I tried to take a different approach of high dollar amounts for short years. If they could find a way to throw like 8 mill at Tuukka Rask or someone for 1 year (ala Taylor Hall) I would love that (although there is no way Rask would come to buf).
Be a nice stop Gap to give UPL another year in Roch and id still draft another goalie or 2 for the pipeline with there 10 picks in 2021.</div></div>

the u-turn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corsiagainst</b></div><div>All fair points. Vegas took some UFAs so there is precedent for a guy like McCabe being taken. I think they protect 1. Eichel 2. Reinhart 3. olofsson 4. Mitts 5. Skinner 6. Asplund 7. Tage and for D 1. Dahlin 2. Joki 3. Borgen or Risto (I'd protect Borgen to expose Ristos salary) and then for G they're obviously protecting Ullmark. In this scenario McCabe gets scooped up but it could definitely be different idk.
If the team is willing to spend to the cap (which I'm not sure they are) in this scenario they still have $2,250,000 in cap room. So even if you include Grigenson, I wouldn't sign Sheenan leaving them with $800,000 in cap room. So it would take some moves to add another mill for Sam and pay Joki more. Not including there 1st rounder on the roster (which is most likely) gives them another $925,000 in cap room giving them $1,725,000 in room for Sam and Joki.
So it's definitely doable.
People seem to just have this thought that goalies don't matter in todays NHL. I don't buy that at all. having two potential starters can cover up for a lot of defensive deficiencies this team has. Also allows the team to play with more confidence helping elevate everyones game.
Just IMO.</div></div>
Goalies matter but no one wants to pay for them, and I think every big goalie contract in the last 15 years has blown up in the teams face, so that doesnt help. The Sabres though absolutely need 2 solid goalies, I just see Raanta as someone with a high potential of blowing up in their face

You all know I love Betterall. Let's all remember the team he inherited.
No defense, Ristolainen, Bogosian and McCabe were the only NHL quality defensemen and how many games did the last 2 play his first year, 71? Ristolainen was rushed to the NHL the year after he was drafted, played on a very bad team and never learned how to play defense.
No cap space, Bogosian, Moulson, Okposo, nearly $17,000,000 of dead cap, nearly 25% of the cap for 15 goals, and 13 games on defense.
No secondary scoring. After Kane, Eichel, O'Reilly and Reinhart who was there, Pouliot, Pomenville and ???.
A rudderless locker room, how many of you remember Nolan declaring that there was no accountability? Tell me who is responsible to hold the players accountable? The on ice leaders, we all know them, we call them captain.
Other teams cast offs, Lehner-a bipolar alcoholic, Kane-an off ice womanizer, an on ice selfish skater, O'Reilly-"I lost my love of the game" Captain!
I know everyone cries about O'Reilly, but what did he ever do for Buffalo, 81, 78 and 62, the points Buffalo had his 3 years here. BTW, when did STL turn it around, oh yes when Binnington joined the team. The Blues missed the playoffs by one point the previous year and they add Peron, Bozak and O'Reilly but were in last place until Jordan went crazy and won 49 out of 60 pts.
What has Betterall done?
The team now has up to 8 NHL quality defensemen and he added, Pilut, Gilmour, (two free agents) Miller, Montour, Jokiharju, Dahlin, Scandella for a first, second, Nylander and Foligno (and of course the first over all).
Still working on the cap space, but at least Moulson is off of the books.
Vesey, Johansson and Sheary added to the team for a third and a fourth has improved our secondary scoring. BTW Vesey was a great trade, not only will he get his 17 goals this year, but did you notice he also kills penalties?
Based on the performance of the first game it would appear the locker room issues have been resolved with the additions of Johansson and McCabe as the alternate captains.
We can all cry about the O'Reilly trade, but he never lead the Sabres to a winning season, much less the playoffs or Stanley cup. Last year, I noticed a more active Eichel, playing 200 feet of the ice, hmm did his lazy leader leave the team? This year, I saw him fighting for the puck in the defensive zone corners, he never did that 2 year ago.
As for the rebuild taking 2 to 3 years, we wasted 3 years of a rebuild with Murray. He had a great prospect pool, great draft picks and talent to trade from the NHL club. When he left we had one of the worse prospect pools, a last place team and no extra draft picks. BTW the Amerks missed the playoffs every year he was GM. The Amerks have made the play off both year Betterall was GM.
IMO the rebuild started when the Sabres drafted Dahlin, and the locker room problems gone.
There is my tome, let me add, Girgensons and Larsson started in the OZ only 16% of the time last year but managed to have a 50% Corsi, the team has one of the better PK's and if the GK was better, they may have had a top 5 PK. With only 16% OZ starts they still managed 11 goals. If any of you watched last year's playoffs the Jackets used Dubinsky as their face off specialist and he had only 6 goals and his salary is about double of Girgensons and Larsson combined.
So this is the second year of the rebuild, let's see how the season ends.

