Interesting trade w VGK
I’d be down for it

But there’s no way we could sign Pk88 to a multi year deal also
Need $$$ to pay Byram, Quinn & Peterka next year
Heck, even without adding Kane it’s gonna be hard to make it work

Theyll have about 20mil as is, and that would mean Skinners moved somehow, trade or buyout

I think its possible. Cap will raise, with new money coming from Utah. Those 3 extensions will cost about 15 mil, assuming Byram will not get more than Power and Quinn will be bridged, because of injury history. And there is always Skinner buyout possible in 2025

I think it’s more likely that Quinn stays healthy this year & earns a big contract

And while on paper a Skinner buyout is possible,
I don’t believe it’s likely at all- I’ll believe it when i see it

Frankly that’s a tad overkill for the return; I’d give them Rosen and a 2nd but they’ll have to move on from Karlsson or money in some manner just to function next year.

Perhaps Rosen, 2025 2nd and swapping 1sts this year.

Sabres cannot handle two big contracts for Peterka and Quinn, without handling Skinner contract first. And there is Tuch and Benson contacts, which expire before Skinner's.

Then buy out Skinner next offseason, when it's much better to do so with the cap.

A healthy Quinn, will be a career year, 20g - 40a, and we may be talking 3.5-4.5M.
He makes offense happen. That's where it all went this year, he was out. (plus Tage injury)

Love him enough to sacrifice the future idk, i think its hard to trade him and well more ideal to buy him out next year. I think he'll be bought out then regardless of who they sign this year(unless they do nothing at all, which will be even worse)

Try to trade him this season, if not - buyout him in 2025

We can if we aren’t doing things like signing Pk88 to a multi year deal

They don’t have to sacrifice the future to keep Skinner,
it just means we can’t do stuff like your Pk88 signing

Quinn could easily put up offensive stats similar to Peterka & they could both earn long term deals over $5mil per
Maybe even in the $7mil per range

$7M is a little rich for a first bridge deal on either. Could maybe settle between 4.5-5.5M.
The injury factor would be in consideration for Quinn.

By all means, I hope Quinn and JJ perform and are legit top6. Quinn makes Cozens go. Hope to see a bounce back there also.

You’re assuming it’ll be a bridge deal
It very well could be a long term deal like Cozens

JJ - Long Term
Quinn - Bridge

As it stands today.

Again, that’s YOUR assumption
It has no basis in fact however
