Thread: With Quinn out read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>Buffalo doesn't need to do that, they have internal options and now that Bertuzzi is going to FA I would rather spend the money on him then Bunting and Cat</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenW</b></div><div>30 games is almost half the year lol. This is a year they NEED to make the playoffs. Im not saying replace the guy, im saying supplement his production and then use that player to upgrade a lower guy on the roster to improve the squad. Not a horrible idea</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Sens accept

I'd say that kind of return is the best case scenario if the market is hot for a top line scorer</div></div> If were to go this route, Comphere would be my choice.
He can score (17 goals, 52 pts), PK (2:02 min/gm), win FO (813 wins 250 more than Cozens), he will be only 28 for most of the next season, and he may be less expensive about $4,000,000 https://dobberhockey.com/2023/05/27/free-agency-2023-updated-salary-projections-for-the-top-100-free-agents/

He would be a good add on even if we had Quinn for the entire season to help our PK.

Someting to consider, look how well Skinner played defense this past season, could Granato do the same for Olofsson?

Thread: Go with the flow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenW</b></div><div>If you don't understand the economics of draft picks and the value of having tons of prospects in the pool (for signing or using as trade currency) I don't know what to tell you man. The pick can be used as a piece in another trade for all I care, but to call it a trash pick is just moronic. Do you not think GMs value any pick past the 3rd round? lmfao, no wonder your AGMs always look rediculous</div></div> Johnsson actual salary for this year is only $2,500,000 including his signing bonus.
So the difference between Hinostroza and Johnsson salary is only $700,000.
If the trade was made on the TDL the Sabres would be purchasing a 4th and 7th for only $175,000, very inexpensive price for extra darts to throw on draft day.
BTW, the last time I checked Levi (212 overall) and Olofsson (181 overall) were 7th round picks.
Once Shibbal makes up his mind there is no reason to respond again, just move on, you will never convince him regardless of facts.

<a href="/users/Shaners79" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Shaners79</a> Perfect TDL for Buffalo, Andreas is only one year removed from 35 pts and 13 goals in 71 games.
Could be a great addition if the Sabres were to squeek into the playoffs.

Thread: Potential future roster WOW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>It's obvious you don't watch their games, because Elvis has clearly been in bad form. The defense isn't great, also decimated by injuries, but the goaltending has been horrid.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenW</b></div><div>The average shots against each night for Columbus is almost 40 a night man. Playing in front of a depleted BAD defense will always be a recipe for failure. I've watched a handful of games cuz I really like a couple of the guys over there so im not completely in the dark. Tarasov has looked pretty good and he's what, like 22? 23? As far as Elvis, i think hes just lost his confidence tbh. He's played really solid the last 3 seasons, and now the team is horrendous and his numbers are down, thats not coincidence lol</div></div>

It's chicken-or-the-egg. You can't excuse how bad the D has been, but Elvis has also really been trying to do to much to make up for it. The guy built his game in Europe for being ultra aggressive. He tampered those habits down when he got to NA, but with the team struggling, some of those bad habits are starting to show. Korpi has had a few good games, but I don't see him going back to his all-star days. Tarasov has looked good for a kid who wasn't expected to get real NHL time for another year, but he's still a kid who wasn't meant to get real NHL time this year.

Long-term, I'm more occupied with seeing the D develop. Get a good D in front of any goalie and their game will improve. Get Z back, watch guys like Jiricek (who is looking scary in the AHL), CC, Mateychuk develop, and it'll fall into place.

Goalies are voodoo. Bad goalies have great years (Jack Campbell, Matt Murray), great goalies go bad out of nowhere (remember when Helleybuck was apparently done for? Also Murray again). It really is only like, the Vasilevskiy's and Shesterkins of the world who buck the trend in the modern NHL.

Kind of a tangent, but NHL goalies are, IMO, going the way of the NFL running-back.
