Buffalo moves on from Victor Zemgus Kyle and Tyson

Why do we need a 6 million dollar 3rd pairing defensemen?

Stillman and Lyubushkin are fine.

Our 3rd pair plays like 11 mins a night

Moving Tage back to wing is about the worst idea I've ever seen

this is exactly what we should target this offseason if possible. Overpay 1 dman for 2 years to come to buff so their cap is off the books when we need to extend everyone in 2 years. 3 mil or under for a defensive D for 3-5 years for stability down the road once we cant afford a 4th D making over 3 mil with Power and Dahlin extended

Surely you jest!
Orlov is a top pairing defenseman, who plays on the bottom because Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson are significantly better than he.
Clifton and Orlov are miles better than Stillman and Lyubushkin, could play more than 10 min/gm, would upgrade the Sabres PK and would score more (in just 23 games with Boston Dmitri has more goals then Rilly and Ilya have together all year).
Thompson is doing just fine on Cozens' wing and Mittelstadt has been on fire playing between Jeff and Alex with15 points in the last 10 games.
This gives Buffalo two really good lines.

Completely agree!
The moves should help the PK and reduce the goal against.

I think it depends on what kinda contract jost is looking for. If he's fine with 1m x3 or so, then yeah. I'd be fine with this move.

Playing dahlin and power less than they are now makes us worse.

No thanks.

Thompson is only on the wing because he can't take faceoffs due to his injury.
