I'm curious about the first part. The second part needs to burn in fire until only ashes remain and then be cremated into fine air particles.

Not necessarily, the Pegulas aren’t broke but, like many other teams, are trying to reduce their financial losses.

I don't think you quite understand what I was trying to get to. PA quite literally rarely has anything to say that isn't some type of veiled insult or contempt for the organization. As Eleven pointed out; he never said a thing until a negative narrative was brought up. You can hate moves, ideas, people; I'm not saying you can't. I'm saying that not everything is evil or doomsday and without any "liked" events it drags down the credibility and usefulness of any further point you may bring up. PA seems to focus only on negative events, anger inducing events and anything surrounding the Pegulas that can be seen as negative. At this point there seems to be nothing he wouldn't twist into a negative light. PA comes across no longer as a fan as much as someone who desires the Pegula's to fail, Sabres be damned. Lastly you can't only criticize; without any positives you come across as either agenda-driven and/or the person is oblivious. The Sabres could win the Stanley Cup and by how PA behaves he would still want the Pegulas' effigies burned for their perceived errors. All of it has become grating.

To be honest if you are Sabres fan you need some serious counseling; as no one should despise an ownership to the degree you do. You don't just come off as unhappy or negative but rather full of vitriol against the Pegulas. Not to mention over time it seems to have become worse on your end as it went from general issues about their specific actions to that of something akin to a person who had their child enslaved by the Pegulas and is holding them for ransom. If you aren't a Sabres fan then we don't need your aggressively depressive thoughts on this board as a whole. At the end of the day the franchise is owned and ran by the Pegulas.... no matter how much you want them to take a long walk off a short pier they are likely here to stay for quite some time. So I would suggest either learning to deal with it or find a different team/hobby/or so on as we other forum goers can't do anything about it. It's honestly disappointing how you've gone from cynical with legit points to a negative Nancy who seems to almost desire only the worst outcomes to continue your self-recycled points of anger.

To be honest I'm still going after a 2C like Cirelli, Danault, Tierney, etc even with Staal. If you can get a 2C and force Staal down to 3C we'll have a very solid team offensively.

Can we trick them into thinking Dvorak is 26? Otherwise they don't have a ton of interesting assets.

I'd guess he's more hurt by how Minnesota unceremoniously dumped him more than disdain for coming to Buffalo. Very possible; the only other teams I could see him being willing to play for would be NYR and Carolina due to his brothers.

No interest in helping Toronto in any way. Especially if it gave them a better shot at Pieterangelo

I’d still go after Cirelli, Danault, or Tierney. If we can make Staal our 3C with Cozens as his RW we’d be in a great situation

According to Russo they intend for Johansson to be a C in Minnesota.

Staal also had 1g and 4 assists in the Wild's 4 game series in the Qualifiers.

Didn't I mention Staal back when we hired Adams as a idea due to their past together? Quite a good deal

A tiny bit depending on price and if there’s any retention.

You wound me 🙂

I’d first offer 8 for Cirelli

Neither deserve him and I hope the Leafs crash and burn this offseason.

https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1911956 My newest version of the team. Cap Hit is around 75mil with Salary at about 73mil give or take

Danault would be my primary target if Cirelli is out of the question.

I actually would have to agree; while I'd imagine the Pegulas are trying to lessen their losses I don't expect Terry to turn down the opportunity to make the team better. If anything Pegula could have very well told Adams to go after big fish but not spend recklessly. Botts was so damn stupid its not even funny. I'd love to understand how Thompson, Sobotka, Berglund and a 2019 1st equated to or came close to (2018) 3rd Overall, Danault and Poehling in his mind. Montreal's 2nd Danault and Poehling should of been countered with either Danault, Poehling and a lottery safe 1st in 2019 and their 3rd in 2018 Ugh just ugh

https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1911552 Made some moves and figured out a way to make a pretty nice line up at under a 75mil cap hit which happens to include the cap penalty.

Not a wise trade as it not only makes our opponent stronger and us weaker even if I like Danault. If you trade Reinhart you need to send him out west and then use other asset types to acquire Danault from Montreal. Not to mention Danault has only one year on his deal and we cant afford to trade Reinhart for him and then lose him due to ridiculous cap stuff.

You should know by now that nothing ever works as we hope. We just need to get lucky ....

I'd say probably to some degree. Once the Sabres were officially eliminated the Pegulas saw the fact they were going to be going about 9 month without much revenue so they decided to cut as much salary as they could.

The good news is that pretty much the entire league is in a similar boat so we won't be alone or in a case like Florida or Arizona who hemorrhage salary all the time.

Begs to question what the hell is going to happen around the league. How in god's name do they plan to fix our team....
