Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 14, 2022

Published: Apr. 14, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Realistic Look at the 23-24 Sabres. If Sabres pick is 8th and Vegas 15th trade both to move up and get Jiricek or Nemec. I think Jiricek would probably fall to 8th though.

when most of your defensemen have 0 games experience, its hard to call them the best yet. but there would be a lot of reasons to be hopefull!

Yea, this is also 2023-24. Johnson and Jiricek are unknowns. Power, Samuelsson, and Dahlin have all looked like top4dmen. Dahlin a true #1, Samuelsson is a good 1b and Power looks like he could become a true #1 but no way to be sure just yet.

Agreed. Solid outlook for sure. But Boston, Tampa, Florida are all >>>, and I'm sure Wings fans would argue that they're pretty comparable when it comes to future upside.

Right now sure, but Boston, and Florida in 2 years won't be better. Tampa could still be.
