Sabres Free Agency Thread

[Turbo44]

Levi is our new goalie. Our new 1B will be MAF

[SabresBaltimore]

Sounds like Subban won't be back in Rochester?

You mean two of the primary forward PK’ers who were part of one of the worst units in the NHL last season?

Right. I was not happy with either signing. 

[pastajoe]

Levi, UPL, Comrie, Subban, Tokarski, and Houser. ECHL Jacksonville will have some veteran goaltenders.

You get a goalie, you get a goalie, everyone gets a goalie.

Man, the crappy new Twitter rules limiting views per day makes it tough to follow the news.

When do the Sabres get one?

[GoPuckYourself]

If we stick with the same trio at G that would be a major disappointment imo, but the sky isn't falling....YET!

Also embedded tweets here slow things down.

I didn’t say a good goalie, I just said “a goalie”.  😂

OK I have to go to a family party thing.  If one of you with my cell # would text me important updates, I'd appreciate it...thanks...

Just got an update from the party; bring a case of beer.

I’m starting to wonder if Adams isn’t setting up for a bigger overhaul than we thought:

We now have 5 goalies and 9 defencemen.

We’ve moved on from Clague and Anderson already and Im wondering how many of Boosh, Stillman, Bryson, Jokiharju, Comrie and UPL will be elsewhere before the fall.

Everyone was in general agreement that the crease and the blueline needed change but I don’t know that we expected the change to be sweeping.

Gonna need something stronger than beer for this one.  It's the old racist uncle's house.

 Oh come on.  It falls 2-3 times a day here. My flower bed is stomped flat.

Could be a run back at F, and in net, with a couple modest additions on D

Or, could see a revamped G position, a couple modest additions on D, and maybe even a F add or two through a big swap. So, more of a sweeping change.

we shall see

Bring Bud Light.

[rickshaw]

We should kick tires on Marc Andre Fleury. He’s got one year left. Come mentor our young guys. He’d be a great mentor and still can play 30-35 game.

It would be nice to sign a rugged, playoff tested vet F help the boys a bit. 

4C like Bonino for instance. Maybe not him per say but...

Dylan Mulvaney single handedly saved me 60 bucks for my 4th of July gathering. I'm to old to give a ***** about what anyone else says about it, I've actually posted on GM and Toyata's contact us page to do a promo with Dylan.

If we do that I really hope it’s a 4C we can put in the dot for critical face offs.

Might be as simple as moving either UPL or Comrie out, moving on from Subban, and running Levi/UPL/Tokarski/Cooley.

And adding Johnson and Clifton while dumping Clague and pushing Stillman and Bryson down the depth chart.

But it also still leaves us open for bigger acquisitions as well if they wish

It’s hard at this point to believe both UPL and Comrie make it to the season. Also expect a defenseman to disappear or an injury we haven’t heard of announced. 
 

The overhauls are nice- developing for the sake of developing seems over.  With this mindset I would think a depth forward would be in play, but Geekie signed elsewhere.  Day isn’t over yet.

I'm hoping the boys are hard at work this summer on that too
