A guaranteed 1st would have to be attached for TK to be involved

Oh boy
I’m a Sabres fan too, so I’m gonna try & go easy on you

First, it’s VERY wishful thinking

And next- even if we could pull these trades off, it doesn’t work moving forward with out Cap
Idk how we afford Hanifin when Power & Dahlin are getting big contracts next year?? And Hanifin on our team making over $6mil is just gonna raise the number for Power

But let’s just say we make it work & fit those defenseman contracts under our Cap
The season after that, we have to come up with $$$ to pay Konecny & Saros, not to mention raises for Quinn & Peterka

And that’s leaving some guys out that we’d 100% have to part with (Mitts, our Captains, Clifton & E.Johnson, etc etc)


It’s just not realistic
This is video game territory with your wishlist here

Comrie isn't any better than Johansson and no chance TB gives him 1.3 in Cap EASY PASS.

We really don't need another LD, and Hanifin isn't really a good partner for either Dahlin or Power. He isn't the best Defensive partner. And really can't see the other Trades going down.

Levi is saros, or what buffalo is hoping levi is, Buffalo is in an interesting place in net, kind of a 6 month window of sink or swim with a 3-headed monster, then possibly a rental to finish year, and bargain hunt a ufa partner for Levi going forward over spending that much players and cap on saros. Best case upl/levi turn into a viable tandem. I wouldn’t go any big ticket items at this point, small money small term to compliment the guys all ready in house. Buffalo going to be an interesting squad this year.

Flyers easily decline, u could double that offer and it’s probably still not enough

NSH wouldn't do that. There is no interest in either Bryson or Lybushkin, and the 1st being top 10 protected makes it even harder to agree to that by taking on what would be cap dumps in NSH. The defense pipeline is deep enough that most of them would have likely played a full season in the NHL at this point, but there is no room in NSH.

I've long said Saros to BUF starts with either Ostlund or Savoie, and that still is very much true. Saros isn't likely going to be moved, but if he was NSH would be looking for more quality than quantity. If Ostlund is the piece, then it would be something like Ostlund, UPL, an unprotected 2024 1st, and another pick somewhere between rounds 3 and 5. The higher up that last pick would result in NSH sending a pick as well, but it would be a 4th round pick at highest. If it is Savoie, just take the last pick off, but same package. Saros is top 5 goalie on a friendly contract through 24-25, and is likely worth somewhere around what Sorokin is getting paid. Trotz has all but come right out and say he doesn't intend to move Saros unless the deal blows him away and is effectively an overpay by the receiving team.
