Message to Armstrong/Conroy: You get Bo !!!

I believe he’s correct, and I’d pay Byram. The cap isn’t so bad on the defense side as when we signed Power. I’d pay the term and amount. We can hash out who goes in another couple years, but now, ya, I’d re-sign him.

Not really. Bo’s agent isn’t dumb, arbitration may leave money on the table. I think both the Sabres and Bo’s camp are silent on all of this as Adams works through the negotiating process. Which is what terrifies me as a Sabres fan, not so much in the return quality, because I’ve lost faith in Adam’s ability to get that in a deal, but in the return “fit”. In other words, is what Kyven brings in the fit the Sabres need. It down right scares the ***** out of me with this guy at the helm.

Someone tell me how I’m supposed to feel about this?

Hardly a fantasy. He’s 2 seasons away to UFA. His value isn’t at an apex now, not even close given his age and it’s the off season. I don’t know where you’d get that idea from, but it is simply not the case. Buffalo holds his rights, they hold all the cards.

I think Adams is playing this perfectly. He can match any offer sheet, so if a team thinks they will, they are lying to themselves and hockey fans in general. If Byram stays, even short term, it’s a win. He’s more than capable of making us better. if he’s traded, it will be on Adams terms, he holds all the cards.

So, this looks to be about it, the roster we are going in to the season with. At least, as of now. 6 years in and it doesn’t look promising. We shall see. Hope to be pleasantly surprised.

It is. But literally LG, we have nothing else, at least in my humbled opinion. I don’t like it, but no one is coming here, and after watching many videos on him, ya, offensively, he’s the most naturally ready. I hate saying it, but hell LG, at this point, why not give him 8 games?

Great insight on this post. Well done. i know I’m going to be feathered on this one, but our fin rookie. He looks ready.

I hope so if he signs elsewhere 🤣

Yes they did, I remember, I’m that old.

Losing JBD isn’t even worth he convo in my opinion. The guy wasn’t an impact player, at least not what this team needs. So if he walks, he walks, big deal. he needs an impact forward in here, how he’s going to do it is beyond me as most impact players have put handcuffs on movement via NTC’s/NMC’s. We shall see what he does, if anything. Right now, I don’t see this team in the playoffs next season.

Ehlers still not signed

Said it before, say it again…. The Sabres brand is damaged so severely that an overwhelming number of the leagues impact players will not consider coming here. It’s not merely a matter of how those players view the 14 years dwelling in the basement, it’s the players that have been here with their escape from Buffalo stories. Under This Pegulas ownership, no matter his intention, the Sabres name and logo now represent the worst case scenario for players careers, their hopes, dreams, aspirations, their internal fires for compete and glory in the hockey arenas. No player will willingly come here unless is for monetary gain, the retirement run as it were, where they don’t have to worry about working hard and winning. That encapsulates what Sabres name and logo have become.

At this point keep him, sign Ehler’s, let the rookies in Rochester battle for a spot and for god sakes Adams, get Benson on a ribeye and pasta regimen. Let’s roll!!!

Happy Canada Day guys and gals, hope it was a great day for everyone…..well, except the Maple Leafs.

Ehlers is next

It’s not happening. honestly, I don’t believe it’s any of f the teams Dreger listed. If he’s moved, I’m thinking it’s a team not mentioned. im keeping an eye 👁️ n the Ehlers situation. I wonder if the Sabres have approached and he’s waiting to see what they do with the byram situation, but I’m just spifballing.

But things are “percolating”……🤣

I wonder what the story is here. They have a lot of cap space.

1.5 mil, Terry is tearing Kyven a new one as we speak. Something about Kyven better be over to barnacle scrape or he’s gone……. film at 11

He’s secured his barnacle removal service for the yacht. I for one am extremely impressed at how he’s handled this entire yacht purchase affair for the family. A true legend professional.

“Stripper not included”

NS!!!! Ehlers is still out there 👍

It wouldn’t matter if he was fully focused in the FA war room. The Sabres brand has been massively damaged. 14 seasons of bad stories coming from players that fled Buffalo like it was the apocalypse. You better believe the damage down is going to take a long long time to over come.
