Mustache of God

I reckon it's gotta be based on NHL games played. There are a few guys on the roster who are older than Victor.

Yeah, I'm surprised a lot of our recent D picks aren't on the roster, are NCAA players not allowed? The only person I'd half expect to see from the 2nd list of players you mentioned would be Thompson since he was at the Prospect Camp earlier this summer. Guhle and Nylander are no longer with the org so it makes sense they're not playing. Curious that Ukko Pukko Lukko isn't on that roster. Hoping Borgen, Oloffsson, Asplund, Pekar, Jokeraju and Ruustolinain give us something positive to talk about...the rest of that roster feels like a wet fart.

Disappointed that Cozens won't play, but maybe long-term that's a good thing? He'll be able to quietly go back to Juniors and dominate and we won't hear people clamoring to force him into the lineup before he's ready? We are 1 week from having some actual hockey things to talk about. Almost through the off-season!

For the sake of speculation, say you wanted Puljujarvis on the team, what prospect/pick deal do you think would get it done? Borgen and a 5th? Pekar and a 2nd? straight swap for Tage Thompson (feel like this would be the least likely) For the record I don't want him / think Buffalo is even considering him. Seems to go against that whole "culture" thing they're been failing at building for the past decade. The prospects challenge is next week, which means we'll finally have something to talk about. This has been a dry off season.

I feel like these jerseys won't age well...over time that color scheme is just going to look more and more urine soaked, maybe it was an intentional choice to act as a metaphor for the state of the Sabres.

I don't love these but they're also not a complete embarrassment, so that's progress for the organization. Not that I ever buy any of these jerseys, so what the hell does my opinion matter? Looking forward to the royal blue.

lol @ ottowa

I hope Dahlin is on this list at the 1/2 point through the season.

So worst contracts 2, 3, 4 & 5 were all signed in the summer of 2016. If Gary Bettman told JBOT, "If you wish, you can trade Okposo for Lucic, Ladd, or Loui Eriksson", who would you want him to pick? My pick would be for Lucic, but only because I like chaos. His name will be on this list in 2 or 3 summers.

How many dollars do we have left to sign ullmark and McCabe after this signing?

Hahaha that's so good.

This doesn't kick in until he plays 9 games, right?

Sabres: 1. Hasek 2. Ray 3. Eichel Honorable mention to RJ. He brought so much life to those broadcasts. Non-Sabres: 1. Mario Lemiuex 2. Jaromir Jagr 3. Peter Forsbreg Hated Players: 1. Lucic 2. That flyers goalie who wore oversized shoulder pads? I don't remember his name but I hate his face 3. Ville Leino

Yes, but I'm not convinced it's been discussed enough elsewhere :)

Terry Pegula and his new tactic of guerilla-meddling.

It never seemed likely he had a shot, however, I think we'll see him get some call-ups this year. With Nylander out the consensus that Olofsson is ready for the show I'd imagine it's him and CJ Smith at the top of the call-up list. Remember that time we traded ROR and Sobotka and Berglund were supposed to add actual depth to team? It'll be great if those pieces both quit on the team a year out.

The Sabres can sign all their RFAs and be above the cap during the summer, correct? How much cap relief do you get if Sobtoka doesn't impress in training camp, gets waived, clears, and plays in Rochester?

I was so confused until the end when it said WHL.

I think it's a wee bit premature to declare a winner on this trade. Disappointed that Nylander never worked out but, whatever. This trade just screams more moves are coming since we have too many bodies on D. Keep it going J-Bot.

Wouldn't mind Boyle but we can't keep bringing in players without moving bodies out... interested to see what other moves bots has in the pipeline.

If you offer sheet WPG they're not going to match and then make a trade with you.

Wasn't that hit like a second after the whistle too?

Sounds like WPG should sign Laine before things get out of hand. Are they cap crunched?

I'd say there's like 2% chance any of these make it to arbitration. Interested to see what kind of term they're willing to give McCabe/what he wants. Zads only signed for 1 year so any term for Jake will command more than that. Still wonder if he's a piece of trade bait as well. Here's to the waiting game.
