I’m wondering if Tage has another good season, will the team offer him a new deal, or will he demand one. A little over $7 million isn’t going to be enough through 2029-30.

7-foot tall and 250 pounds defenseman has committed to play at Penn State.

Well he was hoping to be drafted by Buffalo, not Edmonton. Remember the sick look on his face when the Oilers “won” the lottery.

I’d settle for a one year playoff run. If they got into the playoffs, it could convince free agents and those with no trade contracts to come to Buffalo.

Defenseman Ryan Johnson has a chance to make the top 6, especially if Byrum gets traded. He’d be a bottom pair shutdown defender. It also looks like Kozak will get a chance to play 4th line center. The forward openings appear to be in the top six, so someone would have to blow Lindy’s socks off in training camp to get a look.

Unfortunately there aren’t any local billionaires interested in buying the team. A sale would likely be followed with a move to another city. Buffalo would never get a team back.

Looks like an enforcer for the Amerks.

He’s starting his divisional revenge tour.

The Red Wings have had so many goalies over the last couple of years that they won’t even notice he’s gone.

Jeff Skinner and Tyson Jost.

Was that Eichel’s first appearance? That would explain the interest.

#77 is available. 🤔

I think we tend to overvalue our players more than other teams do. Some teams may have been hesitant to give a young guy such a big contract. I think Utah’s owner is trying to copy Vegas and throw money at players to speed up their success, which may or may not work. I look at the trade like we needed a right steering wheel snowplow, which are hard to get, so they cost more. We got a big fast one with low mileage, and they threw in a rugged snowblower, but we had to give up one of our sports cars to get it. We still have some sports cars, and some still on the production line, but we filled a need. Now we need to see if we can use other assets to get one or two dependable performance cars that have some mileage on them.

I like the trade. Peterka was not good without the puck which is most of the game. I would have hated if the Sabres had given him that contract. When I saw Kesslering play he was always noticeable, and fills a need for a big RHD. And they add a character Benson-like forward with a good pedigree.

This is the same guy who said they were buying out Samuelsson. He’s not very credible.

The attendance of their biggest attraction, the Amerks, averages around 6,000. So there is no justification for that large of a venue.

I don’t think so, too much time has passed. Most people don’t know the origin; that the team was originally going to be the Dayton Aeros as tribute to Ohio’s aviation history. They will pick a name relevant to Houston and Texas.

Doomscrolling has become popular.

Likely one of the core players who wants to win now, so he wants changes.
