Thread: Petey gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>This is such odd logic. You can't possibly compare the Eichel situation here. The Eichel situation had to do with much more than his contributions to the team and Pettersson is a much better player than Eichel.

If you have a team with both Pettersson and Tage? Do you understand that rivals McDavid and Drai? Don't get me wrong, Cozens is a fine young player with plenty of room to grow, but Pettersson is hitting his stride. You make this swap and this changes the team dynamic overnight.</div></div>

I have to call a foul here. Tage and Petey are not Mcdavid and draisaitl comparable. Not even close. I'll give you better than a past thier prime crosby malkin but mcdavid and draisaitl are much better. So much better. Not saying anyones not a star but tage struggles to hit a point a game, petterson is not as good as mcdavid.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>How?</div></div>

So cuz i kinda got dragged into this i will say mika's next to a point a game right now. His 2way play has been pretty good but yes all in all he's struggling, but across the board the team is getting the job done. He's part of the team.

Also you can't ignore the past, what has he done lately is a fair thing to ask but to evalute a player soley by thier last 30 games is isn't fair or logical. He's your 1c, undisputed and has been. He's lead the league in face offs at a few times thats a big benifit. You really don't deserve a good team if your going to complain about Zib's. You could be calgary, anahiem, ottowa, and yes you could suck as much as buffalo! Our 1c is probably gonna get 40 goals, probably won't win over 40% face off's. We're not tearing up the standings, is goals the problem?
As to being soft the whole teams took a turn that way, you fired Gallant. Whole darn leagues headed that way. :(

Thread: Sabres Key Decision Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kingcong3930</b></div><div>It's not walking anyone to UFA status except UPL.

All of Ryan Johnson, Krebs, Peterka and Quinn would have 2 years left of RFA eligibility after these deals are up.

They would have $11M to spend on 5 to 6 bottom of the roster players to bring in, with the expected $92M cap limit in 2 seasons, and that's if they don't just go with internal promotions at forward, like Rosen and Savoie.</div></div>

So it's not that they're going to ufa its that your closing the gap from now to then and paying them, not an unfair, full price. As if they were complete and developed. Now 2 years from now they very well be openning the season as solid nhl players but for now these guys all have more to learn and a 50-60pt guy with 7 seasons under his belt @ 27 is worth that or more with intangibles, but 22 year olds with 3 season and they just reached those point totals fir the first time....if you cant get a better than market deal i would feel you gave to trade at least 1 of them to open the roster space for some one whose proven consistently over many season they can play a solid game and put up 50+pts.
Also im coming from a point where the teams not going to magically improve just because its next year. So whose your go to face off guy? Whose shoring up your PK? Who's the captain? At the money your offering it better be mitts and JJ but it isnt yet so its hard to justify.
I should say tho that i think your right, what you have here is what will probably happen.
We'll still be one of the youngest teams, we'll have less leadership and the only real experience on the roster will be that of losing consistently at the nhl level.
Here's to hoping im horribly wrong 🍻

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>You are correct, this is a horrible trade idea for the Rangers and the AV's would be crazy to say no. But what if instead of Mika, the Rangers offered up Chytil for the same package, would you still take it?</div></div>

No. Thats ridiculous. You're not getting the face offs, offensive ability or years of experience on top line minutes with chytil. I'm not sure you get more than the first for chytil while he's on IR he's a bad season away from not earning his contract or a next step away from being a great player, avs could use a solid center but im not sure he's the guy.
Now the sabres, trade you a 1st and prospect easy. Your not getting a 4th overall guy for him but they're more in need of what he brings if we've seen his best.

Thread: Power move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksnOilers</b></div><div>Yeah this trade could turn out to be horrendous real quick for the Sabers, feels like an extreme panic move in hopes to get a WC2 spot

Power is a top pairing d-man, Skinner though overpaid is still a 55-65 point guy with 30 goal upside. He's gonna be that for the next 2-4 years

The package coming back is not very good, Gourde and Larsson are essentially locks to leave after their contracts run up and even if they don't your going to be paying top dollar, long-term contracts to guys on the wrong side of 30. Just not a good situation for the Sabers to be in, Okelsiak is ok I guess? I don't know I don't know much about him but he's probably the worst player in the deal and is worth around a 2nd. That leaves just McCann who is a 55-70 point 2C but not nearly worth enough for Power, the Sabers also already have like 4-5 of those guys in Mittelstadt, Kulich, Peterka, Cozens (who is probably 65-80 point guy) and Savoie.

Bad move for the Sabers imo.</div></div>

I expected more from an oilers fan<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksnOilers</b></div><div>Yeah this trade could turn out to be horrendous real quick for the Sabers, feels like an extreme panic move in hopes to get a WC2 spot

I expected atleast an oilers fan would understand points don't = a good player and that you need more than goals to win games. How'd all those 1st rounders work out for you? I believe you're all to familar with trading top picks for a guy who will just play freakin defense.
Mind explaning which game you were watching were power played like he should be depended on to hold a 1 goal lead...yah know being such a great dman? He's not a top pairing dman. He wouldnt even be in the nhl if it wasnt for his draft status. Very well may be a top pair guy in the future but right now he struggles hard and makes really dumb plays. Until he realizes that potential (which he wont on this garbage sabres team imo ) hes more of a problem then a benefit.
After wasting 3 years developing the youngest team in the league into a "all star" team Kevin Adams is going to have to trade some good peices for basic role players because we don't have anyone close to jared mccan in this system. Maybe peterka or kulich but im sure we'll teach then to avoid finishing checks and coast to the bench on line changes like the rest of the organization.
Your not wrong, this could look bad in a few years but i have to assume the reason kevin adams paid clifton is because a 6th dman is the best he could get to come play with this team.
Like you said everyone of the players im trading for will probably walk...why? Because i trade power or because this organization is a train wreck that destroys talent?

Thread: Islanders
Sabres have no reason not to do it.
Engvals been a + player his whole carrear so maybe give his modest point totals less concern and think about how horrible the sabres are at limiting scoring chances.
Walhstrom im not interested in at all.
Krebs...i love his game but its just not good enough all around and we have a system stacked with forward prospects right now and need veterans if anything. He just doesnt matter
Olofson...please god dont tell me you're hoping we give him a new contract? I have 0 idea why he's even on the roster, i mean he's better than jost i guess. 17 &amp; 71 its like they trolling me 1 scores 1 forechecks niether do both.
I'd love to get in on that pageua action though. A veteran 2way forward that wins face-offs, imagine that. A center that wins more face offs than he loses
