That Kase trade sucks... trading our best LHD prospect for a guy who can't stay healthy? there's no doubt that Kase has talent but not worthy of giving up Samuelsson that's for sure.

good, bc it sucks for ANA too, they have ZERO use for said LHD, and they're trading away their second best forward when healthy

Columbus says keep McCabe.. we don’t need or want him. The pick for Anderson is enough.

You act like Samuelsson is a bonafide blue chip prospect who is certain to be a top-4 D... he looked pretty bad at the WJC recently. I have only seen him play in-person and on tv a few times, but I haven't been impressed at all (and from prospect report articles I've read on him from The Athletic, neither have they)

Regardless of his value, where does he fit with us long term? Dahlin and Jokiharju are obviously going nowhere. And while we may move one of Risto, Montour, Miller, etc eventually, I'm assuming at least one or two from that group are staying.

Samuelsson is years away from even getting an opportunity to make an NHL impact, all while we waste away Eichel's prime and Dahlin's ELC. I actually think he's one of our most expendable future assets we have currently

naw, you have to take McCabe, we don't want him either

Then Columbus declines. We don’t have the cap room to pay him. Or you make the pick a 1st without conditions and we make his disappear.

You’re essentially saying he’s a cap dump so pay to get rid of him.

the problem with mccabe is that there is really no room for him on the team anymore. hes not a bad player, just needs to be moved

And you think he’d play in Columbus? He’d be our 8th LHD..... he’s not better then Werenski, Murray, Gavrikov, or Nuttivaara, and we have Harrington, Carlsson and Kukan already in the system who are just as good...

not really that familiar with the situation in CBJ so my bad. as a sabres fan, i only know pain
