Trades

BUF

Faksa, Radek

Additional Details:

I don't necessarily think this will be the trade but just illustrating the in/out players and money for the team. IIRC Ruff used to lean heavily on Faksa, and hes still got very strong defensive numbers.

Pretty reasonable

My mildly hot take is if we assume coaching held them back, then this lineup under ruff should remain competitive for longer than 10 mins/early november so that by the time rumours and player movement start up in Dec/Jan, the Sabres will come off some no trade lists and thats when we will see the bigger move.

Are buffalo fans happy with Ruff coming back? Wouldn't Berube been a better choice?

Now that Granato isn’t the coach Greenway doesn’t need to play with skill players.

Greenway-Faksa-Girgensons
Skinner-Krebs-Kulich.

Another reasonable take.

I actually am looking forward to the season. Can't wait to see how they screw it up this time
