7+6=13

Why do you say that?

I dont think you can approach 40 mil on defense though. What am I missing? Dahlin 10, Power 7, Noah prob 6, Sam 4.285, Clifton 3.33 that's 30.6 and we have about 12 allocated over the remaining 5. The year after next , we'd have to pay 3 - say 2.5 average to have 8. So that's 38+ mil on defense.

I just don't see how we could do this. We'd be looking at being around 43-45 mil on defense. With Ollie that's 91 mil or so, so if you could deal him but them Mitts is up and that's not accounting for any tenders. I'm no cap expert but just doing some quick math.

I agree, this couldn't be done with Eichel. Of course he's an awesome talent but he needed to go somewhere he didn't have to lead - he just needed to play good. We needed him to do both and it's not him.

I get that, I'm saying I don't think we can afford that without giving up something on the roster. You can't pay Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson and a proven top 4. At some point you need someone like Clifton to be the 4 and you're not paying for it.

So you'd rather they had signed a proven, excellent top 4? What would you be willing not to have, to get that?

I prefer the messages DG is sending than your suggestion.

Interesting that when asked, what changed in Colorado from trying to build into a contender. He said, first we had to get guys in the locker room that wanted to be there and eliminate bitching, complaining and selfishness. Sounds very familiar.

Loving this. KA, IMO, is doing many good things.

No. We can already score. If im adding offensively it's someone with aggression, which Kane doesn't provide. Defense is where the focus should be.

Up yours Boston

Getting their money's worth in Montour

So great seeing people in the stands. Proud of you fellow Sabres fans.

We have ourselves a goalie my friends

Going to be heavy minutes for the top from here on

Get off the ice Kyle

Weak

Yes sir. You missed a bit being at the arena.

Agree and have to think there's really good coaching going on too for it to happen.

If only Dahlin could play defense

These refs are unbelievable

Haha Did you like that?

Dahlin is everything we thought he was and more

Up yours Canes

If you guys think Ray is bad, you should hear this idiot for the Canes
