Pegula's really letting Rochester have some players, eh?

Got a huge, HUGE chuckle out of this...……….. Gord Miller ✔ @GMillerTSN An NHL GM on what he’s trying to accomplish today: “I’m trying to move out bad contracts so I can give out some more tomorrow.”

Please, someone tell me we didn't draft Mr. Glass...………….please.

I'm guessing we're going to see a few more trades around the league today as teams gear up for tomorrow.

Pierre LeBrun ✔ @PierreVLeBrun Things are still fluid but hearing as of now it’s basically Colorado and a unidentified team in the running for UFA winger Joonas Donskoi.... I don’t think Edmonton and Buffalo are in anymore but again, things are fluid 229 9:17 PM - Jun 29, 2019

Decent Amerks signing. But a 1 way contract? How does that fit in to all this?

While I agree the D is suspect, The off season is not over yet...…………………..

Ehlers! Risto for Ehlers! I'd love that deal.

I think they're both gone to be honest. You don't bring in an RHD to move an LHD I am guessing. But I believe your on firm ground with your comment. Would be nice if Botterill could move Risto, Scandella and Nylander (I just don't see Nylander unseating Olofsson or CJ Smith for a roster spot, and after 3 seasons, he needs a fresh scene, just my take is all) for a 2nd line center and LW'er that are worthy assets I'd be estatic.

Well, if they keep Risto and run with Risto, Montour and Miller on the right, that's not horrible I guess.

I don't think everyone supports it, well, ok, maybe many have, but in a few cases such as myself, we are looking at addressing that 2nd line C and W needs. FA should be able to help out the bottom 6. I just don't want to see Mitts put in the 2C position this coming season, the kid is going to be good, but I'd like him sheltered for a couple 3 years.

We are defensemen heavy. Another move is coming down the pipeline, and my fingers are OH SO CROSSED it's Ehler's from Winnipeg for Risto. I honestly believe both Scandella and Risto are out of here.

I'm not fond of Mittelstadt at 2C at all. As a matter of preference, I'd much prefer Mitts center a 3rd line with 1 experienced winger that has both a sound defensive game but also has enough hockey IQ to jump in aggressively on the offensive side. I don't see success with Mitts at 2C, at least, not this coming season, based on his rookie outing. I do like moving Sobotka and Sheary. Wilson is decent line 4 depth and Elie is meh to me in any event. Skinner won't be leaving Eichel's LW. Your simply not paying a line 2 LW'er 9 mil a season. I believe your right on Nylander, I think he gets moved, if that was your intention of him. Not sure where, but Toronto makes a ton of sense as a trading partner for the Sabres. Just an IMO.

I really like this line.

Olofsson looks NHL ready. Can we safely pencil him in as a scoring line RW'er for the upcoming season finally?

Yikes! If we are going after Stralman I pray it's for individual coaching for Pilut and Dahlin, because if it's actually for playing, the Sabres are in even bigger trouble than I thought.

I don't check tweeter often enough I guess, but are we even rumored to be rumored in any rumors in the rumor mill?

The Golden Season? I feel like I've been on Oak Island for 10 years, I found a tablet that said if you tear it down, you'll find that "Golden Season" chemistry. Unfortunately, after drilling massive holes in the island (sell everything not nailed down), I still haven't found that gold, and the curse says that elusive Stanley Cup won't be found until 7 major players are traded away. We are only on player 5, or something. (Insert ,me as a skeleton, waiting for the treasure to be discovered meme here)

I agree. Although I would love him to throw an offer sheet Time Meier

It's actually really good on chicken, hell the burgers to ?

Today JBott is going to be taking in the lake breeze while pondering hamburgers or sweet rays bbq chicken on the grill tonight.

Was there a JBott sighting on Elmwood this morning, enjoying a root beer float? Where is he?

Colin Miller is Interesting.

Awfully quiet early on from the Sabres. hoping they have a plan.

If he's all but locked up for SJ, as Rivet suggests, then why is he meeting with Dallas and Tampa? Something isn't lining up here...…. https://www.tsn.ca/san-jose-sharks-captain-joe-pavelski-to-make-ufa-visits-this-week-1.1327675
