Thread: D upgrade to help young Goaltending

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>I’m fine with acquiring Brenden Dillon but you are overpaying for him, and there’s no need for Henrique, especially overpaying to get him. Not sure Dumba is the right partner for Power either. And since I don’t bother with Henrique you don’t need to sign Kampf because you still have Jost, who would be more valuable than Henrique anyway. Unless you’re going to let Okposo go, and replace him with Kampf.</div></div>

Not worried about slightly over paying for the right pieces to build around the core. Dillon is exactly that.

Thread: D upgrade to help young Goaltending

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>A big overpay for the current edition of Dumba. There are good short term UFA Dmen available that would suit the Sabres need. I wouldn't be depending on two young goalies to see me through the season. There are short term UFA goalies that could help immediately, and if Levi takes over as # 1 that's fine too.</div></div>

Dumba was the best D man for the Wild in playoffs so I could not possibly disagree any more. Top 4 RHD that adds physicality and veteran presence.

Yeah, signing a HOF player who still plays at an elite level and won’t affect their cap situation over the next 4 years is a bad idea… you’re right

Thread: Utilizing cap space

Correct. It comes from the NHL, not the team that signs him. I believe the Sabres would get pick 63 because Johnson was the 31st overall pick in his draft year.

The logic is sound but Murphy is not an "excellent partner." And you're not giving up a Top 6 center for that.

Why in the world would Buffalo make that trade?

Thread: Deadline plus next year

Could be right. The trade was more to clear cap space at the margin for TB and acquire draft picks that they are lacking right now.

Players on IR count towards the cap.... it is already accounted for. LTIR however does not.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>The real question is... what do you do when Montour is back? And if Bogo makes an appearance?</div></div>

Waive Nelson or Gilmour (probably Nelson due to abundance of RHD). Also have to keep in mind there will most likely be more injuries by then.

don't think they will risk losing Nelson on waivers assuming Montour only misses a few games

Thread: Cap Teams

All solid points. My response to those:

1. Thought process for Vegas was they badly need RHD and a Risto for Karlsson swap saves them at least $1.5 million on the cap for 3 years (pretty good for high caliber players)
2. With all the vets TB is losing on the back end (Coburn, Straalman, Girardi, Ruuta are all UFA's) the thinking here was just for Tampa to get a top 6 veteran D at a relatively low cost with no future commitment. If it works out, resigning will be a piece of cake. A 6th round pick is nothing to TB... a win-win for both so BUF can go younger (Pilut).
3. Skinner and Stone are not good comparables IMO. Stone is much stronger in the defensive end and is a point-per-game player (Skinner is not). Sure, Skinner may be a better goal scorer, but the $9.5 million cap hit is attested to a better all around player
4. Bad teams need to make changes, that simple. Neal wasn't a fit in Calgary and Okposo hasn't panned out in Buffalo. Cutting ties for players at the same age with the same contract status is worth it IMO. Who knows, Neal could fit in great for Buffalo (sorta like Niederitter did for Carolina vs. his poor production in Minny). Could also potentially say the same for Okposo. That is my thought process.
