Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: May 7, 2023

Published: May 18, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

1. I like the trade with WPG. May need slight alteration, but I'm pretty much set on it as is
2. I don't think we'll see anything major from KAGM this off season
3. I think they like Girgensons and am thinking Okposo probably retires, but this ACGM has the team moving on from both
4. Accairi and Hathaway for flexibility in the bottom-six as well as coverage for the youngins at center
5. All FA deals are one-year deals adding plenty of versatility in 2024-25 and beyond

No from Winnipeg on the first trade and Krebs might be enough to get the Jets wait a year for the 1st. Hard to say, but good value.

wouldnt trading for hellebuyck be fairly major?

Zero shot Savoie makes it over Kulich or Rosen. I mean no disrespect to Savoie, but the AHL guys are doing pretty well and have really rounded out their games.

I suspect he'll get 9 games, but hes got a similar development path as Barzal.

Yeah, it would be major. My edits didn't go through.

Oh boy, where to start with this beautifully disastrous concoction?
In summary, this is a masterclass in how not to manage an NHL team.

Use #CapGeniusAI to have my analyze your team!

That was awesome. Reminds me of computer generated Fantasy Football stuff.

Absolutely brilliant.

I wouldn’t be paying Noel ACCARI 2$ for 1 year. More like 1.7-1.8

WPG says... DEAL, but only if the draft pick is Buffalo's 1st pick this year, not next.

Los Angeles declines. We picked up this excellent prospect named Erik Portillo, remember?

And I'm still not bitter about that as a Jackets/Wolverines fan, no siree.

I don't like losing Krebs in this deal. I would rather send the 23 1st and a B-prospect, use the 24 1st at the TDL for reinforcements.

Now, there may be some very good young roster players available in summer 24. But, we're not there yet.
