John Tucker Posted Monday at 05:49 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:49 PM Buffalo boy. Played surprisingly well the few times I watched him the last two years in Calgary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted Monday at 05:50 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:50 PM Solid defensive depth Bryson at far more acceptable rate than his QO Hometown kid to be either #8 of first callup 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted Monday at 05:51 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:51 PM (edited) And as many suspected, Jacob tested the waters and came home. Curious as to the pay cut. I seem to remember a few of you extremely pissed we took somebody over Gilbert in his draft year. With these 2, the Clague signing and Ryan Johnson it seems like the defence is set, pending what happens with Jokiharju.

DarthEbriate Posted Monday at 05:55 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:55 PM 18 hours ago, DarthEbriate said: Bryson is a perfectly cromulent 8D, which is why you don’t tender a qualifying offer and let him test the market. If he comes back on 7/13 and says “I like Buffalo and Rochester. I’ll take that 2-way $850k.” Then you sign him up. In the meantime, it’s Novikov time in Rochester. Bryson cromulence achieved! Sooner than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted Monday at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:22 PM Realize Bryson, Gilbert and Clague are spare parts but the Sabres now have 8 D on 1-way contracts, in addition to Johnson on a 2-way and Jokiharju unsigned. Adams made a point of talking about how depth is needed, so that’s probably all this is, but it certainly puts them in a position to flip Johnson or Jokiharju if they so desire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzy89c1 Posted Monday at 06:34 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:34 PM Gilbert can fight as well. Something we do need if only for the chance of someone protecting a teammate. 3 minutes ago, GASabresIUFAN said: Dahlin, Power, Mule, Clifton, Byram, Gilbert and Byrson. Who is the 8th?

You act like it's a sure thing that UPL and Joki will be back. It's not. Both are arbitration eligible RFAs. If they go to player elected arbitration, the team can walk away from the ruling. These are rare but do happen (see Tim Kennedy). Also they can also be included in trade before a contract is signed (see Beck Malensytn). Until the contract is signed, that player is not officially on the roster no matter how much you want to pencil him in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we need to sign a starting level goalie right away in case Tim Kennedy scenario happens. Got it. Once the Sabres are back into communication after watching the development camp let them know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. Once the Sabres are back into communication after watching the development camp let them know. Obviously you don't follow RFAs very well. In the news today, Shane Pinto, an RFA, has been unable to reach a new contract with Ottawa and has requested a trade. Don't assume anything. Maybe that's too hard a concept for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted Monday at 08:48 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:48 PM There's no way they're walking away from UPL, even if he goes to arbitration and wins. They could potentially walk away from Joki, but I don't think he'll cost that much and he's a good enough player that I believe they will want to retain him, so I don't see that happening either.

Rasmus_ Posted Monday at 08:53 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:53 PM I'd like to see them try to upgrade one of them. That's been my main sign of contention with the defense core. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
