Literally the last pick in the first round for Stastny and one year of Clarkson that can be put to LTIR.

That deal definitely is fair...

That's going to be a huge slap in the face to either of those players. Sign a nice big contract get traded the next year.....

They do have a 10 team no trade list each so moving them may be pretty hard to do.

For a 33 year old center making 6 mil and a useless ltir cap dump from a team that desperately needs cap space? No

Stasny has a 10 team no trade. Is a 33-34 year old going to waive to go to one of the worst teams in the league??

I can see the Sabres making that deal for Karlsson...

Stastny have two years left of a very affordable deal. He should be the dream 2C for your team. He could be a great mentor for Mittelstadt. And as said, Clarkson won't affect your cap.

That being said, there's no way Stastny will waive his NTC for the Buffalo bunch...unless he enjoys long summer breaks.

There's a solid chance we aren't gonna be one of the worst teams in the league and Skinner did.

Dump Reaves, don't even consider an UFA 4th line player @ 1.5 million or spend over a million for a back up goalie. That saves you 3 million dollars. Trade Miller for a young Dman who is still paid under an ELC and that frees up enough cash (another 3 million) to keep Stastny.

Look at what Kevin hayes just signed lol. Stasney proved he can still play and he’d be by far your 2nd best centre. The pick is 31st overall anyways. It’s practically a 2nd. The value is very fair, but Stasney wouldn’t waive. Do you really want buffalo to be bottom 10 forever? Cause their centre depth currently is atrocious

Skinner signed with a massive overpayment though...

Skinner would have not got that on the open market. Exactly why he didn’t go to FA. Take the blinders off, he didn’t sign in Buffalo because it’s a great place to play and live, he signed because he GOT PAID (which Buffalo fans will come to hate in years 5-8..).

Disagree. Skinner set the price of the market when he signed his 9 mil deal. Had he hit the open market, Kevin hayes would’ve fetched less. Skinner resigned in buffalo because as mentioned he got PAID. What real incentive is there to play in buffalo? It’s not a great city, the team has been bottom 10 for the last 5+ years, and it doesn’t have a rich hockey history like for example Detroit.

This guy is legit, he only transcribes and tweets what it's been said on various radio stations programs involving big name insiders. The same as "NHL Prospect Watcher" on twitter

I think if glass is ready to take a big step, this team would be really competitive in the west. They need a strong rookie year out of glass. If not, Haula can always slide up to #2C and Glass can play sheltered minutes as 3C but I think he’s ready to take on a big role. He looked amazing in juniors

Live in Buffalo first, then let's talk. Until then, stop trash talking a place you never lived. It's always been a hockey city. Detroit, in case you didn't know went bankrupt.

Regarding Skinner, his cap hit could've even been higher than 9 without the 8th year option to other teams.

If Clarkson doesn't affect the cap, why include him in the trade at all? Just curious.

I also disagree. Buffalo is a far nicer place to live than most people think, probably better than at least half of the other NHL cities out there. I've been there numerous times and would have no qualms about signing there as a UFA - especially considering most UFA's are married with small children and their idea of a "cool" place to live is different from (say) a 22-year-old.

And as far as history, Buffalo has as rich a history as any non-original-six franchise. Having joined the league in 1970 along with the Vancouver Canucks, the Sabres kicked off their first NHL season by selecting HHOFer Gilbert Perreault in the amateur draft. He, along with Rick Martin and Rene Robert, formed the famed French Connection line, one of the best lines in hockey through the 70's.

Many, many great players are forever connected to the Sabres, including Pierre Turgeon, Alex Mogilny and Pat LaFontaine. They've been to the finals twice, most of us remember the Hasek / Satan-led team losing a heart-breaker foot-in-the-crease overtime game to the Stars.

Of course, today's foundational players Jack Eichel and Rasmus Dahlin also make the team and attractive destination for talent, as they're well set up for the future.
