Team: 2019-20 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 23, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The Sabres did well this offseason.
Acquire Miller for almost nothing, acquired Vesey and overall seem to have a good team on paper.

Will Mittelstadt finally blossom? I think this is the year we see what he can do.

Sabres need to find a way to play Olofsson whenever they can. Okposo is dead cap space as his services are not required on this team anymore.
Olofsson could be a 20/20 guy if played correctly.

Trades

BUF

2020 1st round pick (ANA)

Additional Details:

+ Prospect

ANA

Ristolainen, Rasmus

Additional Details:

Realistically, I think Buffalo moves on from Risto.
They have a ton of D men and with the addition of Colin Miller, Risto is expendable.

I think a 1st + prospect is more than fair
