Right and if he doesn't, back to Seattle.

1) Sabres point total? 89 2) Will the Sabres makes the playoffs? Yes 3) Sabres leading goal scorer? Thompson 4) Sabres leader in total points? Edit: Dahlin (got ahead of myself) 5) Sabres MVP? Thompson 6) Sabres ROY? Ryan Johnson 7) Best off-season acquisition? Kesselring 8.) Worst off-season acquisition? Geertsen 9) Biggest surprise? (positive or negative) Colten Ellis 10) Breakout player? Zach Benson 11) Will any Sabres players or coaches finish as finalists (win?) for any major awards such as the Norris or Selke? Dahlin, Norris 12) Unsung hero? Zach Benson 13) Who will be the first Sabre traded away this season? Malenstyn 14) Will KA make any in-season acquisitions before the deadline? yes 15) Will the Sabres be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Buyers 16) Other bold prediction? {Such as KA gets fired mid-season ;)} we'll know before seasons end that KA is getting a new title and Kekalainen is taking over. 17) Any other thoughts?

Jack Eichel getting paid

Nikita Novikov Also the Bruins being good this year is highly questionable, not sure we want to emulate them right now

Georgiev cleared waivers

Then why wouldn't Ryan Johnson play with Power? He's shown to be better than Bryson is every preseason game.

I don't think Greenway is tough. Also if your team has to ice Geertsen because of Rempe, your team has giant problems.

Running Bryson with Power is peek favoritism. Wonder if they comes from Ruff, Wilford, Adams, or Pegula?

They'll drop about 7 spots once Georgiev clears waivers.

Seems be where this group landed. I have faith in Leone. Also Prospal, need more of him.

He had a really good interview with Biron and Duff yesterday too. Talk a lot about his opportunity and needing to play even better. Leaders lead.

Yes but it's still one less team that can bid him. It's one less team that can bid on Tuch. Also there's 8yrs versus 6. I don't disagree at all about the cap paradigm changing, Tuch is getting a big bag.

Blümel was put on waivers by Boston, Buffalo should have also claimed him. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/272376/matej-blumel

There's a flaw in your logic. As the pool of UFAs hitting the market shrinks, the cap space available on the market also shrinks. There's a unique offset this offseason. If Tuch signs with Buffalo b4 July 1, he can sign for 8yrs, however if he goes to UFA to sign elsewhere, he can only sign for 6.

If Kyle Connor signs for the alleged 12mil x 8 years that's going around, that puts a hard cap impo on what Tuch could ask. But we shall see. At this rate, 10 x 6yrs would be exceptional and 10x 7yrs livable.

Florida is better than Chicago

Then we'll lose a lot of games.

Reimer signed with the Leafs. Also we're good in Rochester.

Ruff said 2hrs ago they were waiving him

What if Colton Ellis is good? Like better than UPL and Lyon?

Teams will spend too the cap. McDavid deal doesn't change that.

What's funny is this team could have Bernard-Docker or Grezlyc for basically the same money but went with Jones and Bryson. Just amazing how much they mismanaged the easy parts.
