[SundherDome]

So much tampering

I mean, this team isn't one Taylor Hall short of fixing itself, but if you can add top shelf talent for "free" you do so and mess around on the back end to adjust.

Tsn just mentioned Buffalo as a team who could offer Hall "lots of term and lots of dollars"

Not sure how I feel about this.

This is gonna be interesting. Hall loves Ralph

We are definitely capable of it. He wasn't really saying we are going to, though.

Adams has contacted Brad Richards. Terry Pegula needs closure

 

[Sabre Dance]

Sabres will be in on the big names to show their players they're trying to win. They know the big names aren't coming to Buffalo. So this is fake news.

 

[Wisent42]

My guess is Hall would only talk to us is to drive up his price until he signs with someone else. It's worked before.

If Buffalo is willing to give term where other teams aren't though..

 

[threeVo]

Its the same story every year. Buffalo is in on XXX to drive up their price because other teams will assume bad team, with bad owner, will make strong monetary offer and they need to compete.

 

[enthusiast]

If we make a player more expensive for someone else that's not the worst thing either

This is July 1, 2011 all over again. And we all know how well that worked out.

I have no idea who is even available as a FA this year. But if I tell you my top two FA goals can you tell me available players to fill those roles:
-Competent third line center that can be penned into that spot to start the season, pushing Cozens and Mitts to compete for winger spots (and if we’re lucky overtake him At center if they excel)
-Top four speedy shutdown Dman. I’ve been planning for someone like Brodin for years, that has eite suppression metrics using speed and quickness. I want to pair said guy with Joker and let them handle all the heavy lifting. Free up Dahlin, Risto, and company to be more offensive minded

 

[HaNotsri]

Time for some first class Sabres filibustering!

 

[Deevo]

Tsn about to run a Jack Eichel speculation piece.. ugh

 

[SundherDome]

Not sure how I feel about this.

Shh, just let it happen and accept that it happened

 

[Sabre Dance]

I don't believe it though. We've seen this before and don't land the player. Why would this be any different?

[Sabre Dance]

Shh, just let it happen and accept that it happened

I felt uncomfortable reading this. Lol

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Sigh.

 

[Husko]

Giving Hall a huge ass deal has all the hallmarks of a long term disaster. But given we’re in a window to win now while Eichel is still young, f*** it why not let’s try.
