Kaep wasn’t very good before, I doubt he’s made any strides not playing for years.

RK has said the first five days of camp he wanted to spread his veterans out with new and young players. After that, things would start to shake out more. I wouldn’t read into anything prior to this upcoming Wednesday.

Both hips I believe. I want to say the trend now with goalies is to get hip surgeries younger and younger as they’ll need them anyway and waiting will cause additional pain/discomfort.

Looks like I’m living comfortably in the middle.

Just remember the crusades lasted almost 400 years. PA is only getting started.

Thank you!

That’s not what the market has been showing at all. Even going back further to Karlsson’s first deal. If I had to take a complete shot in the dark based on RFA defensemen contract history, he’ll sign 8x9.

Yeah, I’m pretty high on both of them but McAvoy is going to be a top five defenseman in the league. That’s a steal of a deal. Another good sign for Buffalo when it’s time to re-up Dahlin.

19 followed closely by 91, both worn by the great Joe Sakic.

I’m not sure why I was thinking he was a center. Now I’m not sure who it is I’m confusing him with.

How does Spurgeon compare to Reinhart? I am expecting Sam to sign for a higher AAV than that.

Economic theory =/= political theory. Free markets lead to free people.

Going in to the summer I thought Marner would be at $10m. I ended up being convinced he would sign closer to $12m. $11m seems about right.

Patrick Eaves is still in the NHL?

Shouldn’t it be assumed this is a temporary leave of absence?

Big block by NS

Psh...Chara...whatever!

How can a player who excels below the goal line and in front of the net be weak on his legs?

Wut. Reinhart has the best (Skinner can be argued) net front presence of any Sabre.

All of these D signings bode well for the Sabres re-signing Dahlin next summer

Olofsson will score more than Reinhart. 26>25

Is Reinhart more likely to score 35 or 15? For the record, I think he’ll be at ~25.

Seven seconds into his first shift of the year, Victor Olofsson will score on a pull-up slapper from the high slot off of a breakout pass from Dahlin.

Would Dahlin be the youngest D-man to break twenty goals?

I fixed the thread title, thanks for pointing it out.
