<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>It's far more likely to be Appert than Lindy imo</div></div>
Listening to Adams' press conference yesterday afternoon I don't think they go Appert or anyone that hasn't coached in the NHL. All the buzz right after from the local guys made it seem like Appert for sure, but if Adams is putting his money where his mouth is, it will be a former/current NHL guy.

Sadly, I could see it. It is a textbook Pegula move. One of my coworkers just mentioned Peca as an option. It would check several boxes except experience and urgency.

Very good point. Ruff and Brind'Amour would be bigger moves (although I don't think Ruff would cost much), but I am going to set myself up for Appert or Ellis.

Bitter-sweet. They plateaued, but you're spot on that he developed a lot of the players they needed developed.
I think Ruff will get all of the buzz from the fanbase and if Carolina doesn't do well, I can see people connecting Brind'Amour with Adams, but they need something different.

Agreed. Adams is very calculated and cautious. The only way I can see him make a big, aggressive move is if he feels his back is against the wall, which I hope it is.

They're both superstars in my eyes, and I would love to have a Tkachuk because they are just relentless. Brady could very well take a leap like Matthew. I just think that they desperately need a certain type of player and if you can get that type of player (gritty, hits, nasty) AND they can score 30+ goals and 30+ assists ... I would clearly pay a hefty price for that.

We have guys that can be 100-point players, but we don't have anyone with Brady's skillset. It is definitely a ton to give up, but Brady still scores 30+ a year and is a big, mean, nasty power forward that we just don't have. He is what this team needs and I would be willing to overpay to get some of that in here (obviously).

Both are excellent points. I just envision Borgen with a left-handed stick, holding it upside down while people fly by him and Granato yells at him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Nice job Mac
These are actually REASONABLE MOVES the Sabres could & should make
Gonna have to give up more for Sturm, as there’s no reason for SJ to move him or give him away- maybe a 2nd does the trick?
Or maybe they’d take a lower pick if they like one of our prospects like Kisakov, etc etc?
No way to know- just guessing there - but I’m sure we could figure out the right value
DeMelo also makes a lot of sense for us
Maybe we gotta pay him a bit more to get him to come here though?
But I’d be alright with doing that- he’s EXACTLY what we need
Reimer also make perfect sense as a Vet backup
Nice job dude
Better than 99% of the other Sabres ACGMs on here,
which are generally just unrealistic or excuses for fans to just whine & complain</div></div>
Thank you very much! It isn't sexy, but I feel like they will address things with some more proven veterans. Anytime I do an ACGM with a ton of trades or acquiring a big-named player like Pettersson or Tkachuk, I know it is extremely unrealistic, but I like to dream.
I agree with the Sturm part - I wasn't sure his evaluation, but I would be fine giving up a 2nd. Get someone that continues to help your bottom six, but provides upside.
I read some of your comments below and I am with you on the back and forth with Roy and DeMelo. I don't think you can go wrong either way, and I think it is about finding a long-term partner for Power to help him really step into the player he is supposed to be. I would be okay with moving Samuelsson as well. I think Johnson will be a very good bottom-pairing defensemen for his career with potential to play in the top four, but I really think Novikov is going to be something. He would have gone higher in his draft year if there weren't questions about him being able to come here. Scott Wheeler ranked him as the Sabres 7th best prospect, ahead of guys like Johnson, Strbak, and McCarthy, which is amazing. I think he will be the ying to Johnson's yang on the bottom pairing, despite both being LHD.

Fair points. I agree that we will, especially with a lot of their key pieces locked up. I just think about a spot being used up by Skinner in three years where Kulich/Ostlund/Rosen/Savoie/Wahlberg could use one of those spots. Granted, I'm sure we will just have a logjam for many years to come and have the same roster by then.

Understandable, but it is for one year and then you free up another $6 million for the following two years. While I like Skinner and think his game will age well, they are going to run into his contract/position in the lineup becoming an issue at some point.

One would hope the pressure from the fanbase after this season, another letdown (somehow), would push them to be more engaged with improving the roster. I don't expect anything much different than this team, but I will continue to hope (and be disappointed).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mart</b></div><div>How much for Krebs?</div></div>
They probably believe in him, but I would probably take a 2nd. He has offensive upside, but he isn't going to play center over Thompson, Cozens, or Mittelstadt and he is worse on the wing.
Ideally a hockey trade for a RHD or bigger winger would be the solution.
