Sorry but have you observed free agency sprees? Ridiculous amounts given out in free agency. That's why I tend more and more at this date toward he testing market and possibly coming back to Sabres with any offer to match. I think he will get more than 8 but will the extra year we can sign him for before July first sway him to Buffalo? That's where the legal tampering period can be used by players.

This is where I am with it.

Okay, I'm suffering from sleep deprivation.
-
That's what makes his demands sensible from their position.

Glad you're so confident in burning up more of Eichel and companies contacts while grooming the next Skinner in Rochester. When was the last 30 goal guy we groomed. Face it Skinner' s agent in knows how desperate this team is for a scorer. I think your confidence is way more than mine.
-
Except the Sabres are in dire need of what Skinner brings. Who is even in our system who does what he does. You're not going to find that in free agency because twenty seven year old 30+ goal scorers are few and far between. Plus even if there was one out there would he choose Buffalo? Unfortunately Skinner' s agent is holding a pretty good hand.
-
Agree the O'Reilly deal looks bad but not signing Skinner at say 9 million for eight years is arguably an understandable decision. The only thing that makes sense about going that high is they are so destitute for scoring and are hostage to their need.
-
My feeling is the Sabres don't feel he's worth more than 8-8.5 but they are so offensively challenged that Skinner and his agent are trying to leverage that. Ordinarily I'd let him walk rather than go 8 years and over 8.5 but the team is between a rock and a hard place replacing him. Still think they will sign him but far less certain than I was a month ago.

My post was meant as sarcasm.
-
So, I guess this means we're not interested?
-
Just talked to myself. My previous post was sarcastic. In reality the ROR trade may be one of the worst in team history. It's over and done with though.
-
I loved the ROR trade. Best deal Sabres made in years. Just can't understand why anyone's upset.

Lockout if they want. Seasons too long anyway. Fortunately I'm into football more until December but for those not football fans it's, I'm sure, more frustrating. Frankly these billionaire owners and multimillionaire players irk me mire than missing games to watch . Money and greed has taken a lot of passion for sports out of me. If they play I'll watch and if they don't so be it. I quit spending money on it long ago. Won't even advertise free for them by wearing their garb.

Girgensons was forced to play on lines in the past he's just not suited for. He's a solid fourth line guy though.

PA, you're ,it seems, uncomfortable with anything about the Sabres ownership or management.

Friedman Says Ralph Kruger has a Legit Shot at Sabres HC Position
Radar replied to Tarosays's topic in The Aud Club
Pierre Lebrun was on the Instigators and spoke very highly of Krueger and seemed to believe he would make a good choice. Sounds like he's very highly respected. If indeed he's the guy I'm okay with it. -

I think I do. -
This is an optimist thread but you just had to infiltrate it with your negative comments. You've several other threads go there.

Thank you. Funny what perception vs fact can do to enlighten the mind. -

I do think for several reasons Tippett is a better fit in Edmonton and nothing to do with anything negative about Buffalo. -

There are members here that think the worst. Somewhat understandable to be frustrated as a fan but to be negative about the unknown? There will be plenty of time to be negative once someone's hired because it really doesn't matter who they hire. If Keefe is hired there will be criticism as well. Just the way it is. -

It's indicative of a sports forum. We kick tires. Frankly I'm not for or against any of the names mentioned other than a couple who have reportedly been out of the running. If Krueger is the guy I'm okay with it. -

True. Should say he took them further than expected. -

Frankly we don't know what contact they may or may not have had with him. -

Second place with an inferior team that over achieved by all accounts. From what I've read he gets the most with the talent he has had. Also apparently has turned down other offers in the past. Friedman said this morning he would take this job because he wants to not that he needs it.
