Description

Rounded up to the next million and gave shorter term from Dobber's projections as a "Sabres premium" on all UFAs to "get them here".

The idea with the Eichel trade was to get a couple picks while targeting young quality defenseman to improve what's been a serious downfall. I added Khudobin because I felt the value was still off but if I had to remove a piece it'd be him and I'd sign another FA goalie. Would also swap him out for Vanecek or another goalie if Seattle wanted to run Khudobin as their starter.

Donny Meatballs praised Reinhart as a leader and someone who wants to play hockey and will thrive going forward. I think he stays. The Buffalo media treats him like garbage but Granato said it's entirely different behind closed doors. Give him the C, Landeskog and Cozens As and let's actually have a decent hockey team with a real coach and make this an organization guys are proud to play for.

RNH and Landeskog and Dreidger aren't wasting their times in Buffalo. And fat chance of RNH and Landeskog taking laughable 3 year deals.

Seattle won’t have anything that is worth Jack Eichel. Their best assets might be top 4 defensemen, and that’s simply nowhere near enough. Given that they will have every chance to be competitive immediately even their first round picks might not be worth that much.

Too bad Cernak isn't available and Tampa will easily protect him.
