Team: 2019-20 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 9, 2019

Published: Mar. 13, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Tampa Trade (6/1/2019)

Bolts probably need to clean up at the very least $16-17 mill for Point/Vasilevsky, and then whatever Cernak signs for. These moves clean up ~$11 while adding a top 3 d-man and 3 picks.
(I did Killorn separately for transparency's sake) I've seen a few posts trading Killorn for a 4th and I'd take that in a second.
I see a lot of posts paying Sergachev 3 x $3mill, but I think he'll be more in the neighborhood of 4-5 which is another big cap hit.

Cleaning Up the Locker Room (6/20/19)

Botts finally clears up the crazy backlog of d-men, and some cap space, by shipping out Scandella and Hunwick to literally anywhere for literally anything (or that's just my explanation for not trying to find a legitimate trade partner)

The Cats (6/30/19)

Botts sees the Cats making a big push for the Russians out of Columbus and gives Dale a call to say that he'll free up some cash for him. Dale has a lot of holes to fill as is, so he wants a 1st and a couple cheap NHL bodies. Botts counters saying he'll take Reimer off his hands too for McCabe, CJ Smith, and a 2nd*, knowing Terry can afford buyout Reimer if he can't find someone in need of a goalie. Sent him to Calgary to replace Mike Smith for a 4th as a placeholder.
