Paul Hamilton just said he expects GMKA to sign Okie to a one year extention. Horrible...

Nice contract by Guerin.

I'd really like them to aim high for both the Cozens winger in your layout and the top 4 (maybe top 2) defender.

It's nice that they're turning clunkers into cash, so to speak, with finding players like Jost and Stillman, but it's time to go bigger in terms of targets, and look to bring in another high impact forward and defenseman.

Yeah, tried to tell ya.

Especially with the team losing Anderson, they need them their dad.

So next year

Tuch-Tage-Skinner
Xxx-Cozens-Quinn
Peterka-Mitts-Greenway
Xxx-Krebs-xxx

Dahlin-Sammy
Power-xxx
Boosh-Stillman

Levi
Xxx


How much of those xxx are internal?

If KO comes back I’m only paying him a mil if that. And he’s the 13th forward.

I think we are crazy not to keep
Mitts with Tuch and Skinner. It adds some balance and stability to top 6
Krebs is too good to be a 4th line player.
Greenway is a 4th line player

Tuch/Mitts/Skinner
Tage/Cozens/Quinn
JJ/Krebs/??
Greenway/??/??

It was a really nice touch to send that retiring Sabres employee up to the booth with Duffer and Marty. They have really done things right the second Ralph was poop canned.

Tage is going back up there. Donnie was trying some things and Tage is playing through a tough injury. Mitts has done an awesome job holding it down. Get him back on the wing though. His utility as a LW/C is going to get him paid, probably next year.

Anyone catch the lightsabers on Levi's helmet

I think we could all see this coming. It really should surprise no one.

While not a fan of this (probable) move, there are far worse things they could've done or can do to this team moving forward into next season, such as not bringing in a good, vet goalie and/or finding a true partner for Power.

KO on your 4th line is what it is.

That’s cringe to reed and to imagine for an NHL locker room

1 year 1 million. That’s what I’m doing if he wants to come back. He’s 13th forward that plays if others need a break he plays.

1 year, who cares what the celery is. It won't be that much and they could pay him 10M and it wouldn't affect anything. Hyperbole but you get it.

Do you strip him of his captaincy?

Sure but I want this team to act like a big boy club and act like winning is the top priority not a feel good codddlefest. Also Hyperbole but you get it.

Corey Perry went from making 9 mil to 1.
Others have as well.

I don’t need Okposo on this team, and I don’t think the Sabres need him either.

- Powerslave

I wouldn’t call it stripping, I’d say to him he’s done enough to grow the locker room and the new group is ready to take over.

He can still be part of the club, and be a behind the scenes leader if he’d like but the team will be Turing over its captaincy to the new young core.

Pretty wild what he has done since the New Year hit, he could hit 60pts with a 3pt game against Columbus tonight. Gonna be fun to see what this team looks like out of Camp next year.

Good ole snickerdoodle...

Ouch, so one extra of Weissbach, Biro, Murray, Kulich or Rousek will be down on the farm so Kyle can get his last hoorah. As was mentioned, it isn't the end of the world, but it isn't good either. He's washed.

This is where I disagree. I also understand where you're coming from. But I think they need him in there.

Rousek may be up here. Kulich probably won't be unless he burns the house down in camp.

If he’s done enough why does a group of men need a dad, who isn’t even captain?

Fair enough. I wouldn't mind seeing the next captain have the former captain in the room to bounce things off of.

trade for foligno.

Congrats to Craig Anderson on a terrific career. Classy to the end. Always well respected and a true professional.
