I will be doing physicals all day tomorrow for the Combine

His Wife is From Buffalo, it was His Destiny to return

I fully expect Adams to look at every possible scenario to improve the Sabres. Adams could look at the season and feel the team has taken bigger strides than expected and feel adding a player of the age and caliber of PLD is worth it particularly at the Center Position. I imagine Adams and His Staff will ask the following questions Is Dubois an improvement at Center over Cozens, Mitts or Krebs? Is the cost of acquiring Dubois something The Sabres willing to pay? Does PLD fit in with the team we are building here? Would PLD be willing to sign a deal with a minimum term of five years with Buffalo? I really like how VO has improved over the season and has developed into a very good all around player. That being said I wouldn’t hesitate to move Him in a deal for a younger asset (Top 6 Center, RHD or Goalie)

Jim #2 is played by Brandon Nolan and Jim #3 is played by Jordan Nolan, Former Sabre, both are Ted Nolan’s Sons

Are you referring to the game against Tampa, where PLD was benched for the final two periods by Torts? The Game that came approximately seven days after Tortorella made Dubois Trade Request Public much to the Team and Players Camp Chagrin? Tortorella was the one who decided to put this into the public spotlight, but Hey it’s the best player on the team’s fault and not the coach who’s contract was not renewed less than five months later. Marek and Friedman were discussing Dubois’s Future with the Jets and the reason the Jets might be looking to move Dubois is He is hesitant to sign a long term deal and prefers a shorter term deal as Scheifele, Connor, Ehlers and Hellebuyck are signed for 4 Years or Less.

Trading 28th OA for Sam Bennett and adding two RFAs for a one year cap dump of Gudas and a 4th? Downgrading from Asplund and giving them their 2nd Round Pick for Roy and Hague. Would Dadonov would be willing to go to New Jersey? No thanks to these trades.

Evolving Hockey has Him at 4 years 4 Million AAV, He has been on a downward trend the past few seasons but He still is intriguing

Dubois is 152 days older than Casey and has been much more productive. He turns 24 in June putting Him on the same timeline as many of the the Sabres Core Players To get 7-8.5 Million His Deal probably would be 7 Years making Him a Sabre until He is 31. If the deal is Mitts, 16OA, Johnson and Portillo and the latter have told the Sabres they are not signing, the deal essentially becomes Mitts, 16OA in 2022 and 63OA in 2024 (Compensatory Pick if Johnson doesn’t sign) The downside to the trade is that Mitts is cost controlled for two more years than PLD, but will He reach PLD’s Level of Production? Also one of the reasons PLD gave for leaving Columbus was wanting to play for a team with more exposure. I doubt the Sabres, particularly with the Bills in the same city fit that criteria.

Can you back this up with evidence?

The Sabres should put Okposo on a similar pathway When He is ready to retire

When PK was moved off the Top Pairing, there was a noticeable improvement in His Metrics. Evolving Hockey has His Projected Deal at 3 years 3.8 Million, I would sign up for that.

Jeff Marek was speaking about Copp’s Next Contract on 32 Thoughts next year, the prevailing thought (Copp’s Agent) is that He has played well enough to earn a contract similar to Hyman (7 years 5.5 Million AAV) or Danault (6 years 5.5 Million AAV). Evolving Hockey has Copp at 4 years 5.8 AAV Burakovsky at 7 years 6.9 AAV Trocheck 4 years 5.9 AAV Kadri 7 years 8.5 AAV (Great Player but He’s already 31) I will admit if PLD goes on the trade block, I would be intrigued depending on cost of course.

This would be the next logical step. Have Her interview players in between periods and join the pre and post game show

With Tavares Play tailing off, I could see a scenario where Nylander or Marner are moved to Center and JT to the Wing

Sabres Twitter is on Top of Things as well

Add 28th and 41st to the list

He cannot go to the AHL because of His Age, He missed the cutoff by 16 days. It’s either the NHL or CHL for Him.

Per Friedman Samuel Girard has a broken sternum and is done for the playoffs
