Sabres turn the page and become one the elites

Created by: BigDog91
Team: 2024-25 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 3, 2024
Published: Mar. 3, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Defense should be improved with getting older and addition of player. Goal should be improved full year of UPL as starter and solid backup. Give Levi another year in the AHL unless he forces our hand at deadline. Hopefully Quinn can stay healthy all year and Thompson and cozens can back on track. This should be a playoff team!!!

Additional Details:
The rangers get 2C they are looking for. One the biggest problems rangers fans is they don’t have a replacement for him when Trouba is done. Joker has proved to be solid dman this year and has improved a lot defensively this year. He is also just 24. His contract should be around 2 million.

Rangers need a 3C, not a 2C….so that being said, they can’t afford an expensive 3C

The Rangers should take this and run!

The Rangers dont need a 2C, but you dont turn it down when its served up on a silver platter. Trocheck was not brought in to be a 2C, but hes turned into our best C. What he's signed for is an absolute steal. Putting Mittelstadt in the fold gives us ridiculous C depth, to the point that having him makes our 3rd line as good as most 2nd lines.

Even if they can fit him and spend $21m+ on centers, Schneider is easily the team’s 2nd or 3rd best defenseman. On a team where they need better defense and not more offense

Schneider being the 2nd or 3rd best defenseman on this team isnt something to be proud of. Schneider hasnt exactly been stellar.

And you get rid of him and the defense gets worse lol lindgren and Trouba are the two biggest problems

Schneider should be playing 2nd pair minutes over Trouba

Schneider is a keeper. I'd do 1 2 & 3 for Mitts though, then flip him after our run for near same return. Wouldn't pay him 7m, better off signing Stephenson 5.6m while keeping assets

Rangers pass, Schneider is not available. And the Rangers have a 2C, his name is Trocheck, and 3C that is hurt but will most likely be back next season, so overpay Mitts yourself or send him elsewhere.

I see everything just fine, I just dont let 1 or 2 good plays mask the bad ones, or the ones not made at all. You speak of Schneider like hes some sort of game changer.

No, I see his talent, size, physicality, young age, leadership potential and low cost. Trading him would be a colossal mistake.
