Yep, I like some of them

1. Stay away from Bjugstad. Understand why he's traded in every Pitt ACGM.
2. If the new GM offers Holtby 5x8.5 I miss the old GM.
3. Kerfoot?? Depends on what else For adds. Isn't Johansson the same player??
4. I probably like Cirelli more than most. You probably can't get him without trading pick #8. Or take Johnson with him and give up less.
5. I'd take Tuch if Vegas is giving him away to re-sign Lehner...

VAN is not moving Virtanen or Gaudette.

They could be packaged in with a cap dump.

I’m just not a huge fan on Tuch he was injured this year, and underperformed plus he has 6 more years left on his contract.

You could probably add Miles Wood to the players to stay away from. Don't know why some fans really want him.

They need to add skill players before they add toughness.

Better than trading pick #8 for most of the other guys.

His 'underperforming ' would have been 6th on the Sabres forwards, .4 ppg, ahead of Skinner.

If he has a meh season Seattle probably takes him...

If I’m BUF I clean up the cap, get a solid goal tender, don’t trade prospects for guys that aren’t really going to improve them like the Kerfoot and Strome’s of the world who would perpetuate the mediocrity, do whatever they can to get Skinner back on track and do not rush Cozen’s if he isn’t ready. I know it sounds cliched but BUF has some serious pieces to work with in Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart, Jokiharju, Cozens and the 8th pick.

Ullmark had a .915 save percentage he was playing really well than he got injured when they were 6 points out on January 31st. They need a better 1b/backup. Free agency will be hard because Sabres are tight in terms of cap space due to the Pegulas lost revenue. They have some pieces, but are thin on depth prospects and draft picks.

Yeah trading 8th overall for like Max Domi is the worst outcome that Kevyn Adams could do.

No. Signing Holtby for 5x8.5 would be the worst outcome.

Sabres have very little, outside the core 6, Olofsson, that Montreal really wants/needs...

Lol Max Domi would become your second best forward right away

No. Reinhart is better and Olofsson was better this year. He’s not worth 8th overall.

They both played with a top 5 C in the league... Domi played with Lehkonen and Armia for 70% of the year while playing with Weal and some bottom 6 players the remaining of the year.

That’s great he’s still not worth 8th overall in my opinion. Maybe a 2021 first. like the Jt Miller trade
Domi’s stats this year on pace for 51 points

Miller In 18-19 47 points in 75 games 51 point pace.

We ll see... I think hes an amazingly skilled and sppedy player but he wants to play C and we dont the space for him... I dont think wed trade him for any other reason

He’s a good player I would love to have him, but Buffalo doesn’t have a lot of good prospects they need to draft a young forward in this years draft.

That is true... But can your team suck next year once again? I doubt it. Plus youve had a similar top pick many times these past years... Are any of those guys (not named Eich or Dahlin) better than Domi? I dont think so.

Dylan Cozens probably needs one year playing 2nd line RW or 3rd line center, so they could just sign someone like Haula to get 40-50 points without trading assets this draft class is really good too they should keep it the pick.

I respect your opinion. Im excited for this draft, I feel like many trades might happen

Hopefully! People always say there will be trades at the draft, but it hasn’t really happened. It’s always exciting to hear Bettman announce a trade.

Honestly think Buffalos situation on the ice gets blown out of proportion.

Ullmark wasnt bad, get a guy who can play 20-30 games behind him though.

The biggest thing they need IMO, is a bottom 6 shut down line. Get some guys like Marcus Foligno or Sam Bennette for cheap and have a bottom 6 with purpose. This will let Cozens take his time and let the team be properly balanced.

Doeant have to be huge moves to the top 6, now if Skinner doesnt come back to his normal self, you may have to address the top 6 core but you would have to wait and see about that.

The executive staff though, that's where Buffalos real troubles lay.

Disagree on Kerfoot
Agree BIG TIME on Ryan Johansen
Good job for the most part imo

Why no interest in Tuch?
With their cap issues, i think we could get him very cheap

Kerfoot is young and signed for three years; Johansson is on his last legs and signed for one. Plus, Kerfoot is a perfectly good center and Johansson isn't.
