I'm not giving up the first in a package for Gaudreau. Or Cozens. If they think teams will pay that (2 pieced plus a high 1st) for a 2 Yr rental they are insane. Now if they want to add a player that would immediately improve us then I'll start negotiating.

Just reading up on Staal and looks like we could see a few milestones (if things go well). Currently he has 436g, 585a in 1240 games. I'd be hoping to see goal number 450, and 600th assist this year. Possiblt 1300 nhl games too depending on the length of this season. Go Sabres

Not sure this should be following a @Wyldnwoody44 travel post, but I recently discovered these beauties. The heartbeat sauces (from Thunder Bay) are majestic. Hot and flavorful. The Secret Aardvark is a nice tomatoey hot sauce. Love them.

don't we still have Piluts nhl rights? Could adams not give him a call and work something out? Or has that ship sailed?

I dunno. If rossi is gone, I really like Lundell. Not a flashy pick, but the more I read about him he just seems like a solid, reliable middle 6 guy. We need someone like that.

Dunno if the players would be happy getting separated from families for a season though. There would need to be breaks, then constant testing to ensure "bubble integrity".

Bettman saying he isn't keen on going into the summer as fans like watching over autumn, winter And spring. It's that actually true?

Thought it might be useful to post info/rumors on the structure of next season. https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Rumor-from-Two-Sources--NHL-Considering-Double-Headers-Early-Next-Season/1/107487 Speculation here of a December start and the inclusion of doubleheaders (in this case 2 games with the same teams playing, on the same day).

how does the weird season affect trades? Is it open season for any teams not left in SC?

Would Dadonov be worth a punt for a year. Seems to be a bonefide scorer. Elite has him down as lw or rw but shoot L though.

Oooo, interesting

Oof. Phil Kessel in buffalo? Probably not. https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2020/09/arizona-rejects-latest-trade-offer-from.html?m=1#more

Do do I or I need to get a new nameplate and number for my 50th jersey!! Plus Vic's a quality goalscorer. The real pain the arse contract this offseason is still the boat anchor that is Kyke Okposo's. In an era where we're talking reduced cap him taking up ~15% is maddening. (I also don't feel any anger/frustration towards Kyle fwiw. Fair play to him and his agent).

It would be a pegula move to sign a $5m player that you only need to pay $1M

You've got to think sabres are on his mntc though. Eh?

Here's hoping he can swing Hutton for a cheaper, better alternative!

Would a line of Skinner-Staal-Cozens be viable?

This is the deciding factor for me. If casey comes back and is a step behind harder working peers then I think its game over for him and perhaps a move will give him the kick up the arse he needs.

Team giraffe.

Def. Would that give us more offer sheet potential too?

Okposo, mittelstadt, montours rights? Any of those would be great. Not realistic I understand.

Olofsson (x2) and Ullmark to head play in Sweden for a bit before returning. Good thing? Or accident waiting to happen? https://buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/sabres-linus-ullmark-olofsson-brothers-reportedly-could-be-loaned-to-swedish-team/article_768cda70-ec97-11ea-80ac-938d92f9bd35.html
