I warned you guys; Helenius for Rust, Byram for a pick and a lesser D. Those deals are still out there.

Millions? From Terry?

Don’t think he’s good enough for Rochester.

Vegas lost 2 good defencemen: Hague and Pietrangelo. Not sure where they are in terms of cap, but it’s tight. They are forward heavy at the moment and probably want to juggle things. The potential interest should be there. Not sure what they’d be willing to give up though.

Probably only got a contract because of his Junior Sabre roots. Hope he does well for himself in Jacksonville.

Don’t think the Sabres have a plan? Trade Peterka, promote Quinn to take his job, save $4M Promote Quinn, add Doan to take over his slot, save $2M Trade Clifton, acquire Timmons to take his slot, save $2M Trade Jokiharju, promote Johnson to take over his slot, save $2M Trade Lafferty, promote Kozak to take over his spot, save $1M Maybe Kevyn Adams is a little smarter than you give him credit for Now if he can only trade Byram in order to free up that spot for Kesselring and save another $6M? Mission accomplished!

I hope the Sabres do right by JBD when he comes back to town. The fans at least deserve that.

Damn, some of the best. I don’t know what to say.

He’s 6’4” 231 and has 77 PMs in 25 NHL games. This one’s for you @inkman

Well, there’s the boy who can chuck ‘em.

Who was reporting this on TSN? If it was a blowhard like O’Neill, then par for the course. But they’ve got some good people on there.

Weird that this one hasn’t been officially announced?

I’ve seen nothing about this in my readings about the deal. One would think it would have been a lead item in reporting as a huge win for the union. See, now that’s something a smart GM would do. We don’t have one of those, but maybe Jarmo is earning his money?

I missed the TSN discussion but Now Yerdon is saying the same thing. Byram has played 5 years pro. You need 7 to become a UFA. Puckpedia says he's eligible in 2027. https://puckpedia.com/player/bowen-byram Unless there’s some weird nuance I’m missing here, these guys didn’t do their homework

Byram is two years away from UFA status.

The Sabres have more than $20M in cap space and only Bo to sign. Only thing preventing them from matching an offer is themselves. If they’re trading him, they are getting at least a 1st, 2nd and 3rd back in relative value.

Agent just called Dreger and said “Can you put a little pressure on that putz Adams? Bo is getting restless.”

Damn, Gilbert and Perunovich go elsewhere. Fingers still crossed on Bastian.

Pretty good value seeing what similar but lesser RFAs got yesterday.

After a nightmare season the Canucks let EP’s trade protection kick in and re-sign their big names. They’re running it back!

Not that I expect them to even be considering dropping an offer sheet, but they have what it takes to go as high as $7M, which would be an overpay for Cuylle, but might be what it would take.

Lafferty, Reimer, Aube-Kubel, Gilbert, Peterka, Clifton, Jokiharju, and Cozens That’s 8 guys gone from last year’s team including 4 guys Adams brought in last summer.

Everybody’s got that one thing they do well. For the Sabres, it’s locking in Tweeners for their blueline.
