Looking forward to Tuch and JJ painting him orange next winter.

A number of posts in here are signings not related to the Sabres.  We now have a thread for that stuff.  Happy moving posts.

Schenn was a player i thought KA might sign last year, as a much needed boost for our defensive corp to get us into the playoffs.

It didnt happen.

Maybe this year?

Guess not. Signed 3 years 8.25m to Nashville haha

I’m proud of you.

Free agency is 27 minutes old and you haven’t given up yet!

Know I've said this before but free agency is a bad investment almost every time. I'm looking for trade to get us another defender.

I do think it’s a good spot to add a depth forward or two, now, though

Agree possible depth but nothing costing much.

Hall and Eakin are certainly on the list with  Hall at or near the top.  

Hall way worse than Eakin, if for no other reason than this.
