I could see this team really doing well in a long playoff grind. The more they play, the better they do, it seems.
Though if they do blow out a team, a long layoff might kill them
If we get a hot goalie this team could make a run. Just don't want to face Boston in the first round I'd much rather get Car

Jenner and Gavrikov And Korpisalo Oh My!
There are a lot of Rumors that Sabres are looking at Korpisalo. And Friedman said the Sabres night add a faceoff specialist on the 32 Thoughts podcast.
What?

Did we think we were getting his father? Or did his dad want him in our organization so we can get something from the canes?

Would you be willing to include Quinn in a deal for Chychrun? I wouldn't. Arizona is not going to deal him for chump change. They are going to want multiple high end prospects. I wouldn't recommend paying that price. I would prefer pursuing a Lyubushkin third pairing caliber player to bolster the blue line.
Luke schenn is your man.

Gotta hope he can be back for playoffs. Get on the phone and try and replace him. Talbot, schenn, Meier

They suggest the Sabres should be in on this trade. The ask, 2023 1st, Ryan Johnson and Rasmus Asplund. The AAV is bigger than Chychrun, but not that much more. Risk is the 7 years remaining and taking him until he is 36, but the cost (if accurate) is much less for what could be a more stabilizing force for a guy like Power, than Chychrun.
Parayko is low - #30 on TSN trade bait.
Career wise very healthy, signed long term, cup winner. Is he on the decline or just the blues having a bad year? I’d rather have him than chychrun

The interesting thing about Chychrun is because his family and the Pegulas are friends is that when he becomes a UFA they COULD (not would, but could) have a gentleman's agreement to a reasonable deal in the NHL and then him getting a "job" in one of the Pegulas' businesses a year or 2 after he retires that makes his overall pay through the years in line w/ what he could've made playing for a different team.
Again, not saying the Sabres nor he would do such a thing, but it would be pretty tough to make a collusion case against it based on their history.

His cap hit is reasonable through 24-25, he is at a needed position, and like @Weave always says, fans tend to overvalue draft picks. Most years, if a pick is not in the top 5-10, it's pretty hit or miss.
I think it's a heavy price, but I don't think it's out of this world, especially if the team trading for him can spread out the picks (2023 and 2025 or 2024 and 2026 instead of consecutive years). I'm not sure I'd want the Sabres to do it, but I don't think it's crazy.
Big time Bogosian vibes. All the talent but made of glass.

From what I'm reading elsewhere, the ask is two firsts and a solid prospect, so I'm not sure the price is dropping. And they have almost a month.
2 firsts for a guy who can't play near a full season ever. pass.

They gave a first rounder for him? Yikes. He's not the sniper he once was.

Apparently the bulk of this debt is tied to this venture, SolarCode LLC, but I can't seem to find much on the supposed company. In theory, it's a company that uses a solar collector to generate electricity, run a desalinization plant, split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen for further use, and, presumably, cuddle puppies at the same time.
It looks like he tried to bankroll a startup and took out loans to keep it afloat? I'm not really sure. It doesn't even seem like a real company, honestly. The company claims to be headquartered in the US and was incorporated by a legal office (not a surprise if you're trying to stay private, but also not really as common as you'd think) and the listed office seems to be a shared space with a few other questionable companies (so I assume it's just a physical address for incorporation purposes). In the very least, there is no signage out front, but, in all likelihood, the office is just a paper address.
The company further claims to be based out of Switzerland with an additional office in Morocco. I can't find any evidence those offices exist or ever existed for that matter. It claims to have "officers" in Istanbul, Mumbai and Doha. The latter is the only thing so far that checks out.
The LinkedIn page has one employee on it and he's in Doha, Qatar.
The images on the website are literally all stock images with the exception of the technology-diagram which is pretty hilarious to anyone who is an engineer:
But the subcomponents for that diagram are based on images from the website for "Rhino Onward International"--which is at least a slightly-more-real-but-still-mostly-paper company (they have names and faces and people on LinkedIn at least). Case below:
The bread and butter for SolarCode is the power generation in the form of concerntrated solar power via fresnel lens... the same design as the ROI site.
I did find some news about SolarCode's company reps apparently meeting with Libya's Energy Minister, but that was it. I tracked down the solar project later and Libya went with a different company and chose to use PVs instead of concentrated solar.
SolarCode also has a "WasteCode" section about dealing with waste. It uses entirely generated stock images to describe subcomponents (gasifier, conveyers, etc).
There is a section called "HydroCode" which has a stock image of a galaxy and then text. Nothing else. Not even the effort to have subcomponents. But man, read this text:
"SolarCode’s technology introduces ultraviolet (UV) radiation to obtain a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (or hydrogen). The separation of water into the constituent parts by ultraviolet light is carried out from a solid aggregate state (microcrystals of ice water) using this source transmitted in concentration into one or more ice crystals of very low thickness and surface. The consumption of energy with our process is several times smaller (more than a factor of ten) than by electrolysis or other thermal processes. In optimal conditions we will generate approximate 1,800 liters (127.406 kilogram) per kilowatt of input energy."
Finally, there is an AquaCode about desalinization that uses a stock image of a rain drop and doesn't have any subcomponent images. Just text. Such as:
"Desalinator
Heats water by hot air and transforms it into hot steam later cooled."Nice.
It looks like Lehner fell for a scam--or else he wanted to scam Venture Capitalists himself.
You dug farther in than I did. His father is apparently is apparently running the show. Check out this reddit from a couple years back.

So it looks like the main bulk of that debt is from the solar company and perhaps he personally guaranteed those loans. If you go to the companies website they claim to have offices all over the world and based in Arizona. Outside of the website I googled and it doesn't really show any other info on the company. Not sure if they are running a legit company or not as you'd think they'd have more articles out there about projects and what not. Hell the company address in phoenix doesn't even list the company. You'd think if they were taking out 25 million in loans they'd have some sort of legit office.

Would he be a rental? Thought he'd be an RFA. So he could be open to an offer sheet.
i hadn't even thought of that strategy of signing him. we could potentially get 2 firsts, a second and third pick back if a team were to offer sheet him above 8 mil

I'm not opposed to it but why?
more scoring is always a good thing. But he’s a rental. Get rid of mitts and put him on the third line. -
They have a fairly slim margin of error like any team really but they slid off out of the playoffs last year. Tons of injuries and they just couldn't turn it on at the end. The Avs and Oil are on their heels so could be an interesting stretch.

I'm all for the jerseys for whatever group.
I'm also all for allowing people to have their own opinions and beliefs/values.
Many very religious people still don't accept the LGBTQ&*=$ community or whatever it's called now, and they have a right to that. Makes it tough when you're in a position of power or sway in the media (as any athlete) but I think not participating in warm-ups is fair, he didn't openly bash that group and just did what was best for his own values.
It's hard to please everyone in 2023 😂😂
I think it says a lot about society that he’s the only one who didn’t wear the Jersey. Is he the only guy in the league that doesn’t wear it? People getting so upset one guy didn’t wear the jersey and can’t step back and see the progress.
Are the Sabres out of the running for the playoffs?
