Is $7M per on a term of 5 or more seasons considered a reasonable deal for Necas?

That may be the going rate.
- kingcong39

I'd say that's reasonable. Would he extend here for reasonable? Hard not to be cynical about that.

w/o shopping a big name off the roster

there is money in the short term for 1 guy

is that need a middle 6 center

a top 6 winger

or a top 4 RD?

Adams can clear money if he had to.

Greenway and samualsson. (Sam based on the flyers rumors)

https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/cap/_/year/2024

Sabres have 21 million in space.

If you move greenway …. That’s 3 mill

Samualsson getting interest from the flyers is 4.2 million.

Adams could move money / contracts if he had to.

Is this where the Farabee talk came from?

As he should be.

Not sure where that rumor came from.

4th period also mentioned girgensons and olofsson moving on

Jeff Skinner is either waiving his NMC next offseason or developing an allergy to his equipment manufacturer.

His choice how he wants to go out.

Get one of Ehlers, Necas, Farabee here and figure out the rest after

Don’t think that happens. The skinner part. His skating and speed did look slow this year. Very very concerning

He was playing through a Back injury for the last few months, sure that had a bit to do with it. And highly doubt anyone is taking that 10mill Salary this Year. His actual money owed drops to 7mill and 5 mill the last 2 Years of his contract. Hope he has a decent season up to the TDL and maybe someone bites then.

Winnipeg exploring a defenseman in exchange for Ehlers isn't surprising.

Which Sabres defenseman would Winnipeg want?

Byram, Samuelsson, Jokiharju, Ryan Johnson, Maxim Strbak?

Which of those would Buffalo actually be willing to trade?

Jokiharju?

Would Winnipeg want Jokiharju, compared to what defenseman other teams might offer?

Would have no problem trading Samuelsson for him, if that is what got it done. Sabres can afford that, especially if 11 isn't involved.

but I was told he could not make a trade last summer because only the cat got traded

Yet our GM is one of two GM’s to make a true “hockey trade” in the last 12 months.

The irony

You and I would have no problem doing that, but we know they won't do it.

That's the Problem, Adams can't make the Hard Decisions. He's gonna wait to Long again and this Sh!t Show will be riding that Merry Go Round Again. With who will be available in FA to some that could be available in trade. Adams has the resources to turn this team into a Good F@cking hockey Team. The Hour glass is almost empty, it's time to get his Head out of Pegula's A$$.

same. said it since the get go. he makes sense 10 ways to sunday.

atw keeps whining about berube. i dont get it. can anyone confirm to me why it was so important to hire berube over ruff? is it the cup he won on the back of binnington? or is it because he's not affiliated with buffalo? because the guy's been pedestrian since 20.
- TheSabresTaco

I agree with you here. Absolutely fine with Ruff. I rather he was in the President seat but Terry will Terry.

I am not fine with Wilford staying.
I’m meh on Seth getting promoted.
I’m pretty salty they finally kicked Ellis upstairs after they lost Peca
And it’s annoying Ruff wasn’t able to bring in anyone….

I am not sure Ruff will be enough to overcome Terry and Kevyn’s shortcomings.

Which well thought of player or deal will come out this offseason that Adams thought he had done, only be foiled by the player's no move clause?

He hasn't made it look like he Wants to WIN! By his lack of movement the last 3 years, especially the last 2. Why would anyone come here, atleast a respectable player. You have to give said player a Vision of possible success and Adams doesn't or hasn't done that.

IMO Adams doesn't know how to build a Hockey Team or atleast finish the Puzzle. Nice to have a lot of Skill Talent, but you need some guys that aren't afraid to have there face blemished to. Speed, Skill, Grit, Tenacity and Will all need to be mixed to make a Team

1 year UFA probably gets them Joker and a B prospect or 2 in 25 or 3 in 24

The worst is the press conference that comes later where he says with that sheepish grin that he can't make players want to come to Buffalo.

Nobody wants to hear that poop again, even if there is truth to it.
