Blue & Gold Talk - Thoughts On Free Agency So Far 

Congrats Wayne. Big Grandson for you

Congratulations! I’m feeling hopeful that hitting will finally be back in Buffalo next season.

Congrats Wayne

Congrats, Wayne & and family. I have been a grandfather for 8 years myself and absolutely love it. Name him Gilbert, lol Wayne , our division got stronger today. I like our additions, but they are still not enough. Byrson earned his way back, performing the way he did down the stretch of the season.

congratulations grampa wayne and grandma rosie ❤🎉

Congratulations to you, your daughter on your new baby grandson. Cheers to your family

Congratulation Grandpa! I was awaiting for your takes on free agency so far.

Congratulations to your family and you Mr. Wayne! Wish y'all many blessings and a happy, healthy family!

Congratulations Wayne! Welcome to the club , being a poppy / grandfather is the best club! I have 3 grand kids. Love the new 4th line of Malenstyn Lafferty and Aube-Kubel. Sabres are no longer a SOFT team! Lots of grit there ! Im hoping - praying Adams can now trade for a 3rd line centre( Frost Phil , Tyler Johnson Chi or Bennett FLA) because we all know Krebs was an epic failure there last season. Looking forward to seeing the new 3rd D paring of Dennis Gilbert and Clifton. Jokiharju if not traded will be the 7thD Thanks for the video Wayne and congrats again.

Congrats on your New Power Forward Granda Wayne !

Congratulations 👩‍🍼 ⚔️ 💛👶💙 I smell a big fish coming 🎣 big trade if not this summer at some point next season

Been dying for your free agency thoughts!

Congratulations grandpa!!!

I really like your take on the roster. The talk in some many other forums is so unbelievable negative that I can't take it any more.

Congratulations and welcome to the Grandparent club.

Congrats to you, your daughter and family!

Congrats

Congratulations Wayne

Congratulations on being a grandfather. Like the meat we got in free agency,don’t think we have to do anything else, we got the talent already Go Sabres

Wayne! Missed your videos so much. Been wondering what your thoughts have been recently. Glad you are well

Congrats Wayne, family is always more important than hockey

Congrats Wayne! Go Sabres! Riemer was a good addition

Congratulations Wayne! 😎

Congratulations Wayne🙃

Congratulations on grandson!

Congrats on the grandkid Wayne!

Skinner is going to rack up the goals in Edmonton

Ik lots of fans are gonna call me crazy Wayne but I like the moves we made this offseason. We upgraded coaching we upgraded our bottom 6 we are much more physical we got a great young d core we have lots of young star forwards yes one more top 6 player would be good but we can’t overpay. Lots of teams today made questionable moves that will age horribly just look at what Boston paid guys so I’m still optimistic despite lots of pessimism in our own fan base

Wayne! Congrats to you and your family on becoming a grandfather.... In the meantime, you finally got what you wanted in getting rid of Skinner's bad contract by buying him out... Perhaps, he'll now help the Oiler's in winning a Stanley Cup as he signed as a free agent with Edmonton for one year at 3m on yesterday... Despite being very disappointed with Skinner's departure, in the end, Adams did the right thing as Skinner wasn't worth getting 9m annually... I was also very disappointed to see Zemgus Girgensons sign with Tampa Bay, but they offered him a better deal than what the Sabres offered him, as he signed a 3-year deal for $885k annually... Perhaps, he'll finally get to experience the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in his career with the Lightning... Needless to say, I wish him nothing but the very best... Thanks for all the memories to both Jeff Skinner and Zemgus Girgensons, as you will always be cherished during your time as members of the Buffalo Sabres Organization...

Congratulations, grandpa! 🎉

Wow congrats to your family. That’s amazing Wayne! Get that back right cuz he’s a big boy, you’re gonna need it lol.

Congrats on the new addition to the family! I'm a fan of the moves Buffalo has made so far. They needed to be tougher to play against and I think they did that. They essentially got an entire new 4th line, and they combined for over 540 hits last season between Lafferty, Malenstyn, and Aube-Kubel!

Congratulations Wayne! Very Happy for you and your family!

Congratulations Wayne! Looks like you've been in labor as well. ;) I have 2 daughters, I get how you feel. I have mixed feelings on buying out Skinner. It's done lets hope they make the best of it. Like you, I am encouraged by the physicality added to the roster. It's about time, right? Lindy is quickly making this his team. I've seen a fair amount of complaining over the draft and FA so far. Many seem to be upset with the trade for Malenstyn. I was happy to get Malenstyn. Others are disappointed with the lack of sexy free agent additions. I'm not so concerned about it. The current roster is better than it was last Friday. Including Lindy, for the first time in years I think we have a playoff caliber team. Looking forward to hearing your thought on the draft picks.

Congratulations Wayne! Welcome back to RU-vid! We missed ya, but don’t injure yourself adding a video into your stress! Enjoy time with your family!

congratulations!

ROAM! Congrats !!!

Congratulations to you and your daughter. I too shall join the grandparents club in December. My partner is both overjoyed and a little horrified about being a granny! Now if the Sabres could provide a suitable present...say a +500 season? That would be sweet. 😊

If there's one thing we learned from these playoffs, it's that there truly is, no more fighting in the NHL. However, the bullying/ intimidation factor is still out there. Hopefully, that's been addressed...

Congrats!!!

Congratulations Wayne! .....Great to see you back

Missed your takes. Thank you for taken some time to help us digress.

Also need guys that score more goals than they give up. Skinner for his career is a minus 130. Minus 2 last year.

Congrats!

Congratulations my friend!!! Welcome to "Grandfatherdom!" It's a cool club...

Grongrats!!!!

