Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 10, 2020

Published: Sep. 10, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Assuming the Sabres have a low 70s internal cap as has apparently been rumored, what might that look like? Not trading for big name RFAs for sure.

Let's assume $72-73M.

Free Agent Signings

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Kahun, Dominik	3	$3,000,000
Lazar, Curtis	3	$1,000,000
Mittelstadt, Casey	3	$1,000,000
Olofsson, Victor	4	$4,000,000
Montour, Brandon	1	$4,000,000
Thompson, Tage	1	$1,000,000
Ullmark, Linus	3	$3,000,000

UFA		YEARS	CAP HIT
Hutton, Ben		1	$2,500,000

Trades

BUF

Compher, J.T.
Kaut, Martin
2021 1st round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

In this scenario, I'd think move 1 would be to trade away the expensive RFA. You get two RWs for the price of one with some cost certainty and another future.

COL

Reinhart, Sam [RFA Rights]

BUF

Dvorak, Christian

Additional Details:

Cost controlled while possibly getting better now to keep Eichel from becoming toxic.

ARI

2020 1st which isn't shown anymore for some reaso

BUF

2021 2nd round pick (CGY)

CGY

Ristolainen, Rasmus

BUF

Lindholm, Pär
2021 2nd round pick (BOS)

Additional Details:

Stolen from a Bruins fan AGM

BOS

Johansson, Marcus

I think they'd probably just let Montour go instead of trading Risto.

Could still fit that in under a $72M cap here. I figure get what you can for Risto, sign Montour for one year and flip him at the deadline to maximize assets.

Clever work and I really like Dvorak but this wouldn't be a playoff roster. It's going to be tough to mold the Sabres into it if they are low 70s.

I mean that roster sucks so it's probably quite realistic

I would. Buffalo wouldn't if there is really this internal cap being rumored. Danault will likely ask less than Reinhart but not by a lot. If he'd sign for $5M I'd offer Reinhart for Danault and maybe a 2nd (or maybe Mete)?

They'd probably be about the same as last year or maybe a little worse, but at around 10 mil less. Improvement!

Easier to keep the $70M cap when Eichel does finally demand that trade...

I'm working under the assumption that Risto is a good player that they should want to keep.

Eh...that might be a dangerous assumption. There are things to like but a lot not to like. Defensively he's a nightmare (positionally ans awareness) and there are times when he tries to pass to guys' shin pads consistently. They should have moved him at least 2 years ago.

Prepare for Jack Eichel to request a trade by next summer if this is the roster he has to work with.
