Word is the Sabres are kicking around on the Canes Pesce.
Reading NHL rumors a lot. I guess I should be happy that the Sabres don't show up in them often. That means the powers at be feel pretty good about what they have and aren't feeling pressured into making desperate moves.
They signed Jack Johnson. If they get a good player in the draft and pulled off a UPL for Hellebuyck trade, I'd be stoked for the upcoming season. Heck, I'm stoked about it anyway.
Still want them to get a Jay McKee clone for the back end. Don't know that Johnson is that.

Rumor w/o link? Shame on the forum moderator. (j/k). Leave it to a goaltender. Let me assist:

This would hurt. Peca may go to coach with the rangers in an associate role
Peca has been amazing in Roch

Sabres re-sign Zegmus Girgensons (one year, $2.5 million) and Lucas Rousek (2 years, AAV of $775,000).

Championship coming.
Sounds like the Sabres are letting jost walk
No one cares.
Jost, Hinostroza and Clague all had plenty of time to shine and they didn't. Clague might have a place in the NHL as a 7th defenseman. But neither Jost nor Hinostroza (who got the longer look) have done enough to stay. The Sabres have younger, better players ready to come up. When you can't stick to the roster of the NHL's all-time play-off no-show team, then you probably don't belong in the NHL. And that is what's going on with these three.
3rd line forwards have to be defensively responsible and still score at a somewhat regular pace.

Lukas Rousek will replace one of the above mentioned forwards....
LINKThe 24-year-old led the Rochester Americans in scoring during the regular season with 56 points (16 goals, 40 assists) and added 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) during the Americans’ run to the Calder Cup Eastern Conference Final. He also played two games near the end of the year for the Sabres and scored his first NHL goal and an assist in two games.
Rousek was a 2019 sixth-round pick of the Sabres in 2019 and is expected to challenge for a bottom-six role with the Sabres at training camp, but even if he does not make the big club, the winger will likely be coming up and back the 90 from Rochester throughout the season as a callup when someone is injured.
And now some good news. It seems jost is likely to be tendered. The Sabres want to bring him back.

The price of getting Pesce would be quite steep:

meh. Sign him and trade him for Pesce.
To follow up on #181: The Jacksonville IceMen have announced a news conference for Monday, July 17th at 10am to announce their new affiliation. They have been affiliated with the NY Rangers for the past 2 seasons.
Cue Mr. Spock saying "Fascinating." This may impact Buffalo and it may not. Watch this space.

Further follow-up: It looks like Jacksonville will be the new Sabres ECHL affil.

Oof. Jack Quinn had a ruptured Achilles fixed. He won't be ready for the start of the season
