Adams said he was Lindy’s idea because Lindy coached him in NJ. So I’m sure we will see him in the lineup for a handful of games anyways

Utah just signed McBain to a 5 year deal after electing arbitration with him.

Leafs got worse losing Marner.

You are right but they run it through the point because Dahlin is the only one that can run it. They have no high hockey IQ/playmakers that can run it from anywhere up front or the sidewall.

Who was this offer sheet coming from? 4 things: 1) You need all your own pick next year to make one. 2) You have to be a team that is confident you will make the playoffs next year and have enough cap space to fit Byram’s salary in. 3) Next year is the McKenna draft. No team with a lot of cap space is going to risk handing their unprotected first to Buffalo and watch them win the lottery with it and draft McKenna. 4) Sabres aren’t in a Cap crunch so they can match the offer. The offer sheet was made up by Byram’s agent and spoon feed to Dreger to release publicly. Notice that all the other insiders disputed that one would come.

This is all fantasy. Not one credible source has brought up Kadri as being available.

Trade Byram for a good forward, sign Grezlyck to pair with Dahlin. Prosper

I don’t care how you feel. But after 14 years of failure you don’t get to dictate how people express themselves on this board, okay?

So you love where the team is at? 0 for the last 14 years at even a playoff birth and everything is great.

Apparently he was part of the package they offered Calgary for Rasmu Andersson.

Kyrou’s full No Trade kicked in July 1st. He’s going nowhere

Whoever Adams, fresh off signing a 5 year extension, feel like choosing at 7.😁

It won’t move the needle for them. They are like the 80s-90s Blues. Always good enough to get in but not good enough to get to where they want to go ultimately

Byram for Neighbors and Fowler. Blues have to shed cap. Anyway to flip them UPL for Hofer?😝 Neighbors would give them a hard to play winger that could get 25-30 goals and you can plug Fowler next to Dahlin. Might be the best realistic return they can hope for.

If you have to go back that far then you prove my point😁

Adams: “Hey Terry I need to go the washroom you think that’s OK?” Pegula: “1 or 2?” Adams: “It’s going to be a number two. Might be a while” Pegula: “OK go ahead. And Kevyn, thanks for keeping me in the loop. Communication is key here with the Buffalo Sabres

Don’t know that yet. McQueen has the health issues and Mrtka has a ton of upside. Kid is very young for the draft and hasn’t played a ton of high level, coached up hockey and still was Seattle’s go to dman when he came over during the season. Wait a couple years and see.

Rosen. Some people didn’t like the pick but he is a good prospect. If they don’t see a spot for him they need to move him for a player that can help now. Also no idea what the story with Poltapov is. Another Sabres 2nd round pick that is trending towards not going anywhere. Also this should have probably been Benson’s first year on the Sabres. I agree with you that there needs to be a focus on forward draft picks moving forward.

It just boggles my mind that Pegula is 0 for 14 at the playoffs and still walks around with pride for owning the team

I think the JJ trade will turn out like the Savoie trade. Everyone around hockey fandom will say “The Sabres got destroyed” in the trade but after a season it turns out that the Sabres did very well. Fans will enjoy what Kesserling and Doan bring to the team.

True but if you look back the Sabres organization has no idea how to draft in the 2nd round either.

If you bridge him for 2 years then he is a UFA. Sign him for one year and let the new FO figure it out after they miss the playoffs again and everyone is let go because their contracts are up. Thats the way to run an organization 😳

Johnson would be fine as a 6 or 7th dman this season. People get into this headspace that 3rd pairing Dmen and 4th line players have to be spectacular.
