Crazy unrealistic blockbuster

Created by: Connor_McJesus_97
Team: 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 23, 2023
Published: Sep. 23, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Fowler solitifies the D and makes it really good and 3 out of the 4 skaters on the top 4 are great skaters.

Zegras makes this top 6 formidable.

Gibson is still a solid goaltender who will do just fine and he will be a great mentor for Levi who will one day take over as the 1A option. Olofsson is not someone who can stay here longterm so Anaheim will sign him instead and you at least get Silfverberg as rental which will bring good experience.

Do not take this too seriously I was just feeling like I had to do a crazy blockbuster for fun!

laugh Krebs and Quinn are the only good pieces, The rest are scraps.

Cam Fowler doesn't waive for Buffalo, His 4 team trade list rejects them.

And with Gibson and Zegras added, It's not even close to fair value.

Take out Fowler (who, as @MoSeider53 accurately says, almost certainly won't waive his 4-team NTC for Buffalo) and Comrie and that's pretty reasonable value from both sides, although once Fowler's cap hit is subtracted, you don't need (and probably wouldn't get) the retention on Gibson.

That's the right term, because it expires while Zegras is still a RFA.

I swear that takes him to 26 y.o. and UFA... Also to offer < 5 mill... just as disrespectful as Verbeek's offer

I think that you have to have 7 accrued seasons (Zegras would have only 6) or be 27 years old on June 30 of the expiry year.
