I don't think Dahlin is signing for less than 9M, especially for 8 years. I'd even go as far as to say i'd expect it to be closer to 10M on an 8 year deal. But that still gives them lots of room to work with

Benson right now is better than any Sabres forward prospect, Kulich is the only one that you could really argue for. I think we don’t see any forward rookies this year besides Rousek, unless Kulich gets called up, but next season I think Kulich, Benson, and maybe Savoie compete for roster spots.
Edit: Also, if Levi is only re-signing for 2 million, then Kevyn Adams either brings in a starter or has failed

This team will be in big trouble if in 2025-2026 season Zemgus and Kyle are still on the team. With all the youth in Roch it would mean not drafting well. And if we Need Helle then Levi isn’t the goalie the Sabres thought he is

This is all over the place with those signings. And what is that Hellebuyck trade, no way JJ is included especially if he's a Rental

Tuch isn’t going anywhere, he’ll likely be our next Captain

And i know you’re a Jets fan,
but us shipping out Peterka- even for Hellebuyck- is pretty unlikely
Maybe we’d send Rosen or Ostlund,
but i really don’t think we are even gonna trade for him
Hellebuyck wants a long term extension & i don’t see us doing that- not at all

Nah its going to be Dahlin. He owns the room , and the moment they make tuch captain the photos of him at halloween dressed as an ICE agent will resurface and then its a story again.
