Thread: where do we go from here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>Stastny is definitely overpaid in this scenario, but for sure I think Bergefail will pursue him and this is how much I think it would take to convince him to sign in MTL. and Congrats on WSH! I personally don't see ROR as a #1 C, imo he's the best #2 C in the game. So anything more than this and it'll border on a ridiculous overpayment. and like I said the 2019 1st is unprotected, and with the direction MTL seems to be heading, that could be a huge return for BUF.</div></div>

Thx, been waiting for so long!!
IMO, people just undervalue ROR too often. That value is quite fair yes, but doesn't make really sense for Buffalo. They would be left with a gaping hole in the middle without any other decent centers other than Eichel.

Thread: Reinhart to Philly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>those 2 are throw ins I’m going after the pick and prospect. I don’t want the Sabres to go after FAs, theyre just setting themselves up for disaster. Reinhart is the least impactful of the 3 players rumored about</div></div>

For throw ins, you're taking on alot...... and getting back Lindblom and a 1st for Reinhart may be selling him short. Guy is still young and getting better. He's a 50 pt guy now, what's to say he isn't a 60-70 pt guy in the future? Lindblom has done nothing yet although its still early and the 1st may end up being another Girgensons. Then....you essentially traded a 50+ Reinhart for.....Lindblom.

That's why I'm saying this trade is for nothing. You aren't addressing any real needs on the team. Your just swinging for the fences hoping for a home run.

Just because those 3 guys are in rumours doesn't mean you <em>have</em> to trade them.

Thread: BUF blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Would be Saad and the #8th pick for Risto and #27th, Murphy, Duclair and 3rd rounder. I hear you, but Saad is only 25 years old and if you look at his stats beyond points CORSI was in the top 10. He had a down year but will bounce back. Duclair has huge upside, he will be a 40-50 point player, just needs the right system with room to play. Hawks don't have the room for him and were bouncing between him and Hino...Hino won out being a Chicago native and more aggressive but Duclair is faster, has better hands and a better shot. As a Hawks fan, I hate to let him go as he is going to blossom into a solid 2LW/3LW player.</div></div>

I have 0 faith in Duclair, outside of that one season I havent liked anything about his game. I think Saad wouldnt fit in Botterill's build.
