Thread: Trying a more aggressive approach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Please work real hard to convince me that 24 yo Fabbro who plays 17:27 min/gm (1:47 min/gm SH 37% of the SH time 5th on NASH) and plays only <strong>26.4% against elite</strong> is worth a second while 23 yo Jokiharju who plays 21:01min/gm, (1:54 min/gm SH 44.5% of the SH time 2nd on BUFF) and plays <strong>37.3% against elite</strong> is considered trash by many Sabre fans.

As a Sabre fan, let's keep the 45th OA and look for a UFA RHD who is BETTER than Henri, not inferior.</div></div>

Fabbro is a more defensive D than Jokiharju. These are different players, Joki likes to move the puck and join the attack. Fabbro might need a change of scenery, with Tolvanen it worked. It's easy to say about UFA, but it's hard to do.

Thread: Watching Vegas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres728924</b></div><div>Don’t get me wrong I love Tuch but one is in the playoffs and one is at Worlds. Maybe let’s not trash talk the team in the playoffs lol. Also Eichel has 13 points in 10 games pretty good for your first playoffs in 8 seasons</div></div>

No trash talk going on here... just making a statement that Im happier with Tuch than I would be with Eichel. Please dont take my comments too seriously or out of proportion 👍🏼

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jet11567</b></div><div>Jack is up 3-2 in the second round against the best player in the world and Alex Tuch is golfing</div></div>

And Im cheering the Knights on all the way, I dont like the Oilers. Alex Tuch is at the Worlds but thats inconsequential. Tuch is a far bettee player for our Sabres team than Eichel ever was, so of course I like Alex more

Thread: Probably a bad idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres728924</b></div><div>I’d imagine if the Pens were to trade him it would take more. Like say Peterka and a 2? More? In my eyes Peterka is a good player just needs to find consistency I feel like playing with Crosby or Malkin he probably finds that. He’s talented but like I said inconsistent. I feel like the trade would have to hurt more than giving up Rosen, a 2, &amp; a 3. (Which is basically nothing in the Pens eyes. Giving up Peterka would suck but Pettersson is very good.</div></div>

Pettersson is always hurt, before this year he had never played more Than 20min a night. Being partnered with Petry actually helped Pettersson. In no way am I giving Rosen and those picks for him. Plus he's a LD and if he stayed there probably is are 3LD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Sabres pass</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres728924</b></div><div>No. Imo Cozens has just scratched the surface of what he’s capable of. Both offensively and defensively. As good as Kaprisov is I’m not giving up Cozens for a winger</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Not really. Zucc is just another winger and while he’s fine and probably a decent value at 4.5, cap isn’t an issue with Buffalo in 23/24 so retention does nothing. Addison is again fine, and probably a target but the pieces given up he’s maybe valued at a 2nd give or take. A lot to give up for Karill and mediocre pieces even if Mitts is viewed in the same light as say Addison</div></div> <strong>Not giving up TWO players who had breakout years and 3 picks among the top 45 in this draft!</strong>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>They would at least have to think about this offer, wouldn’t they?</div></div> Yes for about a nano second.
Mats is curretnly only a shade better than Casey, while adding Kirill's 40 goals would be great he is 26 @ $9,000,000 and Mats is 35 @$6,000,000, while Dylan is 21 @$7,100,000 and Casey is 24 @$2,500,000.
Mats will be long gone while Casey is still putting up points.
Buffalo could use that extra cap space on their middle six forwards or second pairing defensemen.