Congratulations Mr. Wayne . About the recent events ( Draft and free agency ) that Sabres did , I don't know, I'm new to the sport so I waited for you to make a video to understand what happened if it's good or not for the team I'm a fan of , so thank you for making this video.

Congrats Wayne What do people want Kevyn to do hold players at gunpoint and force them to play in Buffalo? There is not much he can do if the players say no to an offer glad we have more players who can check

Power for Mathews

Congratulations to you and your daughter Wayne!

💙💛💙

Congrats on becoming a Grampa... the good news.. Grand kids are more fun... I know many are complaining because the sabres didn't make the big splash.. but really, I didn't see many "Big Spash" guys out there that weren't too close to 35 (stamkos, Kane.. etc).. so that was difficult.. they may still make a trade for the big splash.. I don't know who may be available...

Congrats Wayne! Try nudging her towards naming him Stanley though 😁👍 My biggest concern though is that there may have been an over correction when it came to signing physical players. While Zucker has an offensive upside, I’m a little worried that we’re going to struggle to get goals from out Bottom 6. I also agree on the Bryson thing, but not as much as resigning Kale Clague. I just hope that these signings keep Johnson from playing games in Buffalo next season.

@Happy Canada Day, Wayne and every one of those homies in Ottawa. Congratulations 💙🤍💛

Waynsey!!! Congrats!!!Papa Waynsey!! Put skates on that kid now…future net crasher eh 😊

Congrats, great news Not a fan of the Skinner buyout. If we don't spend to cap limit it doesn't make sense. So there has to come more.

Now, its a question of how Lindy will use these new guys. A 4th line to grind teams down, or spread them out to "possibly" open up ice for the skill guys. 👍👍

Been waiting to hear your thoughts on the roster. Congrats on becoming a grandpa!

I am very interested to see if we had any meaningful talks with Stamkos and what came out of that, this is an absolute make up break season for the Sabres no excuses they need to make the playoffs this year and congrats on the new baby!

I don't have any issues with the signings. Lafferty, Zucker and Kubel were all good depth guys. Adams does need to get a top 6 winger, but I know he can trade for that. I feel there were so many signings that players were getting more than their worth due to the teams rushing to sign them. I also was disappointed in signing Bryson, but perhaps Adams isn't getting the players he thought were gonna be interested in playing here. My biggest concern was is Zucker for 5 mil and seeing Skinner signing for 3 mil with Edm....is Zucker really almost twice the player Skinner was (since almost twice the price)?

Once again another uneventful off-season. Wooo I'm jumping of my seat for these 4th liners. While Nashville completely loads up their team

Congrats Grandpa 😎👍

Savioe for McLeod. What is Adams doing... Unless he said he doesn't want to play in Buffalo. This is a terrible trade.

I agree we need more physical guys but my concern is faceoffs . We cant keep chasing the play after every faceoff.

Wow what are the odds on August?! My wife is pregnant with a boy and we are naming him Augustine

I think Adams is done signing free agents. I also think he won't be making any trades either. What would be the projected line-up as of today?

Congrats Grandpa Wayne! lol

GRANDPA!!!!

I think we should get Crosby

,44 hours wow I knew you were busy ,they kept Bryson because they know Sammie will get hurt lets get Rhino back

Don't you think Buffalo could have used their second round pick they used to get Malenstyn for acquiring Chychrun in a trade instead. They could have got Malenstyn for a cheaper price.

Wayne!!!! I became a first time Grandpa on June 28th . when did you?

Hey grandpa, lol. Sabres made the right moves. Make it hard to come to buffao to play. Can you give some hit stats from the Stanley cup finals. My God, it seemed if you touched the Puck, you were getting hit.

I’m with you Wayne , trade for Sam Bennett.

Is this a new blue and gold talk Intro or has it just been too long since a blue and gold talk video?

Congrats Grandpa! I hope that Mom and baby are well, great news. I am so tired of Adams playing wiffle ball when the rest are playing hard ball. Totally underwhelming! This was another half hearted effort, just like firing Granato and only bringing in Lindy instead of letting him bring in his own team of coaches. Yeah, Clague and Bryson? When you see the number of prospects from Rochester that went today, it just irks me. If there was interest in these guys, then there was a lost opportunity to move them during the season for a piece, which leads me to wonder if the other young guys are losing their value by not using the trade pieces effectively.

Could they go for Tarensenko

do you think adams is going after jack roslovic?

I’m a little underwhelmed, the only thing I really wanted was for Adams to not do anything stupid like the Chandler Stevenson contract.

“Mrs. Seinfeld, please, I’m begging you. Put the air conditioner on.”

Skinner is gonna have 40 goals and win the cup with mcdavid this year hahaha seems like everyone we get rid of wins the cup the next year.

My takes- #1- GMKA stayed away from the losing poker table. The one that had 4 to 6 year big money deals going to a lot of 33/34+ year old players. I see lots of buyouts 2 years from now. #2- GMKA added over 400 hits to this roster in the early offseason. 👍

Signing Bryson is a waste.

The fan base is absolutely hysterical right now. I'm starting to think everyone is negative Nancy's now.

The problem I have with Adams finally is that he bought a top 6 forward out to get more cap space and he doesn’t replace him. The signings he made yesterday do not replace Skinner. This is offseason could put Adams on the hot seat. His press conference talking about saving money for future guys in our system was a head scratcher… why? Next offseason we have 38 million….

Adams deserves to get fired for this offseason.

The new roster has Lindy’s fingerprints all over it. I feel as if they’re insulting our stars like Tommer or tuchy. Tired of have to see guys like Tommer drop the gloves when he shouldn’t have to. We’re set in the bottom 6

Stay safe out of the path of the hurricane due to impact Florida Monday onwards @jasoncrandell. The Sabre community need, love your updates on all hockey matter sourced out of FL.❤

Congratulations
