What a disaster Sabres offseason looks like 

Worst off-season? You mean like re-signing Jost, Girgs, and Okposo for 7M dollars. Signing the corpse of Eric Johnson and overpaying for another 3rd pair defensemen. Deciding to hold onto the likes of Olofsson and Comrie. And my favorite was choosing not to find a replacement for Quinn. At least Adams may have aced the draft. Benson and Wahlberg are promising.

Why the hell would skinner waive his no movement clause to go to last place team. He gains nothing in this scenario. Worst case off-season: 1. Relying on 4 rookies from Rochester to fill all the opening forward spots. Not making trades/signing FAs to improve grit and talent. Or 2. Bringing 2 or more of these players back: okie, girgs, jost, Robinson, or Krebs. Or 3. Quinn gets injured and nothing gets done.

Also that capfriendly thing is just awful news. So dumb.

Payton Krebs is ONLY 23 YEARS OLD. We already know how players can come around later with Tage and Casey. Look at Florida with Samson, Bennett, Evan Rodriguez. Vancouver went far with Zadorov and Myers.

It doesn't make sense to me why our fans look for endless reasons to be negative.

On your Krebs rant... do you think coaching may have had something to do with his performance?

Skinner isn't waiving him no movement clause unless it's to a contender. You just talk out your but. If we are giving him away, retaining 4.5 mil a year for the next 3 years, and not getting anything in return for it... That move makes no sense when we got over 20 mil in cap space and it will only cost us 2 million a year for 4 years if we wait until next year to buy him out. And why is it so important to move him this year when we have a new coach that holds players accountable? Why not see what he looks like under ruff?

My best guess on why the Capitals are acquiring Capfriendly is for the name alone. It makes more sense that they could not use the name themselves and have no interest in any other aspect other than to own the web domain.

Skinner to the Sharks is something that popped into my head about a month ago, but I don't know if he would waive to go there. But due to recent events, another one could be Skinner for Laine straight up (Sabres might have to add a mid-round pick or so-so prospect). It would strictly be a change of scenery trade for both, and the salaries are close. No idea if CBJ would be interested but Skinner might be the best they can get for Laine given the situation. As for a "disaster offseason", it will be a battle to make the playoffs even with a good offseason - 8 teams made the playoffs in the EC, but another 4-5 were in the mix, as well. Next season won't be any different.

The only disaster I keep seeing is former Sabres playing in the Finals the last several years. Meaning the players weren’t really the problem it’s been the coaching.

again skinner has a full no movement clause. He isn't going anywhere unless its to the Leafs. Not happening. they will have to by him out.

Can Skinner just be waved. Then, if no one claims him. Bury him in Rochester. Then maybe he'd waive his no move

Worst off season....resign Olofsson, Girgenson and Jost . Jost as your 4th line centre and Krebs 3rd line centre! Best off season ....trade 11th overall pick in a package for Boone Jenner CBJ, Sam Bennett FLA, Cole Perfetti Win, OR Morgan Frost Philadelphia 2. Sign either UFA Dakota Joshua Van or Ryan Lomberg FLA as winger to join Greenway & Krebs on the 4th line. 3. Sign UFA D man Brett Pesce Carolina to partner Owen Power. Samuelsson moves to 3rd pair with Cifton and Ryan Johnson is 7th D . Jokiharju is traded.

Washington buying that site makes me almost as mad as trying to watch a podcast with annoying advertisements in it😎

As a Florida Panthers South Florida resident, this is our way of getting you guys back for the Bills..... Oh, and those Jerseys you guys have are #1 in my book in the NHL. Home and Away, I love them, and Go Panthers/Dolphins!!!!

I think the Caps are using area denile. If the other teams don't have the tech it will impact them.

Really only half a year with UPL

Where’s Melody Martin???

Sabres seem to have young promising centers….any thought on Lindy moving Tate back to wing…. he only went to center because they had no centers on roster….

Caps Friendly 😂😂

Trafing levi would ve the worst

Disaster off-season? Stay tuned you're gonna witness it with this gm

Disaster off-season 1. Skinner still on team opening night 2. Greenway being asked to play in Top 9 3. Krebs as 3rd line center 4. UPL signed to 7 year deal 5. Failing to get a Top 9 Center and Top 6 winger

Laughable.. that the sharks would even be able to stop laughing at a skinner deal... Offseason Disaster: They resign ANY of their UFA's (well, can keep Robinson).. They need to let ALL of the rest walk. RFA's are fine.. our UFA's are our worst parts. 1 or 2 star signings won't get this team over the hump.. If they do go UFA shopping, they have to choose wisely.. Levi is a year at the most away from being our #1 UPL should get nothing more than a bridge. Levi will push him out before the end of next year (if he's not run out before) Resigning our UFA is worse than all rookies at this point... as far as Cap Friendly.. May the washington capitals NEVER SEE second worst until they undo their damage.. I wish nothing but the basement and failed draft picks...

Send UPL to arbitration looking for a 2 yrs. Then, if he stays consistent. Longterm deal or move him out for Levi to take over

owen power and Andrew "flopp" these guys are in the league for police man's over sensitivities #nhl

Washington Salary Caps

No matter what UPL does Levi is the future so if i was his agent seek a trade where he could flourish & not be encumbered by a supposed all star goalie (so I hear)

Still trying to finger out how Stinky Joe got this gig. Most of the responders to this podcast seem much more knowledgeable about the NHL in general and the Sabres in particular than Jo-Jo the Monkey. This is the kind of podcast you get when it's early June, the draft isn't for another 3 weeks, training camp doesn't start for another 3+ months and you have to talk about something/anything. Sorry Jo-Jo...you need to find someone else to "write" your material cuz what you put out today is just junk.

Skinner doesn't waive to goes to the Sharks.

Worst offseason: -Not addressing the bottom six and starting 3+ rookies next year -Signing another goaltender to create a carousel situation like they've had. -Keeping Krebs at 3C -Keeping Skinner Also PuckPedia ftw.

You’d be lucky if anybody even considers taking Skinner. Unfortunately, I expect a buyout on his contract. Sorry, Joe. I don’t think he’s moving.

Skinny stays one more year. You trade him to SJ would be shitty. Playing a long career and never seeing the playoffs would be sad.

Playing with benson means nothing tbh. He had what 30 points so to say he didn’t score with Bendon honestly means nil

I think if we sign a couple of good middle six guys and add 2 prospects and Levi, we can be much improved.

The only disaster scenario I can see is if Kevyn Adams fails to sign free agents and they refuse to play in Buffalo. Summer of 2023 was a disaster off-season, in retrospect. They kept Granato, failed to get a veteran goalie, signed Erik Johnson, didn't trade Olofsson, didn't get any tougher to play against.

Samuelson should have went last year when he had more value. Skinner needs to go for sure and gurgs needs to go too. Been there way too long. Krebs isnt that great but could be on another team.
