Comire played the back up roll in Win. I don’t get going after saros. Levi will be 1# comi is signed for another year. Package UPL with other picks/prospects for a legit partner for Power.

Levi has played 7 NHL games. I am bullish on him but im not going into another season like we have the past 2 in goal.

I can't really see either Seattle or Nashville doing either of these. Swap out Ukko and the 2nd, but add Quinn or JJP

Well JPP would do, but if a top prospect is the issue, you can pretty much guarantee you won't get Juuso then. It'll take a 1st and one of the team's best prospects. Doubt Kulich makes the cut. Need quality to get quality.

I'm a little confused by this. Kulich is our best/second best prospect, with savoie. He had one of the best ahl seasons as an 18 year old in years, he has exceeded expectations and passed other highly rated prospects like ostlund and Rosen (both mid first round picks by the sabres, who are doing well in their own right). Adam's revealed that the sabres didn't land chychrun because Arizona insisted on a prospect package from buffalo- including kulich, which Adam's balked at. Adam's has not spent anything significant to address the goalie position (which I agree with to a point, I mean I get not overspending in goal, but you have to at least be average, you can't be bad). If kulich is off the table for chychrun, he's off the table for a vet goalie to split time with Levi.

I guess "prospect" can be a bit relative I guess. With only 1 year for Quinn/JPP...I was putting them in that bucket too. No fan base can reasonably say they have 4 untouchable prospects. ESPECIALLY if they're looking to make a trade which this team/post already assumes. To get someone of Juuso's caliber will require a 1st and one of the team's best prospects. Adams likes Kulich...ok Quinn or JPP or Savioe. If I were NSH I'd prefer one of those guys anyway. Kulich is fine, but not 1st or 2nd or likely 3rd. BUF can't possibly even play all these guys. Rosen, Kulich, Quinn, JPP, Outland, Savior. Looks like you're trying to bench Cozens, Tage, Tuch, Skinner. That's 10 out of 12 slots and you're going to need role players, a checking line, defensive stoppers.

I agree, we are in a pretty decent place with forward prospects. I have seen a ton of Sabres fans proposals- olofsson (who I still like), jokiharju, Bryson, and the two goalies, upl and comrie- for something nice. Which doesn't work. My hope is that if/when adams does choose to move some promising young forward pieces, he gets something very nice for them. I understand that even if they all hit, they won't all be here, there is a high amount of skill overlap between these young forwards, makes sense to use something to address a different position- a physical defensive right d, a power forward, maybe a defensive center to help on the pk and win a faceoff. Respectfully, our gm isn't trading anything nice for a goalie, he doesn't value the position like that.

Very fair. To your point. Goalies don't tend to have the highest trade value. With that said...Juuso might break that trend since he's probably the best goalie being traded recently. Sans cap hit issues.

If we didn't have Levi, I might be pushing for that from us
