Samuelsson could be traded but i dont see why theyd want Kotkaniemi. The Sabres need players like Samuelsson way more

Jarvis getting that much should get someone fired. He needs to be bridged, and he won't get a hair over 5 on a bridge. That's WAY too much for Drury, and this doesn't address the 2C hole that ironically, Necas would. If you're going to do the Utah deal, Schmaltz needs to play 2C.

That Buffalo deal makes 0 sense. Carolina will get Nikishin towards the back half of this upcoming season, and KK is a perfect long term 3C signed to a good deal with great upside...

Jarvis deal is a little rich. I would love to get him signed long term but I think the smarter thing for next year is to bridge him. That’ll leave enough money to get a better 2C than Drury and shift him down to 3C to be KK’s replacement. Also, pass on the Samuelsson trade. He’s not really a big need with Nikishin coming up.

Don't think that they'll offer Guentzel more than 9 mil per year, but we'll see.

I would love Necas for Schmaltz, but I don't think Kesselring would be a good fit. DW is going to try his best to lock Chatfield down, he's been amazing for the bottom pair, and with Morrow slotting in Pesce's spot, RHD will be a bit crowded.

Don't think we'd see a JVR or Wheeler on the team considering we have players like Nadeau, Blake, Unger Sorum that are fighting for forward spots.

Its unlikely nadeau or Blake will be challenging for a roster spot. They need to add weight. FUS is likely to be only real challenger.

The center group is far too weak with this group. Kuzy isn’t a match for our system. Drury is barely a 4C. His point numbers are propped up from a Necas hot streak in January. Wheeler and jvr are far too slow to play in our system. That 3rd line would barely play

Yeah, I'd agree for FUS being the most likely. I really loved Nadeau's play even from a super small sample size, he'd be next, then with Blake following.
