Thread: If Lou wasnt an idiot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>editor9999</b></div><div>The Toews trade was kinda inevitable since they were gonna be cap crunched. Although losing Eberle in the expansion draft could have be avoided by just exposing Clutterbuck.</div></div>

Inevitable? I’m so tired of this bull****, so if Isles are in a cap crunch going forward they give away Barzal because he needs a new contract? He could’ve traded away Nick Leddy, Josh Bailey, Cal Clutterbuck, Leo Komarov, Andrew Ladd, Johnny Boychuks contract or even Jordan Eberle, just to keep a young top pair defenseman who signed for 4 million in Colorado. And no he didn’t became a top pair defenseman on Colorado, he already was with Isles. I realize Ladd, Boychuk, Komarovs contracts would be very expensive to get rid of at the time with the dead cap and all but whatever prize you just do it to keep Toews. I’m sure Lou would’ve been able to give away Leddy and Bailey without giving up any assets etc. this narrative that it was inevitable is the most tiresome ever.

Thread: Shakeup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iks</b></div><div>I don't see Varlamov as goalie situation resolution for Sabres, so Buffalo pass. <strong>Certainly not long term!</strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabresforlife</b></div><div>I agree with this <strong>Maybe!</strong> ... The NY press has some articles where they are basically saying he shouldn't be a starter and is too expensive to be a backup. <strong>This is of course a huge concern.</strong></div></div> I would make this trade:
First, it is for only one year,
Second, Semyon's SV 0.911 is significantly better than Anderson/Tokarski duo last year 0.898.
Let's presume a team gives up 30 shots per game over 82 games Semyon would give up 219 goals while our best tandem last year would give up 251 goals, 32 fewer goals.
Third, Semyon would be an insurance policy in case Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is not ready for full time NHL action.
Fourth, his salary would help the Sabres to reach the cap floor, while upgrading at the weakest position.
Fifth, if Semyon plays as well next year as he has this year, there will be many teams offering a second round pick for him.

IMO this is a no brainer, Buffalo upgrades their GK while allowing Luukkonen to develop, helps to reach the cap, would get the second back at the end of the year.
