Slightly dramatic, yes.
However, we have objectively just got worse through this FA period. And we missed the playoffs last year, so its not looking good. Especially when you think of the other teams in our division.
I am glad he is back. Girgensons os pretty low on the list of problems the Sabres have had for the last 6 years.
Its a couple hundred thousand more than I’d like. But he was due to be a UFA and we have no prospect ready to replace him.
The Sabres front office don’t get the benefit of the doubt on their moves anymore. At least not from me.
There are only a couple of them out there though
Don’t get me wrong. I hope you are right and he tries the market and sees no shift and comes back for a 3/4 year contract around the $10 million mark.
but you only need one team to offer him a one year deal (he is good friends with Drai in Edmonton) and we have to find a 2RW and 3RW on the market
This really only works if you already have Sam and Killeen.
At the moment we have Okposo playing alongside Jack. If we sign Sam, Okposo is playing next to Staal
