Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 So if Florida ends up getting swept by TB tonight, Buffalo would end up getting their R1 #25? I wasn’t sure, but was guessing based on FL potentially being the 1st out of the final 8 eliminated.

So if they’re eliminated the pick is #28 as May Day mentioned. 1
Jauronimo Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 The Amerks got smoked in the second period last night. I am hoping to see a more competitive game tonight. 1. Quinn has been largely invisible. There is speculation he's playing through injury. I hope thats the case, as strange as that sounds. 2. Peterka looks dangerous every time he has the puck. He's the real deal. 3. Ruotsalainen, despite his production, belongs in the A and I don't think I can be convinced otherwise. I just don't see it 5 v 5. Hes scored some nice PP goals but he does nothing for me. 4. Krebs has flashed from time to time but he is largely ineffective. I thought he looked better playing against NHLers than he has in the few games I've seen of him in Rochester. 5. Aaron Dell just isn't good enough. At anything. For anything.

Called him the “Fake Ristolainen”. I guess he’s the only one now 😂
BillsFan4 Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 With the panthers getting swept last night, the Sabres draft position is finalized for all 3 first round picks. They will pick #9, #16 and #28 (unless they trade one of the picks, obviously). 4

I somehow misread your original as saying we had round 2 pick 2. Not sure how I did that.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 'Sabres Sign Rosen to Entry Level Contract'. Is there nothing this man cannot do?! 🤔

May Day 10 Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Very low benchmark for a hallowed honor tbh. Sabres hof? Sure. He won't even be in the hhof. No championships. Won the vezina but was only in the top 5 once. The sabres' retired numbers are so gunked up. What's going to happen if they have glory years? 2

The silver medal in the 2010 Olympics is a prime example. I know. "He should have won the Gold". But if it wasn't for Miller, the US would not have been in the Gold medal game.
Draconator Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 They needed to take on salary to get to the cap floor. Nothing like $26 million to do just that.

I’d rather use the cap space for a player that can actually contribute, not just sit on injured reserve. Or at least get more than a 7th round pick for helping Dallas get cap compliant, especially now with cap space at such a premium. I am not a big fan of these Ottawa style moves to hit the salary cap floor by sending as little money as possible. I’d rather see them overpay for a starting caliber goaltender to actually play for them. Its not that big of a deal though. The Sabres still have tons of cap space. But this makes me think they likely plan to be a salary cap floor team again. 1 1
