Sabres have a chance at first in 2022 and 2023 which is great and they can't drop out of the top 3 if they end up in the bottom in 2022...

So say the sabres got 1-1 or 2-1 or 1-2 they will be set for a long time.

McDavid - Wright
Eichel - Lambert
Stroke - Savoie (hopefully he will be what they expected strome 2 be)

Bedard - Matthews
Michkov - Laine (the one we saw everyonce in a while that we wondered would be the next Ovi).


This is how I view the players coming in, obviously I don't hope Savoie turns out to be like Strome I'd hope he would become Barzal, or Aho... Same with Michkov I'd hope he could be one what we thought Laine could be after his rookie year.



Imagine this sabres line up

Ollofson - Wright - Michkov
Skinner (JJ Peterka) - Cozens - Quinn
Roustallainen - Mitts - Thompson/Krastzov(Eichel trade)
Routsalainen- Asplund- Rosen

Dahlin - Jokiharju
Power - Lundkvist (Eichel trade)
Sammuellson - Johnson
Butcher/Hagg

UPL
Levi

Sabres still have Piluts rights and he is a stud as well!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Yeah no harm meant either way; just personal preference and adding that example as if I was a player.

But the point being that you or I may love our home towns (or whatever) but its not easy to compete when Florida or Vegas as they appeal geographically (weather, locale, etc). And then add in they have clear financial advantages and it's hard to compare. I may never want to live in the US; but I won't make the same bread if I was a millionaire offered 50 in Buffalo or lets say Vancouver compared 50 in Nevada.

Buffalo is a fantastic city but they cant compete (if the Sabres were good they would have a lot more UFA potential), Vancouver is a awesome place and different from a lot of other Canadian NHL cities but still hard to compete with Nevada.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>I mean the US is perceived to be it's worst in all areas, the perception of the us is what people see in the inner city...but it's not different from Canada in anyway in some of the rural areas outside of the us. I used to go to Canada 3 out of the 4 weeks in a month every week every year until the border closed and it's not different at all...</div></div>

This was another one of my posts, the NHL needs to do something though I feel.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>I 100% agree. I would never want to live in the US. But when you’re a millionaire the decisions are a bit different than what it would be for normal people. So there’s taxes and the fact that 78% of the potential jobs come from the US. And since they’re millionaires being cared for by billion dollar companies, they don’t have much else to worry about, except for things that money can’t change, like weather.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Same goes for both sides tho. I think the point being is a unfair tax issue in terms of parity. If you want parity in the league where players can get equal pay everywhere then it is a issue. Because yes I can sign a 70mil contract but it will not be the same everywhere and other places will give me a huge benefit (which I dont think anyone is to blame).

Because as a Canadian; I would NOT want to ever live or raise a family in most of the USA. There are select AREAS I would change my mind for but in general I would have little desire to move to the USA in general (ex: the USA ranks 122 in all countries on the peacefulness index compared to Canada at 10). Now thats a subjetive opinion of me having no desire to live there.

Objectively; Florida flexes a tax advantage than most places can never keep up with. Even other US states. I don't think theres a way to fix it really (there are but nothing "easy" for the league). In general a luxury cap should be added to allow anyone to have the choice of spending more. Like the MLSE would then gain a benefit compared to other Canadian markets because they can flex their wealth. This then causes other issues for other Canadian teams lol.

There wont be an easy objective fix: but there is a advantage for some teams that NO other teams get, not just Canadian. That takes away from the equal field the NHL tries to produce with their current structure (as all teams share in growth and revenue and spread the money throughout).</div></div>

I'm just messing around, I know what you mean and even places like buffalo have the same disadvantage. I've got bunches of friends and family in Canada so I know the facts lol.
