Gotchya, I personally hope we try to sign Holtby, every single season but the past 2 he's had more wins than losses and just feel like he has plenty left in the tank.

Is Quick a FA? I thought he was someone we had to trade for?

Did I call it or did I call it?

I chose 4x4.5, I think that's the right number and about when we'll want to get out. He's going to be 27 on July 18th, which isn't terribly old but we have prospects Quinn, Peterka who I'd like to get significant playing time. Plus we'll eventually be paying out Dahlin, Thompson, Power, Jokiharu, Samuelson and Tuch in the not so distant future.

We'll find out soon enough. I hope you're right.

Unless they trade for a goalie I don't think a legit 1 will play here just yet so I went with UPL and re-sign Anderson. I don't like it but I just don't see how we can get around it.

I’m enjoying it as a dude with no hatred to either.

Not me, this has been so fun to watch.

I don’t want this series to end, it’s been such good back and fourth.

I'd wait to see if it was a fluke or not, it was his best season by far. If he does the same or better then we will have plenty to pay him.

I'm cool with it this year and then give it to Tuch who is just as deserving of the C imo moving forward.

I'm going to guess we trade for a goalie, no way they sell the fan base that they're trying to win with an even worse goalie than last year.

I've never heard of the "washed" term yet, I'm sure my son will be saying it any day now. I must be an old timer also 🤣.

At 32 years old Kane put up 92 points so he's not washed up but he'd most likely be taking either Peterka or Quinn's spot away right? Also I'd guarantee the minimum would be a 1st round pick and maybe a prospect. They had a previous vezina trophy winner in Marc-Andre Fleury in net and still couldn't make the playoffs, I just don't think it would make much sense for us other than nostalgia imo.

Really? You're better than this. Heck of a game, couldn't ask for much more!

Refs unfortunately deciding this 1, just let them play. These are bush league penalties.

I put Holtby but I doubt half or more of these guys would even sign here. Putting Fluery on this list is great but I don't think we have a snowballs chance in hell of getting him here (but yes there's a chance) even if we severely overpay. Again I don't think guys like Kris Letang would even consider us but that's just my opinion. I'm not sure if teams consider us an up and comer or not but we're about to find out.

How many cups did we win or even get to with Miller? This seems desperate imo but by the looks of it I'm not the majority.

I just hope it's as great of a series as the hype around it.

Im all for free draft picks, I truly don't believe the Sabres are going to do anything big this off-season. I know most fans are going to hate it but I think it will be another year for the kids to grow, we'll add Quinn, possibly Peterka, UPL to the lineup. Probably overpay for a defensemen on a 3-4 year deal, Just my opinions. Let these guys all gel and form a nice young core then add to the core next off-season. If nothing else a goalie upgrade needs to happen, not sure how the Sabres will pull it off or if they can but it will be interesting to see what they do there or do we just bring back Anderson.

So he was offsides correct? Edmonton has the fire power to match but Mike Smith is absolutely terrible.

Nice, restocking the pipeline. I'm hoping we get much bigger by the end of this draft class.

NHL replay is getting as bad as the NFL. He was clearly offsides,what a terrible call there.

I think it would be a mistake keeping the exact same roster, first off although there was cohesion between this group they also were playing knowing nothing was at stake, will there be cohesion when the playoffs are on the line. I'd like to see upgrades over Vinny Hinostroza, Casey Middlestadt, Jacob Bryson and Craig Anderson. Also we will need to fill in Colin Miller's spot, will Victor Olofsson want to come back? Now if that means upgrading through FA, trades or just adding Quinn, Peterka to the lineup. These are just my opinions, I realize not everyone agrees.

It will be easy to get to the cap floor imo. We need upgrades over Colin Miller, Jacob Bryson, Vinny Hinostroza, Craig Anderson and I'll even throw in Casey Middlestadt. We will most likely re-sign Victor Olofsson and most likely have to overpay for all of their services, goaltender especially. Quinn could possibly take Hinostroza's spot at wing but I'd say we need the rest in FA. Im also realistic, thinking Marc Andre Fleury, Kris Letang, Darcy Keumpfer or players of that caliber will come here are a pipe dream.
