Aside from kadri, no one you added has won anything

Why would you make that trade for Kadri? I feel like adding Jenner was enough for a 3rd line revamp. In fact, I think a 3rd line of Kulich-Jenner-Savoie would be more compelling than the one you've proposed.

Also, I think there are better targets for the 4th line than Tierney and overpaying Krebs. Krebs for 1mil for 2 years and then bring back William Carrier.

Added over 100 games worth of playoff experience with those 3 players, just because they didn't win a cup doesn't mean they don't know what it takes to win in the playoffs

A guy like Kadri who can still produce and plays a style the Sabres are sorely lacking is a must add for this team, maybe not him but someone like him, this team doesn't have. Savoie has one NHL game under him and is undersized. The Sabres have enough of those players. Kulich at least has AHL experience playing as a teenager there

Jenner/laine for both packages, gives you a 2 year trial over 6 years of kadri, would be interesting what Columbus says?
