That's not just an option, that's the holy grail!! This happens and strap on to ur boots. Hate to say it but it ain't happenen.

Baloo

I'm envisioning him not even being on the team.

Ding ding ding ding

Yep. I'd agree with that. I think Guhle starts in Roch for a month or two and Pilut is a 6th/7th battling it out with Nelson.

I'd guess he signs for $10; similar to Jack.

Rasmus Dahlin will be fine!!!

So if he leaves, what are the most likely landing spots? Like Dahlin, I haven't given JT much thought. Who has the cap room who he would find appealing. Please don't say Toronto...please don't say Toronto...please...

Feels like you've been trolling us lately!

Can you even imagine Johnny T?! Wowzers.

Oh I know. I'm hoping we get atleast Dahlin or Eichel in the lineup. Although I thinking the big deal will be JT if he's still an islander. Ironic thing is they are marketing the game about Tavares coming back to Oshawa yet he may not even be on either team come September.

Not nearly the same magnitude as season ticket holders but for the first time I was really wavering on another mini pack next year. Since the lottery I'm in. Sabres are coming to Oshawa for a Preseason Game in September. I got my tickets but my uncle was not going to pay the crazy prices they're charging for a Preseason Game, despite it being in our home town. He bought tickets the day after winning the lottery.

Been there, done that. We have the young core in place. Desperately need veterans and higher skill guys to show them the way. I wouldn't trade Scandella. We need about 3 more Scandella type players up front.

I think Risto takes some heat because we want him to be that legit, #1 Dman. There are no other options so coaches have played him like a #1. In reality he's a number 2, or more likely, great second pairing guy. Now that Dahlin is coming aboard, I think we're going to see a great second pairing anchor as early as the season after next. He will be won back over in the eyes of fans playing 22 minutes a night as a great second pairing guy.

That's not just ur feeling. At this point I would be surprised if he isn't allowed to walk. No was Sabres pay that qualify offer and no way a team trades for him and then has to pay him that either. Only way is if the writing is so on the wall that nobody pays his qualifying offer than maybe he agrees to a two year deal for a lesser amount. Even then it's very unlikely the Sabres want to go down that road.

I'm not opposed to this idea. I really like Sam and we need him. But we need D as well. Would love to be able to shelter Dahlin as much as possible the first half of the season. Going to be rough for Phil to do that based on the D currently on the roster.

Who else?

Luck plays a big roll in it. Signed 2006 playoff run.

How much is he getting this offseason? 3 year @ $4 per? $5?

Now that we've recognized he's more effective as a top line winger than third line center I love the way his game has taken off. He's a good winger on a team very very shallow on the wing. Would need any trade to be core altering before I move him. He should be part of this new core.

I'm as optimistic and excited about this kid as anybody. But mcdavid? Come on. Trade in a heartbeat.

Fair enough. Only other one I read the whole thing after drafting was Mittlestadt and he only had a part one. A few Swedish posters who were going on about him from the start said it's because he's from Sweden and nobody in North America ever sees him play. They say if Dahlin was from Toronto or Red Deer, or even Arizona the hype would be out of control. I've heard a couple analysts also saying this. But who knows.

I'm not here to argue with you on EK being his floor. Especially prior to the injury EK was unreal. That's a crazy point. However, I would dispute the hype not being there until after the lottery. I would never have those prospect threads open as to not lead to disappointment. But I've done f all at work the past week and a half and read every one of the 90 plus pages of Part 1 and 2 on Dahlin and the hype has been incredible and it started in 2016.

Oh my God this. A million times this. Honestly I think many fans were like me. We've lost the lottery several times in the past and the odds of not winning were better than 4 in 5. I wasn't going to start investing hype or interest and be disappointed. I heard the noise. But I refused to look into it and thus end up another bridesmaid. Search the Rasmus Dahlin prospect thread on hf. Including part 1 (which started when he was 16). The hype has been unreal the past two years but I think many Sabres fans refused to invest time researching a prize that would likely never come....

Lol was posting the same time as smell. Was referring to Roger Ronnberg. Reminds me of Ron Burgundy.
