  1. So now that we have Thompson 7.1M, Dylan Cozens 7.1M, Owen Power 8.35M, Mattias Samuelsson 4.35M, Jeff Skinner 9M, Alex Tuch 4.75M, Rasmus Dahlin 11M all on long term deals then where is there going to be enough room for all of UPL, Quinn, Peterka, Byram? Will there be an odd man out? Which 1 is it? Something has to give right? Do we buyout Skinners contract next season or the year after to make room? 

  2. I don't think some are understanding, I by no means think negatively of UPL but we've just rewarded TNT, Owen Power, Dylan Cozens, Mattias Samuelsson, Rasmus Dahlin, all of which took a step backwards this past season so all I'm saying is proceed with caution. Giving a long term extention here for half a season of production in a contract year can be just as detrimental if not worse than giving the above players deals imo. I'm not saying don't give UPL a contract but I think a 2-3 year (prove you can do this full time from here on out, 4.5M per season tops) deal is the way to go.

    No he wasn’t. He was a goalie struggling to come back from double hip surgery. He has always been a talented goalie.  24 is the beginning of the maturity curve for goalies. 
     

    UPL-Levi should be the long term plan starting next season. Bridge him for 2 year and see where Levi is then and make a decision at that point.

    If that's your opinion that's fine but he was really bad and even hard to watch up until Jan, most here were looking to move on including myself. A bridge deal is definitely what he should get.

    True.  But at this point, this group of Sabres still lack accountability from within.   It’s time to see the leaders from the core emerge.  They could use an infusion of dare I say “vets in their prime”.   That just doesn’t happen easily for the Sabres apparently 

    Didin't we just have Vets here? Okposo, Girgensons has been here forever, Eric Johnson, Dahlin has been here since 2018, Craig Anderson. What does Vets in their prime mean?

    I’m really starting to loath the “a” word.  It’s become the blue collar fan rally cry.  What are they going to do, bench $55 million dollars worth of players and call up rookies?  They hitched their wagons to these guys. We get to deal with the repercussions.  Yay us. 

    At some point even benching them for a few minutes may get the message across, the way Power is playing right now with no repricussions when he makes mistake after mistake just rewards failure imo. Same goes for any player that isn't getting the message across.
