Toughening up our bottom line & bottom pair doesn’t make us a well rounded team
It just means we’ll play our top9 & top4 more,
and those guys will hardly play

More brilliance from you though 👏👏👏

Overpay where? Looks like you specifically went for cheap deals. If you're going to overpay CBJ go get Jiricek. Levi rn is much better than Martin Jones. Thompson also failed as a winger

He’s been getting roasted by many for his outlandish trade ideas where the Sabres severely overpay
Seems he’s finally starting to listen to his fellow Sabres fans & toning it down a bit
It’s about time 🤣🤣🤣

Jokiharju may return a 2nd, but I doubt it will be from the Canes who have 6 defenseman above him on the roster.
