    Re: Sabres news and notes

    Anyone have comments about Okposo resigning for next year?

    My feeling is "he's done," they need to clear room for the young players.

      It’s 2.5. Not like the horrific deal he just came off.

      in other news… did you all take note of what a franchise Goalie can do for an eight seed ?

            From the above link...

            Komarov was Buffalo's fifth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft

            Buffalo, N.Y. (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Sabres have signed another prospect from their 2022 NHL Draft class, inking defensemen Vsevolod Komarov to his three-year entry-level contract.

            Komarov was Buffalo's fifth-round selection (134th overall) in this past year's draft after playing his draft year in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Quebec Remparts.

            The Russian-born blue liner put up 39 points (12+27) in 69 games this past season for the Remparts, plus eight points (1+7) in 18 playoff games. The 6-foot-2, 182-pound defenseman helped Quebec to a QMJHL championship win over the Halifax Mooseheads and an appearance in the CHL Memorial Cup.

            The 19-year-old still has one year remaining of eligibility playing in the QMJHL before he's able to make the jump to the pros.

            Komarov is the fifth member of the Sabres' 2022 NHL Draft class to sign his entry-level contract, joining first-rounders Matthew Savoie, Noah Ostlund, and Jiri Kulich, along with third-round pick Viktor Neuchev.

              He's a heart and soul guy. I expect him to be rotated in over a true regular.

                  Right, but labeling someone a franchise goalie before conceding to something much broader than that matters.

                  Bob got hot at the right time and Tkatchuk is a top 5 player in the league.

                    Bobs was a franchise goaltender in the past. Respect us older folk. Ageism is mean.

                      I don't disagree. But now, he's barely a guy. Except now

                        Rumor going around that Dahlins extension is done, just waiting until July 1 to put pen to paper.

                        The rumor is 8/10 for 80

                            puts him 3rd in AAV behind Doughty and Karlsson but ahead of Makar and Fox. Probably pretty close to market providing it wasn't a fluke year. Personally I don't think so but that is they only way you get burned out of this contract I think.

                              I think once the flat cap era passes, it'll be a very solid deal

                                Especially if he plays the same or better.
