IMHO - top 6 forwards are easier to find vs. top 4 D-men

So without Risto, that leaves us with: Dahlin - future all-star McCabe - another 3/4 IMHO BOGO - will be a UFA after next season? Scandella - should be a 5/6 Beaulieu - 5/6 if he is even here after Monday Hunwick - 5/6 and not getting any younger Nelson - can't crack the current lineup Pilut - too small Guhle - still waiting for him to stick with the big boys Borgen - interesting but not sure when we'll see him Laksonan (?) - who knows Samuelsson (?) - who knows Risto maybe more a 3/4 to your point, problem is that we can't expect to contend with the list above unless another name appears not currently in the system.

Suicide on the Sabres part. Point is gonna want a huge pay raise in a year or two. Callahan's contract does not help, not interested in another salary dump.

Nothing to see here....move on!

Bad idea. Tampa has got a good thing going. Changing their makeup now is a solution in search of a problem.

True, but everytime Duclair is moved it seems like people rave about his 'abilities'. Each time there is new hope a change of scenery will unlock that potential, but it does not work out. Columbus is the latest failed experiment and now he's off to what, his 5th team?

Agreed...I am curious as well about the amount of waiver activity today. Seems to me it is a decent indicator of who is buying (vs. selling) tomorrow.

Duclair - maybe a good risk if cheap enough. That being said, he to me is the modern day ALEXANDRE DAIGLE.

Maybe potentially a little bidding war between Tampa and Pittsburg for Beaulieu? I wish it was Scandella instead.

Great game by Samson and Hutts. Inspirational award to Skinner.

Mad-hatter! Kind of ironic....getting a Hat-Trick against the "CAPS"!

If I can picture myself as a teammate, I would be incredibly jack-up coming out for the 3rd period. If this team has a pulse, they had to be energized by Skinner's return.

Could be due to his years of training in figure skating?

If you go back out again, Okposo Mittelstadt and Scandella will be back as well! :)

How the hell did Samson deflect that! Wow....impressed!

Nothing Hutton could do on that one.

Self-quoting myself....my apologies to Dr. Brian Duff!

Miracle in Buffalo 2/23/19

Schoeny, Korab, later on Playfair....we had some stout D-man back then!

The only Sabre in the building capable of doing that is not on the Sabres's bench, but next to it....#32 himself. :)

Dr. Brian Duff referring to Skinner.....with an "apparent" injury. I am in awe of his brilliance!

They need to win the 3rd period and game for Skinner! Got to have something to rally for.

This and maybe the reputation of the Sabres being a soft team....There will not be any payback or retribution from a Buffalo player.

Crazy thought, but maybe a PP without Skinner will force a new strategy....which may also still fail miserably, but at least the coaching staff has to make an adjustment.

Trying to figure out if it was cheap or accidental.... DVR replay tells me it is his left lower leg/ankle
