Sabre fan Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 speaking of injuries HNIC has posted that Kyle O has yet another concussion. Poor guy tries so hard. Maybe this time is THE time to hang them up? Of course we said that last year too and he keeps coming back. Such a great competitor who truly loves the sport... Quote

Okposo buyout and Eakin waiving should be amongst the first moves this summer. Respect to Okposo, just like Moulson before him. Good guy, represented the Sabres incredibly well. However, the ability to play the NHL game isn't there anymore, and hasn't been for some time. The sunk-cost fallacy won't change that, Terry. Edited April 16, 2021 by Gabrielor 1 Quote

The sunk-cost fallacy won't change that, Terry. I would have agreed with you a few weeks ago while KO just skated around slowly, turning the puck over alot BUT he has been pretty darn ok lately. That being said, next years team does not have a place for him. Quote

In Eakin's case, just a 1.075 mil cap save I think. For Okposo, My reasons for wanting it don't really have to do with the cap though, it's for roster spots (and respect to Okposo I guess in not sending him to Rochester) 1 Quote
Sabre fan Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 could we not put Kyle on long-term disabled if he has a concussion the way other teams do to get rid of salary off the books? Does he not have just one more year after this? If we could get rid of his salary that would really help moving forward (and yes please buy out Eakin) Quote

If we could get rid of his salary that would really help moving forward (and yes please buy out Eakin) Kyle loves the game and he seemed to be a part of this turn around. If this is another concussion he needs to seriously consider his health now and in the future and make informed decisions. The LTIR decision would greatly help the Sabres for the next few years. There would be money for Dahlin and Reinhart plus. The possibility of making hockey trades for talent while taking on salary would exist as well. 1 Quote

And yes freeing up salary to sign Sam and Dahlin would be great. I still see and hear some wanting to trade Sam but al the guy does is play every year mostly injury free and quietly puts up nice numbers. I look to sign him for 5 years at $5 to 6mil? That would be great! Edited April 16, 2021 by Sabre fan Quote

Thorner Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 So the Sabres wanted the best possible narrative out there to facilitate a trade and Jack is in no rush this summer considering what's coming up for him the next 😈 Quote

Thorner Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) @dudacekMaybe it's like you said "they'll seek to trade him unless he's 100% in" only "they'll seek to trade him unless they can't get a proper return Edited April 16, 2021 by Thorny Quote

Stoner Posted April 16, 2021 Report Posted April 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Weave said: I don’t remember that story. My hazy memory says Perreault once said, probably after retiring, that it would have been better for him if he'd been traded to Montreal in the late 70s for Lafleur. It's been mentioned over the years that the trade was on the table, but the Nixes knoxed it. Quote
