PASabreFan Posted Monday at 10:57 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:57 AM 9 hours ago, jahnyc said: Not sure I understand why the Sabres are so radioactive. I get that there are more desirable places to play, but the team has a young core and pipeline with an overall decent future and a new head coach who is generally well respected. Must be some pretty awful information out there about the franchise for so many players at different levels (free agents, college players who haven't signed and players that are under contract that don't want to be traded to the team) to not want to come here (and for GMs to honor those wishes for players that could be traded to the Sabres). Doesn't there have to be more to this? Perhaps drill a little deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Bills during their 17 year drought were able to find guys who were useful... cant wait til they can find the right combo to make attractive again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not going to be a 40/40 guy here, but we need his legitimacy in the locker room and this fanbase needs something to rally behind. The Athletic gave his projection at 3x6. Offer him 2x9. Win and he’ll finish out his career here. 24 million for 2 years would likely be his number for buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallawaySabres Posted Monday at 11:58 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:58 AM (edited) Stamkos would not sign here for 15 per. A contender or 2 will have a nice offer for him. Edited Monday at 11:58 AM by CallawaySabres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not doubting he won’t sign here, but I don’t know he will go to a contender. I’d imagine cap space and top 6 space would be much more limited there.

Yes, but good general managers and organizations find a way to make it work by moving other parts via trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Lee Posted Monday at 12:12 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:12 PM A big signing (Stamkos) would be exciting. I think a better strategy is strength through depth. Give me Stephenson, Foegele and Duhaime (or something comparable), and I’m happy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where our expectations should be in terms of the caliber of FA that would sign with the Sabres. I fear throwing stupid dollars at a big name (ex, Stamkos) will turn out to be Taylor Hall 2.0. Only coming for the money. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting tiresome. 1 minute ago, ExWNYer said: If I wasn’t 100% certain the Sabres were on his no trade list, I’d pine for this a little harder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
