Rebuild

Created by: jksc0831
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 25, 2021
Published: Feb. 25, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Taking on bad contracts for the next 3 years since we got Skinner and Okposo in dead money. No contest for the next three years, but more of a prospect showcase. Compete in 23-24 season. Not just getting picks, but also fully restocking the cupboard on prospects with upside. Funny to think about who BUF would protect in the expansion draft in this crazy rebuild!

This is the exact opposite of a rebuild.

The reason BUF has failed is because they sign bad contracts when they shouldn't, and they draft players that will be "ready" at different intervals (which results in them trading away good prospects for "ready" NHLers). I'm biased more towards my third favorite team here, which are the Nashville Predators, and arguably, that's the worst trade for this rebuild. But the focus here is to take on expensive bad contracts. Why? Because you'll get tons of picks back for nothing, and compared to cheap bad contracts, they don't take up as many roster spots, so that the kids get a chance to play. All the prospects I'm accumulating will be ready in 2-3 years time, and during that time, their contracts are cheap, which balances out the bad contracts to fit under the cap. By years 2 and 3, the kids should be playing on the top lines, and the bad contracts traded away if they have a rebound season (Johansen, Duchene). What will suck is that the "cheap years" of your current prospects are essentially wasted, but that's also why you're loading up on 2021 and 2022 draft picks.
