Thread: Lots of young guys
This team has a real chance to be a cup winner if all these players develop. Extending the Krebs deal to three years instead of two might be a good idea, as he'll become an arbitration-eligible RFA after two and three years, potentially allowing you to keep him at a cheaper rate with the extra year.

I also believe that OP will likely demand more money even on a bridge deal because it's common knowledge that the salary cap is set to increase significantly over the next couple of years, thanks to the escrow debt that players owe the owners finally being paid off.

Lastly, as the biggest UPL truther, I think I'm finally ready to move on if he doesn't prove himself this year, especially for two years. I'm love the Mittelstadt deal because I believe he's finally turning a corner.

Being a fan of this team is going to be so much fun soon, maybe even as soon as this year.

I will let granato decide how to make up the forward lines, and your guess is as good as any.
Buffalo finally balanced their LHD with RHD as a result the Sabres may try to pair RHD with LHD.
With that in mind, Clifton turned down at least 10 other teams and one with higher AVV and longer term.
He also filled in for McAvoy and played top pairing with Lindholm for the first couple of months of the season.
Reading between the lines, the defense easily could be:
26-Clifton as mentioned above solid defenseman had only 4 fewer hits than Dahlin and Samuelson combined.
25-6 Johnson could be the vet mentor for Dylan
23-10

BTW my guess is they are done for now, maybe at the TDL they will be sellers.</div></div>

Do you mean buyers at the deadline? I think they have a reasonable shot of making the playoffs.

Thread: EK65 Three Team Trade SEA SJS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>It's not even a remotely close comparison. This package is useless trash for Grier. He might as well not make this trade. It's not worth the retained salary. I say that as a PIT fan. Tuch is a useful player that was worth at least a 3rd round pick. More now. Carter is a liability that should be LTIRetired. He would require a pick to trade. Krebs is 1st round high ceiling player. Poulin is a low ceiling player that has floundered in the AHL. Nylander is a 4th liner/AHLer tweener. Rutta is a serviceable bottom pairing dman. Might be worth a mid round pick.</div></div>

Why is it an unreasonable comparison? I wasn't saying anything about the players that were getting traded but I think everyone is overvaluing Karlsson in the current market. SJ is not going to get a lot for a defenseman who 1) not that good at defense, 2) has an albatross of a contract when the cap is stagnant, 3) is 33 years old, and 4) has a full NMC. Realistically SJ is going to get less than what Buffalo got for Eichel and it will fall around something like:

NHL roster player, A B tier prospect, First round pick -&gt; Karlsson (20-40% retention), Later round pick
or
Combination of prospects and higher round picks -&gt; Karlsson (20-40% retention), Later round pick
