Makes sense and pretty solid choice given the thin goalie market The journeyman is known as a good goaltending partner and a reliable No. 2. He moves around the crease well and has put together some strong NHL stretches, basically getting the Florida Panthers into the playoffs with a hot run at the end of 2022-23, when he briefly supplanted Sergei Bobrovsky. Lyon made 74 appearances for Detroit across the last two seasons. now, trade Byram for Kyrou, sign Gavrilov (unlikely), Lindgren or Orlov (I really like him, some do not) and that’s a really decent offseason

Great for for us but too pricey I’m sure. Can’t have 3 d making 30million I wouldn’t think. Forces our hand on Byram too of course

Sticking with Granlund but choice 2 is Pius Suter

10. I think the Sabres roster is mostly set with one or two more minor additions to come before the focus shifts to re-signing their restricted free agents. This is unacceptable

Don't forget Oloffson

Not quite correct - The Bills could always compete financially because all 32 teams divide TV revenues equally which is the majority of the owners profits

Granlund - isn't it obvious

Fair

Seems reasonable - like the Jeannot idea a lot if we can get rid of another 3rd/4th liner. Pernic doesn’t make as much sense as the last thing we need now is another RHD

And it was a bad UFA pool to begin with. The list I looked at had Oloffson at 22 and skinner at 30. That’s a sad list

I think Dahlin is a tough beaaatch and would hold up fine. And, more importantly, if we were playing FLA in the playoffs wouldn’t it have to be in the conference finals? Crazy friggin talk man……dream big

Isn’t that why it’s a sign (by Toronto) and a trade to Vegas?

Let’s have fun and make some Sabres predictions for the UFA next few days My prediction: Granlund lw/c 2/12millon Ilya Samsonov g 2/4 million Dmitri Orlov lhd 3/18 million Byram traded for a 2026 1st rd pick to ANA, lottery protected makes for a much better/much more experienced team and Granlund and orlov are character guys

There you go, KA certainly likes throwing away 2nd rounders for marginal returns. Only good thing is I’ve liked his recent 3rd rounders: strbak and the mean kid this year

Rosen and his 0G, 1A -6 in 25 nhl games doesn’t have gm’s salivating his AHL numbers are okay but nothing great he’s just a partial wiff of a 1st rd pick ….it happens

Even Kevin isn’t capable of something that bad. i say Byram re-upped for 2/$12: Granlund signed for the same 2/$12 and Ilya Samson’s 2/$5m

Yep I’m wrong - sorry/ read and article that had it wrong

They can officially talk to players now and announce deals. Can’t officially sign the player until noon tomorrow

Harrington’s a tool. He’s all over the board - sometimes he attacks the Sabres, sometimes he kisses their butts and is an apologists, often over the same thing. The one thing I give him credit for is he asks good, non-fluff questions sometimes in press conferences.

9 minutes …..hold on tight the ride is about to begin For you old timers who remember crystal beach ….not a ride like the comet or the mighty mouse or even that underrated yellow roller coaster. More like the spinning cups where you spin round and round, get sick and end up going nowhere

Cuz one team is a perennial superbowl challenger with Josh Allen and the other team is a perennial lucky lottery winner who would die to play golf with Josh Allen. If you don’t get my reference for the last part, it’s from the lengthy tage interview recently done

I’m assuming they’re losing Provolov to UFA so they prob do need a dman. Provolov wouldn’t be a bad partner for Dahlin btw.

Well Jaro knows CLB well. Dmitri Voronkov Is the only LW of interest on their roster. 48 points last year, young (24) and huge 6’5”. Not sure he’s 1st line material and if CLB traded him their Laws would look hideous

20 hours away!!! Don’t hold your breadth - KA’s first move will happen aim august

Nope - Robertson is much better fit
