@SabresNation said:

i was worried about that contract now i guess we wont regret giving up anything ngl its better than what we got from the cap trade

yeah no kidding that contract is gonna be a weight off our shoulders now we can re-sign perron ngl

@section114buf said:

tbh yeah re-signing perron is huge now with the salary space we got back can see him sticking around for a few more yrs

tbh i think perron will be gone by next season though @sam_sabres, that contract thing only gets you so far, doesn't guarantee anything

i gotta disagree tho, he's been playing some great hockey lately and with all that space we got back i think they'll try to lock him up long term honestly thinks perron wants out? man

ngl perron has been playing out of his mind lately and if we got that cap space now i think he's a lock for a 2-3 yr deal honestly think hes gonna want to stay after what just went down man

i think we finally got rid of the contract baggage and can start building around our d man imo we still need a top six winger tho honestly

ngl we do need a top six winger but like sam said perron's extension will be huge for us to build around honestly think hes gonna want to stay and help re-build this team man

yeah i gotta disagree, perron wants a ring and playoffs, we gotta show him that's possible or he'll be gone just like every other free agent man

tbh i dont think perron wants a ring that bad, he's been saying all the right things about wanting to stay and i like his game man

tbh i think perron saying the right things doesn't necessarily mean he wants to stay long term man, imo if we don't show him some progress next year he's outta here

ngl i think we're putting too much stock into perrons words, he'll say whatever keeps him relevant and gets a bigger contract next time around man, gotta worry about the reality of our team instead of his quotes imo

i gotta agree with u there sam, perrons got a reputation for being smart about his future and getting out before the team goes bust man

idk about that reputation, he's been looking good on the ice and playing with pano seems like a good combo imo

yup good combo but that doesn't mean they're gonna make the playoffs man ngl if panik can stay healthy that'd be a miracle imo

panik hasnt been healthy in years tho honestly

@Sabres71 yeah panik hasnt been healthy in years and that wont change overnight sadly man

I think we're getting a bit carried away with Panik's health concerns, @frankie_d. It's true his body hasn't cooperated in the past, but let's give him some time with Perron and see if they can make it work. @Sabres71 had a good point about them being a decent combo on the ice.

yeah panik's had some tough seasons but he's also been ok when healthy man honestly i think its a decent combo with perron imo

yup @section114buf agree decent combo with perron honestly think we got lucky on that trade tbh

tbh think we'll see how it plays out with perron and panik together, might be a pleasant surprise ngl @sam_sabres got lucky on that trade for sure

idk how many ppl really think panik is gonna play a full season tho man Honestly gotta imagine linemates are the real key here ngl

@sam_sabres said:

idk how many ppl really think panik is gonna play a full season tho man honestly i just want him to stay healthy for one game this year so we can see perron's skills without him tbh @section114buf agreed on the linemates thing, that was the only part of the panik trade that made sense imo

1.55m cap hit, stay healthy?

yeah ikr? ngl 1.55 mil for a player who cant even make it thru a season @section114buf was saying that already lol

@PuckBunnyPam lol yeah like that's a given tbh panik's health issues have been a problem for years now
