Swayman reset the goalie market, as intended. Now a #1 is going to be looking for Vasilevskiy money. Levi's agent is tenting his fingers and smiling. Quote
#freejame Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 (edited) That’s an awful contract for Ottawa. Massive overpay for a mid-tier goalie. Edited October 9 by #freejame 1 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 Daccord just got 5x$5M from the Kraken for 69 games of NHL experience. He was a UFA at the end of the season and was an original octopus expansion pick. Good job, Swayman! Quote

Good job, Swayman! nah goalie landscape been barren for years, some might nog get why adams chose this way with our goalie situation, but I sure do. Quote

mjd1001 Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 (edited) Well, the Leafs are better than the Sabres, but might be just as frustrating for some fans: -Matthews, $13.25m per year, multiple time 60+ goal scorer -Nylander, $11.5m per year, 2 points shy of 100 last season -Tavares, $11.0 m per year -Marner, $10.9m per year What does that get you in terms of exciting, high powered hockey? -haven't scored more than 2 goals in the last 6 games -3 wins in the last 12 games (non preseason) -Playoffs last year and first game this year, 12 total goals in last 8 games (1.5 goals per game) -12 games in a row since they won a game in which they scored more than 3 goals.

Billznut Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 (edited) Forgot Olofsson was in Vegas. Nice early goal for him. He will probably score 25-30 fairly easily on that team. Edited October 10 by Billznut 1 1 Quote

I always thought the hate for olofsson was overblown. Maybe he's not the 2nd coming of Bob Gainey, but he can put pucks in nets... Something this team sorely lacks. 3 3 Quote
Flashsabre Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Looks like some routs going in opening night. Quote
Mr Peabody Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Looks like Oilers started the wrong Skinner in goal tonight. Quote
ASlugAbove Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Oloffson has 2 goals tonight bcuz of course he does 1 1 Quote
Billznut Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 (edited) Olofsson with 2, Mittelstadt with 1 and Eichel with 3 assists through 40 minutes. Meanwhile the Sabres struggle to score 1 goal per game. Lol Yep sounds about right. Edited October 10 by Billznut 3 1 Quote

Ullmark with the same money as Swayman nota surprise (boy are those guys close friends :)) but D'Accord was a surprise. One year of good play. Risky. Goalies are weird. Upset night tonight. Shut outs galore. Montreal goalie will want more money too soon . Quote

Some people in Buffalo acted like a former 30 goal scorer and sniper grows on trees. So yeah, now that he's with a good team his talents will come out even more. 1 Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Brutal watching Olofsson score 2 and Mittlestadt got 1 also. It's mind blowing to me and a bit sad. Quote

Just wait until VO pulls an Evan Rodriques in the playoffs while the Sabres are still sitting at home. Incomplete player, absolutely. But in the right setup and having a playmaker to draw eyes away... he's a 20G scorer, and not everyone can be that. I still think that in 5 more years you can look around and see VO had a really nice little career with 160 goals and played for 4-5 teams, and he got traded for once at the deadline as additional playoff scoring help. And 10 years from now he's a "remember some guys" guy. Remember when VO had "Gimme Gimme Gimme" as his goal song? 1 Quote

We'll see, but I believe this is how it shakes out. Dude can effing SHOOT the sh1t out of the puck. A rare talent. He does need the right situation. It's been generations, and the Sabres are never the team that can provide that "right situation" for an incomplete player who does one thing (or maybe a few things) extremely well. 1 1 Quote
