Damn, Suter would’ve been a nice pickup for Sabres. Good move by Blues.

Suter announcement imminent and it’s not Canucks.

Well, they clearly don’t want to keep him so they let him walk. It’s not the end of the world.

I’ll say this, he articulated the moves and the freeing up cap space, very well. He explained what could have happened had they not made more room as some team would’ve hooped them with a Bo offer sheet. Now they have the space to take it in the chin if need be and quite possibly have another team set his next contract. If he’s not offer sheeted he can try to sign him longer term and is happy to keep him. It’s definitely showed some foresight which I’m not so sure he’s used in the past. His JBD explanation was excellent. Not a lot of teams got better yesterday. I wouldn’t say Buffalo worse. They definitely got harder to play against, on paper. Hopefully he can swing a few more moves to help this team get further along. Defensively we are better. That’s not a bad thing.

Sabres brass does t even have today on their to do list. They just sit back and laugh at the other teams having to work today.

He didn’t look thrilled to be chosen Buffalo. Maybe it’s his Eastern European heritage or maybe bummed the Kraken passed on him.

Getting a big rhd who likes to use his size and is a huge organizational need, and a two way player with good pedigree and likes to be a pain to play against, over a brooding (and if Peters and Rivet are right, a party animal) bad body language, one way player who had a fantastic end to the season. (7 of his last 11 goals came in losses) Some are too enamored with how many goals and assists JJ had. He’s good player but we got better imo by becoming harder to play against and a change in culture. More moves come and this will look even better.

Yep

Guys, I’m ok with this. 6’5” RD 215 lbs entering his prime. Plus Doan. This is ok with me on all fronts. This helps balance our team out, with more moves to come. JJ had a career year 5v5 and he won’t match that again.

Mogilny was in a odd predicament if my memory serves me. Wasn’t that the year that no matter what happened in the final 10-15 games the Sabres were too far behind to catch team ahead but also far ahead of the team behind them that they couldn’t be caught? (I just checked and they were 0-7 in April, and finished 16 behind Montreal and 28 ahead of Hartford) I wondered how that affected his/their play? Like did he/they let up and if so did it adversely affect his final tally? By looking at the way they limped in to the playoffs I’d say it most certainly had a negative effect. I do recall Selanne scored on final day and that later that day Almo had to score two to tie him. It’s always bugged me that TS tied him in goals. Standing alone would’ve been even more impactful.

My favourite player and in ‘99 my first born was named Alexander!

Thank goodness and about time. The HHOF is back to meaning something again. Every year he’s been left out the inductions have meant less and less. Two new members had to have swayed the vote finally. Iginla and Eddie O.

Vegas can’t help themselves? You say this like it’s a bad thing. Think what you like but Sabres could only dream to have ownership and a GM doing whatever it takes to be relevant year in year out with a chance to win. Marner to Vegas would be a huge move for them and he’s younger and better than Hertl. Great moves if they happen.

Seravalli is a complete hack. Why anyone listens to this clown is beyond me.

I’m with ya, but I’m not in charge. I actually believe EP, if he comes out flat again, could very well become one of the biggest busts of all time. I really think he is the type that is happy to play and the results don’t concern him.
