Bjork is under contract for one more year. I think "Donnie loves him" because he's on the roster. I think if Kevyn moves Bjork to Rochester Donny won't bat an eyelash. And if they do move him down maybe someone else will claim him off waivers. 1 Quote

The roster, except for the likely additions of Quinn and JJP at forward, is basically the same as we finished up with last season. He has brought back Vinnie, Anderson and Subban. Re-signed Bryson. He hasn’t upgraded the defense and if Subban makes team, the goaltending is actually worse. The next few days are huge for KA and this franchise. Does he get a starter in goal? Does he upgrade the right side of the defense? Are forward upgrades also possible like at 4C. As I watch KA sit on his hands so far as Ott and Det upgrade their teams and especially in net, I’m concerned that a team ready to compete is going to be sabotaged by a GM unwilling to take even a small risk.

It is a good cheap option that makes sure we don't need to play JJP or Quinn on the 4th line because we can plug and play Hinostroza there. Quote
mjd1001 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Posted July 13, 2022 I think we are finding out on this forum again that there are no move(s) that are going to please everyone, and honestly no matter the move some people will be very upset: -Sign Vinny, no good because he's not good enough and is taking a spot from someone else. Don't sign him when you can, and you are letting a good bottom 6 guy go and it doesn't matter because you don't want Quinn/JJ playing the role he would. -Sign guys like Vinny, Subban, and other marginal guys and you are wasting money on 'the same team as last year'. To others, you HAVE to sign guys like that as competition for the young guys, to keep them pushing. -Don't go after Debrincat, Giroux, Kane, etc...and what is Adams doing?! Other teams are getting better and the Sabres aren't. Yet if you DO go after those guys, we have people upset because they want to make sure you have all the money in the world available to resign the current guys when their next deal is good and they (hopefully) are a lot better. The Sabres/Adams have a plan and they are sticking to it. Currently I like some of the moves and the 'stated' direction Adams has, so I'm going to trust the moves they make and the pace they have because they have access to a lot more info on these players than any of us do.

At least we know Ottawa and Detroit don’t buy into the “why compete, look at our division!” narrative spun on Sabres twitter Edited July 13, 2022 by Thorny 1 Quote

Those who are expecting big moves by Adams are going to be disappointed. Has has never indicated he wants to go the big splash route and so I am not expecting it.

Derrico Posted July 13, 2022 Report Posted July 13, 2022 This is my favourite signing of the day. Great 4th line guy with enough skill to move up on a temporary basis if needed. Quote
