Ellis, Wilford, Appert…organizational status quo. Expect more of the same in terms of the roster come this summer.

Isn’t Oloffson considered Sabres property until the day FA begins?

Walk into an M&T branch and need a customer service rep. Instead of getting someone in a cubicle, I get a staffer at a standing desk not even 3 feet from where others are waiting. Sorry, but I don’t need others to hear about my finances.

For a top 6 or even an above average 3C with term, it might have to be 11 + prospect(or Joker).

Not for bottom 6 forwards. 3-4 new forwards not currently on the Sabres/Amerks/Jrs need to be brought in this summer.

There was also a deaf wrestler on Canadian wrestling. His name escapes me.

Only a WNY geezer(and Ontario geezers) would remember Billy Red Lyons. 😊

Maybe I am nitpicking, but a “little bit more physicality and a little bit more grit”? 😂😂😂 How about replacing “little bit” with “ A LOT”. Statements like this make me believe they will sign maybe one grit guy for the bottom 6, and then run it back with the same crap or promote from Rochester. Prove me wrong KA.

Yes!!! 😂

Maybe we should leave this as an open thread to discuss all “geezer” related issues? 😂😂😂

My options are limited because my retirement health insurance goes through the state…including the Medicare plans…but thx anyways.

Awesome!! You should be my inspiration.

What is the name of the ranting Leaf fan?

Fixed your post. 😉

Matthew Fairburn of the Athletic with a bunch of players who could be signed to remake the bottom 6. https://theathletic.com/5458480/2024/04/30/sabres-free-agent-targets/ If you don’t have a subscription, here are the names(without cutting and pasting the entire article)… Dakota Joshua Anthony Mantha Stefan Noesen Ryan Lomberg William Carrier Warren Foegele Yakov Trenin Teddy Blueger Tyler Motte Kiefer Sherwood Christian Fischer Brandon Duhaime

Very sad for anyone who grew up watching HNiC. 😞

We stayed at a condo complex in Florida for a few weeks this winter. Wife had told me the ladies room bathroom in the pool area had an empty soap dispenser for several days. So the next morning I see one of the staff that cleaned the pool bathrooms daily. I said to him, “the ladies room bathroom…”, he cuts me off and replies…”no speak english” and walks away. 🖕🏻

After reading the two Athletic articles on this clown who owned the Coyotes, there is no way the NHL is ever going back to Phoenix with him as the owner….even if they have to fund(behind the scenes) a campaign to prevent a new arena from happening within this 5 year window.

Cost of everything. 😡 Glad we had our kitchen remodeled 3 years ago. I can only imagine what the cost would be today.

Everyone said the same thing about Diggs. 😉

The question is, what will Adams do about it? 🤞🏻

I agree, and said it in another thread…I am way more worried about Adams building a playoff roster than I am about Lindy as HC.

The Sabres are not up against the cap, so I would buyout Skinner this offseason. The numbers are not outrageous... https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator/jeff-skinner I have no interest in re-signing Jost, Clague, Comrie, Olofsson, Girgensons, Bryson, Stillman. Maybe Robinson at a reduced salary. Trade Joker alone or in a package for forward help. Trade 1st pick for forward help or RHD. Kulich, Rosen, Savoie, Östlund, etc...all in Rochester to start the season Top 6(no particular line combos) Cozens, Thompson, Peterka, Quinn, Tuch & ??? Bottom 6 + 13th & 14th forwards(no particular combos) Greenway, Benson, Krebs, ???, ???, ???, ??? & ??? Top 6 defenseman + 7th & 8th(no particular pairings) Dahlin(L), Byrum(L), Power(L), Clifton(R), Johnson(L), ???, ??? & ??? Assuming 2 goalies, that leaves 8 spots to be filled with most important being a top 4 RHD, a top 6 LW/RW, solid 2 way 3C, and a LOT of 4th line grit.

I would bet the house that Lindy has been promised a FO position if either he decides after two years he is done as a HC, or the progress is just not there.

Big difference…Max was never overpaid to the tune of several million dollars. Buyout ASAP!
