He would be a good pickup.

Kyrou’s NTC kicked in at midnight.

Gavrikov is going to the Rangers supposedly 

Agree on the other two 

Ahh so Kyrou isn’t coming here as he’d be here already. Still expecting Byram to be traded, probably for an underwhelming return if Adams stays to form

I wonder if Gavrikov signs with the Rangers almost immediately if the NHL goes after the Rangers for tampering.

 

 

 

LOL who am I kidding.

Same could be said if Lyon signs with us immediately. I imagine the gm’s talk “generalities” with the agents well before noon today. “Would your LW from Dallas entertain offers from Buffalo today at noon.” If not move on to suter in Vancouver, if so “great you might see an offer for 2 years 12 million from us at lunchtime.

talking generalities without naming names

The Sabres are about to lose their 2026 1st for signing Alex Lyon as a punishment for tampering

The Red Wings have had so many goalies over the last couple of years that they won’t even notice he’s gone.

Is this for real???  The NHL needed to make an example of some team. Better us than their darlings in Las Vegas.

I’m joking, but it better not come to fruition

I would honestly no longer support the nhl. Vegas clearly tampered and has before but they come down on us over a backup goalie, no reason to support a league like that. I'll watch more PWHL

I tried to Google search and found one post on Bluesky. Either a coincidence or it's your post. 😂

So no Richards?

Stop joking! My first instinct is to believe negative news about this raggedy franchise. And my second instinct is to not believe positive news about this raggedy franchise. If you continue with this foolery, you will have a big ugly and hairy Italian visit you carrying a bat to your place of residence. When you ask him what do you want he will proceed to hit a homerun off of our left kneecap. Capiche!!!!! 😁

He'd be a better defensemen than Timmins.  🤣😅

We gotta get ehlers. No choice

However, the player has a choice. And he is not choosing to go to the ghetto.

Buffalo offers 11x7 and Carolina offers 9.5x7, pretty sure he chooses Carolina.  I think Boeser would take the pay day IMO.

No chance - Granlund or Suter more likely still unlikely

Not that interested in Boeser although... I SAID WE SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED HIM. 

okay, I just had to get that out but I don't think Boeser helps us because he would be another RW behind Tuch and Thompson. Idk if playing his offside is a thing for him, guess if it is than I would take a run at him but we need a LW.

I understand that LG.  I'm just going with to vibe of a guy who seems like he'd come to Buffalo for a payday.  We need a LW for sure.

As it goes for goalies, I think Lyon is one of the better tries into getting one solid enough, maybe he has a good season.

Oh, how far have we sunk, since the days of Miller and Hasek 

Our G situation is similar to the Bills QB situation, post Kelly - pre Allen 

Hoping one of these "unsures" pans out 😢

He could have a jump in his game (doubtful he'll have great number behind this Sabres defensive lineup, although they'll be better this season in their own zone with Cozens/JJP swapped out). But thus far, he's still only a backup goalie and he's never been a starter (unlike Reimer/Anderson). Anderson had been a great goalie in his prime.
