PRE-DRAFT MOVES
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>As a Sabres fan, I understand your pain all too well. I just wonder if San Jose will even come close to the 13 year playoff drought that we are facing down right now. To put that in perspective, the previous NHL record playoff drought was nine years. We’ve already crushed that. It may be a flippant thought, but I am of the opinion that if any other franchise had a 13 year playoff drought, they might just fold the damn team. Not even relocate because they wouldn’t want to put another city through that.</div></div>
It was just bad contract after bad contract, and it was like obvious stuff too, like DW signs a guy who’s on the wrong side of 30 to an 8x8, how would that ever work out, and it doesn’t. Then Karlsson 11.5x8 just bad move after bad move
I like to think that once some of our guys make the NHL full time we can find our way back into the playoffs.
I feel your pain.

You and I agree on too many subjects my friend.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DragonKnight</b></div><div>Would the Sabres like to return to the days of Darcy Regier? "What not to do as a sports team's General Manager" is what Regier did.</div></div> I do not read the Star so I do not know how much influence the hockey writers have on ownership.
Here in Buffalo our press is terrible.
In 1987 our Anencephalic writers wrote "Buffalo Deserves Better" when management fired Scotty Bowman.
Four years later, he went to Pittsburgh and won the Stanley Cup.
In 1997 the writers thought Ted Nolan was the greatest head coach ever.
Management fired John Muckler because there was a difference of opinion between John and Ted that the writers spent too much ink misinforming the public.
Nolan refused to accept a contract the following year and was released by Darcey Regier.
Muckler went on to be a very successful GM and was fired by the Senators after taking the team to the playoffs.
It is interesting that both John and Scotty remained in Buffalo.
There are many more instances in which the press has influenced ownership as they also influenced Pegula to fire Regier.
I can assure you, if Regier was the GM the Sabres would have been in the playoffs 5 years ago.
Tim Murray set the rebuild back at least 6 years.
Botterill got it on the right track with his drafting and trades (four of the five top defensemen, the top 3 centers, top LW and top GK are all his acquisitions).
Adams sits on his hands, sucks up to Terry and lets Jerry Forton run the drafts, Karmanos act a GM, Crow scout the NHL and Ventura run the analytics.
This should have been the year to make the playoffs, but Adams is too risk adverse to make the needed big move.
Since the start of the season added Erik Robinson for at most a 7th round pick, Buffalo will only give up 7th round pick if he plays more than 45 games (an unlikely event as he would need to play in 27 of the remaining 30 games to achieve that milestone).
Well that is my tome for the week.

Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Admittedly, I like the blue line better with this set up. But trading for Andersson is ridiculous especially if that’s the price. He walks in two years or we are trading him again because he’ll demand the same money Dahlin is getting. Not to mention a basically top 10 1st and Matt Savoie should be more than enough to get that done without including Samuelsson.
I love the Matt Roy signing, that’s a guy I like a lot and I want him here. But instead of selling a farm for another defender who will walk away in no time, try targeting somebody with team control.</div></div>
Agree with ALL of the above
If the Sabres sign Roy, then they’re likely done with moves on defense
They also sign Jokiharju to a 2 or 3 year deal to have depth for injuries- and we’d roughly be all set
We aren’t gonna give up on Samuelsson after a down year
He was too good w Dahlin last year to do that
Samuelsson/R.Johnson - Dahlin
Power - M.Roy
Samuelsson/R.Johnson - Clifton/Jokiharju
That would be 7 guys for next year
And i could potentially be really happy with that defense
*especially if UPL keeps up the good play
We need tweaks, NOT a major overhaul

Maybe the Sabres give Vsevolod Komarov a chance to develop.
Drafted the same year as Jiricek he is tearing it up with first place Drummondville,
He has 24 points in just 16 games.
Their leading scorer Wooworth has 52 pts in 45 games.
Vsevolod is the same size as Jiricek so who knows another Jerry Forton gem in the rough.

What would the cost be
I would trade mittelstadt well before cozens, and it would have to be a trade that makes sense. Personally I think the Sabres need to add a second pair defensive right d with grit, a two way center, and then more two way forwards and physical play throughout the roster. I'm sure our gm doesn't see it that way, and either way, cozens wouldn't be a guy they move.

You all act as Jeff is Jonathan Huberdeau.
Jeff is on pace to 33 goals this year following seasons with 33 and 35 goals.
He may be over paid by a couple of million but he certainly not untradable, nor do I want to trade him.
Many other NHL forwards have 14 goals YTD are paid nearly the same as he some more some less.
<strong>He is a team player:</strong>
Watch how he celebrates a goal, he immidiately shows his appreciation to his line mates unlike nearly every one else who goes for skate raising their arms releshing the crowd adulation.
Last year he was suspended for three game sticking up for Anderson who was slashed by Guentzel after the end of game horn blew.
When was the last time you saw a Sabre taking umbridge after a Goalie is slashed?
As for his <strong>defense</strong>, his line mates, Tuch and Thompson, are worse which makes him look bad.
If you thought it was a poor decision to sign Jeff after a career year, this post does the same with Dickinson who after only 35 games is already enjoying his best season ever by a wide margin.
That offer will not get Strome and why do the Sabres need him with Tage, Dylan and Casey?
Knock out their salaries add an extra $4,000,000 to the ceiling and there is no reason to use assets to move Jeff.
Let me add, why do you all want to trade 13% of the Sabre goals with assets.

Casey is better than Newhook who returned the 31st and 37th OA.
Because he is a center and plays a 200 foot game, he has a value close to Brandon Hagel who returned Raddysh. 2023 19th OA, and a 2024 first round picks.
So you all may not like it, but the value for Casey is two first round picks and a roster player.
That sounds like Braden Schneider needs to be in the deal to me.
All of this is moot as Casey is an RFA and will be signed or traded for a young RHD (i.e. Schneider)

Sabres aren’t looking to trade Mitts, so to make it happen (in real life), i think it’s safe to assume we’d want something u don’t wanna give up (think Schneider)
It would probably be a hard deal to pull off though,
bc i doubt we’d be interested in “futures”
We’d want player(s) that help us win now, & are young enough to fit into our core- which obviously u guys wouldn’t wanna give up
Probably more likely u look at a “rental” type player u can get for draft picks
