Description
Timo can give the sabres two elite lines.
Jesse can hopefully improve under sabres system.
Addition to the defense can help give the sabres depth and defensive responsibility.

3 is probably the only one I wouldn't do. I don't know if Chicago accepts that. But everything seems close.

Not the time for BUF. Still think this team folds if they face a BOS/CAR type team in the playoffs

These are some nice moves, and well-valued in my opinion (although, like @Buff36, I think you might be light on the Chicago offer -- but you have additional expendable assets to make up the difference). The resulting team is a very good one and would have a bright future. The key, of course, is whether you'd be able to get Meier to re-up.

This is prolly true. But these guys need playoff experience. Also all the addition will be resigned. So, it is not like this all or nothing. They can all grow together. Also sabres have alot prospects and young roster players. We will have to trade some of them because they all cant make the roster.

I believe sabres are one of the few teams that can afford him and pretty easy to see this team is going to be dangerous team for along time. If we cant resign him we can trade him at next year deadline. With this team his points should take a bump up and should get most of the assets back.

I’m assuming u just don’t like Olofsson for whatever reason,
but that’s a horrible return for a guy on pace for almost 40goals this year

I agree with the Sabres being able to put a trade together that really doesn't hurt there future. Don't want to but they could use Savoie and it would only be a dent in there forward Prospect Pool. Adams has the luxury to pretty much do what he wants. Don't think anyone excepted this growth from some of these kids. Other then the Defense his plan is working. He can wait and in 2yrs this team will be a powerhouse just from internal growth or he can move the needle quicker with Timo, he's in a Win Win situation really.

The Jets have no reason to downgrade Stanley to a player with only one year of term left.

That's a strong offer for Meier. SJS would have to take that I'd think. Hawks probably ask to swap Bloom in place of Kisakov.

ostlund and mitts are not going to get you Timo. Trying to dresss it up by adding a VGK second? Going to need to add a legit centerpiece to that 1st rounder like Savoie or Kulich to get the ball rolling

Ostlund is a nice piece, yes I know about Pronman's rankings but he included a lot of young players already playing. Most have Ostlund about 50 in the top 100 prospects, so he's a nice piece. I agree we might need to kick it up a bit, but Ostlund isn't just a throw in.
