That really shores up the right side of the defense, veteran leadership, grit...  oh...  oh right. Still, cap compliance is important. (Edit: Execute Order Seventy!)

What does everyone think the eventual future consideration becomes?

Nothing or a 7th round pick in 2025

One year

I still cannot understand how anyone can say that we are not tanking.

I mean, why spend money on actual players when you can pay someone who has already retired.

I keep explaining what tanking is and how it doesn't fit the definition of what the Sabres are doing but you keep ignoring that.

I guess then I am confused why you said "with that money". What money are you talking about and how does it preclude us from getting a center?

I'm leaning nothing as well. But I hope Lou is all... "You know, I like Sheevyn. I'm gonna give them that low 6th that JBott traded their high 6th for. I believe in karmic balance."

A 6th in 2023 is my pipe dream.

Just because you believe it doesn't mean it's true.

And it's exactly what they did the last tank.

The only difference is that they never use the word "Tank."

Hmm, maybe that's all it takes for it not to be a tank?

Now we have a retired d-man we are paying til the end of year and he makes good money...they clearly do not want to spend much right now so instead iof spending on Boychuk to get to the cap floor at least spend it on a center

Future considerations. Lou Lamiorello now owes Donny "the Don" Meatballs a favor. And Meatballs always collects.

Now flip Boychuk to Arizona. They'll give up a 2nd to show us the true meaning of the Concept of Tank. 🍺😇

if we ever needed any proof that Arizona is without doubt tanking so they can draft that stud 1st then add Mathews in a few years we got the proof when they signed Carter Hutton!

I am so confused the Sabres can spend money on center at any time they want. They have tons of room for it and boychuk and his 1.25mil in actual money is not relevant to that.

So if this tank works then I get to say that tanks work. Sweet.
