Description
Same cap no CBO

I had a Henrique to BUF trade in my ANA post that ANA fans hated and BUF fans loved... Maybe I'm weird, but I can't justify that from BUF's perspective

Honestly had no idea that Olofsson needed a new contract... I had no clue what to give him, my thought process was "hey I'll give you a big raise, but if you want term go do it again, preferably not nearly all on the PP again"

Also ik the Montour contract is highly unrealistic, but I wasn't sure on term and he's just gonna get traded so 🤷‍♀️

Ik there's a lot of patchwork solutions, but the sabres had a ton of roster turnover last year let's have a calm off-season this year... Also go look at a thread on Twitter by @ntrider825 for why my 2C who it is (also just easing Cozens in, no need to rush him, give him a veteran presence and solid two way winger to play with)

Also I love Pilut, really underrated, I was debating putting him in the top 4, but decided on the Mittlestadt trade (which I'm fully aware sabres fans are going to hate, Idgaf. You're not changing my mind)

I'd also bring in some extra forward depth, JS Dea isn't an ideal 13th forward, though Ruo and Biro aren't terrible injury call-ups (I'd rather them get good minutes in the AHL tho) but I'm trying to minimize roster turnover...

Trades

BUF
  1. York, Cam [Reserve List]
PHI
  1. Montour, Brandon
Additional Details:
You do not want to know how long it took for me to find a team I could remotely justify (Niskanen replacement for next year already...) Sending him to (I remember him in ANA he wasn't that good, there was a reason GM/HCBM never played him) but popular opinion thinks he's good, so I had to also find a somewhat overrated player to come back... York... Stupid overrated players having expiring contracts that for these purposes I can't justify giving long term extensions to that the player would even consider
2.
BUF
  1. Murray, Ryan
  2. Shore, Devin [RFA Rights]
  3. 2020 4th round pick (CBJ)
Additional Details:
I'm not even going to try to hide the fact that I think Mittlestadt is nearing Pulju levels of bust, sorry sabres fans, the only reason it's not a 1 for 1 is Murray's injury concerns (also why I'm keeping McCabbe... You can't get rid of him that easily sabres fans ?)

Agreed on Pilut. Way underrated.

I'd sign Montour to the same deal you did $4-4.5M but hold him to the deadline. Likely more return then. Trade Risto for whatever you can get now instead.

I'd rather take a chance on Mittelstadt turning it around than take that pile of trash.

I wouldn't! (As A pens fan!) But yeah, I spent so long trying to find something that could work for Montour, and I was like, I have to trade him, I don't think he deserves a long term contract... I think York is slightly overrated, PHI could use an RD for the year after... It's a stretch, but I dislike the flyers and didn't feel like finding another team that I could remotely stretch to send him to...

York is pretty decent. He never really has a bad game and his team in college didn't have much talent around him.
