Why do people think he wants to join his dad? He is not 12. Being in the same organization with your dad is just awkward. Would make things more difficult for him.

Disagree. Comrie and UPL weren’t trusted down the stretch when they needed wins. Then the final game, a nothing game and they don’t even hand it to one of them. It tells me they are ready to move on. There is no reason Levi has to play tonight. If one of them was going to be his partner next year you play that guy as a little reward for sitting on the sidelines while the season was on the line.

Anyone wanting to know Comrie’s and UPL’s futures in Buffalo there is your answer. It is the last game, a nothing game as far as importance and neither Comrie or UPL , who they didn’t trust down the stretch, get thrown a bone with a start to end the year.

From Mario to Jagr to Malkin to Crosby. Pens have been blessed with special players for a long time. They can suffer through lean years now. No franchise players for them for a while.

Listen to Adams speak on Sabres Live today. Listen to Granato speak the other night. Mitts isn’t going anywhere. If you are hoping for otherwise you will be disappointed.

Like give it a break for a night. Let people enjoy a nice win.

“Big Moment Mitts” Loves those OT situations to end years at home.😀 Great way to finish at home for Anderson.

Johnson is a steady eddy. His game hasn’t really changed the past couple years. There really isn’t anything to evaluate with him that would change his status as a prospect.

They could have went for him but didn’t. They aren’t going to do it now. They don’t want to pay another winger over $9 million. I like the player but NJ gave up a lot for him and will extend him.

He is healthy they are just holding him out so fans can cheer for Bryson like they will for Anderson tonight.😂

He signed 2 days ago but they are keeping it secret to drive you nuts😛 When Thurn wasn’t signing with the Ducks and Brind’Amour with the Oilers they made announcements about it. No news means they are probably going back and forth on things.

VO the new Leino😜

Adams could have already made a decision. He is not obligated to make a statement saying they are not signing Johnson. Like some have mentioned, it probably has come down to Johnson thinks he is NHL ready and the Sabres do not.

Hopefully Anderson is in net for his sendoff. He has been a great soldier the past two years and gave them the best goaltending over that two year span even at his advanced hockey age.

Meier isn’t a UFA. He will be an RFA for NJ after the season.

Outside the top 10 I am not blown away by this corps. This would be a year to move it for a long term piece

It’s basically a 3rd round pick. Not much value. Someone in the organization must not like him if this is what is going on.

First order of business is locking up Dahlin and Power to long term contracts. Also Mitts is extended. For me I have two free agent targets: 1) Varlamov. He is mid 30s and has been consistent at a position that sees many ebbs and flows each year. Overpay a bit on a 2 year deal for a 1A/1B situation. If not Freddie Andersen or Annti Raanta are secondary options. 2) Ryan Graves. He is 6’5, 220lbs and would be their 2nd Muel. He would solidify the 3rd pairing with Boosh. Good in his zone, good on the pk, will clear the net, has played well in NJ’s upscale system, has playoff experience. He checks so many boxes. The other area is top 4 dman. This I look for through trade. My assets are 2023 1st, Joker, UPL, VO at 50% retained, one of the 2nds, prospects not named Savoie, Kulich, Östlund. Im going to look at a couple teams looking for change and having cap issues. First is Calgary. Huberdeau and Weegar’s big deals are kicking in and Lindholm has to be signed. Rasmus Andersson would be ideal but I don’t think they move him. Hanifin is the target. One year left on his deal. I need to be able to talk to his reps and make sure he is interested in extending and what that is. If those lineup then I trade for Hanifin. 2023 1st And Joker is my offer. Hanifin is a LHD but with his skating I have no doubt him and Power can interchange sides. If that doesn’t work out then I pivot to Vegas who are in cap he’ll yet again. My target is Shea Theodore. Again I offer the first and Joker or VO at 50% retained or a prospect not drafted in the first last year. Theodore can play both sides and is very mobile. Would work well in Buffalo’s system. Up front I don’t do too much. Savoie might push his way into the team, same with Rousek. What Okposo wants to do is up to him. I am counting on big jumps for JJ and Quinn plus Mitts continuing his rise. Skinner Tage Tuch JJ Cozens Quinn Greenway Mitts Savoie Rousek Krebs Okposo/Girgs Jost Muel Dahlin Power Hanifin/Theodore Graves Boosh Stillman Varlamov Levi

VO at 50% retained for the season will have some value.

A lot of you saying today Adams did nothing or I know he will do nothing this summer. So take over the role and get it down in writing. What would you do this summer to move this team forward. And be specific, who are you acquiring, what assets are you using to acquire them and what do you do when the free agent or GM of the other team says no? I’ll hang up and listen.

I was watching the Pens feed. The announcers were just in disbelief that they lost. And it was final home game so all these fans came on the ice and they players had to come back out and give their sweaters away and take pictures. You could see that they were all dying inside. It was so awkward to see.

Get home safe

Lol 3-1 Hawks with 8 minutes left

Yes Graves is a UFA this summer.
