Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Struggling 1st overall pick for a struggling 1st overall pick. Rangers have a silly amount of good young forwards, could use another blue chip defencemen. Doesn’t really work for the Sabres organizationally since they don’t have another stud D prospect but I hear Power/Hughes/Clarke are all pretty good

Buffalo says no, Dahlin's role is far bigger than Lafreniere

We’ve got so many defense prospects as well.

Why bring up Fox? Or are you saying one team can’t have two franchise defensemen?

Defensemen > Winger

I think they’d compliment each other really well. I’m assuming you’re calling him a crybaby because the NCAA loophole? I’m not a huge fan of it at all.

Yeah that exact reason. It seems like every college free agent wants to play on the Rangers

For me it all depends on team needs.I like to build a team like the devils championship teams of the past or this current islanders team. You need defense and goaltending along with grinders to wear the other team down and depth due to the fact that its a long season and injuries are inevitable. In the case of a team like the isles right now a franchise winger sounds awfully good. For both Buffalo and the rangers they are both better off keeping their guys. The rags have a lot of defensive prospects and Buffalo has a franchise player on the offensive side so what they need is a franchise dman. Eichel and dahlin can both carry the Sabres for the next 15 years if they actually put the right people around them.

He ain’t greater than dahlin but I agree that the rangers don’t need dahlin right now and they’re better off with lafreniere.

It’s not unreasonable, but as a Sabres fan I’ll decline
A franchise defenseman is more valuable than a franchise winger
I’ll take my chances with Dahlin rebounding, now that he’s no longer stuck with a bad coach in a bad system

Sabres decline. Dahlin the only untouchable, you at least read the news.

Dahlin has higher upside and I think having a #1 dman is way more important than having a winger, especially since the Rangers have many wingers
