Key questions are who replaces Greenway/Zucker, Clifton/Joker...do they cost more that $7m in Cap Space they have now?

Adams is looking 2 seasons down the road when JJP (+$5-$6m), Quinn (+$4-$6m), Byram (+$2m), Levi (+$1.5m), McLeod, (+$2m) and Johnson (+$1.5m) are all under new Contracts and the Skinner Buyout increases by $5m...which is +$21-$23m, roughly right.
There are offsets, coming from Greenway (-$3m), Clifton (-$3.3m), Zucker -$5m), and Joker -$3.1m)...so about ~$15m in relief, plus higher Cap of say $7m - $8m .... a total of -$23m in offsets.

Roughly right, they are "even" with the Contract increases less the Departures and Cap Increase...but minimally they need to replace Greenway/Zucker, and Joker/Clifton ... are those in the Pipeline or do they need to source in FA and how much do they cost?

Samuelsson is probably the worst contract on the team currently.

He will be the first buy out with the new GM eventually.

Terrible on ice value vs overpaid contract

Are there manatees there? Can we eats them?

He never hit waivers, so has to be there. Maybe he stopped as that's 23 names, but NAK being on IR gives them the extra spot.

Happy birthday, top-5 GM

This is year 4 of looking 2 seasons down the road. These are just excuses you make when you can't spend to the cap and you can't throw your owner under the bus.
- Lunaion

Also an excuse that is made when you can't identify quality players to sign or trade for, and your constant refrain is you only want players who want to be in Buffalo.

This is bullpoop. I am going to get some petitions together. No way to know who came up with this malarky about not eating, or even mildly molesting, manatees, but we MUST end this now.

Manatee short ribs for all!
- QuinnFan

Nowhere in the statute does it say you can't eat them.

Worst Contracts on the Team ?
Dahlin
Tage
Cozens
Hopefully they get in a groove and it's just getting to know a system. Lot of money for BLAH!

Looking like Drafting to! Looking like we wasted five years of drafts.

It doesn't, but it does say I mustn't hunt or kill one. I suppose if I casually come across one and just take a few bites, we coo. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

How much do you believe development to be a part of that? We've had a lot of high picks and quality prospects fall by the wayside as time goes on. Going back from the Bailey/Baptistes of the world to now with guys like Rosen (who I liked a lot even up to last season), we seem to have good quality until it gets here. Other teams seem to get these guys to hit, so is the issue more on the side of development to you?

Go have the New Dominator burger! Looks like a huge Baconator from Wendy's

Think it's both, and the Sabres don't bring in players to help mentor and with good leadership to Help.

All 3 of these guys are very good hockey players and fairly durable.

Are they really nhl stars? Definitely getting paid like top echelon nhl players.

Samuelsson looks terrible and is completely unreliable . Fitting in as a 3rd pairing as a ceiling.
