This is pretty bad

If Pesce was willing to sign a deal like that, Carolina would’ve locked him up already. Word is, he wants almost DOUBLE that- something in the $7mil per range on a longer term deal

Kane also isn’t signing that cheap- no way

Also,
dumping Jokiharju for a 5th is just dumb
And Skinner isn’t going anywhere


This is just wildly unrealistic, sorry

I've hated Joki since his first game in Buffalo, I will sell him for whatever I'd like.

I stand by - there should be a projected number on here - there is 5Mil cap space to work with for both Pesce and Kane to go up.

Also it's obviously unrealistic, the Sabres would never signed 7 guys in an offseason, it's also a website meant to be imaginary...

Lol
Ok, first, yes this site is “imaginary”
But if the point is to have decent conversation with others, then trying to keep things as realistic as possible will only help

And no offense,
but the Sabres dumping Jokiharju for a 5th simply isn’t happening- no matter how much u hate him
And Pesce & Kane aren’t signing deals that small, no matter how much Cap space you’re willing to allocate to them

Joshua would be a good target. You are overpaying in dollar amount and term, which is probably what it would take in a competitive market. I get wanting physical play, but I don't think macdermid is good at all. I thought I heard pesce turned down a buffalo trade last year, so there's possibly that, and that he likely gets a fair amount more on the market- unless he takes less for sunshine or a shot at a cup. I don't know if there's any appetite to buy Skinner out internally, I imagine the new coach would have some say, Skinner is an offense only winger, who refuses to backcheck, and his game has not translated to success at the team level. Having said that, it's gonna cost to get rid of him. I don't care so much about Kane, adams has been interested in the recent past, as long as he doesn't overpay AND he doesn't make the mistake he made with Taylor hall- letting him have a full ntc, then getting peanuts when he picks his spot (if things go bad and he wants out). Bleuger and Martin are fine for what we need, no interest in Bryson coming back though.