My hot take on the Sabres and Botterill in description box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corsiagainst</b></div><div>Fair points. I didn't mean to come off too harsh but the reality is in today's NHL teams typically do not go 8 years without making the playoffs at least once. Especially when you include the new lottery draft format. The Sabres haven't even come close to the playoffs and that's the problem.
For example:
2015-2016 Leafs. Finished 30th, won lottery; next year made playoffs.
2016-2017 Devils. Finished 27th, won lottery; next year made playoffs.
2017-2018 Sabres. Finished 31st, won lottery; next year finished 27th
It doesn't take years and years like it used to if you have a competent front office.</div></div>
Don't worry, you didn't come off "harsh"; that's why I included the word "Respectfully." I am enjoying this discussion.
Your points are well taken. But I'd like to point out that after the Maple Leafs drafted Auston Matthews, they landed John Tavares as a free agent, and they also had Morgan Rielly, William Nylander and Mitch Marner from three different draft years, so they haven't been an overnight sensation. And the year after the Devils got to the playoffs, they were so bad that they got back into the lottery and landed Jack Hughes -- and they haven't made the playoffs this year, yet.
You've got a year to clear out the deadwood. Who knows -- with Bogosian, Scandella, Girgensons and probably Ristolainen gone, you might see Botterill make some crazy move like buying up Loui Eriksson's contract in exchange for a lottery pick and then landing someone like David Pastrnak. Stay the course. Would you rather watch the Kings?

My hot take on the Sabres and Botterill in description box
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corsiagainst</b></div><div>I understand that, but there is nothing stopping the Sabres from burying Sobotka/ Girgensons for 1 year in the minors. Sure they won't get much salary relief but the it will allow for younger and potentially better players to replace them. We've seen what these vets have to offer and it continues to drive the sabres overall to the bottom of the standings. Okoposo is tougher since he has a few years left on his deal, but who cares? send him to Roch and let him provide veteran leadership from the minors.
There cap isn't an issue and if these players are negatively impacting the NHL club they should not be here.</div></div>
I agree. Botterill actually chose to sign girgensons, its not like he got stuck with him and now needs to bury him. I would have moved on from him and several other anonymous henchmen just to get different guys in the room. Okposo probably gets buried at some point. I thought his speed was an issue when we got him, hes not getting faster.

Avs fansthoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corsiagainst</b></div><div>I hope so as far as Jost goes. I was a huge fan of his in college and I was kind of shocked that he hasn't produced more. I think the Avs did a good job this off-season acquiring offenses so they can move away from being a one line team.
Regardless as I stated in the description I was just looking to make a Risto trade that wasn't to WPG so keep in mind I was thinking slightly outside the box.</div></div>
It wouldnt shock me if a trade for Risto did happen, like I said his value is in his offense and to have someone who can move the puck on the 3rd pair would be a weapon to have. But its a move that they dont have to make nor one would require Jost to be in a trade. They need Jost more than the need Risto...and Girgensons is probably just a more expensive version of what they have in Kamanev if he can stay healthy for once

Big time pass, Risto is a terrible defender and would be relegated to the 3rd pairing on the right hand side and wont get a lick of pp Time With makar and Girard running the pp units
Once you clip his ice time, probably by at least half if he was on the Avs, which he uses to pad his offensive stats, 1st among all Sabre’s players last year, he will look even worse put on a good team with deeper score taking away his pp time. Cant defend and if he doesnt have the ice time to make up for his lack of defensive ability to produce offense,
Just a really bad fit on the Avs for a flawed player

Probily won't happen. His contract doesn't work for colorado. We got young RHD coming up and only really need someone for this season back there. Odds are he would get picked off in the expansion draft anyways if this were to happen. We will most likely protect Jost since its 7,3,1.

Tuch would be perfect
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corsiagainst</b></div><div>Again, they are both great players. I just would never use +/- in any arguments. In my opinion its an antiquated stat that causes a misunderstanding of a players impact generally.
And honestly you didn't prove me wrong either. If we just base it off of points like you Reinhart would be more valuable:
Samson: 331 GP, 205 points for .62 ppg
Tuch: 158 GP 89 points for .56 ppg
I think this shows that the players are very close but Samson has a slight edge over Tuch. Both players taken in the 2014 draft so to this point, Sam has had a better career.
Also I really want to emphasize I LOVE Tuch's game. He's going to be a phenomenal player for Vegas for years to come.
And if you have any interest in advance stats I encourage you to read this article:
<a href="https://www.diebytheblade.com/2019/2/7/18214602/buffalo-sabres-its-time-to-abandon-the-myth-about-sam-reinhart-jack-eichel" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.diebytheblade.com/2019/2/7/18214602/buffalo-sabres-its-time-to-abandon-the-myth-about-sam-reinhart-jack-eichel</a></div></div>
My major point is that reinhart and tuch are as close as you can get to equals and if you consider Reinhardt better it can’t possibly be by a large margin. So if Vegas were to move tuch who’s on an amazing contract for a player it would need to be a guy of reinhart caliber
