I thought the bold was your first point? , the $2M.

Since when? We are still operating under Pegula's EEE guidance. He was told to get under and stay under the cap, after the purge of players who didn't want to be here he started using the cap underage to sign his own players with very few free agents. We all assume once we are a playoff team he will spend close to the cap. Right now he is still working the plan that he announced when he took over and that plan had restrictions. I think you are saying KA isn't going to absorb some of his salary just to acquire a 4th round pick, which I agree would be his position - because he is under restrictions. VO is an UFA after this season so he could eat some of that salary, but he apparently won't or can't. I think there are several reasons the trade didn't happen: KA could not get what he wanted, then Quinn got hurt so he decided to keep him, and He is operating under restrictions such as retaining salary.

Not gonna name names. Comments about his age, he wont last, he is not a top 4 ...

Some people here seem to know more than Don Granato on how to develop hockey players. Granato chronology => 4 years HC USHL, 3 years HC ECHL, 7 years HC AHL, 3 years HC of US Hockey National Team (17U, 18U, 17U), 1 year HC Big-10, 4 1/2 years Asst HC NHL, 1/2 year interim HC NHL, 2 years HC NHL. You may not like his system, or his game day coaching, but how many people might there be that know more about developing Benson, Savoie and the gang?

and Tage, and Dahlin, ... Heck, people moaned about signing Erik Johnson for one year at $3.25M. This guy is a professional hockey player if there ever was one. He is exactly what we needed. I will bet that Mule, Power, Dahlin, Joker and Clifton are very happy to listening to anything this guy has to say about playing defense in the NHL.
-
He is 25, an undrafted player that played four years of NCAA hockey. This really is Biro's shot. If not with the Sabres, then maybe another team that might be watching. I understand we have a lot of fancy first rounders and Biro could be a career AHL player but this kid deserves a look, he might be a 4th line lower cost guy that we will need soon. He earned it in camp.
-
Buffalo needs goals and they also need guys to help prevent goals. If they feel Kulich or Rosen is ready then fine, I defer to Adams and DG. I think they are going by what they saw in preseason and by Rochester play, and since Biro came back from injury he has 6 points in 5 games so he is not far behind the other two.
-
Come on Adams, just ignore camp and preseason and do what Buffalonil wants.
-
He will be up sooner or later. Biro outplayed him in preseason.
-
Correct. IMO Biro was the next best prospect, after Benson, in the preseason games. He earned the next look I would have to say.
-
It was his fault. I dont think he heard or felt Kyle coming, he was skating back in a routine manor and may have lost his edge once he felt the pressure of Kyle on him. He could have been blasted, he is lucky Kyle is a good guy. There was a ref right there, and he saw nothing to call. The Avs were upset but there was nothing in the way of a penalty. McKinnon managed to get 14 minutes.
-
The answer is you don’t bring up 4 rookie forwards and give them the 4th line or distribute them on all the lines. They are not entitled to play in the NHL. When one of them beats out a player higher on the depth chart then that one move up.
-
Girgs was in a fight already this season, almost two. Okposo had half the Avs after him for the “push” to Mekar who basically lost an edge due to his own carelessness.

Right on
