Team: 2021-22 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 5, 2022

Published: Mar. 5, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I am only guessing their value, it could be higher it could be lower.
If the Capitals were willing to give a third for Mike Weber, who knows what goes through the mind of NHL GM’s.

Anderson, is 7-6 while the balance of the GK are 11-24-8, safe to say Karmanos will be receiving calls on his availability.
Butcher while he did not get much playing time in Buffalo there could be teams looking for a puck moving LHD
Eakin did not fit into the Granato system but he won 57% of his FO, teams struggling to win FO could have an interest
Hägg any team looking to add a hard hitting LHD who is willing to put their body in front of pucks will want him
Miller was on his way to a career year until he got hurt, a second is most likely his ceiling now.

Other possible trades
Hinostroza will be considered by many teams. He spent most of the year playing with 4th liners garnering only 14:08 minutes of ice time, but still put up 17 pts in 36 games. 2.0pt/60 tied him with Nick Suzuki.
Pysyk is another player that will be considered by many teams looking for bottom pairing RHD who could a larger role if a RHD was injured.

I would not be surprised if both Pysyk and Hinostroza were Sabres next year. That is why I did not include them among the trades.

TBH, I would offer Anderson a contract as well.

Yeah I think these are good estimations on what they'll get.

I'm not sure why you're so high on Anderson though. His past 19 games in 2 seasons have been okay from the little I've watched but he hasn't been good for the bulk of the 3 seasons before.

Signing a 41 y/o goalie doesn't seem like a great idea either but if he wants to play for the league minimum, I guess why not right?

EDIT: By being 'so high' on him, I mean thinking a team will give a 3rd and wanting to resign him. IMO it'll be a later round pick if anything

I'm with @QualityTrades1 here: pretty reasonable values. You might be one round high on everyone except Butcher, where you might be one round low, but I wouldn't be willing to bet that I'm right any more than I'd be willing to be that you're right. But I do think that you're right in that Hinostroza and Pysyk might be appealing to some teams, too.

He looked really good against the Stars he was screened on every goal he gave up.

Thank you very much for your comments, I agree with them all.
I was thinking of Anderson more for his possible mentoring capabilities than his GK.
I think if he were to play in about 15 games a year, he would be most effective at this point in his career.

Oh 100% agree on that then. He would absolutely make a fantastic mentor given his experience.

Hoping for that 2nd for Miller. The only one that I think is wrong is butcher, he was the worst player on the ice when he played. Plus juolevi just got waived today, I'm curious to see if anybody takes a crack at a former 5th overall left shot d. Left shot d seems like a saturated market, I don't think any playoff team would be interested in butcher.

First thank you for your comment.
LOL first Sabre ACGM to comment.
One never knows, as I said in my comment, just a guess.
Look at Weber for a 3rd, IMHO Butcher will still be in the NHL next year, Weber never played another NHL game after that trade.
Most importantly, with 7 players who still have value unlikely to get full value for all or any of the 7.
If I were the GM, I would rather get decent value for all 7 than maximum value for only one.
TBH, I would be satisfied with 7 4th round picks as all but Miller signed as an UFA.

LOL I was upset when Murray picked Nylander over Sergachev, imagine taking Juolevi over Tkachuk or Keller?
IMO unlikely any one will take a chance on Juolevi.
Of the top 10 players taken that year only he an Nylander have played less than 240 games and he has played only 33 NHL games.

I loved the Wild game yesterday.
Nice to see Mittelstadt play well. Buffalo may have a decent 2nd line the balance of the year.
Skinner has been on a mission for the past month.
On a down note, our defense does not know how to clear out the front of the net.
Anderson was screened on all four goals.

Samuelsson and power should be able to clear the crease. I know a few Sabres fans on here have mentioned oleksiak as a guy to target, he's not cheap and he's got a nmc, but if it's a problem, he's a gorilla, and he plays both sides. Bryson and jokiharju are on the light side, pysyk isn't particularly physical, I see dahlin throwing his weight around a little more, so that helps too. Still plenty of games left to see if it's a problem that needs to be addressed. Also, I won't pick on any one center, but we have a young center core, and your job is crease to crease, and that's gonna take time, there's still lapses in our end.

that is why moving Mittelstadt to wing makes so much sense.
Cozens is certainly not shy about making his presence known.

I am absolutely thrilled with the job Granato has done.
After 56 games this Sabre team has 7 more pts than last years team.
As I watch the games this year, I feel they could win every night!
Never had that impression last year.
