Thread: Panarin feeding Quinn and Severson
Severson is arguably the top defenseman expected in free agency - and his age and handedness will have teams lining up to overpay him. No way he settles for that salary or term.

The banishment of Lyubushkin, who not only has a year remaining on his 2 year term but was extremely popular with his teammates and was a rare physical presence, for a journeyman like Kulikov makes no sense - nor does thinking that Greenway is going to be traded right after Granato demanded his acquisition and without any time to work with him. Maybe he moves on next summer if the experiment fails this season but it will not happen this summer.

The Sabres have plenty of offensively-skilled players - there is absolutely no reason to think they would be interested in Panarin or his bloated contract.

Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>So it's a trade both teams decline. Like 90% of CF proposals. BUF isn't paying to dump their players here though.

FWIW Lankinen looked quite good once he got out of CHI. I was surprised he re-signed with NSH, instead of trying to find a tandem situation where he could play more.

I would argue BUF doesn't have three goalies though. Both Comrie and UPL are AHL goalies. Levi doesn't have enough pro experience yet. Like it or not, this proposal would result in BUF having one NHL goalie, which is more than they currently have.</div></div>

I simply do not agree with your goalie characterization.

Lankinen has a .904 career save percentage

Why should i believe his 19 game stint is for real when i have the rest of his career to compare it to?

again, buffalo moves down, which likely costs more than the mid round draft picks you offered, so we are handing you Olofsson and UPL for lankinen? No thank you.
