Prospal would be a fun head coach.

Samuelsson had no business being anywhere near a letter from the start. It was undoubtedly a ploy to justify that contract. It's easily the most egregious move Adams has made. Adams got sucked in by contracts for guys like Siegenthaler and Fehérváry.

I sincerely worry that Östlund and Helenius are going to be Asplund 2.0 and 3.0.

Quinn for Jiricek sounds about right to me. But then you'd have a second giant body pillow along with Power which would drive fans insane. Add Olivier for Samuelsson to the package and now you're talking. Now you've got shot balance (which is probably overrated, but I digress) and a blend of skill and toughness. Dahlin/Byram/Power - LHD Jiricek/Olivier/Clifton - RHD

So does that qualify as guys "who want to be Sabres?"

Cha CHING! Lance chalks up enough scratch for another Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte! https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nhl/sabres/henri-jokiharju-contract-negotiation-buffalo-sabres-defensemen-nhl/article_b8b4df50-2330-11ef-b68f-bb1efdba8381.html#tracking-source=home-top-story

I think he gets a stipend every time he mentions Scott Laughton

If they don't make the playoffs and win at least one round next year there shouldn't be a single person from front office to coach who survives

Anyone have this problem? And/or a solution?

No.

Tyson Jost was centering them two weeks ago. And he's played 10 more games than Thompson and seven more than Tuch. Again - good player. But he doesn't fit at the money he'll likely get.

"When" Mitts is re-signed? He's a third liner for us who doesn't play physical or kill penalties. Yes, he's our leading scorer on the season. I was valedictorian in Summer School. I don't dislike him, but are you going to pay him $4-$6M a year with enough forward prospects to replace him at a fraction of the cost? He will arguably be Adams' biggest challenge between now and the deadline.

Classic Dreger waffling. Looking for forwards but "not an intense search." Probably my least favorite "insider."
