Hoss Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Just now, tom webster said: Exactly. It’s two hours into free agency and I like what they’ve done so far. Let everyone fill their cap space, grab value guys before the others are ready to work on that part of their roster. Two top six forwards are coming. We didn’t grab any value guys. Just because they signed $700K deals doesn’t mean they’re “value.” It just means they’re not NHL players. Quote
Radar Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 I've felt right along any significant moves will be by trade route. 2 Quote

Thorner Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 ^ No chance Vesey doesn't see himself as Top-6...... Quote
Formerly Allan in MD Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Rangers must have really had it in for Vesey, sending him to his "I'm out of here destination." Who's next, Peterson? Quote

Really thought they'd fill one of the 2 slots that need to be filled on the 2nd line via FA and the other by trade. Hoping Vesey isn't one of those 2. Quote
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Posted July 1, 2019 Botterill mentioned that Sheary can play both Wings Quote

The only big trade chip is Risto so I'm guessing he's sent out for the 2C if he's moved. Botterill said Top 9 re: Vesey, so.. Edited July 1, 2019 by Thorny Quote

I’ll say this for Jbot. He was able to do something TM desperately wanted but couldn’t get done; ...... he got Vesey to become a Sabre. 2 Quote

Thorner Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Brawndo said: So based on the bottom quote he was trying to fill a specific need with Vesey/who they were pursuing in FA, and we knew he was looking for a top-6 C and W, right? So Vesey is probably that winger. Edited July 1, 2019 by Thorny Quote
Berg Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 He scored 18 in New York. In Buffalo there will be 25! Quote

Dr. Mike Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 “The Sabres have now spent two third-round picks and waited three years to get Vesey, who underwhelmed on Broadway while notching 50 goals and 90 points in 240 games.” NY Post Quote
