I think 2-3 mill over two years will be exactly what tage can EARN this year if he put in the work this summer. Time will tell

Out of interest, what do you think Ristolainen will fetch in picks and/or prospects? Or anyone else's opinion as well as the OP.

he aint making the team over sheary

the other 2 are a possibilty but tage will likely start in rochester and then be first called up once there is an injury

i think its unlikely he earns this deal
but i just made things simple giving those RFAs 3 mil x 2yr bridge deals

obviously some will get less like prolly tage but a player like olofsson could get 30 goals and end up getting more than what i have him at here

Ristolainen

for

Roslovic
Perrault
2nd round pick

is the best, most fair and realistic Risto trade ive seen yet

because id be disappointed if either Cozens or Mittelstadt (top 10 picks) were bottom 6 forwards in 2021....id rather have Cozens or mittelstadt at wing playing with Eichel

Probably fair value, though I'm still wondering how much various issues might affect his value, and I'm guessing the Sabres would prefer to go the picks/prospects route and rebuild properly, no?

Understood ,my thought would be 3 lines of skill. Roll those 3 heavy and a 4th of defensive specialists. But understood your point.

Fair one, I was thinking they'd look more for ones to bring through rather than one who is roster ready now, but a Sabres fan should know better than I on that one. smile

I agree, sabres are one of the most exciting teams in terms of what they can or can't be next year.

I think Cozens and Mittlesdat need to both have top 6 minutes. So I wouldn't put Cozens at 3c... Unless we get really deep.

No, sabres are a contender in 20-21, depending on the rfa/UFA signings and how the youth preform this year.

4 to line center imo, he preferably would have the best match up for him at 4c and have a slightly more skilled player at 3c. Don't get me wrong, I love ERod... But I think he is and should be a 4th line center. He is an energy line kinda guy.

Gotta be honest, I realise the blue & gold is the original but I preferred the black and red era shirts.

ERod is 4th line center, and vesey/Sheary could end up not resigning
