I will get banned again soon, worry not.
True enough but the fact is that if you polled every player in the league with the question "live in Buffalo or live in Montreal", a solid majority will choose Buffalo and it has zero to do with how good or bad either team is on the ice.
Probably 90% of Francophone players would say Buffalo too.
Once Habs draft picks get acclimated they will stay
Free agents ...fuck em no need to overpay these vets
Couldnt give a fuck if Rantanen types at 29 take the stupid money elsewhere
Most will be on the trade block a few years later

Not playing around anymore.
I'm ok with that although I would have liked to move Dvorak out with the price Centers have been going for.

Buffalo vs Montreal is a really easy choice for me

We must remember that Sabres players don't actually live IN Buffalo proper, they live in very nice enclaves nearby. Harry Neale and Scotty Bowman both live in Western New York. But yeah, Buffalo itself and Niagara Falls NY are absolute hell holes.

Reward them by doing nothing? Hmm-kay.

I’m glad we didn’t make foolish trades….
But we should’ve traded a few expiring contracts. I understand that HuGo are juggling rebuild with keeping young core happy (Suzuki-Cole). By keeping some of their buddies (they are close with Dvorak), it’s HuGo’s way of keeping them happy without making foolish trades….cost him nothing

Suzuki publicly stated that he wanted management to keep everyone…that’s his reward…and he’s happier with that, rather than trading away his friends for other rewards/players
This off-season, HuGo will go for 2C….he might even trade Laine away for more help

I'm ok with the status quo, small reward for the players that have been busting their ass this season. I think we'll survive without that extra late 2nd round pick.

Would you get Bills season tickets?
And debatable if they did. Probably but not by that much.
