For contrast

Well some teams do it

With maybe the exception of Appert, the rest of the coaching staff only has one year remaining on their contracts, didn’t want him to feel left out

Rakell has better all round metrics, Rust is a defensive black hole

Seattle just fired Bob Woods-hire him as a PP Specialist for one season

They will never reach Adams level of incompetence, but Drury and Verbeek are not good GMs

Pittsburgh has a lot of interest in Helenius and the Sabres supposedly have an interest in Rust and Rakell. The former has no more trade protection as of July 1st and the latter has a 8 team NTC. I could see a scenario where the Sabres make the pick at 9 for a forward and if they acquire another later first this year for Byram-taking a defender with that to replace anyone moved out from Rochester. Chad DeDomincis also mentioned on His Pod that Tuch is looking at an extension of 5-6 years in the 8-9 million range.

The return would most likely include defenseman in addition to a first. San Jose-Liljegren and 30th for Byram? Philly- 22 and Cam York? I have a feeling we will be underwhelmed by the return

The Sabres Rights to Him expired on June 1st

Dallas is firing Peter DeBoer

Marty suggested it would take a first and Kulich to get Robertson

Sounds like someone who would benefit from the NCAA next year

What are your thoughts on Carbonneau

He changed jobs and doesn’t do the physicals anymore.

Remember when the Sabres took Marcus Davidsson two picks before Jason Robertson.

It was made clear to the Sabres he would not sign a long term deal Necas was the Sabres consensus pick in the first round that year then Mitts started to drop-someone needs to write a book about the missteps of the Sabres Drought. It will surpass War and Peace in length

I couldn’t imagine doing another three years! All the power to you

He’s a RFA next summer-the cap is projected to increase to 104 in 2026-27 and 113.5 in 2027-28. Most likely DeBoer is gone first

Way too many. To make it worse I became a partial STH in 2017. Come to think of it I joined SabresSpace in October of 2011. Dammit the drought is all my fault!

It was a blur I maybe saw 10 out of 82 games a year if I was lucky. I was working a 27 hour shift in the NICU at Children’s Hospital when Drury scored against the Rangers. Another resident, who was a Leafs Fan told me about it 3 hours later
