Team: 2024-25 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: May 10, 2024

Published: May 10, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

While Duchene deal may seem confusing, Buffalo actually has a ton of their stars already locked up long term, with only depth pieces needing extensions in the next 2-3 seasons. I feel like the cap rise each year should be able to handle the cost of these internal raises, so why not make a splash for the offense.

HAHA I had written the description before filling out the team and decided that the speedy and bigger Duchene was a better team fit for a team filled with smaller and younger players. My fault lol

It’s not a bad idea, but I am curious what their plans are. I doubt Robinson is brought back unless it’s for a lot less money, on an AHL deal. I also doubt that Girgensons gets another raise, He should probably be getting less too.

We are saving our Cap to sign Byram, Quinn & Peterka after next season

Anyone we bring in is likely to be for only 1 year
