Kuemper
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Vegas replaced Lehner with Fluery bc Fluery was bad, look at his stats last year and look at how much drama it caused
Grubauer is playing well, so that just proves the point of why you dont do it. It creates nonsense and story lines the team has to deal with</div></div>
Kuemper is still a major upgrade over Grubauer

Kuemper
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>if any team should be advocate for Kuemper its your the sabres. Unless they are swapping Grubi for him straight up it makes 0 sense bc why would you block a guy from playing when they have to make a decision if they are signing him to an extension or not.
You dont do this move if you are planning on keeping Grubi or considering it. Its a mess of an idea and why teams never do that move in season especially cup teams.
You should know, last time that happened was Miller to the Blues and they made him the starter and that blew up in their face</div></div>
1- I’d love Kuemper, but this isn’t a Kuemper to Buffalo post
2- the reason u keep Grubauer too, is just in case it doesn’t work
3- Vegas just essentially did this last year by trading for Lehner while still having Fleury
Goaltending is pretty damn important
If u get a chance to go from an average-ish goalie like Grubauer, to a legit top10 goalie like Kuemper.....
then u guys should absolutely do that imo
Kuemper is really, really good
And would be even better with a good team in front of him instead of a crap one

Kuemper
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>also the awful message it sends to the rest of the team...2 goalies that have not at all played poorly, one in a well liked starter in grubeaur demoted to back up and a very well liked back up in Frankie sent on the waiver wire to be on the taxi squad
Optics matter and this is the kind of stuff that bothers a locker room, big goalie trades for starters never happen in season for a cup team, its a different story if they are playing poorly, but they aren't. Until then its just asking to be a powder keg</div></div>
I don’t buy that line of reasoning
Kuemper is the level of guy that ANYONE who cares about winning will welcome with open arms
The only way it splits the locker room is if Kuemper comes in & starts playing like crap
But that’s the chance u take any time u try to upgrade a position

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>No they do not have to and you don’t know what his issue is so let’s not jump to conclusions
also that is a pretty over reaction over payment trade as well. Dont panic and burn assets at game 3 of the season on a back up who hasn't had to even play yet</div></div>
Grubauer is a decent goalie, good even
But Kuemper could be the missing piece to a Cup win for u guys
He’s pretty great on a crappy team
Imagine him with your lineup in front of him!

The Skinner deal is an overpay for sure,
but i don’t think it’s remotely close to as bad as you’re making it out to be
If u play him with good players, he scores
If u play him with scrubs, he doesn’t

Fair enough
But it has been reported (by Dreger) that we did call on Dubois & Barkov though
So i guess we’ll see if anything comes of it
I think our top need is a goalie upgrade though

I’m not gonna take 1 game in the top6 as him staying there moving forward though
I’m baffled we aren’t playing Skinner up there where he belongs
But if we are trying to spread out the scoring,
then Skinner with Cozens on line3 could give us some nice mismatches

Don’t think the Sabres would want your average (at best) goalie with a bad contract

If u made Nurse part of the deal.... then maybe?
Maybe Chicago would take him if they start selling guys off?

As a Sabres fan, it just doesn’t work for me
Cozens already is looking good for us
And Dubois (to this point” is a “good” 60point player
Cozens might top that as soon as he’s getting top6 icetime
for us
So I’m not giving up Jokiharju (who i also really like) as well

I’m a Sabres fan, but that’s just not enough to get Barkov
Need at least another high end piece besides the 1st
Risto is a good top4 defenseman, but that just doesn’t compare to a true 1C
And the other pieces are all secondary without much value
This just isn’t close
And would easily get beat by another team asking about Barkov

No one is taking Fleury off your hands
He’s 36, been declining, and has a terrible contract
As much as i dislike Hutton,
i want no part at all of Fleury either

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Barkov is 1 season removed from 95 points and is an elite 2-way center, he is right up there with Eichel and Matthews</div></div>
And last year he took a step back offensively
Plus he’s a UFA soon
He’s a step below Jack (not a big one, but still)
And his lack of contract greatly affects his trade value
But he’ll still cost a lot to acquire

Trade Deadline
The trade with the Sabres just doesn’t work
You’re expecting too much back for Johnny,
and the Sabres are the wrong team to trade with
Johnny G does NOT make the Sabres a “contender”
Selling off (really good) futures for him just doesn’t make
sense for our timeline
You’ve gotta consider BOTH teams when making a trade

Easy pass from Buffalo
