You have to wonder/have concern in the back of your head will Adams have the guts to make these trades when it comes time to be a Stanley Cup contender. Not saying trades have to be done now nor should Adams pay these absurd prices but I do believe at some point to win the cup you are going to have to make trades to go for it.

Its going to be an interesting off season for Buffalo that is for sure.

what is that defense

What the hell is wrong with the Sabres?

You're only going to get 10 more points this season?

Time to blow it up and rebuild.

They never get anything right so I'll say the opposite is more true and we go closer to 20 & 4 the rest of the way rather than 4 & 20.

Colton Parayko on the move

- TheSabresTaco

I would take boquist

I’d take a run at him.

@JFreshHockey
Parayko has a no trade clause and is just starting an eight year deal. Surprised he'd be willing to move anywhere tbh

I’d take a run at him.
- ImThatGuy

He'll be 37 at the end of that deal...no thanks

I dont care how old a guy will be if it makes the team closer to a cup

Bloom has value, not sure why Adams wouldn't package him for someone like Chychrun usless Adams is done and we have our Bob Corkum.
- sabresfan69

Damn, Bob Corkum, now there's a name I didn't think I'd hear today.

Good thing we wouldn’t have to worry about that for 6 years.

Adams, you stay away from Parayko now, ya hear?!

Good thing we wouldn’t have to worry about that for 6 years.

- hubie

OK - I get that. I guess if he can be had cheap it kind of makes sense. I worry more about paying Dahlin and Power as well as all of the others we want to hold on to when we are paying someone who could be potentially past their prime in a few years 6.5mil. Cup isn't coming this year or next. If he had 3-4 years left I'd be all over it. 8 is way too much. Just my humble opinion.
Of course, who says we are holding onto Quinn, Mids or Krebs? Maybe they are the place holders for the next group and paying someone like that in the end makes sense.

on waivers
