1) Internal candidates: Reinhart and Mittelstadt
2) External FA: Bozak, Stastny
3) Another trade: Who is this year’s William Karlsson

Thoughts?

Alright, let the final watch begin.

Is this Alex's year, or is he riding the train to bust town?

With the 2018 draft in our rearview mirror, it's time for us, Sabres Fans, to turn our attention to the 2019 draft and start thinking about what BUF needs to do to secure the best odds in the Jack Hughes lottery.

Let's face it, Buffalo isn't winning the Cup this season. So it would be a disservice to try and finish anywhere but dead last as Jack Hughes is truly a once in a lifetime generational talent... not counting McDavid, Eichel and Matthews... and maybe Dahlin.

So rev... Читать дальше...

We know the locker room has issues. That said Dahlin doesn't seem to care about any of that. I would call him business-like in his approach to the game. He is a relentless worker. He doesn't practice he trains. He is probably either the best or second best player on the team by the end of this season. He's competitive AF. Why am I bringing attention to this? Because I think Dahlin will bend that room to him with just his humble demeanor and undeniable skill. I am not saying he's gonna be the captain, I think he is a quiet person. Читать дальше...

The deadline to qualify RFAs is today at 5pm. That list includes

Reinhart, O'Regan, Bailey, Baptiste, Wilson, Smith, Malone, Antipin, and Kasdorf

I know it's way too soon, but the 2018-2019 line up is going to be challenging CAP-wise.  I know a lot can happen, but the team is at $64 mil this year.  I figure Jack gets $10 mil and Sam gets retiring Georges money (3.9mil).  That leaves them at $74 million (if the team signs all others at their 2018 levels, including Kane).  If Beaulieu gets $1.5 and Girgs get $1mil this year and next, you can see it gets tight.  The places to get relief are buyouts of Moulson, Pominville, and Bogo.  Also goalie...

"Hey, kid. You need to see the private room we have in this place on Chippewa. Oh yeah, Chippewa is an Indian word for 'many crabs.' We do blow off of Keith Radford's back. Give me your InstaSnap and we'll hook you up, brahski."

This forum is always good for advice on topics outside of hockey and I bet this will be no different. I know Bio has regaled us with stories of her house nightmares, so maybe others have things to contribute?

Although home-ownership not in our immediate plans, Josie and I talk frequently about our desire to stop throwing money into the apartment rental void. Our lives are still a little too unpredictable at the moment, but I think within the next two years I want to take a stab at it.

Here's Dahlin walking around with Gilbert

Let's see if we can give this thread a long run. Post up what you are consuming, restaurant, homemade, just something you are really enjoying at the moment, whatever......

It is Saturday afternoon. The wife is not home. And I have no plans. For lunch I just made myself a plate of Yancy's Fancy Bergenost cheese, good pepperoni, and an assortment of crackers. Opened a bottle of Ovila Saison to quench my thirst. Life is good.

How about you?

Carlson, Tavares, JVR are some of the top UFAs available.

I have included Matt Cane’s List of UFAs and RFAs and what he expects them to sign for.

I certainly would sign JVR for his projection, 3 years 5.5 Million and Calvin DeHaan 1 year 1.6 Million.

Although that’s a slight raise for JVR and a pay cut for DeHaan, I doubt either happen

For reference he has Samson on a 2... Читать дальше...
