thing

Don't forget....same asst coaches

So who is left that we care about? Ehlers, suter? Trade market or bust now? As is, this team is not ready going into offseason

His agent will think so. I'm not gonna say byram is not worth 7m on the open market...but he's not worth 7m on this team based on what we already have wrapped up financially on D.

That's a fine contract

Ok, I wasn't expecting a big move today. But I also wasn't expecting this. Whoomp whoomp is not what you want to see from a team w cap room and playoffless for 14 years

Too critical? They suck. That said, I always felt the coverage was one big giant bj for the team. How *****

I could live w this.....if it's under 5m.

I'm good with lyon signing. There wasn't anything out there to splash on - and the guy can give you 30 games. But not at 4-6m..... All that said, goaltending will be an issue again. Levi needs a year or two still...but ka would be wise to jump all over a veteran starting caliber goalie the next time a GM is looking to dump and rebuild.

I refuse to believe it's true. I know it probably is....but I have sanity to maintain

Yup ..a good, not great player just became the bell of the ball

Winners go home a f*@$ the prom queen

While I think he ultimately goes...keeping makes the team better overall. The fa market can address the forward need. I still believe GMS are trying to call kas bluff...I would

Lol....you don't have apologize to lgr...his first sentence would have sufficed. He's a fine poster...but he can be a blowhard sometimes

That would be a nice thought if ka actually wanted to give him that contract. He wants a forward....and it's obvious

My gut tells me the sabres feel like they have too much money locked up in D right now. Suspecting that is why the byram return rumors are light...GMS know ka is stuck

He seems like the perfect middle six forward...odd if Columbus moves him with the contract control they have

Makes sense. They are not keeping him based on the moves they made.

As of today; NO That said, they are moving in a direction I agree with, in terms of restructuring the roster build out with diverse skill sets. BUT - goalie is an issue still. Plus our top 6 needs another playmaker. Not ready to give Benson top 6 minutes....he's still developing. If they don't solve the two issues above...this is still a low 80s point team at best. Also....reshape the f'ing coaching staff. What are we doing here???
