Yeah, without retention it didn't make sense. As others have said, trading for him after buying out Skinner would've been a step back in the same direction, so didn't think it would happen.

At the same point, an EC team just got better, on the cheap and we've sat on our hands since the McLeod fleecing. Think it's going to be another tough season.

this is my concern. Did we shed skinner to save space for potential call ups or to
get better this year?

In what way? "Because they didn't want to" is not an answer

Laine to Montreal. E5.


Habs taking full cap hit.

The #Bills are signing QB Anthony Brown, per source.

Paying his full salary for the next 2 years could have been problematic

Ya, if full salary.
Sabres don't make a trade for him w/o money going back. CBJ clearly wanted a clean deal to maximize their Cap Space (why I don't know), good on them, they found a way.

zucker and greenway come off the books in 10 months, which that savings alone covers laine's salary next year

I am not saying laine was the answer but I am saying if adams wanted him, he could have had him and made it work cap wise

Laine can’t seem to stay on one team for longer that a few years.

Montreal can have laine if everything goes right it wont matter

Tage 40
Peterka 35
Tuch 35
Quinn 35
Cozens 30
Dahlin 25
Benson 20

Find another 50 goals and its legit lol

Bills say all starters will be held out Saturday.
They plan to go into the regular season without a tune-up.

Did Sean see how that worked out for the Sabres last season?

Oh boy.

- Wetbandit1

I'd bet on 50 from everyone else sooner than those 220 coming to fruition.

I don't know if 270 total is legit though.

Lot of players hurt, think it's a mistake but I don't blame him.

- Wetbandit1

Zucker 15
Rest of the defense 10
Bottom 6/kulich/other rookie 20

Obviously its the absolute best case scenario lol

Its also the only positive take you'll get from me untill they start winning games

Panthers were 268 last year

With 244 against last season 270 would put us at +26

Oops

Using the 2023-2024 season as the barometer,
- 265 GF would put them in the top 10
- 230 GA would place them 6th
Finishing as above likely gets them in.

So grow the GF by 21 while cutting GA by 13.

Improving the Special Teams should go along way towards achieving that, coupled with bounce back years from Tage, Tuch, Cozens, Quinn and additional growth from Peterka and Benson.
