No interest in Kahun. At some point we have to let go of the concepts we have of these players versus the actual player. He has been non-tendered twice. He’s exactly what Adams was talking about when he said said he didn’t want to “box out” the young guys. Suter I like because there’s actually production and potential there. 2 Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 26, 2021 Report Posted July 26, 2021 If adams walks away with Kase , Suter and Svechnikov I will be happy lol Quote

The Jokeman Posted July 26, 2021 Report Posted July 26, 2021 Ryan Dzingel is still relatively young and if healthy could be 2nd/3rd line center. 1 Quote

Flashsabre Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Breaking News- “Landeskog, Hamilton, Grubauer and Suter all signing with the Leafs for MASSIVE discounts just for the honour of pulling the Maple Leaf over their head.” -Social Media tomorrow.😀 1 Quote

sweetlou Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Any chance with all the swedes in buffalo, KA can overpay and convince LANDESKOG to come to Buffalo and be the captain after they trade Jack!! maybe a 7 year $56million contract. AAV would be $8 million 2 Quote

Maybe a small smattering of Riley Sheahan types to fill out the roster but basically nobody. Also going to predict (and it's a mistake) that UPL will be our goalie and Power will be in our opening day line up. I disagree regarding Power. With this crappy team, I think he’d be better off returning to Michigan for another year. If they want, they can then bring him in after the college season. As for goalies, we may be looking at the signing of an old fart like Mike Smith. At least Hutton is finally off the books. Quote

Jävə Keith Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Strategically looking at where this team will be for the next 2 seasons - Not yet ready for prime time, but developing a young talent prospect corps growing up together over time. Any UFA we bring in here, there is only one quality I want - Leadership. We need someone at the tail end of their career who has proven his leadership chops, and is not here for ego, but for the main purpose to MENTOR our next round of future Letter-wearers (to be earned by proving leadership in adversity, not given letters b/c of talent - see Eichel). Cozens shows early promise, but needs to sit as a Padawan learning under a Jedi-Master Leader of Men. We need to find that Leader/Mentor to train up a select few of these kids in the way they should one day soon lead. 1 Quote

I would like Nick Foligno for this role, but I’m sure he’s probably only looking for a competitive team to sign with. This is probably true for all of the veteran leadership types. The Sabres would likely be relegated to someone nobody else wants, but still wants to squeak out 2 more years for some money. Buffalo no longer has the “hey you could play on a line with Eichel” card they used to lure in Skinner and Hall. Edited July 27, 2021 by Andrew Amerk 1 Quote

Curt Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 4 hours ago, Eleven said: We do? I've read on here that the Sabres don't like Russians because Terry Pegula doesn't like Russians and he's really running the team no matter who the GM is. Someone didn’t want them. In the past 6 seasons they had 1 Russian guy play 1 season for the NHL team, and drafted 1 Russian guy in the previous 7 drafts. That is too highly unusual to be a coincidence. Quote

GoPuckYourself Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 I'm going to guess we sign RW Kyle Palmeri and G Jonathan Bernier. 1 Quote
