How do I vote for all of the above?

The only positive spin I see is we traded a prospect that won’t be NHL ready for 3+ years (if at all) for a guy who should be able to step in and hopefully help PK and 4th line next season. Maybe they could have got someone equivalent on July 1. The playoff drought and lack of interest in joining this franchise seems more obvious this offseason than in recent memory. Sabres have to overpay and it sucks. It needs to change. They need to start winning. Sickening we’re at this point.

One and three seem like basically the same option. Either one of those would piss me off more than just keeping him and eating another year of cap hit.

Replacement prospect for when we trade Ostkund right? Right?

Ur guy there liger

Come on…….make it worth it tho

Adams got great value based on that trade. Briere a way better player than gm I see

Isn’t it the guy with the hyphened name and 59 letters long that you want?

Does he still have the concussion history?

Sharks be trading up for a dick

Don’t you dare ask that question

As someone who has done no research on this draft…..any surprises yet? Everything as expected so far?

Nobody has us by the balls. Pay who is worth it. Otherwise, thanks for taking us to the playoffs and ending the drought. Just don’t give up too much

I wish they were eliminated altogehter. Keep the contracts guarenteed if you want but trades are what brings excitement to fans. Fans paying ludicrous money on tickets and merch is what pays for those guarenteed contracts. Eliminate no trade clauses in every sense of the word. Just my 2 cents....

Still feels like plenty of room. I’m not seeing big picture yet. Unless there are some big moves coming, I’m not sure why they do this now. They still have decent space to replace skinner in the top 6 and just have him play lower in the lineup or in the press box as depth in case of injury. Overpaid sure but don’t know why were extending the cap hit longer when it seems we have the space next season anyway?

Sorry if I missed it but does anyone know how much cap space we have available this offseason prior to the buyout? I kind of agree with this post. long term is it not better to atleast eat one more year and then buy out next offseason? Only benefit I see is if we actually use the cap savings this year. That in itself is exciting but it’s been awhile since we’ve spent big on salary. If this truly is for cap purposes I can’t help but think it may be a fun offseason.

Thanks Taro. Stood out to me the huge number of people who showed up on a Wed night in June. Sure seems like season ticket base has increased from last year which I found surprising. Awesome. Way more fun when the barn is full and vast majority there to cheer on Sabres. Now, if this team can play winning hockey next season is next question. Vibes of 05-06 if it happens. Look at the crazy support the bandits got. This city is ready to get behind a winning club.

Hey did you ask a question during the Q and A? My little guy asked the first question. ‘I just want to know if you’re gonna push this team to the limit.’ I didn’t know what he was going to ask haha. Nothing real interesting said during the session but fun event overall.

I’ll be there! Truly sad and crazy that I plan my entire business around being available for a meaningless presser in June. But ***** I’ll be there!

TBF that’s probably the time they have max value in a trade.
