Rosen looks way better than he ever did

I’ve been thinking about EEE-sock.  What makes him a great AHL player.  It’s his awareness.  Always seems to find the puck in space.  Hope he makes me look prescient.  

[DarthEbriate]

So...  Olivier is a UFA. Think Adams could entice him to not think about palm trees for...  5x$5M? 

(note: this would be an utterly terrible contract, but not necessarily for this franchise.)

The acne cleared and a beard is coming in.

More SOG’s please…..the BJ’s are not very healthy, but you wouldn’t know it based on the quality of play so far.

EDIT - nice shot by Byram!

When was the last time the Sabres had a player that when they got in a fight, you actually thought they would win more than they would lose?

Alright... that was staged and silly. So... now that Olivier's off the ice... who's next?

[Pimlach]

Byram making his case for a deadline trade.

Do RFAs get dealt at the trade deadline?

Yes.  We traded Mitts last year.

Or you get rid of Samuelsson and use that money on Byram

Really?  Who did we get for him?

I got no problem keeping and paying Byram but think dude has 1.5 skates out the door. 

[DarthEbriate]

Gah, great look for Jiri and a post.

Wasn't he unrestricted?

Might be one of the more interesting stories of the offseason...what does he get paid here, and what term length.

[Thorner]

Everyone hates the team and now they can’t be stopped lol 

Can’t write it 

I’m telling you, this could be it

If he got a bridge deal, how many more years before he becomes a UFA?

[Dreams Burn Down]

How does doing The Wave work in a half empty arena?

It doesn't.

I missed the stupid staged fight from Gilbert as my wife decided to unplug our WiFi right before the game started.  Probably for the best.  I would have skewered this org more than I already do which is saying something.

SOG’s 11 to 5 in favor of the CBJ

I thought he was an RFA and will be a UFA in 2027.  I could be wrong.   Either way, an RFA or UFA can be traded at the deadline, the risk is that the acquiring team might only get a rental.
