Thread:
Are these stats that bad
TOI does not equate to good. Some Sabres fans really don't get this when it comes to Risto. When it's suggested that Risto be traded, the Risto stans come out and are all about "but muh hits" and "but muh minutes". and that stuff just does not matter as much as offense zone possession and shots for and against. Give Risto and McCabes minutes to Dahlin, Montour, Pilut, and Jokiharju and watch this team win a bunch more games. Seriously. Do it. You could replace Risto with Casey Nelson straight up and this team would be worlds better for it.

i think the sabres should do some trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cheesesauce</b></div><div>Overpayment for rent Toffoli and some weird deal with WPG.</div></div>
A pick (not a 1st), a B level prospect, and an expiring contract in Sheary (who has never caught on & helps deal with taking on $) for a top 6 RW which the Sabres desperately need is OK imo. I bet LAK fans might even say that's a bad package and hope to get better elsewhere, idk.
I don't think the WPG is too weird. Everyone's valuation of Risto is all over the place, so I know I'll never make anyone happy, but he's not worth Ehlers so I didn't even try here. Lowry and Perrault really help the bottom six imo.
Depth is better all around.
All in all this AGM is an exercise in futility as the Sabres will never make 4 separate trades this year lol but it does go to show a lot of work needs to be done to this roster still.

I get what you're saying, but I think your valuation of McCabe might be a little off. The 'parts' in your McCabe + parts for Hall idea would be something like Casey Mittelstadt and a 1st. I'd love to nab a Taylor Hall, but really all I need is some defensemen traded and not-Sobotka on the 2nd line right wing. Sabres are alright, just need some tweaks.

2020 season thoughts
I don't think Sabres cap is in such rough of shape that they would need to pay so much to get rid Okposo next year. Probably just keep him for 20-21 then pay Seattle a 2nd or 3rd to take him in the expansion draft. Now if someone else wants him for like a 3rd or 4th before then, then I would say go right on ahead.

Looking more realistically at the roster; I think this is going to be a make or break preseason for Smith. He needs to show he's a full time NHLer. He's going to be the next Bailey/Baptiste if he doesn't.

I don't think it's crazy to believe that Montour as a RD playing LD is better than Scandella playing LD as a LD. At least until Lawrence Pilut is back in the lineup playing 2LD.
I don't think it's as egregious as your all caps would make it seem.

Who says no
I think this is a case where each fan base would probably go to bat for their guy and say their team would say no.
Laine can really fill it up, but is basically a liability everywhere else on the ice. Reinhart, just as OP says, is a more complete player, but he is also getting better every year in the league.
As a Sabres fan, I would hope Buffalo does not make this trade.

Opening Night Roster
People are going to hate that Risto trade, but honestly this is where we are headed like it or not. Sabres have too many players and need to cut weight. The Sabres/Risto relationship seems fractured and pretty sure he wants out and who can blame him. Without dumping a serious number of bodies it's going to be hard for Buffalo to take players back in a Risto trade. Probably best to stop acting like we're going to get an Ehlers or a Horvat or a Rakell back in a trade for Risto.

state of the roster - my opinion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Where is Nylander? Do you think he will make the team? If so where does he fit in and who is scratched?</div></div>
With Nylander (who could very well make the team out of camp, many said he should have at the time last year and even more so after we saw how the season went.):
Skinner - Eichel - Nylander/Sheary
Olofsson - Johansson - Reinhart
Vesey - Mittelstadt - Sheary/Nylander
Smith - Rodrigues - Okposo
Wilson/Girgensons one stays and is scratched, one is waived. Could waive Hunwick and keep both. We could have Larsson, and scratch/waive a different combo of those guys.
I could see Thompson in the same light as Nylander. Replace Nylander with Thompson in the line combos.
There are a lot of young players who deserve a shot. Tage, Asplund, Arttu, Nylander, CJ Smith, Olofsson, Pilut, Borgen. To give those guys shots you have to be willing sit guys like Sheary, Okopso, Girgensons, Scandella, Bogosian. Hopefully we see this with the coaching change.

state of the roster - my opinion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shootica</b></div><div>Well ****ing done. Best Sabres concept I've seen recently by a country mile. Just a couple thoughts...
Larsson isn't mentioned in the entire post - Are you assuming that he's headed back to Sweden as some people have reported? Those reports have been refuted by his agent from what it's worth. If he is back next year, I think he's their best 4C option with Girgs pushed to the LW.
You touched on it briefly, but I definitely like the second line more with Olofsson on the right side. He's a pure shooter and the right wing positions him to be a constant threat of a quick one timer. Johansson, as far as I know, has little history of playing RW and only mentioned ever playing LW or C in his media conference the other day. His game as a playmaker is also probably better suited for his natural side.
Another good option for the first line RW spot is Vesey in my opinion. I haven't seen him play all too much, but from what I've read he's a guy with a nose for the net that likes to hang around the netmouth and clean up the garbage. That could compliment Eichel and Skinner well as neither of them are best suited for that sort of game, and Sheary is a little small for that role. Vesey has enough goalscoring touch to finish the chances that Eichel creates - He'd be a dangerous passing option at all times when the puck is on Jack's stick in the offensive zone.
Again, really well thought out post and I enjoyed reading it!</div></div>
My thought on Larsson, is that he doesn't make it out of arbitration as a Buffalo Sabre. Admittedly I don't know much about salary abritraion hearings in the NHL, but what I gather is that if he is awarded a salary the Sabres don't like, that they can walk away. Or a tleast there is some mechanism where they can part ways. If the number comes in to be resonable and they can get other RFAs they want, like McCabe and Rodrigues in under the cap then I could see him being the 4th line center and the Sabres roll with Girgensons - Larsson - Okposo again. It's definitely not out of the question at all.
It's a weird concept but I think this notion of postion-less hockey is going to start creeping into the NHL. With D-men and Forwards cycling and covering, always moving to set up a great shot. I see that 2nd line as fluid. Reinhart taking D-Zone draws, Johansson taking O-Zone draws. I think its better for players to enter the zone on their natural wing (easier to accept a pass on the forehand). Once in the offensive zone I see Reinhart going to the left side and Olofsson skating towards the right to set up one-timers for either. something like that.
I can see Vesey getting a shot a top RW. I think intially a lot of Sabres fans would groan at the thought but I can see it working. I mean 35 year old Jason Pominville looked great with Jack and Jeff last season, so I'm very open to anything working over there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>When you don’t notice your long term outlook only has 12 players and 11 rfa’s.... we could always pump the price up and put the financial squeeze on buffalo and then go after Dahlin later though.
I don’t see buffalo doing something this dumb though. With the crazy competition in division and the strength of the eastern conference in general is it wise to give up 4 unprotected firsts?</div></div>
I don't see anything like this realistically occurring IRL either, but it is feasible financially. There's more than enough room to sign the RFA's worth retaining and Dahlin in the future. Reinhart and Mountour would get the biggest deals. Outside of that your're looking at bridge deals for Mittelstadt, Olofsson, Thompson, and Pilut. (That's if you even want to keep them). TOR isn't gonna offersheet those guys way above their market value just to retaliate anyway. At least I don't see it.
No one should be worried about losing the 4 first round picks at all. That's the thing with the high priced RFAs. If you gave up 4 firsts for Aho, Marner, Point, etc you should not loose an ounce of sleep. You would be extremely lucky to get even 1 player the caliber of those guys with those 4 picks. Teams like the Penguins haven't made a first round pick in years. They keep trading them away for Rentals and they're doing alright last time I checked.. Why not trade them for a guaranteed elite player entering his prime?
