If I'm Ottawa, and I've just spent a boatload on Debrincat/Chychrun over the last 6 months, I'm absolutely not pivotting for picks/prospects at this point. Not saying that if they were selling this wouldn't be it *if I was selling*, because it's not a bad package per se, I just see the benefit in flipping the script, especially if you're doing it with the team you're (likely) fighting with next year for a playoff spot.

Kulich is not available and why are we adding a goal scorer on a huge contract? We are one of the highest scoring teams in the league

How do you plan on paying dahlin and power?

Also we have other needs if you want to spend money

I don't see any reason why Ottawa should have any concern about picks or prospects. Adding Josh Norris back in that lineup will only improve their lineup.

*IF* Debrincat won't sign long term, maybe they do something at the deadline, but for now, they've spent the last 4-5 years stockpiling young assets. If anything, I could see them adding, not subtracting.

No cap space, it's bad

It's almost like it's nice to score AND have defensively responsible players AND have a cost controlled netminder

if only there was a part of a website where you can check if there's plenty of space to ink Power/Dahlin in the followin year

it's like you don't even try

Ottawa probably doesn’t do this, and Buffalo shouldn’t pursue it anyway.

Division rivals rarely make big deals together, and Buffalo is not parting with Kulich if he was off the table at the deadline. If the Sabres are going to make a big addition, they don’t have to give up assets to do it. There are free agents they can go after and give up nothing.

give up nothing... other than cap space they need next year for Power/Dahlin

Buff and OTT are rivals like CBJ and DET are rivals.... no playoffs in years means do whatever it takes to improve with whatever cost control there is to be had

Look at you worried about our cap space when you are adding 12.7 million to our top 9 paying massive assets to do it.

We are all set thank you

Oops hit the wrong one Can't see the Sabres going for Cat. Timo would have been the better fit

How'd you reckon 12.7 from Power/Dahlin money when it's only 8.7 for a winger far better than Skinner in any multi year sum?

You traded for a 3c to replace the 3c you traded away needlessly

No one but you thinks buffalo would consider this

Edit: i see you've edited the trade now a 2nd or third time?

Hard to keep up

CBJ pass. Two "meh" players and a mid-rounder won't work.

Rosy's value is probably around a 2nd +...
