Sabres can here, love the idea of taking on Bob for assets. But with no 1st until 2025 that becomes a difficult trade to make

I don't hate the idea, I know there's 0% chance he waives for Buffalo lol

Yeah way I see it is he's an asset himself, but not to Florida LOL. So Sabres get Bob basically for free, and Gudas (2nd-3rd round value), and Hornqvist (maybe a 2nd with 50% retained? At least a 3rd). Hornqvist likewise is still a pretty good player, just a brutal cap hit at this stage. Idk if I need much more for the Sabres.

Long-winded way of saying they're not getting traditional assets for a cap dump... but it's almost enough for a reliable goalie

Yeah lol. But imagine if he did. Would you need them to sweeten the pot? Or think they would need something coming back?

Not really. Add Lundell.

I would take a pick with it, 10 mill over 5 years does start to negatively affect them towards the end

Give Buffalo a pick and I think you’d have something. Maybe the 24 3rd?

I doubt Bob waives for Buffalo, but if it was a 3team trade where Florida gets some scrub AHLer or prospect from the 3rd team in return and then Buffalo retains 3 million more on Bob to a contender they could probably get a 2nd or 3rd for him this year. Also probably do the same for Hornqvist cause I doubt Hornqvist would want to play for Buffalo, but with 50% retained by Buffalo they could probably get a 3rd. Gudas probably gets a 2nd or 3rd. To sum it up, at the very least they’d be getting three 3rds just to retain about 5 million cap. Which isn’t bad.

Buffalo isn’t really in a position to take on Bobrovsky even if he were willing to come. The veteran stopgap goaltender they bring in can’t really have more than a three-year deal. The expectation is that Levi, Portillo, or both will be challenging for a roster spot within three years.

They buy him out if he's underperformed after 2 years. 4 mill cap hit in year 3 of this deal then only 1 for a couple years. It's not perfect, but I think this would be pretty damn good for the Sabres

I'm not sure i would even do it for the full 10 mill contract, but the trade here has 4 mill retained by Florida

I think getting Bob would be a big part of the deal for Buffalo in this little fairytale I've concocted lol. But that wouldn't be awful either, although I'm not sure Sabres want to retain for 4 years

Probably not, but they have cap space to spare. They don’t have any major contracts to hand out until possibly 2-3 years down the line when Dahlin and Power comes up. But by that time they would get rid of Okposo, Hornqvist, Gudas contracts in this scenario.

I honestly disagree, a 4 year deal is one more year than a 3 year deal after all. Best case scenario both young goalies are NHL ready by year 3 and we deal Bob elsewhere. I'd rather have a goalie than just hoping to have one in 3 years

U know he’s not gonna waive, yet u make post after post about it
Sad

This is the only post I've made with this, and I had fun doing it. Youre probably thinking about how a bunch of people, from both fan bases, have used it in their posts since. Go back to having a mental breakdown over cap space the Sabres could never possibly spend, while the rest of us have fun.
