Description
Bold moves by new front office. Okposo NMC kicks in for the 18-19 season, so he is tradable. Gio does not come back under new front office. Eichel becomes captain.

Sabres Protect: O'Reilly, Kane, Silfverberg, Haula, Ristolainen, Leddy, Brodin, McCabe, and Lehner.

Trades
1.
BUF
  1. Leddy, Nick
Additional Details:
Leddy would be 1 less defenseman that NYI would need to try to protect.
NYI
  1. Okposo, Kyle
Additional Details:
I obviously do not know for sure, but if he is healthy, maybe NYI is interested in Okposo as they just had a tough season without him.

    1. Bogosian, Zach ($2,000,000 retained)
    Additional Details:
    Salary dump, hopefully Bogo at roughly 3 mil a year is seen as good deal
    4.
    BUF
    1. Bieksa, Kevin
    2. Silfverberg, Jakob
    Additional Details:
    They are able to dump Bieksa in the move (he waves NMC). Also fix a expansion problem. They chose to protect Perry, Kesler, Getzlaf, Rakell, Vatanen, Fowler, Lindholm, Manson.

    1. Fasching, Hudson
    2. Girgensons, Zemgus
    Additional Details:
    2017 BUF 2nd Round Pick
    5.
    BUF
    1. Brodin, Jonas
    Additional Details:
    Rights to Erik Haula
    Brodin is a top 4 defenseman that the Sabres could use. Haula has lots of speed, something the Sabres currently lack.
    MIN
    1. Carrier, William
    2. Cornel, Eric
    3. Rodrigues, Evan
    4. 2018 2nd round pick (BUF)
    5. 2018 5th round pick (BUF)
    Additional Details:
    2017 MIN 2nd Round Pick
    2017 BUF 3rd Round Pick
    Helps MIN get value for the guy (Brodin) they would most likely lose in Expansion Draft. They get a cheaper 3rd or 4th line center (Rodrigues) to replace Haula, a depth forward who will soon see the NHL (Cornel), a gritty player with goal scoring potential (Carrier), 2 2nd Round Picks, 1 3rd Round Pick, and a 5th Round Pick. Lots of value in return for expansion fix.

    It's a start but I don't like giving up all the picks. I'm not sold on the okposo deal, he was a big part of our team. I know we need defense and I like Leddy so maybe it works. At least your taking a swing at it.

    Could put Reinhart in the deal instead. But doing so will make Cap problems tougher in the future.
