Description

Got creative as I started putting together the lineup. Let me know what you think about trades, lines, long term, etc.! Also, Power & Eklund not in the lineup this year (back to NCAA & SHL).

Protection List:
F:
Eichel
Reinhart
Olofsson
Mittlestadt
Asplund
Thompson
Bjork

D:
Dahlin
Jokiharju
Borgen

G:
Ullmark

Trades happen after expansion.

Kraken deal: I think if BUF exposes Risto, Seattle will take him. If only to flip him to another team.

Ducks deal: Fair value? Sabres could take Henrique back if BUF isnt on his NTC.

Golden Knights deal: VGK gets their #1 center and cheap depth for 2 years in Bjork. BUF gets some big pieces and ammo to get...

Lightning deal: Hard to gauge value on this one. Cirelli is a big piece for them, but only high ticket forward without trade protection. They could use early round picks and Pilut would be energized to play for them.

Oilers trade: EDM gets a powerplay specialist at 50% off cap hit (RFA on expiry too) and gets out from Kassian contact. Cost is Lavoie.

Hahah figured those were low, maybe even Eichel return too. I'd rather lean light on return than get crushed for "overvaluing Sabres garbage".

Oilers trade maybe involves a pick coming to BUF too.

Yeah that’s usually a good method on here haha. I’d imagine Ducks can at least spare a B prospect in this deal and Oilers add a 2 without retention.

No chance Anaheim trades the third overall pick in this year's draft for Sam Reinhart, even if he comes with an extension. Reinhart isn't close to a franchise player, and I'd rather take the home-run-or-strikeout swing for the fences that keeping that 2021 first represents. If Owen Power is still there, he could be the next Viktor Hedman; if Matt Beniers is still there, he could be the next Matt Barzal; if Dylan Guenther is still there, he could be the next David Pastrnak. We'll stand pat.
