Tuch's extension doesn't factor into this year's team salary at all.
Worry about fitting all the guys that need to be re-signed or all the guys they hope to bring in next year in the next off-season. They can trade a piece or pieces for something cheaper next year IF that's necessary. It certainly isn't necessary at present.
I'm sure Tuch is watching this insanity with Yakety Sax playing in the background going on thinking "GET ME THE ***** OUT OF HERE".

So the Sabres are in a complete state of paralysis until the situation with Byram is resolved.
What a hilarious shitshow this organization is.

What is hilarious about keeping Adams is that because the Sabres have kept Adams and are allowing him to drive this bus, he will not get the best trade for Byram. He can't accept futures even if they were good picks and prospects because Adams has to make the playoffs this year. He can't sign Byram because he stupidly gave Samuelsson too much money AND compounded his error by convincing himself he can't move off of Samuelsson or simply sign Byram. The solution is so blindingly obvious, sign Byram to a 4-5yr deal at 7.25 or whatever and then move on. Instead Adams is trying to force who? Calgary? St Louis? into a trade that they clearly aren't going to make and in the end it is just pushing Byram towards an offer sheet.
Bo Byram: 246 career games, he had his point total go up again even though he got basically no pp time. He had 7g, 38pts this past season. He had 75 hits and 116 blocked shots. He was a -5.8xgf% and only -2.6relcf%
Rasmus Andersson: 536 career games, he has had his totals drop every year since his 50pt peak. 49, 39, 31 this past year. Most hits is 63 and he had 36 last year. He is good at blocking shots with 196. -8.9xgf% last year. -6.4 relcf%
Why the ***** are we trading a younger, better defender for an older not as good defender? Byram has upside and Andersson wants to play in Vegas next year. Sign Byram and figure out the logjam of highly paid defenders some other day. Or trade him for a top 6 forward (which will cost the same on your cap) but we can't do that. Adams decided he was moving on from Bo and that's that. Adams is a narrow minded, one track sort of thinker and it is so painfully obvious he lacks the abilities needed to be a successful NHL gm.
Adams had roughly the same qualifications to be an NHL GM as the guy with the hot dog cart outside of the arena. Only a ridiculous fool like Terry didn't see this coming.

I get the feeling he gets a poison pill laced offer sheet.

So Buffalo was like hey! Here's a contract offer and Allan Walsh was like... "no"
Allan Walsh sucks btw
Walsh works for his clients to get them what they want. He didn't give a counter offer because JJ didn't want to be here. Why do you think he was feeding his stooge Fat Frank all of those stories?

Is the answer because they're blaming his season on the S&C coach rather than on the player?
They would be stupid enough to think that.

When you are in a contract year and show up completely unprepared and out of shape and stink the joint out on a nightly basis that's a HUGE red flag. Why in the hell are they giving him anything other than a qualifying offer?

The only way anything ever gets better is for Terry to go away. There is no hope as long as he is the owner.

You probably should be because it's a really bad take.

Dabbling in hyperbole today are we?
Everyone has been extolling his excellence when paired with Tage, I don't think this situation is that different beyond the fact that Tuch is a better player than MM was (which I already said).
But he's also the kind of player who could either play another 10 years, or have his legs give out in 3. It's a risk.
They should extend him because it's good for the team in the short term. But if they aren't sniffing the playoffs next year, they may be wise to use his good contract value and the raising cap to recover assets before it's too late.
MM was a journeyman who literally got carried by an all but certain HOF'er to a few good seasons and fell straight off a cliff without Tavares. Tuch is an all-star caliber two way forward that teams pray for. There is literally no comparison here.

This is Matt Moulson with a little more talent.
This might just be the most insane thing ever uttered in the entire history of these boards. I couldn't think of any two players who could be less alike: Tuch is an excellent player, MM had a couple of good seasons being carried by John Tavares that fooled us into handing him a huge contract.

A friend of mine was told by someone in the know who made the call not to lock up Sam long-term even though Sam wanted one. I think you can all figure out who made that call (Hint:There is a reason Botts got another GM gig and nobody in the league holds his tenure here against him).

Yo - what’s the band’s name??
-
So I always check TickPick to try and find cheap concerts or sports events to go to and as I was scrolling I saw two Brand New shows in the NYM area with tickets for $2 (yes, $2 with no fees added). That got me curious so I checked the band page and sure enough all dates have stupid cheap tickets. If you don't know the story: Years back it came out the lead singer did some bad things involving women (including some underage) and this is their big comeback tour. So apparently some more bad stuff involving women came out a few months back and now horrified fans who were somehow stunned that the guy who did bad things did more bad things that hadn't been disclosed were dumping their tickets. I mean, you knew the guy did bad stuff so why are you shocked that more stuff came out?

In any other place a franchise star giving an interview like that would lead to a media and online frenzy, in Terry's Nuthouse it's just another day and nobody cares.

That and the palm trees presser made me aggressively angry at this org. I've lost all trust in Terry Pegula ability to do anything other than age.
I wish no ill will, but.... I do hope he ages comfortably yet expeditiously and stays home...for forever.
For the crimes he has committed against the hockey fans of WNY Terry should be dragged out to Alumni Plaza, be tarred and feathered and then put in stockade to be pelted with expired produce. I wish I had the power to wish him away into a cornfield like the Twilight Zone.
Just now, Carmel Corn said:This is a "stink" that the franchise will never be rid of (kind of like the bad odor in Jerry Seinfeld's car). Whether it's Drury, Ryan Miller or Tage Thompson....this team never has the toughness or will to have each other's backs.
The stink is the clueless putz who owns us.

You are aware last season was his first as their owner right?
