This is one of the most reasonable takes I’ve seen on what the Sabres will look like in the ‘24-‘25 season
Nice job!

I think u have a bit too much youth at forward,
and idk about the Kane signing,
but it’s all certainly possible- not at all far fetched

Again, nice job

I'd say this is more of a 2025-26 lineup. 5 rookies on a team is typically not a good team. Granted these are all 1st round, highly-touted rookies, but they will have a tough go of it, especially with D play. We will see how much, if any, ice time those 5 get this year. If some of them see significant ice time this year, that makes this line-up all the more possible for next year.

Definitely "Better Days", though. KA said we are now in SC mode. With a line-up like this, we will be for a long, long time.

Oh, I'm also on the ..not Kane train. At least at that dollar amount. If he takes a Tarasenko, 1yr $5.5mm, that is a different story.

And, btw, where is Krebs? That guy ain't going anywhere and I'd prefer him to Kane.

Good looking extensions.

I dont think Patrick Kane is worth that much next offseason. And putting him on 2nd line, mean bottom 6 is very thing on grit and expierence. If he is worth 7mil, he should lead his own line to spread the talent.

I don't think Krebs will be gone for 24/25 roster, and I don't see any trade involving him
