So essentially we have $6M to spend? I’d rather KA not trade Bryson so we’re not shopping big names.

Had to turn off NHL network. Just not feeling the frenzy.

Sign Byram and get Cuylle and I’d be content.

Did KA shed salary so he could match a Byram offer? Could that be why he can’t make a move?
Or is that giving him too much credit?

Jake Allen at $1.8M stays in NJ.

I find the “too critical” reason hard to believe. Then again I find most everything out of the media hard to believe.

Harrington on XM yesterday said Sabres would like to keep him at least on a short term deal. Was mentioned by someone the market not as strong as originally thought. Issues are Byram wanting to be a 1 and money Sabres have tied up in the D already. Byram could increase his value significantly playing a couple years with Dahlin.

Kiefer sherwood of the LW variety and 40 points which we don't need (though he shoots right)? I don't think he moves the needle at all (or very much anyway) and doesn't help us towards the playoffs. And you create another huge hole by trading Byram
I became enamored by his 460 hits last year. Next closest was Olivier at 305. Don’t follow Vancouver so could that be incorrect? Regardless I agree we’d have a need at D but figured we could pick up a stay at home guy in the $2-$3M range.

Now go get Sherwood and Demko from Vancouver and we’re in the playoffs. That’s the kind of trade I’d be okay with Byram and ?

Marginally better but don’t see the playoffs as it stands.

Jarmo? so you'd be blaming him for this? He's been on the job for 5 minutes. How about blaming Pegula and KA? If you trade Byram you better have a rock solid plan set up for UFA (Ekblad, Provorov, Orlov, Fabbro).
They’ve been blamed long ago - I need someone new. It was /s.

If Byram is traded and the expectation is he’s backfilled from within, I’ll have lost any and all faith in Jarmo.

Loved his “I bring my heart” answer. Even though he’s 4 years away if he has a solid development track it does allow us to trade RHDs in the system ahead of him.

If Miles Wood has as much as a 1 team NTC, guarantee Buffalo is on that list.
Randy was not happy about the way his departure went.
Randy? What departure?

I’d like to see Miles Wood in a Sabres jersey. Was hoping we’d have made a move before Colorado picked him up.

If Byram gets traded don’t we revert to needing a top 4 D man again? Unless we get an offer that knocks our socks off there’s no need to trade him.

This is why i don’t really agree with the Adams hot seat stuff. He’s probably been allotted a mere half the amount of time he needs to right this
I imagine TP’s daughter is getting an earful of “you need a better face to the franchise” at the governors meeting. This could justify kicking KA up to a behind the scenes role (POHO?) and promoting Jarmo to GM and new face to the public. A strong off season could facilitate that.

In the running for most positive initial reactions to a sabres trade I’ve seen, overwhelmingly positive at nearly 2-1. Say what you want about Adams but the more time goes by the more his work is being greeted with praise
I think this one has Lindy’s fingerprints all over it.
-
I think Sabres may have paid a little goodwill for now, but I like the trade. KA is finally adding the types of players needed to succeed. Add these two to Dahlin, Tage, Tuch, Zucker, and Norris and we are building a proper NHL core.
As good as JJ is on O, we needed a trade like this. We’re a better team today.

Guessing JJ wanting out was a mutual feeling with Lindy with Hamilton saying JJ didn’t like Lindy. Wild guess is they disagreed over defense.
Ignoring the return (and as a wise poster above mention 30 other GMs had a chance to offer more), this trade seems to trend our team toward playing NHL type hockey.

What Was the Multiple Day Presentation that Adams Layed Out For Pegula to Save His Job
in The Aud Club

I’m guessing when he came on board KA and TP developed a 5 year build through the draft plan. I think the 91 point season was unexpected. That said I believe after this year we’ll have a new GM as i think since TP was part of the plan, he may feel an obligation to KA.
I could be nuts but it’s the only explanation I can come up with.
