My final though here. I'm glad we acquired talent, I don't like the questions that talent has or the fact it isn't at a position of need or a skill need. I like Byram just fine and think he's a very capable 2nd pairing defender, just wish the team building strategy was different. Mitts was a tradeable asset that wasn't used to fix a problem but add to a position of strength. We'll see how Byram does.

Jeff Skinner, for the 1,000,000 times has a full NO MOVEMENT CLAUSE or an NMC. Good luck getting him to agree to any of the things you say here. Matt Savoie. Jiri Kulich. UFA

And that's the entire list of guys. Little 18yr old rookie, Zach Benson.

I mean, there's what 4? Other Canadian wjc guys he knows here? He's definitely buddies with Cozens and Krebs. So what you're saying is 4 years from now, our defense will be really good?

@Hank

It's just confusing from a team building perspective and if he doesn't stay healthy or return to form, we fail... again.

You gotta really hope this is a weird down year for Byram. But again, why do we have 5 LHD under 24? I hate that they signed Samuelsson as long as they did now, what a waste.

Fiscally conservative? What's that? Can't be talking about the current conservative party, they certainly are not fiscally conservative. I'm glad I pay school taxes and support my local public school system.

This thread has this energy...

Fun win

Would be fun to win.

Mitts, Savoie, something else (like Rosen level prospect), and probably a 1st, maybe a 2nd round pick if you can get lucky. I would consider including either Samuelsson, R Johnson, or something like that as well.

Not if you realize the Sabres would have to get 75% of their remaining points, which they won't without celestial intervention, to even be at the playoff cut line.

Completely disgusted with the Sabres. No heart on this team. No heart from the coaches. Just a soulless bunch of dudes wacking a puck around, going through the motions.
