Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 25, 2023

Published: Mar. 25, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Levi will still need development time despite the hype train. Blackwoods 900 save% will be an improvement for the sabers sadly. Jerry is Probable the best goalie on UFA market and Buffalo will have one of the deepest pockets come offseason. so should be able to get a few years of solid goaltending before one of the young guys steals the net (levi).
Murphy Just more Developed responsible D man the Jok. Would be a better help to Power now and for powers development. also funny to send jok back to blackhawks.
Forward group will have a consistent rotation going with that 3rd line. May also include 2nd line LW to find best fit with cozens and quinn.

Hawks decline. Olafsson is a 26 y.o. pending UFA who does nothing to help Hawks rebuild along. And Joki doesn't play the style the Hawks will want their D to play. Too soft in his own end. And his offensive production doesn't make up for his defensive deficiencies.

Devils decline, and even if they accepted Blackwood would get claimed on waivers

Doubt that'd interest Chicago but even if it did there's no reason for them to be sending a 3rd.
