The Jokeman

Erik Rasmussen, I thought we were getting a steal because he was very hyped coming out of Minnesota. I thought he be a dynamic two way center. Instead we got meh.

If we want a big cap hit and young guy to fit in with the rest of our guys I say give a prospect (or two) and a few picks for Alex DeBrincat.

aka Campbell wants more than a three year contract.

Yay more left handed defensemen!!!

Dumba's got a no movement clause of 10 teams, most likely we're on it. Yet it's a nice thought as I don't think Ryan's signing here because of Power/Dahlin.

If we re-sign Subban than he's an emergency Sabres goalie aka playing in Rochester most of the season.

I'm not sure Toronto be willing to help us, they'd probably ask for higher pick just because.

I agree, granted I wanted more than just Fiala but so far Tuch, Krebs etc. is looking like a good get.

I wanted Fiala in a trade of Eichel but alas we didn't get him and it would have been nice if the Sabres offered the rights to Ryan Johnson and one of our 1sts for Fiala but have a feeling we didn't even look to try and get him.

Jack Campbell might cash in as he was a highly touted guy when drafted and finally put all things together to have a good season for the Leafs last season. I personally don't want him but feel some team could try to get him.

Justin Bailey? If he's smart he hangs them up, I didn't think he was an NHLer when we had him and for his sake I wouldn't bring him back.

We don't need a Kane, we need help on D and between the pipes.

Where's Jim Schoenfeld when you need him?

And we had 3 first rounders in 1982 too yet the other one was higher in the draft and was some guy named Phil Housley.

Late this year or maybe early next season, it depends how he performs and how healthy the rest of the team can stay.

Talk about what goalie we should trade for since we still don't have a starting one.

I'm just saying if we're looking towards the 2023 draft those kids might be in the NHL by 2025. I'm glad the saga is over but man this year isn't looking good after the bright start. As so far for Eichel and Reinhart we've gotten no NHL players back which to me maddening but maybe there is hope.

So we're playing for 2025 now? just enough time when we sour on Cozens and Dahlin.

Yeah, he has less than 20 NHL games.

I'm guessing he thinks the compensation wasn't enough. As he knows the pain we as Sabres fans been over the last few years and it doesn't look like it's improving.

Tuch is decent, if he could only stay healthy. Krebs is a question mark at this point.

If Eichel ends up in Saint Louis with ROR I'll be sick as it be a what could have been situation here. The longer this draws out the more I get angry at the team and player similar to what happened with Mike Peca and Dominik Hasek.

I meant Krebs and Tuch together in a trade. Personally I'd like Krebs, Dugan and two firsts.

To get Krebs you'd probably have to throw in Mitts who personally not willing to let go after the way he finished last season. As I'm not sold on Cozens as a top 6 guy.

Edited to remove link but keeping my thoughts on compensation.
