Sabres struggled scoring goals this year they aren't trading Kulich. I'd be ok trading Samuelsson if an equally young RHD were available.
Both of the Sabre players are under control for a long time...hard seeing Adams trade them at this point.

Struggling to score goals? Batherson is your guy. Scored 28 this year and his goal totals have gone up each year. Hes under contract for 3 more years and JBD is a RD under team control for a while too

Why would you resign a 37 year old Giroux to 10 mil when he should only be getting about 6-8?

Habs will take Batherson though, would you take Mesar + Harris or Struble for him?

Inter division trades are pretty rare 🫤; and can’t see anyone trading for Norris on that ticket with his injury history

Dubas should take that if Karlsson will waive.

Bernard-Docker is like an appendix in Buffalo. With Dahlin, Power, and Byram there's no need for an Offense only D. I like Batherson but not at the cost of Kulich. For that reason, I'm out.

No on the TK trade. Yes, your pick is intriguing but thats about it for a player. GMs won't trade established players for unproven assets that are not a guarantee. Boucher doesn't move the needle.

I think Dubas jumps on the Pens trade. Fits his narrative

For Pick 7 Flyers should absolutely accept that TK deal rather than extend him. This is coming from a Flyers fan.

Disagree. Yea maybe if you do not care about culture. Flyers brass does. History of trades with players of TK's skillset requires a bit more.

Curious as to what more you think we could get for a 60 pt winger with a history of injuries. He’s not the type of player who ages well, see Gallagher. Trading him now for a 7OA pick is the definition of selling high.

That's gonna be a no from buffalo dawg

He's a 68 point winger on a crapppppy team. Hes gritty. Buffalo fans already admitted they would part with 8th plus a prospect C. Put TK with a playmaking C and hes off to 75-80 land. If you can guarantee me a 75-80 player at 7, ok ill deal.

I will clarify I believe he is a notch above what Gallagher was. He is also a great culture guy and that was a huge problem in the past. However, the point of bringing in Torts was to improve culture. TK was here when culture was **** too. The culture change is a mindset Torts is instilling. TK has been one of the biggest ones to embrace it but IMO that is not a reason to overpay him when we won’t be contenders until he is regressing and locked up long term.

Buffalo has pick 11 before lottery.

I'd rather keep Samuelsson and see if he can put together a full season. He's really the only defensive d that the Sabres have. I'd like to say that maybe ruff will get him to be more physical, but I don't expect much change.

OTT dont do any of these as they are all horrendously bad for OTT

OTT has zero interest in EK, he would make OTT worst

Bath is worth several times what that pathetic offer is and OTT not trading Bath.

chych has far more value than lundel

TK not worth a top 10 pick

Flyers declined

rather have EK than Norris.
EK play isn't bad and he's stayed healthy. It's only 3 more seasons.
But that Norris contract is 8 mil for 6 more. No thanks.

You have to understand one thing Adams isn't trading these young guys. Kulich is a sniper and Adams tried trading up to get him and when he couldn't move up got lucky and Kulich dropped in his lap.
I wasn't dumping on Batherson just going on Adams track record. When Meier was available, once one of Savoie or Kulichs names were brought up as part of the trade he dropped out.
