Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: May 24, 2023

Published: May 24, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

i fully support the sabres "rebuild" ( more of a retool) and how they have approached it, i just think its fun to look back and undo some trades to see how things could have been, they got a damn good future with their current real team... would this team be better?

Are you sure you don’t want to still undo that Risto deal 😅 I would be okay with undo’ing it

Only player I would want back is Reinhart. The core players from 2015-2021 was an awful time period.

These were win win trades and necessary.

Also pretty sure Tage never moves to center this way.

Jack, Sam and the Sabres are all better off

Agree but I dont think I would trade Kulich and Levi for him straight up at this point.
