That quote from Ralph about Skinner is so bad. I will personally punch Ralph Krueger in the face if he ever talks that way about my beautiful son Jeffy Skinny ever again.

I am not at all a Jeff Skinner fan, but lol it couldn't be any clearer that Krueger knows he's getting fired and is just trolling now.

In retrospect it was pretty insane that the Sabres gave $9mx8 to a guy who had a career high of 63 points and had been averaging a 55 point pace to that point in his career.

Probably depends who had money on the table for him this off-season. Hall's bigger problem is the cap going absolutely no where again this year. However, depending on how Seattle shakes out there could be better offers this summer if some teams can clear cap. Better question is who grabs him as a rental and what it costs.

It's hard to say because he hit UFA in the worst possible year, but supposedly 25 teams showed serious interest in him. It's unlikely anyone was offering a big money multiyear deal in October, but he bet on the pandemic being a one year thing and took the short term deal.

He'll be thirty this year, I can't imagine he'll get that 7 year $70m+ deal he'd been banking on anymore. I figure he'll either resign in Buffalo or take a short deal reclamation deal somewhere. Either way, this has gone about as terribly as could be imagined for him.

I think in 'normal' times Hall might have gotten something similar to Panarin. Unfortunately, with the economics being what they are, it is really hard to say. 5x6.5-7? Would anyone do 6x8mil? Hall has probably missed out on at least idk 1.5 to 2 mil a year per because of pandemic.

If I had to guess I'd say he turned down a few 6-7 year deals wroth 6.5+ and he'll likely never be offered a contract like that again. Props to him for doing what he wanted and trying to game the system. Shame the whole "sign cheep and play with an elite C then get flipped to a contender" went about as badly as possible but at least he tried. Not like he'll ever want for anything but still a pretty funny self own.

Zucc got 5x6 at 32. I think Hall is unlikely to get a 7 year deal unless it's a discount. 6x6.5 I could see from a few teams.

Jul 23, 2004

It'll all depend on where he gets moved at this deadline and how he performs with his new team.

If he puts up respectable numbers there you can bet a lot of GMs will convince themselves he was just tainted by the curse of being on buffalo and toss him a long term deal worth 7-8 mil per

3% shooting and he isn't really an out and out goal scorer. Only been 30+ once with 2 other seasons where with a full 82 he would have hit it.

I don't think it qualifies as wild speculation to suggest that the Sabres quit on Krueger a long time ago and Eichel and Hall are very much included in that.

It's pretty surprising Eichel hasn't requested a trade honestly, absolutely no one outside of Buffalo would blame him.

They need as many future assets as possible and to clear more cap. Zajac isn't going anywhere, I think Gusev and Vatanen are definitely gone. Murray and Kulikov they may try to re-sign at least one of them. Palmieri I think might go since they can get a lot for him.

I think Gusev, Vatanen and Palmieri are the guys they can trade. Maybe Suban? He's been a little better this year but overall bad. Maybe Severson? They could probably get something for Wood but you'd hope that he would be on the next good Devils team since he's young.

I know Suzuki is perfectly good but any Habs fan that wouldn’t be ecstatic about this deal is insane. Neither Suzuki or Romanov comes close and the first won’t be that valuable. I think Eichel gets underrated being on the Sabres.

RAS I could only watch the first period tonight and I just gave the highlights a watch. Looks like just a whole bunch of odd man chances for Pittsburgh the rest of the game, did we put up any fight at all or was it more or less a continuation of that 1:10 or whatever it was where we allowed 3 goals?
