I don't think you would have to dump anyone else doing quick math, they would come in 2 mill under the cap Yes Ekblad would be the Major piece added Maybe he gets under $10m if you give him some term But it would be a huge change to the team

You could pay Byram $8 and Ekblad $10 just need to move Samuelsson and Clifton Johnson would be bottom pair with JBD You would still have money to pay Peterka $6 to $7 mill and McLeod $4.5

Have is a strong word you are going to have to bridge Byram , are we sure that's going to cost $7 mill? Ekblad will need more than $7Mill I would think

Any of the top 4 on the list would be a step in the right direction He'll, maybe even 2 ? You will have to overpay them and that's fine Ekblad seems a bit "pie in the sky" but he's an Ontario Kid, so you never know. Maybe he has a desire to play closer to home? Pay him whatever you need to. Byram - Dahlin Power - Ekblad Johnson - JBD Clifton

Yep. We will never know. shame on him if he didn't though

Hopefully the season tickets holders hear the call to arms and don't renew

You might be right BUT it took Dahlin 4 years to be decent after he drafted. I just don't think the Sabres can wait for him. The forwards could all contribute much faster

Is there anyone here who doesn't think Samuelson shouldn't be this sites whipping boy? I get the Power hate (though I don't agree) and certainly Quinn has taken a huge step backwards this season (hopefully there is a correctable reason for it) Bryson shouldn't be in the league. Too al and not dynamic enough but the real target should be Samuelsson! he blocks some shots once and a while and credit to him for doing that but what else does he bring? sit his ass for the rest of the season and buy him out the first day possible

Could be a tank with honour.

Your 6'5 Assistant captain is the one guy with his gloves still on in that skirmish. waive Samuelsson tomorrow. Make a ***** statement

Looking at the xGF and xGA Why is Byram and Bryson a pair? They are getting caved in funny seeing Dahlin-Clifton and Dahlin- Samuelsson being positive but Clifton and Samuelsson with anyone else deep in the negative. Only dman Dahlin can't save is Bryson. Byram and Dahlin have not played together for some reason

I agree the D is a huge huge huge problem. 3 of the 6 playing tonight just aren't good enough. that also doesn't mean that UPL needs to be better

UPLs xGA is 4.05. He's let in 6 at some point you need more saves

Who's been better tonight Mrazek or UPL?

Is Schaefer expected back at some point this season?

He has to make some saves. It's just not good enough. And hasn't been most of this season

If there was a "praying" emoji I would have used it only thing good that can come out of this season

Sea vs Mtl tonight. go Krakken, currently 2 points up on Buffalo in the race for the bottom

Samuelsson or Clifton, who has worse hands of stone between those two?

If you are on a losing streak, is there any other team you want to see you on schedule besides Buffalo?

I don't think too many want to run out of town. We all want them to improve their D play but you can't argue that he hasn't be average at best this season

Need to either move on from UPL and go to Levi and a cheap vet or have a tandem of UPL and Levi and have Levi push UPL to be his best , if not Levi takes the net

He gets rattled

How bad does your defensive depth have to be to have Bryson killing penalties ?
