Marner just had his first child and he may want to stay close to family. Plus he's a big Josh Allen fan. It's not much but it's something.

I agree the return is lacking. But it's not like Adams has a string of dud trades. A swap of first (4 for 9) would have made this deal so much more palatable.

You act like there has been a series of poor trades. McLeod for Savoie? People reacted the same way as they are now, but McLeod came in and did well. It was what we all say we want: Use an asset to get better now and overpay if you have to. Cozens/Gilbert for Norris/JBD is TBD until we see what Norris brings. Mittelstadt for Byrum I guess is a wash until we see what Byrum brings in trade. Remember how Adams "overvalues his players?? Well, look at us now.

This trade practically guarantees Byram is going somewhere.

Get help.

How on Earth did you get THAT from my post? Voices in your head? I was referencing Sneaky Joe DiBiassi who on his podcast said that Jarmo would nudge a cautious Adams into taking swings.

Cooler heads, while recognizing fair value wasn't achieved, say Kesserling fills the RHD top 4 need the Sabres. Doan I guess has some upside too.

Isn't that what everyone said about Jarmo? To get Kev to wheel and deal? Throw caution to the wind? Not be afraid to make a trade? Well...

Utah has a 4.55% income tax. How does that compare to NYS?

On Kev's shoulder saying "DO IT!!!"

I went to HF Boards/Sabres and see nothing. What other Sabres forums are there? Google search is just repeats of what Seravalli said.

It's weird to jump the gun like this when a deal isn't done. If this contingency doesn't happen, was this deal for real? We'd never know. Seravelli is the guy who said the Sabres were buying out Samuelsson.

It's Seravalli so don't lose your mind just yet.

Actually I can't. The naughty word filter got me. "half-*****" See!

Someone else compared Adams in a press conference 5 years ago to Adams today. He exudes the confidence of a whipped puppy.

I just caught up watching the presser. A lot of bizarre answers, especially regarding the Asst. Coaches. Who was the media member who called out "running things back" after a 79pt season?

Not Amerks news exactly, but the Abbotsford Canucks won the Calder Cup 4-2. So the Amerks lost to Laval, who lost to Charlotte, who lost to Abbotsford. 🤷‍♂️

I'm surprised. The Las Vegas team had an expansion fee of $10 million.

I can't believe they couldn't sell an NLL franchise. They are in demand. Was there a clause to keep them in Rochester? Maybe that's the rub. Blue Cross Arena is not exactly state of the art. A city the size of Rochester ought to have a 16-18K seat venue.

Really? Even with all the shorties he scores?

Not a prayer. Major league franchises are too valuable to allow this. Relegation is a quaint anachronism from English soccer. However the USL has announced they will now have relegation between various levels within USL, but MLS will not take part. This is the equivalent of relegation between the AHL and ECHL. FYI Buffalo will be joining USL1 next year.

Witness protection.

@irregularly irregular said "gone in two weeks." Don't be changin' the bet.

And remember, he was the "WRONG JOSH" according to the experts. But the drought ended the year earlier with Tyrod Taylor. Just goes to show you never know when your bad luck streak will end.

I'm sure the Sabres are "listening" to offers for Peterka, but only so far as to see if anyone wants to get stupid with a package. But I think it's 99% JJ is a Sabre for years to come. It won't help things if he becomes a distraction. It's in his interest to play his best and keep his value high.
