Thread: Vrana claim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>He can't stay Healthy, he hasn't played much hockey since 2019. He's a good player with a lot of risk involved. And why should it matter if they have all that Cap Space, smart GM'S look at stuff and see if it's worth it, obviously no one did.</div></div>

I am curious to see what is going to happen with him. even if he is injury prone there was a stat up that he has like top 5 goals per 60 or something like that in last few seasons.
He clearly has skill and risk attached to him, but buffalo is a team that has less risk attached because it doesn't risk any cap issues or losses by bringing him in.
a team like capitals would need to move out a player or 2 in there middle 6 or D core to take on his cap hit witch isnt something sabers would need to do. (huge risk)

Thread: Zaitergeist
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>I'd ask for more than that if they want us to eat that contract. 1 year of Marleau (who was still a good player) cost the Leafs a 1st to move. That 1st turned into Seth Jarvis. Not saying that it costs that kind of player/prospect to move Zaitsev, but he isn't a good player and has 2 years left. Meaning I'd ask for Thomson, not JBD, and perhaps a pick as well. Otherwise, its not worth Buffalo's time</div></div>

Honestly i would actually prefer Bernard-Docker over Thomson. Thomson is supposed to be a more offensive guy witch we don't really need i would prefer the more steady 2 way d man in the bottom 4.
They are both 1st round picks that have had some development already. that fits buffalos time line better in my mind then getting a 1st and using it on a RHD in this draft.

Thread: new 3rd line and D help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>It’s also massively unrealistic
No NHL team is gonna acquire (&amp; PAY) a $6mil guy to sit the bench

And i think the 3rd line is brutal, sorry
But if you’re trying to get us better now, then make some better moves for that 3rd line- bc it’s still pretty rough</div></div>

there is no need to get so defensive, if you want people to agree with explain your reasonings and if its valid people may agree.
why do you think Myers is so bad when he is 2nd highest min/game on Vancouver for D. clearly coach thinks he's capable enough.
what do you expect out of a 3rd line as well.
the one i put together there is hard working fast line. that's all you really need there they aren't supposed to be 50 point guys with 20 goals.
depth is the whole reason buffalo lost to canes in conference finals if your old enough to remember being down 4 of our top 6d in playoffs.
edit( myers aav is 6 but he is getting payed less, so doesn't really hurt team as much finically if that's your concern)

Thread: lols
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Archarte</b></div><div>This completely destroys the positive vibe they have finally built in this team. Giving those kinds of dollars to a few late stage outsiders will destroy all they have done over the past few years. And where are you ion three year? Starting a rebuild all over again.</div></div>

a little dramatic. all of them are good players who were brought in and have repution of winning and being good team guys. the team needs RHD so whats wrong with letang. Malkin is work horse type player and big improvement on eakin. fleury is basically the same situation as anderson but 4 years younger. Its all 1 year contracts that bring team over the cap min. if your concern is that its keeping the young guys down i disagree fundamentally with bringing kids in before they get seasoned in AHL.

edit
i would also love to destroy what they have done this past decade instead. team had 0 good mojo the previous season btw kinda came last in league and had multiple players demand out.

Thread: Solid rebuilding
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>I would understand if it was vegas or your own pick that I was asking for… but this is floridas pick and it’s possible it’s number 32 overall when all is said and done. If we are playing the numbers game the player drafted with that pick isn’t likely to help you for a minimum of 3-4 years if at all. Murphy is a good veteran guy, and an underrated leader. Obviously I’m biased to this trade but I would say the developmental impact of Murphy to play top pair minutes with Dahlin or Power is worth the first round pick alone… I mean look at what Florida paid for Ben Chariot!</div></div>

I don't know why you think buffalo will not be thinking 3- 4 years in the future. the team probably isn't making playoffs next year and will be even longer before they can contend for cup. I get that you would want a 1st for him and chariot is a fair comparison. the biggest difference is cup contenders don't care about picks as much and non contenders.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AdamFox</b></div><div>Johnson is a Meh prospect at best, the other "prospect" will be 25 by next season and a 2nd. Schneider contract won't be up for 3 years. Well have the cap</div></div>

i know you dont follow sabers prospects (few do) but Johnason is basically a devon toews type player and will do well in nhl when ready. I dont like to diss people on here but Schneider is never going to be a top 2 guy. that's fine because rangers don't need it but buffalo really needs that future top 4 guy on right side. that's where i see Schneider at if everything goes right.
I 100% dont see how you think rangers will have cap space at the end of Schneiders contract. On the D side Hájek and miller are off rookie contracts before him. for offence Lafrenière and kaapo are coming up soon too. the rangers will also need to dish out some $ to get in a 2nd line center as copp and strome are both up this year, probable looking around 6m$ for that. Lafreniere is getting either 6m$ + or offer sheeted, 1st overall means you get paid.
