Honestly is the Sabres are being blackballed because we dared to hold onto Eichel until the zenith point to get more assets then the rest of league needs its head checked. What, are we in Buffalo only supposed to take loss and deal with it? In that case get proof of it Sabres and sue the league for improper business practices and false advertising.

We can offersheet Lundell up to 4.5mil and it only is a 2nd rounder as well 4.5x3 would run him to UFA

Hey if teams want to treat us badly and not in good faith; why should we treat them in good faith?

That's why I mentioned an offer sheet; you have 2 options to force Florida to the table.

Skinner was always a great guy I'll always wonder however if he truly cared about winning games and making the playoffs as a whole. I'll never doubt his compete and skill but it sometimes felt as if he never felt angry upon missing the playoffs or losing a game.

Hmm, if teams won't play nice with us. I wonder if Lundell would be worth a 1st and 3rd? We could easily Offsheet him at 5x6mil.

Mr. AI shows that he's actually a Vegas fan.

He’s a winger and even the best face off guys hit only 60%

Really the one caveat in all this is how skewed his starts were. Not a player alive would succeed analytically with a 10 - 90 split. Your team loses the draw and they take a shot, -1 Corsi even if you can’t do anything about it

Could of eaten Hayes contract and used this 2nd and the 2nd from the bribe to get Marino for free

They seem to have a solid understanding of drafting aside from goalies but their pro scouting is plain abysmal

2 2nds

I just don’t know anymore; the guy seems to be overpaid for and a PKer + hitter Then that Marino trade drops and I feel utterly deflated

My one question is, when does it become impossible to achieve the 1st? For instance, Ehlers with extension was supposed to be a prospect and a 1st Would you still do it for 3 top prospects without an extension. I worry that's what going on.

Based on the lack trades that went down league wide; I'm starting to guess that if we can't get a Top 6 forward for any particular reason legitimate or an excuse we will hold onto Skinner.

He made mention that teams weren't interested in picks/packages for players this year for some reason and pointed to the lack of such trades through the night as proof

Like the pick but don't like the lack of improvement to the present roster thus far.

You can’t promise that though, we aren’t handed a playoff spot for a trade. If I had literal assurance we make the playoffs than sure

Depends where we are in the standings and if we can get some protections

Not if it’s 14 + Savoie or Kulich

Montreal repping Canada lol

I don’t want to be stuck paying him 8x9mil because he has us by the balls and our only other option is to burn assets.

Nope, I’m not interested in trading 14 and a good prospect for what would either be a rental or player that has us over a hill like Skinner did

Time heals wounds

I don’t think we trade 14, I think we had a trade set up for Ehlers but he refused to extend this ending talks
