their are very few people left with the Sabres that are familiar with Campbell. McGinn and GMTM were very far apart last time they talked. Carrier is a top 6 forward in Roch, Schnieder is going to Russia if he doesn't get a NHL gig. Colaiacovo disappointed the Sabres, he wont be resigned, nor are they going to resign Legwand especially for that much, they dont need Johnson, Ullmark is ready. Theyre going all in this year because the team is under a lot of pressure to get to the playoffs. Sabres are going to do something big, probably a trade or sign one of the top guys in FA, theyre not bringing back crap from the tank job.

ya make some good points, but you seem to have missed mine. you clearly take this way more seriously than i do (where'd ya hear schnieder to russia?). i only play around on this when it's slow at work and i'm board. i wanted to see a depth chart of what's currently here and i like this site's format, but it won't save unless published.

top LHD vet needed and top 6 winger useful: campbell and mcginn were the first UFAs i came across that fit the bill and are familiar to me personally. for my purposes, these squares really may as well have been left blank as place holders.

i don't expect colaiacovo to get much nhl ice time with any organization next year, but i'm sure roch would love to have him if he doesn't get a better deal elsewhere.
i liked legwand so i tossed him a bone to stick around one more year. sabres can afford it and he's worth having around one more year even if he sits half the season (along with moulson & gionta, i expect) to make room for schnieder/bailey/fasching/etc.

johnson is another place holder. he wants a #1 spot and i wish him all best if he can get it elsewhere; not really worried about finding a suitable backup. ullmark would be fine, but i think he could benefit from one more season in roch where he'll get more ice time (at least for the first half of next season).

this wasn't intended as a prediction of what i think will happen, but rather what i'd personally like to happen. i really don't like all the pressure to make more huge changes this year; patience is a virtue, and some consistency for the kids to develop in a stable environment is worth it in my opinion.
