Thread: Llster's 2018 Sabres
Wagsnags. Thank you so much for your comments. I appreciate your time and criticism. I took some points into consideration and made some adjustments. I also disagree with a couple of points.
Point 1. Pominville must go and if we can unload him for a loss of a draft pick (from 7th to 6th) I am perfectly ok with that. Anything better is gravy. I picked Pominville to go to Vegas because I thought he'd relish in going to a team that is having success and has the cap space. And so I agree that it might not be the best choice for him and his family (and hence NMC), if we can get any team to take him and his monstrous salary as well as his unproductiveness, I feel that this is closer to the base case than anything else. Point 3. I also have this as a base case. I feel no one would give us more than a 3rd for him, and I would be ok with giving him up for anything 3rd pick or worse. I thought a 4th was fair. Unfortunately, his track record is a disaster for us, and this might be letting another Armia go, but I am ok with this. We are also loaded on the LHD side.This team has to make some sacrifices and I thought it was also fair that he was my biggest one. Point 4. I removed Perron as I thought it might be a bad signing and anything more than what I offered would be a bad deal. I added Brady Tkachuk instead, as I think he is the worst we'll get (how awesome is that?!) with the draft lottery. Point 5. I beleive in ROR, Reinhart, and Okposo, and so I am going to have Casey M. hop over to the wing (like Reino) unless he can out prove ROR and to which I would just reverse these two in their positions. I believe that winning would come easier and be that much sweeter if you overcame and triumphed, rather than changing the 'core' and so I am of the belief that ROR is out number 2, and should be for the next 5 years. I then signed Dennis Wideman with some of the cap space (we need another decent RHD) and I feel this is a decent upgraded roster. I am not a big fan, personally, of throwing out massive creative trades, although I know its so fun to speculate) and I just don't think it's that productive so I tend to stay away from that. I hope this makes this a little more appealing. And thanks again for your comments. J
