Wow, why are we getting bent out of shape about a rumor about a guy who would rather play in Ottawa than Carolina because of $$.

I rather make some good scratch and be on a winning team.

I fully agree.

So, let's look at the Buffalo Sabres roster and see how Pesce's name is being linked to trade rumors. Not hard to figure the first name that pops up:

Yeah, I'd take Victor Olofsson. In his 4 full seasons with the Sabres, he's put up 42, 32, 49 and 40 points. Don't know is this is the rumor, but Pesce is considered a top 15 defender in the league and Olofsson is a UFA after this coming season. A little strange given the Sabres have enough cap space to extend him now, but nothing has happened?

No. No trading Pesce. If you are going to do it. Do it at the deadline.

I’d want Peterka, he’s a young roster player with a good amount of potential. If we’re trading Pesce then I want someone coming back with term because I assume that if dealt, Pesce will be going to a team that he’ll extend with. An extended Pesce is worth a player with term.

LMAO. That contract could be brutal in just two years time. Guys that play like Wilson just don’t last until they are 37.

feels like the Dwill/CJ contracts for Hurney where we outbid ourselves. Wilson's contract was 5.2 AAV---who were they bidding against to give him that kind of raise at that term? absolutely nuts.

 

I'd take Tuch from the Sabres too.

Tuch would be my preference, not sure they’d trade him though.

Tuch is under contract for another 3 years with a NTC. Wasn't he wearing an "A" last season?

The reason I brought up Olofsson is because he hasn't been extended and Buffalo obviously has the money to do it. So, without a NTC, Buffalo's need for a top 4 blue-liner to likely replace a 35-year old Erik Johnson, and Buffalo needs to send a couple guys down as they're over the roster limit. The Sabres have 24 guys on the roster and still have over $6M in cap space.

No doubt in my mind the Canes would extend Olofsson.

      Bryce = Alex Smith

      Right. I didn’t think it was good either but the QB sure did. He was the defacto number one target, not Chark, was my point.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By strato · Posted

      We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.
