Thread: Sabres are couple trades away from being elite
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>yes but these aren't those trades</div></div>

So I am going back and forth on who would be best partner for power defensive guy or puck mover two way guy. I just don’t see power becoming an elite offensive dman like dahlin and think he could benefit more from a guy like this because he will help with breakout pass and skating puck out of the zone.
The reason sami and dahlin work is because Sami is elite defensive guy and can bail dahlin out when he rushes the puck and when they need to breakout dahlin is elite skater and puck handler. So he can skate it or rush it out. Power doesn’t have that luxury so having complimentary player who can help him could be wat he needs. I see power has elite two way dman.

As for Levi. We are a playoff team with average goaltending. We need insurance goalie who can play 60 games if Levi struggles. I can’t see him being able to play 50+ games as a rookie without any AHL experience

Thread: Sabres will be a problem in the East
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>Savoie isnt making the team, hes going back. Barzal did it too and it didnt hurt his game at all. Its a foregone conclusion. Ask any of the buff reporters</div></div>

I don’t know wat reporters you’re listening to but everyone is saying he is going to make it. Kris baker was on today saying he will see him making roster and if he struggles play in worlds.

Off course it will not hurt him playing another year in WHL but I don’t that is will be best for his development. He is a much better prospect than Barzal was at his age. Not saying he will be better or worse but he is better. Sabres are also in a position to protect him in the lineup while still giving him very good line mates. Not throw in top line like islanders did.

Thread: Time to go all in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>They aren't rebuilding though. And if they were, they would trade Wilson for a 1st and top prospect, not a middle 6 winger, a good (maybe top) prospect, and a 2nd.</div></div>

They are not doing a full rebuild but they are going to be doing a retool. I dont think they will resign Wilson he will have alot of suitors if healthy. Wilson value is tough to judge because he is best season is 50 points playing on the top line. He is no longer a top line winger. He brings physical aspect to the team that no one else in the league can bring. Olofsson will put up similar point totals and score 20+ goals. Rosen is one the top prospects in the league he just had a good rookie AHL season. And top 40 pick. The value is more then fair for a 1 year rental.

If they are retooling I believe this trade has more value to them then 1st and prospect. They got plug and play player, prospect that should be able to contribute net season and pick.
