Guessing Jarmo told them they need to at least be open to the idea. If Adams wants this to go away he just has to sign Peterka, it's pretty easy.

Lol I was more being saucey. I liked him in his draft year. Will be curious if he ever makes the NHL or stalls out in the A

Somebody find this draft thread so I can be vindicated.

Watch this one:

A lot of pp assists and he's not physical. He also played with a guy who got 71g and sure, his setup helps but Lardis has a great shot. O'Brien needs to work on rounding out his defensive game. Idk, I just don't love the profile and think his assent is because of his last couple months. If he was nastier, I'd be interested but he's a 6'2" center with great passing and hands who isn't particularly adept at checking. If you want one of most creative puck distribution machines in the draft, he's your guy.

Take a half day at most. Nothing will happen until after noon.

He doesn't have a current contract. He's a restricted free agent, he's not under contract, we just retain the right to sign him. I suppose if he refuses to sign he gets offer sheets which we can match or he goes to arbitration where I think Buffalo can select a 2yr deal. But there's no current contract to ride out.

He has no contract.

Ruff benched Benson for taking a penalty while the rest of the team plays defense like trash. Ruff is a fake tough guy coach and he's unfair. As always and has been repeatedly said here, depends what we trade him for. If it's Robertson, sweet.

I think that's right? He's arbitration eligible, I know that. I'd sign him to a 4-5yr deal.

We should trade Samuelsson and keep Byram. That's where I fall after all this discussion.

I can't help but wonder if Peterka is about to hit a regression. His sh% isn't insanely high, was a bit above his avg last year but his shots were down. Hmm, he's a tricky case because even the eye test tells us there's some cause for concern.

you may think this post is about gt, it's not. The bottom axis shows xG against/faced. Buffalo, while not unique needs to be far better at being lower there. But also yes gt was awful and UPL was bad. What's also of note is that Reimer is kitty corner to UPL. I'd guess they played better team defense down the stretch but also Reimer let it fewer goals. So it's just confirmation they need to overhaul defense and gt.

You can always find a Rangers fan... also Buffalo desperately needs knew coaching.

Reason #54 why I don't trust Pronman... He ranks the best skills and one of them is "compete level". Carter Bear doesn't appear on the list, at all. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6372836/2025/06/13/2025-nhl-draft-prospects-skills-tools-traits/

Such as?

No it does not. St Louis won the Cup.

Bernard Docker makes Spence less relevant but I'd kick the tires.

2 years. I'm glad Krebs will block him from the NHL. He could be a 2nd line center someday with the right dev path.

We'll trade an old MSG hot dog, no bun, this subway card we found with no money on, and a 7th round pick in 2057 for Jack Eichel. Asking for anything else is unreasonable. - every f-ing nyr fan that summer and half the media

No he doesn't. He's a defensive liability. The 2024/25 Sabres wouldn't be better with Mittelstadt. Personally I think all the hang wringing over Mittelstadt is nonsense. He played 1 good stretch here and was otherwise worse than McLeod. We're in agreement.

Both teams didn't lose the Mitts Byram trade. That's illogical on its face.

Are you arguing we should have kept Savoie? Also, I'd argue McLeod did make the Sabres better. Trading Mitts wasn't a colossal error.

So he's not another undersized finesse player? Who knew? Who. Knew.

Fascism. I noticed all the conservatives who were doing victory laps here in February have vanished. Listen to what this woman was saying.
