His NHL numbers aren’t overly impressive, I think Sabres made the right move in not signing him (if he had agreed of course). Hopefully they’ll drop some players and pickup another strong forward.

Connolly needs to go. I can’t say I’m surprised nobody has taken him yet. He takes up a lot of cap space for a player who doesn’t produce.

Crazy to think that Richards was getting offers of up to 12.5 mil per year. That is insane to turn down, but I understand why.

4.75M AAV…Wow, how did he get a raise? I thought he was severely overpaid before? Best of luck to Toronto I guess. Maybe he can resurrect his career in TO

Here’s the article on it;

In reference to possibly playing on the same line as Kessel;

Same issue he had in Buffalo… take the shot!! I was always a fan of him but he missed some great scoring chances b/c he was to concerned with making a play vs putting the puck on net.

Sabres re-sign Mike Weber…He’s got a lot of grit, but still needs some work. I like him.

The Sabres backend might start to be one of the most fear D-core in the league.

Sabres locked up Jhonas Enroth. Multi-year deal, more details coming. Happy they nailed him down, he’s got a lot of promise.

IIRC the first preseason game is Monday, against the Hurricanes. Anyone else see their newest toy, a _laser_-leveled zamboni? Levels the ice to _plus / minus .05mm._

Sabres Preseason on RDS? What the heck is RDS? I can’t find it on my DirecTV.

Also, did anyone else look at the scheduling page on [Sabres.com](http://Sabres.com)? 60% of the games won’t be on TV this year??? Are they negotiating with MSG+ or something?

I’m pretty sure those games or on MSG they just figure they don’t have to tell us unless Pegula is purchasing his own station. lol
