Trying to Save a Franchise

Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 11, 2021

Published: Mar. 11, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Eichel most likely won't be traded unfortunately, at least that's my opinion.

GMs are not likely to trade Eichel's caliber very often and at his age because you never know how long you will have to wait to get another player like him.

That said, as we've seen this season has been a massive dumpster fire for this franchise. Good luck trying to get any other UFA big names to sign here, since singing here and not playing well have tanked Taylor Hall's value. I just don't see players wanting to sign here long term until the team is better. Disappointing IMO. Worst part, is they're handcuffed by terrible contracts like Okposo and Skinner for the next 3 years and 7 years.

Right now, i think this team really needs to strip it down to the studs. Again. I know.

Keep your core of guys you want to build around, and try desperately to get young talent and position yourself for the future.

Anyway, If I'm Kevyn Adams, this is my approach to the TDL.

Man, I feel for this franchise as a leaf fan. I went thru this and its tough when you have no hope. Hang in there.
