He still wants to win and I doubt a couple million will deter him. He isn't broke, he's cost cutting. Thus if Adams tells him he needs 75mil to make a great team then I doubt he's going to say no.

I honestly don't believe the whole low 70's thing. I believe they'd like to not spend 81.5 mil + but I don't think they will handcuff Adams

Give Reinhart and Cirelli 4.5 mil each this year and make it either mid or back loaded. Waalah, you are at about 72mil

Not necessarily depending on how you structure the contracts. That team is at about 75/76mil salary

How does this look https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/369354

Hmm, I got Fleury and NJ's 3rd for Hutton. Would that be adequate?

So what were the results good sir/mam?

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.
