One thing people are forgetting is roster space - we have signed five guys to NHL contracts. The that's 3-5 roster places gone. Even if Wennberg, Fast etc. were available. We wouldn't be signing them. The fact is, our roster is pretty much full now - its just rather than chose to fill the gaps with top players, or under-the-radar players, we have filled it with bargain discount players. Olof - Eichel - Reino Skinner - Staal - Cozens Thompson - Eakins - Okposo Girgensons - Lazar - Reider We may see one more signing - dependent on Casey and the management's assessment of him. Otherwise I can't see us doing too much more in FA. We have 8D too. Pretty much all the goalies are off the market too. Possible trade obviously, but someone did post saying management had said they didnt view upgrading goalie as high priority

For me, the appeal is that we are back to a budget team. Therefore we won’t get the big names at FA (look at the last three FAs top). as a result, the only way we can compete is by signing players who are slightly under the radar and will put up good amount of points. in other words we sign the 45/50 point player for $3 million, rather than the 60 point player for $6 million. So far we have spent about $7 million on bottom line players. I would rather we have paid that to two decent players - eg Kahun and Fast

I feel the Sabres have really gone to sh!t recently. I really cant see Eichel staying right now

What about Reider, Girgensons, Okposo and Lazar? Five 4th line forwards

Jack’s gone. I actually wouldn’t be too shocked if he requests a trade before the season starts based on the roster

Do you see him as a 3C or 4C?

Double woof

Fast, Larsson, Wennberg. All better, younger and signed for less

How long until people stop defending KA’s ridiculous moves? I hope people look at this as Dahlins team this year. Otherwise they might be in for an angry trade deadlinr

Thorny will be in pieces

My Summary: 2C - Got 3C - Need 2W - Need 3W - Need 13F - Got 2LD - Need 7D - Got G - Need

Games above replacement Basically how many games would you win with him in the line up vs a randoM plug from the AHL

Wennberg. Merril. Kahun. Those moves address holes in the line up. Rather than a #8 D and #13/14 F

Woof

Introducing your 2021 Stanley Cup champions: The Buffalo Sabres

His stats seem pretty mediocre?

I wouldnt be surprised unless this FA gets turned around

Slightly dramatic, yes. However, we have objectively just got worse through this FA period. And we missed the playoffs last year, so its not looking good. Especially when you think of the other teams in our division.

Its ok, we paid an extra 13th forward the difference in their demands, so we have a replacement. Sens or Sabres. Who makes the playoffs first?

Man that's depressing...

13th forward then I guess. Lazar has been promoted to 12th forward. How heart warming

One for Rochester?

Oilers are sweeping up today Maybe KA has just been lowballing everyone. Confused why they dont want to sign

Buyout candidates often take less as they are still getting pay elsewhere

Man I really wanted him. Would have happily offered more
