I can’t consider this a tank because we aren’t “tanking” Tanking is the active kneecapping of your team to finish last and draft high. We did that in 2014 & 2015 where we found a bunch of scrubs to play and traded goalies who got hot. While we are trading the Big 3 away for futures; there is no indication of Adams wanting this team to suck. The Sabres doing bad and the Sabres being made to be bad are two entirely different things. The likely scenario is next year we play with a very young team with a handful of vets. Those young players aren’t just placeholders however; they are playing to gain experience and learn. Thats the main difference, if the young team does well, Adams isn’t going to shoot them in the leg to stop them.

Before he retires, I’d like him to record a “Sabres win the Stanley Cup!” For future use. No announcer’s voice deserves to be heard more over a Sabres Cup win then his.

My theory is that we’d of given Reinhart a long term contract last year but COViD hit and made the Pegulas demand austerity thus only a 1 year contract

My one thought on this is perhaps Reinhart refused to sign long-term with Florida, thus we received far less than we had hoped.

LGR who do you still have interest in?

This Ottawa pick was acquired in the ROR trade, dealt for Miller, then from VGK dealt to LA for Martinez and then swapped in the Kings trade up today.

Supposedly there is another player though

I'm guessing Adams wants to burn the little happiness we had from the Risto trade.

How much are they eating? 5mil? Otherwise give me Stralman. Bob, was horrid for the Panthers for the most part.

I always liked Reinhart's net front presence; I'll certainly miss it.

Hopefully not the goalie but I'd certainly take a less cap dump

Lundell and Knight are the only two of interest to me at least.

Hmm, my best guess would be something akin to Lundell, Stralman and something like Verhaegue for Reinhart and BOS's 2nd

Aside from Lundell or Knight, who else could we possibly look at?

Hmm, I'm seriously tempted by Raty but Pinelli might be a better pick.

Adams is telling Anaheim, alright; you were saying the 3OA but not Zegras..... well one of those now no longer exists.

It sounds like because they couldn't get Eklund, they drafted the guy who seems about 1 year behind him in development.

His average TOI/GP was 5:45

Thought this caveat was interesting. If he was playing so little, no wonder he had 1 point.

A bit of a reach but the kid certainly has a ton of potential.

Who shall we get for Risto?

Being the 1st to take a goalie would be kinda painful

Damn CBJ, I wanted Sillinger

My only question would be are the Flames interested in Reinhart? Fixed that for you

Now I'm worried about Reinhart/Eichel's trades. Say no to the NYR!
