Description

I expect that Skjei and Pesce will be the premier defensemen in the 2024 UFA class and will command 8 year pacts to lower their cap hits. Florida and Buffalo, respectively, both make sense as destinations.

Nosek, Rees, Suzuki, and Okposo all compete to be wingers around Jack Drury. Jones and Morrow compete for the 6D spot next to Chatfield.

Pretty fair for Skjei and Pesce, I'd do a 4th though

If that's the costs of getting Pesce, Sabres should do it, and then figure it out tbh

Well sure for that, like 8 above said. I would do that without a Extension in place and then see where it goes from there. Can't see Buffalo signing him to a 8yr Extension though.

The AAV's of both D men are low. We know Pesce wants 7 mil over 8, and Skjei's not going to take less than 6. He'll be a season removed from an 18 goal campaign no matter what happens.

Okposo stated this year he was either staying in Buffalo or retiring.
