Description
Lindy likes guys who play attacking hockey from smart positioning to maintain defensive structure. I got 4 new forwards here who do that and supported them with 3 veteran dmen who are responsible but can activate/shoot.
My logic for buying out Skinner is it saves money in year 1 and 2 when paired with the Foegele contract as both sums are less than 9M. Year 3 is when it hurts, but that year there will be 3-5 valuable ELCs on the roster that aren't currently to remedy that (Kulich, Ostlund, Savoie, Wahlberg, '24 1st). The following 3 years are manageable from there.
Extensions:
Peterka 7M x 8 years
Quinn 5M x 2 years
Byram 6M x 2 years
Buchnevich 7.5M x 5 years
Levi, Johnson, Rousek, negligible.
Lindholm, Greenway, Girgensons, Martinez replaced with ELCs/league min. vets.

Not necessarily saying no but how sure are we that Mattias Samuelsson actually has the juice

The Blues aren't accepting that. I have no idea how they'd feel about Sammy, but I'm fairly sure pushing the 1st until next year and a small winger aren't going to entice. Those items are presumably worth more to the Sabres than they would be to Army.

If the trade happens after the draft then the next 1st is 2025...
