Thread: Next Rebuild Steps

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zavi902</b></div><div>the downside To buffalo trying to sign UFA's is there is no appeal to the team so they would have to basically over pay players and all honestly id rather sign a cheaper deal and be on a contending team rather then be on a bottom team making the most ill get in my career</div></div>
We also do have to worry about the salary floor the next couple years. That’s why signing guys like Braun slightly more expensive to hold the fort and provide leadership I think is a good idea

I don’t hate this idea either, and probably most logical. Just trying out different looks hahaha

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>thewookie1</b></div><div>Buffalo declines trading Mitts and a 1st for Garland; and I like Garland.

Why would we downgrade our skill by trading Olofsson for a 3rd/4th line physical guy?</div></div>

Noted on Garland, I didn’t wanna sell him short to Vancouver. He has good term and cap for what he’ll bring us too.

I don’t think Wood is a downgrade. If anything I think they bring similar skill in different roles which I think Buffalo needs more of what Wood brings. He feels like a Tuch light and we have plenty of smaller skill guys here and coming up

Thread: Address Some Holes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>It is unlikely that Wild will trade Kahkonen.

Strome is completely unsuitable for Buffalo, it's better to just play Krebs in the center.

This is not good deal with Vegas.</div></div>

Wild deal is just me trying to play with other goalie options. But understandable

Strome I think could be a stronger center that’s a couple years ahead of the current core like Tuch is. Young enough to be around for a while and be more steady veteran presence for the next wave coming up. Good as well

Idk what else you get for Olofsson, I just don’t see his high value everyone else seems to see. Getting a vet top-6, solid defensive prospect, and a pick should be more than enough

Joki with Samuelsson for me. He plays better with a more defensive minded partner

Thread: Sabres

The deal with Wild is interesting but idk if they move their captain or if Buffalo moves that many assets for one player.

Other note… please break up that top pairing. It’s disgustingly bad and hopefully with more RHD Granato finally splits them up next year

Not saying he won't or hasn't said it (I haven't heard that) - but I don't think we should assume that about every RFA just because it leaked that Reinhart was planning that</div></div>

I mean for both sides why would they look for more than a year? He’s not going to make more than a QO with terrible leverage as his play has been very down. Plus I don’t think he’s really a player we should look to keep around longer than a year. He’s still relatively new to the league but an older player that isn’t really anything more than a PP specialist. Incredibly poor 5v5 player

I just don’t think you get more for Olofsson before he walks in a year. Get another winger in a similar position, a goalie who has the track record to show this is just a down year, and another solid pick

Mittlestadt had a fantastic end to last season but has been dealing with a nagging injury but I understand your point. At his age I just think he’s got a more realistic upside than a 3C

He has bounced around our lineup, so I believe he could play wing. Even if he is your 3C to start he would be good. Tbh he just needs to let his injury heal, I hope they shut him down for the year. He’s come back too early and aggravated his injury

I’m trying to keep this roster competitive with some good veterans for both development and cap reasons. In that scenario I see peterka as first recall from Roch. Trying to find a defender is pretty difficult but I think from the mixed feelings from fans here it is pretty fair

I kind of disagree with this take. The center spine is pretty good with Cozens, Thompson, Krebs, and Mittlestadt if he isn’t moved. Combine that with a potential Savoie/Cooley in this draft and they’re pretty loaded. Need to look for some high end wingers to help bring this offense along

And for Manson, it was just an idea. They def need another top-4 guy to play with Dahlin and Jokiharju is a terrible partner
