Would have been nice to have Reinhart on a LT deal. If you avoid locking Dahlin up and it proves to be the right choice because he's underserving of a significant deal, we are in trouble on the back end anyways. That's not to say you have to lock him up long term right now, but to me it would be a positive thing to see. It would indicate belief in the player and it would leave me hopeful we'd be in line for a reasonable bargain down the line. Of course Dahlin would come in under 8.45, though, I'd say. They can bridge Dahlin, but they certainly need to get their act together on ice in the W column if they do so. If not, he'll just be the next Reinhart we have "no choice but to move" because he has the contract leverage and little interest in re-upping with a bad team.

It's a big contract, but not way out there for where he's at and his value to them. Heiskanen has taken a step back since Edited July 18, 2021 by Thorny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres don't need to capitalize on opportunities to grab win-now players from teams in a bind because the Sabres aren't interested in win-now players. Adams has said reportedly, repeatedly that he's only interested in futures in the trades he's making. I'm not sure how much more of a tip-off "blinding light from the youth" could have been - he doesn't want to mess with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I want them to re sign Ullmark and get another good goalie. Ullmark still has some upside and his numbers could be solid with a healthy season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drury looks like a true ass even offering that. He's going to get blacklisted if He continues that Garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Dahlin's game has convinced you that he deserves this kind of money and is a definite can't miss? imo if there was ever a candidate for a bridge deal he is it. I wanted to draft him, I will admit that, and he has talent, but so far I am disappointed with what I expected. Fortunately, it's still early, but I'm having doubts.

But Tampa had wiggle room in that they didn't need to be at 100%; they just needed to be good enough to make the playoffs. Moe-ray-all has about a gnat-sized amount of wiggle room. Especially if Seattle calls their bluff on Price, this could really bite them in the butt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Montreal knows their window is closed and was never actually open so they wouldn’t mind ridding themselves of Price’s contract to free that money up. I wish they had more appealing pieces so we could hear about Jack becoming the American savior to Canadien hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabrefanday1 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 As a Canadian (sometimes proud, other times just kinda in the middle) I do think our whole situation is with COVID 19 is entirely different then that of the US. Here (Canada) we are blessed and lucky to have an amazing health-care system that is basically free and there for us top use whenever and however we please. I suffered a nasty massive heart attack back in 2010 (complete 100% blockage which they like to call the widow-maker). Our healthcare system was and continues to be so efficient and looks after me anytime I need anything. Conversely, many Americans cannot afford the health care they really need but their government does not really care as they do not pay for their healthcare as Canada's does, Here raising cases means many more in hospitals and that costs our government tons so in some senses it is cheaper to lockdown and lose that revenue then it is to open up and have to contend with massive heathcare costs. I read somewhere that they figure many many US citizens died of COVID at home as they simply could not afford to go to the hospital. We do however have a Premier here in Ontario that is trying to look good and open up when it may be very dangerous and silly to do so at this time. This whole bloody COVID thing is such that no matter what any government does they look stupid or wrong. Anyways back to the Sabres do you all not think Seattle would be better off with Borgen then Miller? Of course if Seattle takes Will then tries to send him to their AHL team he would have to clear waivers I believe and we could claim him back as we'd get first dibs (I also believe).
