The integrity of the individual rests on what was said or implied in the negotiation. It’s implied that this is the same offer. How that offer was negotiated is unknown.
-
I have no idea what was said and not said during conversations with Linus But if he legitimately told them he wanted to be their starter, took their offer to the Bruins and said “match it and you got me” that’s bad faith and a terrible look for him.

I think Tokarski might be better than both these guys.

That’s Two! Goalie Aaron Dell Signed to a One Year 750k Deal
dudacek replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
I was stunned when I saw Carter Hutton signed. I was positive there was no way he would ever play another game in the NHL. And then I saw this. -

dudacek replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Another goalie who hasn’t been good in five years. I think he may have been the worst goalie statistically to play multiple NHL games last season. I think we’re in “who can still skate? Sign him!” territory now. -
Sabres sign Goalie Craig Anderson to One Year 750k Deal

Anderson/Miller tandem would be ***** legendary! -
Sabres sign Goalie Craig Anderson to One Year 750k Deal
dudacek replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
I literally thought Anderson retired. He hasn’t been good in about 5 years, but he played pretty well in 2 playoff games this year. The Sabres apparently aren’t afraid of small sample sizes. (I think Jones signed with…Philly?) -
From the Hope-ium Den: Georgiev might be on the market and the Jackets duo might remain an option. Gibson was apparently a target in talks with the Ducks, but I don’t have the foggiest who Anaheim’s fallback could be now. All of those options would cost and all of those teams have us over a barrel. A plan needs to become clear, and fast, or this can’t be regarded as anything other than gross negligence. Who gets to this point of the off-season without a goalie?

Minimize the monetary losses in what was sure to be a painful season at the box office, keep the payroll clear of liabilities such as hard-to-liquidate contracts, and set yourself up with access to a steady supply of cheap talent with outstanding growth potential to make yourself as attractive as possible to a new buyer. It’s so freaking obvious with every step they’ve taken, I can’t believe I’m the only one who sees it.

The plan is pretty clear now. Terry and Kim are fed up with Jack whining about his teammates and complaining that has to pretty much carry the team by himself. Adams has been instructed to keep Jack and show him what carrying a team by yourself really looks like.

Sabres sign UFA LW Vinnie Hinostroza from Chicago
dudacek replied to In The Buff's topic in The Aud Club
Somewhere on a future episode of Beyond Blue and Gold: The camera focuses on Kevyn Adams through a crack in the office door as he puts down the phone while executing a quiet fist pump. He looks across the room to an unseen companion allowing a slight smile to crack his lips. "We got him, we got Vinnie Hinostrozza!" -
I'm fine with Pysyk as our 6/7 who can sub up into forward in a pinch. Wow, that could actually be the plan. Recreate the 2005 Amerks down there.

LHD Will Butcher and 5th round pick in 2022 traded to Buffalo from NJD
dudacek replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
He was good as a rookie, mediocre the next two years, and bad last year. I perceive him mostly as a one-way d-man who needs to be put in optimal positions to succeed. -

Caggiula, Bjork, Hinostrozza and Butcher were all college studs who've had brief flares, but basically disappointed in the NHL -

In a vacuum it's a decent no-cost acquisition with a chance to rebound. He's not filling any particular hole in the Sabres lineup though. -

dudacek replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I was thinking further retention. Nobody wants him at $3.7 million, but at $1.5 he's an asset. -
Very surprising, but welcome. Didn't think he was happy with the shot he got here last time. Should be a solid Buf/Roc tweener. I always liked his game.

Doubt it's happening or the Sabres wouldn't have bothered to do a write-up on him, but a retained Butcher has value in an Eichel swap to Minny (or maybe others) -
Finally something that moves the needle. LOL.

dudacek replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Yet another good college player who hasn't been good enough to translate his college success to the NHL. Can he play the right side? Or is there a lefty being moved in a trade? He's basically Bryson, so our left side looks like: Dahlin Bryson/Butcher Samuelsson/Hagg -
Or Sam, or Jake, or Risto... I was counting on Linus to keep us in games this year and buy the kids time to grow. Instead of somebody stealing us games, we're going to end up with someone giving them away. Or paying assets we don't have in order to trade for someone worse than Linus. Once Jack goes, we've literally lost ever single "good" veteran on the roster. And probably without getting a single one in return. Adams better have a backup plan, but for the life of me I can't understand what it can be. And the ***** Bruins of all teams.
-
Damn if we don't sign Linus, we're really in trouble. It's literally Dubnyk. McIlhenny and Anders Nilsson as the only UFAs unsigned.

Sabres sign UFA LW Vinnie Hinostroza from Chicago

Every successful tank needs a few Brian Flynns and Torrey Mitchells taking a few bullets for them. Our current ones just happen to be named Drake and Vinnie. -

Bjork, Caggiula, Hinostrozza... Gentlemen, we have a type. -
Not a peep out of the Kings today either...?
