I like Jake. He's a nice blend of everything.

Sammy needs to grow a spine and play a bit more physical in front of his net, and stop with the 1+ stupid plays a game.

- IonSabres


Yeah, for sure.

Wonder what kind of leadership samuelsson is bringing behind closed doors?

Earning an alternate captain letter, really suprised me.

All that size and he plays small and he’s easy to play against so far.

I'd rather have Montour than Clifton. GM's let us both down.
- Lunaion


Montour at 7/8 million per year with our cap situation?

I’ll pass on that type of deal

Clifton will be gone soon enough

Wouldn't have taken anywhere close to that at the time.

Kev's year 1 incompetence was a real killer.

Next season they get closer I suspect.

I see about $17m coming off for UFA's. Add in another $4.5m for new Cap, and the existing $6.5m in existing space ...gives them about $28m.

Just the big ticket items:
Quinn and Peterka re-signing is $11m one way or another.
Byram and Levi are another $9m
Replace Greenway and Zucker with true Top 6 winger is $7-8m

That's
$27m there.

I'm sure I missed some puts and takes.

Good points.

I am envisioning that Lindy drives this team to new highs than they have had over the past 5 years.
HOPEFULLY, that gets some attention as a team ready to take the next steps and therefore is more attractive. We shall see on that front.

I wanted Johnson in over Joker for this season, so yes I am comfortable with him sliding in... But still have growing pains.
$11m Dmen are supposed to make their partner better, not need for the other way around.

5 x 4.51 = 22.55.

Franks mistake

Love me some Jake McCabe.

https://www.youtube.com/w...fP3E&ab_channel=SPORTSNET

also never realized Risto "wrestles" off Byfuglien here...

- DirtyDan


McCabe on the Sabres would start playing better and then booom. Magically would get hurt for a long period of time.

So he was always inconsistent

Lol. I see what you did there.

I see JJP at $6.5m -$7.5m,
Quinn at $4m bridge... I suspect Quinn picks his game up sooner or later this season.

The concern with L2 is real and justified.
I would try a bit of a shake up to get those guys out of their comfort zone.. kinda like a deep sniff of smelling salts...

Quinn - Kulich - Cozens
Paired with
Power - Byram for most instances.

Let's go Sabres!

I feel like I must be missing something here. I’ve wanted to see cozens get a shot on the wing to get him going this year after he lit it up at the world’s playing wing.

Are they just forcing the 2c on cozens or what?

Can always ship off Clifton or Sammy if you need that extra few mil. We're fine for next year IMO. Agreed with the breakdown as well but have to figure 1 of the 2 spots for Greenway/Zucker goes to a prospect. Too many down there for one not to be ready by next season...my bet is still on Rosen. Hbu?

Idk what $ value that translates into. I don’t play armchair GM too often. That’s a little over one year’s track record. Just seems a bit high, but then again, idk.

Meh, Guenther got 35pts in 45 games last year and on pace for about 70pts this year. He'll be a comp IMO.

Have some concerns about Johnson's fit. Has no physical game, puck moving LD. They have 3 significantly better versions of that on the team already. Could live with him + Clifton on a 3rd pair, but then they are bumping Samuelsson up and forcing heavier than Lindy wants on LD.

D group is screaming for a trade. Nothing against Byram, but that wasn't the move to fix their long term makeup.

A comp on the low end, today anyways. If you want 8 years, it's going to have a big price tag.
