2017 Free Agent Frenzy

As we near free agency, Sabres captain Brian Gionta still wants to play in Buffalo. Pending UFA is hoping to find way to make it happen.

I honestly hope he's gone

@SabresBuzz
Kassian's new $1.95M AAV ($5.85M total) comparable for RFA Foligno, Girgensons. Marcus earned $1.875M, Zemgus earned $1.150M AAV last season

Agreed.  This team screamed of dysfunction last season.  He was the captain.

Yup. Scorch the earth. Him, Gorges, Bogo, and Moulson need to all be off this team. Bogo and Gionta for locker room issues, Moulson and Gorges cause they suck 

“I think Columbus is out looking for one more scorer. I think they’re hanging around Kovalchuk. I think they’re going to try to see if they can get someone else, and then they’ll circle back on him.

 

“I think Columbus is sending a message that they’re going for the Stanley Cup in the next two years – big time.” - Friedman

I think we give Bonino a three year deal for 9 mil to be our third line center and PK specialist. Take some pressure off of ROR.  May be a little more than some would want to pay, but I believe good value for a third line center who can score 15-2- goals.

 

I would also like to see them go after RW Brett Connolly to replace Gionta as 3rd pairing RW.  Veteran who can score 10-15 goals.  Could get under good contract like 4 years at 8 million.

 

Still would like to see them move Kane or Reinhart for Dumba or Vatanen.

Predictions on which Sabre-spacer completely loses it when we sign Girardi to a three-year deal to be our shutdown second-pair d-man?

I no longer believe in shut down defenders. The best way to beat Crosby is to keep the puck away from him, not try to shut him down once he has it. It is why the Bills never beat Brady, they stupidly give him the back.
