He can get the deal then but it won’t kick in till 2025/2026 and by then it will be at least $95.9M and likely higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas23 Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 3 hours ago, #freejame said: I’m way higher on Krebs than most but real organizations make you earn a spot and he hasn’t. But we’ve mismanaged him since we got him so what’s it matter really. He’s either going to sink or swim. Well, he sort of is a solution at center. I think many on here would hope KA brings in a 3C. It’s going to be up to Krebs if he wants to take that from him. Otherwise, he’ll be 4C, which wouldn’t be a horrible outcome if he’s surrounded by real NHL players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumph_communes Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 We don’t need a defenseman. A bottom 6 Krebs is negative value so I hope him saying he’s the center is just trying to keep him as a trade chip. Maybe Ruff can make a role player or him but I think his hockey sense is trash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porous Five Hole Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 1 hour ago, thewookie1 said: Would Ekblad be a good pickup? Not to my eyes. He ate 20 min a night last year, but almost 60% of his zone starts were in the offensive zone…while his goals above expected is not impressive. Florida was awesome last year and his starts were very protected. His foot speed is on the decline and he was never fast or agile to begin with. He only has one year left on his deal at 7.5MM, so Buffalo could afford that next year. But he’s not a defense first type that we could partner with Dahlin or Power.

Broken Ankles Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 2 hours ago, Pimlach said: Yes but how much money do you want to spend on defensemen? Exactly. A $7.5m AAV would put the Sabres blue line (only top 6 ) around $38.5M. Last year no team exceeded $34m for their top 7. Better spent elsewhere.

French Collection Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Surely KA makes a move of some kind today. Teams are re-signing guys that were potential UFAs, trades are moving pieces the Sabres could have used. Eastern rivals have improved their lineups to be playoff contenders. It almost feels like a game of musical chairs where Kevyn is the one left standing every time. Meanwhile, the Sabres accumulate draft capital. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Allen Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 “The Rutger McGroarty suitors are starting to materialize for the Winnipeg Jets. The Boston Bruins have had continuous discussions with the Jets about the top prospect, while the Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets, and New York Islanders have also inquired, reports the Winnipeg Free Press' Mike McIntyre. On Saturday, it was reported the Jets are likely to trade McGroarty, but that he doesn't have any animosity toward the city of Winnipeg.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be livid if we make all our picks during this draft. If we get a couple of nobodies in F/A or a token signing, i will be lighting the torches for KA head......I have had enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since his injuries have built up, he's looked poorer. He had a pretty bad playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 A couple of quick notes from 32 Thoughts Podcast. Friedman mentioned the Sabres were interested in both Reilly Smith and Lars Eller from Pittsburgh, but neither are going to happen. Also He wonders about Seattle for Skinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
