Thread: Realistic 2020-21 Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzmets</b></div><div>No chance the Sabres make a big splash for goalie. They will no doubt be on an internal cap this year and not signing any big ticket UFA's especially a washed up goalie. They are happy with Ullmarks progression, they have arguably the best collection of goalie prospects in the league and they just hired an AHL coach that specializes in developing young goalies</div></div>

I disagree. Management is going to cater to whatever Eichel wants. He has expressed his desire to win and win now. if they don't make any meaningful acquisitions or progress in the right direction, he's not going to want to stick around any longer. The last thing the Sabres need/want is their franchise center wanting to leave.

Thread: Realistic 2020-21 Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>Forward core looks good. But Holtby and Hutton were horrible last year. Both under .900 for save percentage. They will keep Ullmark, and either keep Hutton or go after a guy like Raanta.</div></div>

I see where you are coming from. In my opinion, I think they try to make a push for Holtby, Markstrom or even Greiss. I think Holtby would be the more logical choice in my opinion, but is also the most expensive.

In regards to the forward depth, I think Fast is someone they are absolutely targeting. The PK was terrible this past season and Fast is a great penalty killer as well as someone who can easily slide up and down the lineup shall he remain healthy. A 3-year, $2.5-$3 AAV is where I see him landing. Mittelstadt will start in the AHL for more seasoning and Thomas Nosek is another guy who plays hard and the Sabres need his intensity and to be a hard team to play against.

Thanks for posting!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claebom</b></div><div>Sens decline easily. They don't have any interest in moving Brown, and if they do it's not going to be for a goaltender, and if it IS for a goaltender it will be for someone far more established than Georgiev and definitely not when they're paying a 2nd too. Brown's one of their top prospects, not just another guy caught in their depth. Nowhere close to a trade they'd be interested in. The Sens will likely have Brown as their 1C or 2C next year, and they're not concerned over goaltending. Easy no.</div></div>

Anderson will not be brought back at the age of 39. Georgiev is by far the smartest option for a young team that is still in the midst of a rebuild. Georgiev is a fringe starter who has the potential to be a runaway starting goalie for them as Högberg struggled for them and is absolutely not ready to start.

In regards to Brown, he isn't even ready for the NHL yet. He still needs one more good season in the AHL as he showed great progress this season with 28-points in 25-games. Alex Formenton, Josh Norris &amp; Drake Batherson are all ahead of him in the depth chart. You could even make the case Vitaly Abramov is ahead of him right now as well. 25 games is too small a sample size to have the mindset that he's ready to play 15 minutes a night in the NHL. Ottawa's biggest question mark heading into 2020-21 is in fact goaltending.
