  1. I do not believe the Sabres are still interested in Laughton. There was some interest last Summer but that has disappeared supposedly
  2. I could see Verbeek really liking him
  3. Marner moving to another team would allow him to sign an eight year extension, that’s the only way I could see him waiving. Tavares who knows
  4. Will have 16 teams. 30 million salary cap. Supposedly being funded similar to LIV Golf
  5. There is a rumor that the Bills will be playing on Christmas Day at 4:30
  6. Your theory is they are chill bros. These are world class athletes who have spent a large majority of lives training and honing their skill sets. Cozens in particular left home by age 12 to seek out a higher level of competition These guys are highly competitive both on and off the ice. I personally want them to be good friends and hang out off the ice, building chemistry is best for the team in the long run This is not going fade away once they sign their first big contract Context does matter. That picture was taken last year during the season each completed their career highs. Was it their fault that they ran the back the same lineup? Was it their fault that the team ran the same power play game after game when it was painfully obvious it wasn’t working. Was it their fault that the HC refused any attempt to line match all season, particularly at home when he had the last change? Tage’s drop in production seemed to correlate with His Wrist Injury and as it improved he had 21 points in his last 18 games. Does anyone here think that Cozens was satisfied with the season he had? He is more upset with it than anyone on this board. The prevailing theme from the players at their end of season exit interviews was they wanted a coach that would push them harder and demand accountability. That does not sound like something chill bros would want.
  7. Craig Berube hired when?
  8. Toronto fires Sheldon Keefe
  9. If you scroll through Instagram during the All Star Break you will find pictures of players from all over the league enjoying the sun with teammates. The NHL even highlights some of pictures on their account
  10. I wouldn’t be so quick to rule out him waving to come to Buffalo for a year. Is it likely? No, but it isn’t completely out of the question. Buffalo is one of the few teams that has the need and the ability to take on his full cap hit It’s close to Toronto. His Uncle has strong ties here and Okposo is one of His Best Friends and is a huge supporter of the Sabres The Sabres are ready to take the next step. Unlikely it happens, but there is a chance
  11. Evolving Hockey’s most likely contract projection is 4 years at 5.1 AAV
  12. Berube to NJ or Toronto?
  13. Marek has gone into detail about this. The prevailing thought in some circles around the league is that UPL has had to do everything he can to prove that he belongs in the NHL, while Levi has to prove that he doesn’t belong. There was disagreement earlier in season about where Levi belonged this season. Granato wanted to ride him in the NHL while others in the FO felt Rochester was the best path forward. Levi was given the starting job before TC began this year. Also last season once Levi was signed, UPL wasn’t even dressed as the backup for the last games of the season.
  14. From Jeff Marek’s Rink Fries Speaking of netminders the Buffalo Sabres' negotiations with their RFA goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen should be fascinating to follow. It’s no secret UPL has been miffed at times with how he’s felt skipped over and for good reason. As the Sabres enter a phase where their big contracts all kick in and they need to watch every dollar closely, let’s see where the decimal point lands for their No. 1 goalie. I’m guessing somewhere between $4-5 million on a five-year deal. We’ll see.
  15. If Moose Jaw gets eliminated in the WHL Playoffs I believe Savoie would be eligible to play for Rochester
  16. Wilson has seven years left at 6.5 million AAV and he has already started his decline in production. And his metrics are atrocious
