    Yes, they need another Samuelsson type. Graves fits that skill set.

    Well, you guys have convinced me.  Sign Graves and Frederic.  Re-sign Jost.

    Trade VO for whatever he gets to fill out the roster or future picks.

    I'd use picks and/or lower forward prospect to get a decent D prospect that could be called up this year when needed and hopefully ready for 3rd pairing full time the following season.  It would be nice to have a cost-controlled D-man in 2024-2025.

    If the forwards need a player for one more year before some more kids get the nod, I'd consider overpaying Girgs for a one-year deal.  I think he has deserved the chance to skate in a Sabres jersey in the playoffs.  He fills a role and is one of the old-timer leaders.  He would help with the KO transition.

    I'm for a vet goalie but I have no idea what GMKA is planning there.

    3:1 Sabres advantage in shots and CLB can't get anything established but got a rebound early that hit Levi, Dahlin's skate, and Mitts had his stick lifted before he could get to it...  It's not like the Sabres are getting steamrolled here.

    I mean it's their 4th game in 5 nights (3 on the road).  I'll wait to see how they can finish.  Thinking they can go full throttle for 3 periods are just funny.

    Sabres can beat these guys in one period.

    Last game in what was a fun season.  I'm going to hope for a Kyle Okposo goal tonight!  As for the goalies, my hope would be Levi but if it is either UPL or Comrie I just wonder if that has any future meaning?  VO scoring wouldn't hurt and bringing home a win to get to 91 points would be nice.

    Thank you everyone from the Pegula's on down for a good season and hopefully the start of a bright future!

    Go Sabres.

    It think once it all shakes out Adams will have effectively traded Olofsson for Greenway, which is exactly what this season showed he needed to do in terms of the composition up front.

    Time will tell if he choose the right player to trade and the right player to acquire.

    I can see that if you look at cost in cap and picks, but wouldn't you agree Greenway is more of an Okposo replacement?  I will hold out hope that VO can get packaged to get the second pairing D-man they desperately need.

    I'm going to think that VO playing style would be replaced with another young guy moving up.

    No one is crying and no one has been a bigger critic of Mittlestadt than I have been.  I'm happy that he scored that goal to bring it home for Anderson and the fans at the game, and I'm happy that he and Olofsson increased their trade values tonight.

    It seems to me you don't want to trade away 100 points in 2 players this offseason.  Get what you can with VO and lose his $4.75M cap hit but I think you just have to keep Mitts for another year.  His $2.5M hit is peanuts and you just have to see if he can make another big step next year.  IMO.

    He seems to like the Sabres and provides good energy. He was put on waivers and this team salvaged his career.

    I think he is useful as a bottom 6 forward until Savoie, Kulich, Rousek, Östlund put him back on waivers. If he is willing to be the 13F on this team, he can prolong his stay.

    I would offer him a slight raise 2 X $2.2.

    Thank you for your reply.  That is pretty much what I think should be done with him.  Personally think it can be done without the raise but that's insignificant.

    So no news means good news? 

    I'll give it a 0.5 % chance he signs now

    Wow.  I would think he is weighing all the inputs from his agent and support team.  I would move your decimal point over 2 places to 50%.  He just ended a long and exciting NCAA career and shifting gears to his future can't be easy.
