I personally have mixed views on the team's proposed fusion procedure and can be sympathetic to the ADR idea....after all, somebody has to be first. That said, some solid reasons already stated as to why the team should not allow it...as the contract is right now. If Eichel is willing to waive the NMC clause to allow the Sabres to execute any trade they want, whenever they want without a deadline, I would view that as a step in the right direction.

Thanks! Helps me to manage my expectations for tonight....even being a pre-season game.

Anybody by chance have a roster (# and name) for tonight's game?

HA! Although Duffer did once have "hair" and was clean-shaven, where I don't remember ever seeing Doug will anything on top.

I know this is a forwards discussion, but let's not forget the power play as well. Not having Jack on the PP was noticeable to me last year and now minus Sam creates an even bigger hole. I do not see anybody from this list of forwards being able to take up the slack and I wasn't convinced it looked much better under Granato than it did with Ralph. Could be a rough season for the powerplay.

I agree with this 100%. To be honest...I didn't care for the Dahlin/Joki pairing.

I won't say it's the "best" commercial, but I have a hard time forgetting Soupy Campbell's excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) commercials.

Damm Leafs....I wanted Ritchie!

"Sinking to New Depths"

Tokarski is going to be pissed off, the new guys are each making $25,000 more than he is!

Maybe Johansson as well, but hey....the Av's really overpaid by giving us a 6th rounder, right?

They need the young guys to help Anderson get into and out of his gear every day.

Marty Biron is only 43 and would not have to even get a moving van.

Another LHD? Rochester bound I presume

It feels similar to when I go to a Dairy Queen and see nothing but immature teenagers working there. No competent adult management to be found and the place is a sticky, filthy mess with terrible service. Our Sabres are the DQ of the NHL.

The building of the Smurf size army continues.

Seems to be the requirement for a FA joining Buffalo....between him and Drake, we're building a team of Smurfs

That will pack the stands...adding another 5 foot 9 inch monster to the roster.

Not signing any FA's so far on day 1 is actually not a surprise. GMKA is waiting to go dumpster diving for the scraps hoping they're willing to sign for pennies on the dollar after the big teams have shot their wads. Maybe expect another year of Reider or Sheahan type 1-year signings.

GMKA wants to build a team with players who want to be here....boy those crickets can sure be loud. He may have to end up suiting up himself if this keeps up. As far as the Pegula's are concerned, heck no......they're sound asleep on their yacht.

So maybe Ulmark joins Johannson in Colorado?!?!

I'd like to see the Av's re-sign Grubauer and Buffalo sign anybody in net...in hopes it may cause Linus to rethink his position. We still need two.

Sorry to say that we have not yet hit rock bottom yet....we're still falling!

We can trade to get salary dumps by the start of the season. Some teams are well over the cap and will need to offload players. We can absorb them as long as they are short-term players and rack up more draft picks in the process.
