<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Again, nobody is assuming the Blues want to extend Buch. This has been well established.

Right which is that he could be available for a fair price if extension talks don't pick up, which this is more than fair.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You disagree that a player openly being offered around and a player a team has no intention of trading are different? Well, okay, but that sort of stance from a bidding team ain't gonna fetch Buch.

And exactly no one is assuming the plan is to re-sign Buch. Army has made that clear repeatedly and publicly.</div></div>

No I disagree that it should be assumed the player even wants to re-sign. Or that the team wants to re-sign him.
At this point that offer is as competitive as you're gonna get for him. A 2LD(upside) plus a mid-1st round prospect coming off a solid AHL year and an unprotected 1st in the upcoming draft is a haul.

This is a mess.
Laine wouldn't fetch a 1st, let alone all of that value.

Thread: Lindy Guys

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Being discussable and on the block are two very different animals. And what might occur later is irrelevant today. Today, he's not available, but Army is willing to listen because it's the smart thing to do. Doesn't make him available today. If Buch stays past the draft, it's a pretty safe bet he is in STL when the season starts provided no one says magic words.</div></div>

I disagree whole heartedly with this sentiment for all of the reasons I previously stated.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Right, but why would they do that? He's not on the block. Someone will have to pry him away.</div></div>

You're assuming the plan is to re-sign him and that they agree to terms including NTC/NMC etc.
Also from his end that he wants to stay with the team.
Any pending UFA is always discussable as being available because either side might see it as beneficial to get out while there's value on the table.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>It's not your money</div></div>

I just mean relative to the Cap. That's a big percentage to be allocated to 1 position that isn't a Franchise altering 1C.

Thread: Wacky idea

If your Marner extension is 12M x 8 you're now paying him 13M, 15M, 15M for the first three years when you add the retention on Skinner. Plus the payment of Samuelsson and two 1sts... I think that's gonna hamstring you way too much financially

If the trade happens after the draft then the next 1st is 2025...

Buffalo would never... Team controlled assets with room to grow in Quinn and Benson wouldn't be moved for a pending UFA due a raise from his current 10M$+ AAV...

Make it Smith and Eller and I think Buffalo would say yes. Skinner is still the question mark though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>Neither of these guys is the GM, who views Samuelsson as a top 4 guy.</div></div>

I don't see how you can roster build to deploy him in the Top4. Byram has played some of his worst hockey on the right side and Power-Dahlin can't be broken up with how they played down the stretch. Need someone to play the right side with Byram and that moves Samuelsson to 3LD or off the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>You do not sign the top C on the FA market to play at 3C. You do not spend that much money on a 3C. You need a good work truck, not a sportscar. Of course you can never have too many centers, but first of all he gets more than that, and second of all, Buffalo has bigger problems than filling 3C. Better to spend 6.5 million on an actually viable veteran 2RD, for example.</div></div>

I did that too...

Thread: Samuelsson

Even if Samuelsson was a dump, buying him out costs like 750K$ a year for 12 years since he's under 26. There's no reason to pay to get rid of him... That said he has legitimate value anyways so it's a moot point.

Thread: Turning this ship around

Bernard-Docker is like an appendix in Buffalo. With Dahlin, Power, and Byram there's no need for an Offense only D. I like Batherson but not at the cost of Kulich. For that reason, I'm out.

Thread: Sammy in Sammy Out

My issue with this plan of attack is there's serviceable 4th liners out there for 800K. I'd rather the 6.5 and 2.5 be put together to go get someone much higher on the food chain for the top lines.

Wahlberg is a second round pick who has done nothing but live up to expectations so far. If you take out the 1st it could be fair. That's the main issue.

Thread: Holy Macklin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boos</b></div><div>Thompson had 47 goals and 94 points playing with Skinner and Tuch in 2022-23.

This season every one of those guys suffered injuries that hampered their play. I'm not saying Skinner is a Selke candidate, nor am I willing to say that his production won't drop off. However, Skinner's PDO isn't that far off of Marner's and his style of play will allow him to be in that 25-goal area for a few more seasons.

Skinner had an off year this year, as every Sabres player not named JJ Peterka had, and even so he managed 24 goals.

An extra $3M for Marner for two seasons after next as a Skinner's replacement and $12M for six more seasons for a winger just doesn't make sense to me. At least not a winger that's more of an assist-guy that can play good defense.</div></div>

That's fair.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingMurray</b></div><div>I wish they would for completely selfish reasons, but I don't see Toronto taking Skinner under any conditions unless he's bought out and they sign him for pennies on the dollar.</div></div>

This trade would save them 3M$ next season and then 5M$ the subsequent two seasons to spend on rounding out their defense and goaltending. Not to mention the 1sts that are valuable player acquisition assets
