Oloffson goes. Eakin goes. Quinn and Peterka replace Hinostroza comes back as extra/competition for the two new rookies Our veteran UFA splash is a defenseman partner for Power Potential to sign a veteran UFA splash to push down one of those rookies, but I’m not holding my breath why do we need 10 off-season plan threads?

It’s simple. Sign Levi, Portillo, and Anderson. Levi will play pro, guaranteed. Anderson will hold the fort through the first rough patches. Portillo and UPL will split Rochester. We will trade UPL or Portillo next trade deadline for something to help the playoff run. Playoffs!

Isn’t the Miller contract only have like a 5 mil cap hit this year? Football salary cap is a lie. Contracts are a lie

Anderson is everything Hutton was supposed to be. I don’t get the concern about his age until the wheels fall off.

I’d rather keep Anderson and Pysyk than undermine the room without them. The others we can just waive no harm no foul. Oloffson appears wasn’t on the table which concerns me, but that’s how it goes.

Not that I’m aware of but he’s broken imo and isn’t worth his next contract.

Can’t fix the water

Our room finally has good culture. I don’t want Vinnie traded even if he re signs unless the player himself is adamant about it. And that’s the thing, I don’t think he would be. only trade out guys who don’t have a future here. Oloffson for example.

Good game. Shame they couldn’t start the season today

Hagg was bad. Get him out of the room

Only thing to look forward to is draft picks for cap retention. Nobody wants our trash At least Florida put every other contender in the hot seat

Power is a bust

Been saying this since his first few games with us. Turnover king

They only lost to spite Jack. Easy win

3 retention slots now? Can you retain only for 1 year not all?

He will make the team. Why so many doubters. Y’all are no better than Tim Murray when it comes to deciphering goalie voodoo. Guy makes a bad team look good and he isn’t a 6’4” Swede straddling in position. He’s actually good.

There is something to be said it feels like the first season in a while that once the end of season grind gets underway, Buffalo isn’t one of those teams falling off a cliff. Really wonder what a full season of Anderson and Mittelstadt would’ve done.

We will try to sign Subban or Letang to something rich. They just might bite. We will throw money at Bergeron and Giroux but come up short. May way overpay for a Kadri or Strome and that’s okay. Cap floor no issue. Oloffson will be traded out or let go. Hinostroza kept around, but for nothing consequential Levi will go pro and all will be unicorns and rainbows. Anderson gets paid to come back just in case and for something rich. Cap space be damned.

Going to be honest I never fully understood why Myers was ran out of town. People got excited his rookie year and wanted him to be a 1D and he sophomore slumped. He’s still a fine 3/4D. Maybe Vancouver would trade him at the TDL for a retainer Miller and sweetener? They’d do it partially to get out of the cap hit for the following two years of contract. Myers has a NTC though and I’m not sure why her waive it.

You trade Oloffson. His next contract begins to get prohibitive to rookies expected to backfill right away You re sign Hinostroza for 2x2. You do this to not gift any positions to 3rd/4th line rookies. You also do this because the salary is high enough other teams will blink before claiming off of waivers. Bjork is in the same boat, he is competition but nothing you worry about paying being a cap floor team.

Matthew’s got 2 games. Amazing

I give Granato benefit of the doubt for fifth string goalie nonsense and all the other injuries. He took a team that was completely lost and got them having fun. And it’s with a bunch of kids and players everyone else gave up on. Wins come next.

Imagine if Dahlin pulled off that goal

That’s what honest but annoying means

Refreshing for honest commentators and not homers. Even if they were annoying. Sabres need to work on 2nd periods. Getting outshot bad. Anderson winning games. Wish we had him all season.
