Fixing the Sabres

Forums/Armchair-GM

Page 1 of 1

Created by: Oilers4Days

Team: 2021-22 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: May 28, 2021

Published: May 28, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Explanations:

I got rid of Jeff Skinner and his contract. This won't happen, obviously, because no one wants him but Buffalo should try to get rid of him.

Trading Olofsson and Eakin for picks was just so I can be able to sign more players.

All the players I signed are good hardworking players. They are all good solid players that could really help the team. I also still have loads of cap space, so if anything goes wrong with the team (eg. they're trash next season) the Sabres can still re-build their team.

This might not boost the Sabres to contend for the Cup, but they might make the playoffs.

I just realised, I signed everyone to only a 1 year deal.

That's not supposed to happen, all players should be on at least 2-4 yr deals.

Hm.

Why Dahlin created at 925k$

He'll get at least 5M$ from the team or an arbitrator

Wherever are jokiharju and Mittelstadt

Coleman probably gets offered 3.5M$ min. by a team

Sknner requires so much to take, crazy bad contract

The team like this would waste another year of Eich

There's 24M in cap space though so idk

🤔

A 4th doesn't get Olofsson. Eakin doesn't get a 3rd.
This whole thing is a mess.

I just needed them gone for a pick. It can be a lower pick too.

Bellemare was a fourth line center for Vegas and now currently a fourth line center for Colorado. He is great for that role. He is not a second line player.

Olofsson is worth much more than that.

Heck I'd says he's just a pretty decent 4C even 😕
