Problem number 1: Don’t listen to Andrew peters

This same Andrew peters said he would take 18 pat Kaletas over 18 Sidney Crosby’s
- Sabretooth9

Well, wouldn't surprise me if that was actually true about players calling him

This seems like it isn't going to age well.

So you think upl is good? He’s our next Ryan miller.

If the answer is no. Then I am correct about upl

I’m just saying in general. Never listen to rivet or peters. Ever.

Very old school / old people hockey opinions

You're right, we will follow the word of the mascot (version 9).

Thank you so much for your brilliance, I am a lost puppy without your guidance and highly intelligent sports takes.

How do you know if he won't be

That's fair, it just seems like there's a little tunnel vision if he's the "must have" player. He's probably a 45pt guy here. A good addition, but there's certainly others I'd prefer.
- QuinnFan

Fair point on preferring others, but how many of those others are available, even with a potential overpay?

I can't go for that
no can do

Projected next deals:

Toffoli - 5 years at $6.5M per
Gustafsson - 3 years at $5M per
Chandler Stephenson - 5 years at $5.8M per
- kingcong39

Toffoli is 32 years old. - at 5 years that would be stupid.

Stephen is 30 - Hitting age well. Another bad idea.

No thanks

- Buff36

he also said josh allen was not ready during his first preseason game while not watching the game


so there is that

UPL has way too many holes in his game.

For 15 games of his entire career he played well. The rest. He was a loose cannon and reverted back to old ways.

You aren’t paying upl 6 years for xxx of dollars. No way. If we do. We are in major major trouble

Good. Thank you for your Ted talk about listening to 2 loser hockey players.

2023 Playoff scoring

Marchessault - 26 points - 32 years old
Mark Stone - 24 points - 30 years old

Joe Pavelski - 14 points in 14 games- 38 years old

Yeah, he may have just been using us to drive prices up, but he seemingly entertained coming here last time around. With Tampa heading towards a rebuild themselves, maybe we can entice him? I might just be sipping the kool-aid again.
- QuinnFan

Like Mark Twain said, the rumors of Tampas demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Like Boston, best to stop predicting their impending doom until it actually happens.

Yeah, they really shoulda held back from trying to win the last few years

Montour will probably be gone

Panthers UFAs to be that KA should have an eye on to help bottom 6,
Kevin Stenlund bottom 6 center, good on the PK, can chip in some offense.
Steven Lorentz*, a good Buffalo name, hustling, hard working with some skill. He’s been odd man out a lot of the season, but has shown well when he plays

And I think Lomberg is up for a new deal.


*and Lorentz is pronounced Lawrence, so he might be meant to be a Sabre

Is your goaltender making $10M a year an issue or not ?

It absolutely is an issue.

remember Fitz wanted Darcy Kuemper

I will take 3 more years of 6 k over Darcy

Was this written by Krueger?
He would be very proud seeing Jeff at 4RW., lol.
- IonSabres

Jeff Skinner moving down to a “fourth-line” role isn’t ideal for a $9 million forward. However, I think that he could be effective with Jiri Kulich and Krebs as an energy/scoring line. Good teams have four lines that can score. Keeping him around one more year also gives them the flexibility to be moved up the lineup in an injury situation.

Both Tampa and Boston will win as many playoff series as Buffalo this year.

Rumours of Tampa’s demise were masked by the entire eastern conference taking a poop this year.

Those wacky inflatable flailing tube guys should all be unplugged, time for society to grow and improve.

I watched the Ruff press conference and noticed some interesting things. When he was answering questions I noticed that his left side of his face looked a little paralyzed and his left eye didn't fully close when he blinked like his right eye did. Also the way he was sitting was kind of weird as well. It looked like he was favoring his right arm by not moving it very much like he did with his left arm. I hope he is ok health wise. Anyone else notice this?
- c1067

He's already signaling that he's in distress...

That left side is awfully young. Yikes.

And if you're playing Greenway at 3RW, you're doing it wrong.

Chad!
- Powerslave

That is an easy fix by moving Skinner to line 3 and Greenway to line 4.

Yes, they'd be young at LW, but Peterka, Quinn and Benson are not lacking in ability.

- Swedish_Jesus

Already counting that series as a Leafs win is humorous.

If Vasilevskiy plays like himself next season, which is not an unreasonable expectation, they'll be a good team once again.
