There’s nothing to suggest this is even remotely untrue. Just look at the results and decisions.

That’s hilarious. If only that dude watched this clip before starting *****.

Best thing Sabres related I’ve seen in years. Sign him Kevyn. In the best least, have him give motivational speeches between periods.

He was honest. Given the circumstances (the key here), it was time to move on. I wouldn’t have expected him to say anything different than “I needed a change in scenery.” It’s why we all take new jobs. It wasn’t animosity against the sabres; they allowed him to go back to Sweden mid-Covid season to mourn his father’s passing. They even told him take as much time off as needed. In the end, it’s just the Bruins offered him a better contract and KA wouldn’t budge. I wouldn’t expect him to be forthcoming about the negotiation details that occurred, so he jumped to Boston and said he needed a new start. Not exactly a lie. But probably not the whole reason.

The way that this “rumor” is worded is amusing. It’s so non-committal on so many levels.

The closest thing Byram will ever get is to Dahlin is to be his partner. After his 2 years or up, he can then try to be him on another team. Hopefully, we’ll flip him next offseason when another team thinks he’s Dahlin-lite. But, yes, he wants Dahlin’s position, but failed at it last season. And I also think it’s obvious other teams don’t see him playing a Dahlin-role as well. Otherwise, we would have our king’s ransom.

Just sign him and be done with it. Place Byram next to Dahlin. Kesselring next to Power. Timmons can be a 5/6 that can be elevated to top 4 if either of them get injured. And the team still hasn’t addressed the what if Dahlin goes down for 1-2 weeks? We going to go on a new losing streak? At least with Byram and the newcomers, maybe we can go 0.400-0.500 during these games.

If that’s what they believe, then that’s one thing. But, Timmons as a top 4? Really?

True 4D chess would be to trade Timmons and a 2027 2nd rounder to get JBD back. Except for JBD. Apparently he went to the hearing stage and was awarded an obscene amount of money. Seriously though, this was Adams reason for dumping JBD, yet he traded for a different defenseman who is doing exactly what Kevyn feared JBD would do.

lol. This is fantastic, especially when Kevyn dumped JBD to avoid this very thing!

The only Amerk ready to come up is Kulich. Yeah, I know…but there’s no way he would have come up on a playoff team last year. Otherwise, I’m not interested in anyone else coming up save for Levi (if ready, but even him…). Put it this way, if they cannot help us get into the playoffs, they should not be coming up. Many teams play younger players because they need to get under the cap. That’s not us.

I’m fine with not having a lot of Forwards in the pipeline. Do people really think this is an issue? We’ve had a bountiful amount of Forwards in our pipeline over the last 5 years. Where has this done for us? I’m sick of relying on 18 years olds. I’m sick of it not blocking kids. If we don’t have a tool in our toolbox, go out a sign a vet. Otherwise, we have too many young players either currently on the team or trying to gain a spot.

That’s our Stanley Cup.

And more recently, JJP. And Kulich was nearly a 2nd rounder, being picked at 28. 2nd rounders are not the garbage people are making them out to be.

The question is, is Norris healthy and recovered from his mystery injury of last season? Do we even know what was wrong with him?

I don’t want to defend Adams, but he sort of assumed JBD would go through the arbitration route instead of signing the 2 x $900k route. But, still, I believe the Sabres have the right to walk away from any arbitration agreement and he would’ve become a FA. Does going to arbitration cost Terry money? I think he just wanted to leave Buffalo.

Definitely. He’s almost certainly considering using Buffalo as leverage to get a bigger contract.

If I were Tim Hortons, I would sue them for defamation.

Agree with this. Every year the Amerks hit the playoffs, we immediately start complaining on how we got beat by a more veteran team. Maybe having the maximum number of skilled players isn’t the way to win. Maybe having a team full of veteran bruisers with a few blue chip prospects is the better way of teaching them how to win.

What the Sabres should do is spin the Sabres Embedded series into a full blown reality TV show. Unedited. Adams just striking out on all these trades and banging his head against the wall. Would be very entertaining.

I knew I saw the name from somewhere.

I almost feel like Terry is gunning for one of those sweetheart deals Alex Meruelo got when he was leaned on (politely forced) to sell the Coyotes. He bought them in 2019 for $300M and made $1B in proceeds from the sale in 2024. A 333% return in 5 years. Terry bought the Sabres in 2011 for $189M. Sabres are believed to be valued at $1.1B, but we all know there’s people out there with deeper pockets. And, yes, the would relocate. Remember, the Utah deal sort of came out of nowhere.

Wasn’t this guy one of the Tank Commanders?

Is someone allowed to trade a player that has been offer sheeted to a 3rd team? If so, do they then become the “owner” of the offer sheeted player?
