With the reported edict of Buffalo spending to the cap, that money will come in handy toward another top six forward.

LGR4GM Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Sabres have 23.518 million in cap with 13 guys signed. 5 defenders and 8 forwards. That leaves 2.3mil average for the remaining 10 guys. Keep in mind that this doesn't include Levi who is in the AHL on capfriendly so you gotta subtract 1 spot and 925k unless you think Adams is signing another guy.

PerreaultForever Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Considering what they have delivered, every single player on the roster (outside of the entry level deals) is grossly overpaid right now. It's kind of depressing that 4 playoff teams have better cap numbers than we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Sabres he was whatever we needed him to be in the top 9. 3C? 1C? 2C? Winger? He's also developed a pretty solid 2-way game. When he was traded he was leading the Sabres in scoring. I think the Sabres could use just another guy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitts lacks the grit to compete in a game like last night and he was literally a JAG during the Avs playoff run. They limited the minutes his line was on the ice. Sure, that line added some goals, but not critical goals. They weren't particularly stand out in the D zone and they definitely didn't stand out in the O zone with some dramatic puck-cycling. These things are the very definition of a line made up of competent JAG NHLers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His skating lets him match the pace and he has good ice vision but it's the composition of the line that makes it work. This is something that the Sabres have been struggling with for years. Assembling lines where players have roles that work together as a unit rather than individual skills. ERod is also going harder to the dirty areas and playing more fearless than he used to, but again, that's also because of who surrounds him and opens up ice for him. It's the same for Reinhart's line. Good complimentary pieces and as I've said before, Barkov does not get the recognition he deserves.

Look at an example I have familiarity with. Brad Marchand's numbers went way down this year. People saying oh he's losing a step, getting old, which is true to some extent, but the big reason? No Bergeron. It's the exact same thing with Reinhart and Barkov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 If Samson had Tage as his centre he would score 50 for the Sabres. He is a goal scorer and has matured in Florida. He never had a proper setup man in Buffalo. So, @PerreaultForever you are right to a certain extent, but so is @dudacek. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Reinhart shot 8.9% above his career average this season. That's almost 4 full standard deviations off the average so Sam is going to regress in terms of sh%. In a normal year, Reinhart gets 36g not 57. Pay accordingly.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 I need to see more from Tage. He tries to dangle too much, he should be dropping his shoulder and with his reach could throw defenders off.

There’s a a Tommer Construction in the state of Washington. Maybe he’s embracing a wrecking ball? (I know wishful thinking) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
