Thread: Manifesting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>homiedaclown</b></div><div>You’ve already been told that it’s very unlikely the Sabres trade for Hellebuyck, bc we are unlikely to agree to an extension with him- he’ll want long term &amp; we probably wouldn’t wanna go more than 3 or 4 years

Also, Krebs is basically untouchable
Stop trying to trade for him
He was a “must have” part of the Eichel trade
And he centers our Captain (Okposo) and Associate Captain (Girgensons) on a line that gets the toughest defensive assignments on a nightly basis
We are very unlikely to move him


I’d love for us to get Hellebuyck,
but i just don’t see the extension working out
And even if it did, you’ve gotta take out Krebs &amp; put in a different young talent- possibly someone like Rosen or Ostlund</div></div>

Haha!!! I’ve been told! Pound sand bruh!

Thread: This is the Way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I look at JFresh’s defensive stats and they say he’s worse than Bertuzzi from what I recall. I like him. I just don’t believe he signs a long term contract in Winnipeg and we have the cap position to get him for free next year.

Centers will want to come to Boston if next year is Bergeron’s last. Granted I acknowledge that FA often means overpaying cap wise.

That said, Swayman, IMO has the potential to be a premium goaltender and Winnipeg knows the value of that.</div></div>

For sure, he has been somewhat of a liability defensively these past couple of years. He is in a contract year so should give it everything he's got! No guarantee he or any other 1C comes to Boston as there will be plenty other suitors and the Bruins are notoriously stingy. See PLD to LA and not Montreal for the "we'll just sign him as a UFA"
Swayman looks like a good bet for sure. You have to give up something to get something. I believe the package i presented is reasonable and helps both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>homiedaclown</b></div><div>1- it’s the “Krebs” part that’s too much, not the Rosen part
Krebs was a “must have” piece in the Eichel trade, so it would be very surprising to see us give him up

2- as for why we wouldn’t trade for Hellebuyck…
Bc he’ll likely want a 7 year extension, and at his age i think the Sabres would not wanna do that at all. I don’t think they’d be able to come to an agreement with him


Personally, I’d love Hellebuyck if he’d sign a 3year extension
And i think the Sabres would too
But i just don’t think it’s realistic</div></div>

Ya, Krebs is a ball player for sure!
Return aside, Hellebuyck on a 6 yr deal even (I don’t see anyone other than Win give him more than 6) would give the Sabres a nice window with Power on an ELC and some studs coming up. Would be a heckuva mentor for Levis. Kind of a Pekka Rinne / Jusse Soros tandem. Sabres should take a home run swing. Krebs is good but he’s just a middle six player at best. Vezina calibre goalies who are one of the best of their generation are not as common.
