Thread: how i see next year playing out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>Very tactful and skilled D in terms of skating balance/foot work/puck moving. Consistently puts himself in good positions so he doesn't have to over commit. Clever as well. Very efficient style. At worst I'd say he'll be Dan Hamhuis at best Matt Niskanen.

He has a better SKATR chart than Ryan Lindgren fwiw and they factor in all major types of context (better SKATR than half the league too while we're at it)

It's all about nuances with Dermott but they're crucial</div></div>

if all of this is true, why did TOR sign Bogo before figuring out Dermott.
if TOR values Bogo over Dermott, the guy is worth a conditional 6th at best, not a 3rd...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Geogaddi12</b></div><div>I would imagine either Miller or Kravtsov will have a chance to crack the line-up even with the potential bonus issues that they face, but wouldn't be surprised to see both of them in the AHL for a good portion of the year.</div></div>

i think i saw a report that said Kravtsov is staying in Russia for the year - with the success he is having over there, it is the best option.
he will be 2RW in the 21/22 season.

what are some of the reasons Toews gave you, at dinner last night, for not wanting to waive for NY?

Thread: Who says no

you've managed to decimate the Rangers defensive pipeline and the ability to regain it with the 3 first rounders.
this is not a hockey trade, it is a pillage.
Rangers say no...

not to mention, the Rangers cannot afford this.

Thread: Call me crazy but I like this

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Khalenix</b></div><div>1- Vegas offered Fleury to every team and nobody wanted him; (according to Pierre LeBrun)

2- If this is true, Okposo is then worth more than Fleury for some reason (there must be a reason not known to the general public);

3- I love this trade for Buffalo, I think that's EXACTLY what they need. Kinda like the Staal trade : a good respected goaltender with a very good reputation that can bring credibility to an otherwise kinda ridiculous organization. I think that's what the new GM wants to bring - credibility to this team. Stall, Hall, and Fleury would add that IMO.</div></div>

using your logic, if Buffalo offered Okposo to every team in the league, no one would want him either so you are back to square one and MAF is still worth more than Okposo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Just seeing if anyone is paying attention

A 32 year old center does not get that much in today’s NHL. JT is still impressive and a leader, but wouldn’t consider him in the elite category anymore. Any team in the league that would consider giving up that much for him would be foolish.</div></div>

Thread: Blockbuster part 2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mwasylko34</b></div><div>You cannot be comparing Schmidt and Stamkos rn. There is no comparison. Schmidt is a good top 4, Stamkos is an elite player. Tampa is not that dumb to trade him for garbage. They would get a top line player for cheaper no way Stamkos gets less than that</div></div>

honest question, do you understand the situation Tampa is in right now?
if you did, you would realize that them shipping Stamkos out requires them to take minimal cap back so they can sign their RFA's.

Chytil and a 2nd gets it done.

take a deep breathe. it will all be ok...
you just have to come to terms with the fact that Risto's value is small - to both the trade market and Buffalo.
a 4th in next years draft gets it done. anything more than a 4th and Buffalo wins the trade...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>asauer1122</b></div><div>Risto isnt a guy you dump for picks just to get some cap relief</div></div>

oh no, then what is he? Schmidt was just traded for a 3rd 2 drafts from now.
at that rate Risto is worth a 5th maybe, in the 2030 draft.

dump him for whatever you can get and go grab some better goaltending...

no, not to troll but to also give my opinion.
do you think Taylor Hall willingly signed in Buffalo to play on the 2nd line with Staal?
no chance, they guy signed to play with Eichel to boost his value.

you guys finally have some good happening and you want to ruin it by putting your 2nd best player with an aging center who doesn't want to be in Buffalo.

that is a surefire way to make sure Hall makes this a 3/4 of a year stint.
gets dealt at the deadline because he publicly makes it known he wants out of the rats nest.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Sabres making the playoffs is about as optimistic as Tor actually making a run in the playoffs. So here we both are. I would like to know what you think is actually so unrealistic about Buffalo pushing for a playoff spot, which is all I really said. But you will deflect and make some comment about how Buffalo just sucks and accept it. Cool, we get it. Tor is the greatest hockey to ever hockey. Thanks for stopping in yet another Sabres thread to show us all how much you don’t care 👍</div></div>

i didn't say they couldn't push for a playoff spot. all i said is that you were being overly optimistic about this team pushing Toronto.
you talk about them being a 30 win team, what does that even mean, what benchmark is that? Last season every team in the league was a 30 win team with the exception of Detroit and Ottawa and even Ottawa could have got hot in the last month and won 5 of 11. 30 wins means nothing...

i'm not a Maple Leaf fan either. I can't stand them as much as you and the next guy,

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>They’re a lot closer to Tor then people will say.. what’d Tor finish points wise ahead of Buffalo last year? 3/4 with like two weeks left?

i admire your optimistic view.
however, i feel bad about how it will realistically come crashing down around you and you equally optimistic friends.

Hall, 1 singular player, does not make the Sabres a contender. This isn't the NBA.
Buffalo did get better over the past several weeks, but so did many other teams that were already better than them.

Pump the brakes.

Thread: Hmmm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarner_16</b></div><div>Most likely not. I don’t think he gets moved unless someone overpays.</div></div>

ok, fair enough because it is a pretty big overpay. one could argue that Buch could easily replace Nylander's numbers playing on Matthews wing.
My guess, in a hypothetical situation, is that ADA and a conditional 1st or a 2nd would get it done.

in the couple trades we have seen so far, value is far less than what you see on this site.
