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 I just want to point out that there’s really nothing he’s done to not have had this opinion at this time last season. Posters were getting lambasted for saying things like this all year. 1 Quote

I think that was a win win for both teams. Now he has the assets in both draft picks and young talented kids. There is zero reason to not get what this team needs. What we do NOT need is another 7 prospects! We need NHL hard to play against middle 6 players and 1 more hard to play against defenseman!! 1 Quote
Flashsabre Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/tampa-bay-lightning-victor-hedman-working-towards-extension-1.2141566 TB going to announce a Hedman extension. So either Stamkos is gone or the Lightning are going to have to move significant salary. Cirelli, Cernak, Jeannot come on down😁 1 Quote
inkman Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Are there any actual Sabres trade rumors in this thread? I haven’t seen one. Quote

I heard Kevyn is considering making a trade for either an impact forward or a defenseman or possibly a depth player, but that making trades is tough. 5 Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Remember that it is 8am in Vegas so still early in the day. Quote
Flashsabre Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Also remember there wasn’t a sniff of the Mitts-Byram deal out there. Adams said the pick swap with SJ was weeks in the making and no one heard about that either. Quote

Yeah, maybe it took three weeks from when Grier first talked to Adams about moving back, but that doesn’t mean it took three weeks to iron out. Grier has been very active and this trade could have been made at any point in time up to pick 11. Quote

I think it is a combination of Kevyn being a little too honest and also trying to portray the “GMing is hard” trope he’s been on recently. Quote

I agree... and the devaluation of the Brand over the past 2 decades cannot make it easier to get players to come here that have NMC in their contract... Seems everytime I see or hear of someone who has 10 teams crossed out the Sabres seem to be one of them... and quite frankly, who can blame them... Quote
French Collection Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 TSN’s Craig Button with a long winded story of Stamkos going to UFA. He says the best fit would be Buffalo. He could be a complimentary offensive piece that has immediate credibility upon entering the dressing room. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/button-stamkos-will-have-a-lot-of-offers-tampa-wont-be-able-to-r~2948242 This would help attract the bottom six guys as well. 1 1 Quote

Warriorspikes51 Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 (edited) Yes. Please. He's 34, but 40 goals last season. May still have another 3 good years left 3 for 33 million? Edited June 28 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote

What we do NOT need is another 7 prospects! We need NHL hard to play against middle 6 players and 1 more hard to play against defenseman!! Totally agree... we have got to balance this team out with players who operate in small space and take away space physically. It will also do wonders for our highly skilled players by giving them some space and liberate some of those other players like Cozens, Tuch, Dahlin and maybe even Thompson and Power who will be inclined to use thier size if they dont have to be the #1 aggressors on this team. (although I am not sure Power has it in him) Quote
Buffalonill Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 If stamkos saves buffalo hockey I'll quit drinking. Quote
#freejame Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 There is zero shot Stamkos would be worth the money it would take to bring him here, but ***** it who gives a ***** anymore it would at least move the needle. 2 Quote
