Thread: its cold outside
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>Are you a Sabres fan?
Bc these trades are all pretty rough for us:
-Overpaying for Murphy
-idk why we’d want LaBanc, so a 2nd for him seems like a bad idea
-and you’re just giving away Mitts &amp; Olofsson- brutal</div></div>

Murphy is a big defensive defenseman with good underlying numbers on a bad team signed for another 3 years, hes a top 4 guy who can play with Power. What exactly about that trade do you hate? We have so many wingers, so dealing kisakov is a luxury, and the 2nd round pick we have 3. Can't sign everyone.

Labanc is good 5v5 and a vet who will fill in 3rd line. 2nd round pick might be rich, maybe a 3rd would be better.

Olofsson is a $4m PP specialist who is demoted to the 2nd PP and offers very little 5v5. He won't fetch anything more than that.

Mitts is similar.

Thread: 23-24 sabes
I know no one reads the description on top, but basically the players in the trades are interchangeable. The idea here is I think the Sabres need to start weaponizing their cap, draft capital and prospect pool. As a fan, it's a longer wait for these prospects than we need. Krug - whatever, my point there is we should trade for a veteran defensemen. Petterson is awesome and I'd throw in Kulich or Ostlund to get that done as well, but the bigger idea here is we should try to get some one like him on a team that might be considering a rebuild.

Eichel went for 3 first round pick equivalents and a 2nd rounder, and he had term left. He had the neck thing, so maybe Petterson gets a similar type deal, and we throw in a 2nd? Olofsson is a 25 goal scorer. Vancouver would get a top 10 pick in 2023, jack quinn, oloffson, and another pick or prospect. I dont think the Sabres would need to add "quite a bit more" - this is all under the premise that Vancouver continues to struggle this year, begins to sell off assets, and gets a top 3 pick and can take one of the stud C's in the draft (bedard, fantilli, or carlsson)

Thread: Sabres - blasphemy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>This argument is pretty invalid. We saw what a difference Anderson made. The Sabres are ready to compete now as well. And the year after next season, they bring up Levi under Hellebuyck for a season, the timing works out great. Buffalo is giving up pieces of its young core, and goalies do not carry the same value as an equally talent forward or dman</div></div>

They are not ready to compete yet. They have had a good month and are still 23 points back of the last wild card spot! As fans we need to not get our hopes up and I hope management doesn't try something like this to rush them forward like Murray did. They look so much better but lets not kid ourselves, we might be competing to be "in the hunt" for the last wild card spot around this time next year and that'd be substantial growth.
