The only thing that makes sense to me is Levi's deal re-set the table a bit. Imagine there are some GM's not too happy with the bonuses he handed out on that.

(frank) other GM’s. This isn’t a make friends business it’s not like they gave him a Deshaun Watson fully guaranteed contract or anything he gave him the max allowable per the CBA, IIRC

Yeah, if they tried to play hard ball and he is now going elsewhere, that's a big strike against KA if we're being fair. I had heard several times it was a done deal as well, so there's something going on.

we keep tossing this narrative and it keeps reaching the same point.

btw Sam was playing through injury and now there is no longer a reason for him to play.

Is it? Levi got comparable bonuses to Savoie. I'm sure Johnson and his agent noticed.

I assure you there is no hardball being played here.

Nice

He did. Sutter's coaching style once again sank the Flames and inflated the value of all of his defenders.

If they're looking to retool their team (I'd definitely not rebuild there) he could be a prime target. For the Sabres, he absolutely should be if there's any inkling that they'd be willing to listen.

You're right that they shouldn't trade him. But as mentioned, if they decide to listen, prepare to throw the sink at them. Offer Kulich.

You are out of your mind, some people just shouldn't be allowed to discuss trades.

Anything is possible, but the Sabres aren't the only team offering contracts like that to college players.

Here's another example:

We are definitely going to need to part with prospects/players we like, in order to upgrade the roster with quality players. I’m not saying I like that specific trade proposal but trades need to happen, and some are going to hurt a little.

Is Biro still hurt, he's missed like 10 of the last 12 games or so, Kulich has been taking his spot a lot.

So is tonight just a another game, or does this game get chippy.

I was listening to the Power Play on XM radio yesterday with that moron Steve Kouluos and Marty Biron. Biron was asked about the Sabres goaltending of the future and Biron said " The Sabres will have to figure out who there goalie of the future is going to be". You can't make this stuff up folks.

Adam’s going galaxy brain. If 2 goalies over 82 games is, 41 games per goalie and that’s good, 27 games for 3 goalies has to be better…. Plus an extra game for the best of the 3…. Dumb…
