Thread: Debrincat

When Sabres fans are telling you it's an underpayment, you know you've screwed up.

Thread: Use Cap Space

Habs have no need for oloffson, on the wings we have caufield, toffoli, Anderson, drouin, Hoffman, Gallagher, armia, lehkonen. Unless he trade 2 wingers at the deadline Habs reject.
We are really cheaply stocked on RD just like the sabres so we rather keep Savard or trade him for futures.
BTW Byron is coming back next week he's not going to be injured next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabresparaavida</b></div><div>I think I’d prefer Nemec. Jiriceck definitely has more offensive upside, but with Dahlin and Power in the system already, I’d prefer the player with the better chance to dominate in his own end, and I think Nemec fits that bill, while also bringing some offensive upside.</div></div>

I haven’t seen too much on any of these guys
Just started looking into it really

It would be great to get a “shut down” guy or 2
Either to pair with Dahlin & Power for balance, or to even play together as a lock down pair & let Dahlin & Power focus on the offense

Thread: Keep Adding

This is all a little weird. We haven't even seen Peterka yet, and you are already trading for Kapanen. If we were trading in one of our young centers, it would have to be no more than 25 years old for RD. Logan Cooley seems like a good choice, but I still like Nemec, Lambert and Yurov. Wright and Savoie too, of course.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>silentfox1</b></div><div>How does Samuelsson look?</div></div>
He looks like he could be a defenseman that’s very good in his own end, with the ability to put up some points. If he stays on the left, he likely ends up 3rd pair for the Sabres with a lot of PK minutes. He looks like he could be a solid 2nd pair guy, but long term he would likely have to play on his off hand if he ends up there for the Sabres, unless one of Dahlin or Power switch over.

Kapanen for Miidle is probably a deal. At the max in my opinion.

Thread: Aggressive Offseason

Nice thought on the MInni trade. Minni needs cap and centre, Sabres take on cap. Seattle has too much invested their two goalies....like that thought too.

I'm not. It's speculation based on reports and the imagination of a fan. Nothing to be pressed about. My main point was that Fiala unlikely stays in Buffalo long-term if traded there. I'm sure you agree with me there.

Mitts looked like a completely different player once Granato took over the team last year. It wouldn't be a bad gamble for MN. It'll be a high 2nd rounder and low cost center with good upside coming back.

I'm just not sure that Deangelo is the right thing.

I would be looking for one of them:

Murphy
Severson
Roy
Manson
Mayfield

Dahlin - Jokiharju
Power - Murphy/Severson/Roy/Manson/Mayfield
Samuelsson - Pysyk/Bryson

But you have an idea that Dahlin will go to the right side, I don't know if Granato will do that, but it is quite possible.

Trade makes sense. You then move Trocheck at the deadline for a 1st plus. Nice work.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeyscav</b></div><div>Ducks really make no sense to me either as they really aren’t anywhere near and Eichel away, but they seem to be one of the more consistent destinations</div></div>

Think it's more of a convenience thing for the media. They have space, they have picks, they have prospects, but there's very little logic in selling the farm at this point of the rebuild.

It'd be like if, in another universe, you guys didn't have Eichel, then traded the farm for him. It wouldn't make sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeyscav</b></div><div>When I see fellow fans overvaluing risto it’s annoying lol. We all have watched him to know he isn’t very good. We’d be lucky to get an offer like this imo

Would he even fit into the PP2 here? He’s actually a pretty good PPQB if you could believe it</div></div>

I mean look, all fans of their own teams overvalue something, but we have been getting some whacky trades for Risto lol, so I appreciate you haha

I'm sure he'd get his shot. Our 2nd PP unit changed pretty often, so depending on if Marino finds his offense again or not probably makes a difference.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Yea, the 2022 pick was the part I wasn't sure about, I think like it's a good trade if that pick is around 10-5 but anything top 5 and ANA potentially loses the trade. Shane Wright is probably going to be Eichel level we will see but that's what he projects or a bit better. ANA could use a superstar like Eichel.</div></div>

Yeah but Eichel will cost a lot and ANA wouldn’t get him without Zegras going the other way but I just don’t see the fit in ANA, if we add Eichel realistically how are we any different than you guys this year outside of Gibson, ANA isn’t one player away and selling the farm for Eichel sets them back more than it pushes them forward imo.

ANA loses any Eichel trade imo they aren’t in a position to pay what it would cost to get him. They wouldn’t be good enough with him to justify selling the future for

Well, this allows them to keep the younger goalie and take a flier on ristolainen as their d core is quite old and half of them are UFAs. If they don't keep risto then flip him for those picks at the deadline

Kuemper is there to form a tandem with ullmark as look at our splits with and without ullmark this year

Thread: Please Do Something

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeyscav</b></div><div>Consensus is I didn’t give us enough coming back. What is the true assessment of Koskinen from a fan?

Ullmark is very good but has never been able to stay healthy. Every season, he is out at least a month for a non-contact lower body injury. Buyer beware</div></div>

From an Oilers perspective, Koskinen is a good 1B goalie. When he plays too much/has the weight of being a starter, he falters. His problem is his contract... if he was at $2.5 instead of $4.5, Oilers fans would be fine with him. Serviceable NHL goalie if you run him in tandem with another NHL goalie. With Smith's age, he likely only has one season left in the league (and I think he'll play it in Edmonton). Koskinen has 1 year left on his deal. I wouldn't be opposed to extending Koskinen if the number was right to allow us to sign another tandem goalie.
