Thread: Opening Night Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>It’s possible
Philly has come out &amp; said they don’t wanna trade the 1st
So maybe meet them halfway, so to speak
Demand the 1st from them, but send them back their 2nd that we currently have

Sabres get:
JVR, Philly ‘23 1st

Philly gets:
Philly ‘23 2nd (back), Cap space


Deal should work for both sides
Especially since we can hold half of JVRs salary &amp; get a pick for him at the deadline</div></div>


maybe even put a condition on for just a pick swap in the first round if philly picks higher or it defaults to two 2s or something like that. there's a creative solution to be had. then, we can trade JVR with even more reduced salary to the coyotes so they hit the floor and don't have to spend as much actual money. that way, he doesn't take a spot from a young player.

Thread: Looks like we are set
i agree. we're at the floor and if pilut comes back, he and fitzgerald round out the 7/8 D spots. however, girgensons is an asset and needs to play to be showcased. he's the kind of guy that tampa usually trades for. someone will give us a significant asset (5th or better) for him as long as he stays healthy. and he's a guy who could potentially return to buffalo in the offseason to be a bottom 6 guy. i also have a hard time believing peterka won't stick on the roster. i think he needs to play with cozens as they're both going to be elite rush scorers with speed. i suggest mittelstadt with them as a savvy trailer and zone operator with an underrated shot. i like the VO/Krebs/Quinn combo and power with lyubushkin. i'd keep dahlin and samuelsson together and bryson with jokiharju is a legit 3rd pair. samuelsson and lyubushkin can be PK1 pair, which i believe needs to improve greatly for us to be in playoff contention.
