Curious to know the cost

Full disclaimer, he doesn't interest me that much.

What’s the allure?  Seems like he’s a bottom of the roster guy without the requisite physical game.

China and Russia.  Seems like the NSA should be checking in on him, not the Sabres.

Who has never played close to an entire season with a list of injuries as the cause.

He is a RFA at the end of the season, which would be enticing to Adams. He's not a scorer, he's not a PKer.

He had one hot month (Dec 2023) with 7 goals in 14 games (in a season with 16 goals). That was it.

Pass.

There's the Jarmo connection an at 24 this kid has a chance to only get better. Yet to me his middle forward that best suited for 3rd line but looking for 2nd line minutes. Maybe with the Zucker injury we might add him but Columbus not looking for picks and not sure we have players to give.

So essentially every team from our division?

Does Columbus need a goalie?

Why? He's played 4 years in the NHL already. Looks like a 30pt who can't stay healthy.

Adams offered Doan and a 1st for him.
