Thanks for taking the time to publish this team I appreciate your efforts.

In relation to the team you have composed:

1. Sam is never going to sign for that amount if you want him to stay it has to be $8,000,000 per year if not he is walking. The Sabres missed their opportunity to get a more palatable number; I like the 5 year term though as Samson may enjoy getting another solid contract;

2. Why would Arizona deal Dvorak? If I am Zona GM this is a guy I build around not move. TBH I am not sure that GM Adams would actually make that deal as I know they love Henry and JJP he moved up to draft him. I think this deal would have no chance to happen as both teams are in a rebuild. I guess your team name is thinking the Sabres are close to the promised land and I think that is at least 4-5 years away.

3. The Eichel deal is perplexing. There is no way the Sabres are able to sign Strome the following year so he is either a one year rental or dealt at the trade deadline from an awful team.... Buchnevich is developing but he is running out of RFA years so he really does not fit what Adams is looking for in return..... Chytil has already burned his initial entry level 3 year contract.... If Adams is true to his statements that he wants 1st Round level prospects and 1st Round picks in a deal for Eichel he is going to want players that fit that have not already played through 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 years of their RFA life;

4. If that is the deal for Eichel the Sabres would never get past the Rangers!!!!

5. I see you brought BOGO back and I do not think either party wants another round of that relationship

6. Could you tell me why you chose to keep Risto..... I think a mutual separation is necessary

7. No love ofr Tage Thompson;

I am not a Sabres fan so I dont know your prospects very well but Dvorak has been in trade rumours and he could be a good top 6 player. Bogo has said he might wanna go back to the US to be closer to his family and because of covid restrictions in canada. So would be good veteran presence on that blueline and his family lives close to Buffalo.

Why would it be an issie that they are RFAS since there still young enough so they will fit the timeline.
And as I said before i am not a sabres fan but if you say they should part maybe you keep Jokiharju and trade Risto

Sabres don’t do any of those deals. This does not help to improve the team. Your just giving away good players.

Well the issue is for Adams overall plan of attack as it relates to the RFA's. He is looking to put together players that have a majority of their respective RFA term left. Would he be interested in the players you have traded to him.... OF COURSE but not for his TOP Asset (Eichel)..... I firmly believe that Adams is willing to wait this thing out with Eichel up to the trade deadline to develop a stronger market for Eichel. I do not see Adams trading his TOP ASSET away without getting the team he is trading with top prospect. I know Ranger Fan says NO Kappo or LaFreniere and all I say to that is then no Eichel. Pretty simple.... Adams not trading Jack and letting Jack play out his current contract is not a bad thing for Adams.

As I stated in my first post I love the Dvorak kid but I just do not see Arizona moving him even if there is rumors..... I think the Yotes and Sabres are in the same sport having to start another full rebuild therefore they do not make great trade partners.

GM Adams play is too build around Cozens, Dahlin, Henry, Quinn, Mittelstadt & Eklund (when he goes #1).

Both trades are horrendous. Reinhart is gone, hes not signing in Buffalo. Ullmark's gone too more than likely. The Sabres d prospects are better than the UFAs signed
