Mustache of God

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.

https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/video/henri-jokiharju-making-impact-his-first-games-season 2nd link is blackhawk player/coach interviews about him at the beginning of the season with some NHL footage.

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.

If it's the Sabres, Jets and Habs in on Gardiner, I'm hoping he lands in Buffalo or MTL, that'd leave the Jets desperate for help on their blue-line and will make Risto more valuable in their eyes. If the Jets sign him, then them being a dance partner for Risto diminishes, imho.

When do we strip Eichel of the "C" and give it to Vesey?

That'd be great is JBOT can swing a deal. Skinner - Eichel - Ehlers Oloffson - Mittlestat - Reinhart Vesey - EROD - Sheary Wilson - Larsson - Okposo Girgensons, Thompson, and Sobtoka flit around somewhere in there...I don't know. Personally I don't think we can pry Ehlers from them but who knows.

Couldn't find a highlight reel from this past season but I like what I see here from him...it's been said up-thread but his 17 goals puts him behind all sabres not named Jack, Jeff or Sam last year...at the cost of a 3rd round pick and the knowledge that bringing him in means someone else has to be moved out makes me like this trade. I don't understand how people can be upset by him not signing here when we trade for his rights. It was a dumb move by Murray and he had zero obligation to this team. If I'm fresh out of college set to make millions of dollars you bet your ass I'm going somewhere like NYC over Buffalo if I have that choice. Hell, I made that choice (minus the millions of dollars part).
