    Looking at Buffalo's D situation on capfriendly.

    Is Borgen ready yet? What about Fitzgerald.

    Also, does Pilut get a shot at a full time LD position?

    Looks like the Sabres have some options to move a couple of D and at least 1 forward and still have some depth, no?

    Isn’t Pilut gone? I know he signed a contract in the KHL but do we still keep his rights? I was always confused on how that works

    Saw this lineup on Twitter. 
     

    Hall-Eichel-VO

    Skinner-Staal-Cozens (My concern is he’s not ready for Top 6 Role)

    Thompson-Eakin-Reinhart ( This is similar to Tuch-Eakin-Pacioretty line which Eakin had his most success with) 

    Rieder/Zemgus-Lazar-Okposo 

    I’d definitely switch out Cozens for Reinhart on the 2nd line

    NHL free agency is completely different than the NFL. Crazy how long it takes for the bigger names to sign. Also seems like nothing happens before noon. 

    Not always like this. A lot of teams aren’t spending to the cap. Teams are basically penny pinching

    I know it is still early in the free agency period, but it is hard to not feel discouraged.  Seems that not only have we not signed a player that would be a significant upgrade at a position of need, we have re-signed or signed players at above what should be their current market value.  This is a bad combination and does not bode well for the upcoming season.

     

    I need to know that we are at least trying to sign a marquee player. I get that we are not a desirable destination but the fan base needs to now that they are putting in an effort to improve the team

    He’s good at doing his own oil changes, and is good at naming state capitals. 
     

    He’s bad at making a good omelette, and remembering to change the filter for the furnace. 

    In all fairness to him I have to imagine that most people are bad at remembering to change the filter in the furnace.

    Still a lot of shoes to drop.

    Hall, Pietrangelo, Granlund, Toffoli, Vatanen, Hoffman, Greene, Galchenyuk, Dadonov, Kulikov, Namestnikov, Hamonic, Grabner, Athanisiou, Haula, Wilson, Forbert, Thornton, Lewis, Chara, Duclair, Clifford, Kahun, Leivo, Caggiula, Hutton, Mueller, Rutta, Gustafson, Bowey, Boyle, Sheahan, Marleau, Kovalchuk, Wallmark...

    And if we miss out on the good ones, there are still cap dumps to come.

    We aren’t a destination, so we need to be patient.

    So you’re staying we still have plenty more time to be disappointed?

    For the record. I'm a Sabre fan. Have been since they came into the league. I want them to be successful. Goalies are not where I want them to spend big on but an upgrade on our backup would be nice. Spend big at other positions. If they can find one #1 or #2 scoring winger and a third line center and marginally upgrade our goalkeeper I'm happy invest your money in scoring.. 

    I agree. That’s why they drafted arguably the best goal scorer in the draft. I really hope they throw an offer to Hall or make a trade for a legit goal scorer. Hall is a pipe dream but it’s not that far fetched that Adams can bring someone in via trade
