Description

-I know, I am going to get ripped apart
-I am not sure if all four of Miller, Hagg, Eakin, and Anderson are moved, however, imo, realistic returns for them.
-I know Kadri, Hertl, and Klingberg wont sign here, but if the Sabres were being aggressive, I feel like its an overpayment for the trio
-I do not see Ruotsalainen resigning here, Sabres have been jerking him around like they did with Pilut.
-Overpay for Holtby to bring him in for a year.
-If the Sabres want to be serious next year, trade away the last year of Okposo's contract, I know he has looked better this year, but 6 million of the cap can be better spent elsewhere.

2023 2nd round pick (CGY)

Additional Details:

6 million cap hit while only 4 million being paid, a team trying to get to the Cap Floor will love this contract. With so many 2nds in the 2023 NHL Draft, Sabs use one to get rid of the final year.

I think you are being too generous on that Okposo deal.

Yeah, I would not be happy to see them give that term to Kadri and Hertl. No need to waste that cap space and also push Quinn & Petreka back to the AHL for another season.

Sabres will keep okposo and the pick. Honestly, they have been trying extremely hard to sell the idea that he's a leader on and off the ice, they've been selling that idea for so long now that I think they believe it.
