Thread: Nylander year 2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Would really depend how he plays this year. If he is around a 0.910 or better, I can see him being worth something for sure. I chose Buffalo here is a potential option as they don't have a legit goalie YET. They would have Comrie next year still. I assume Luukonen will still be around and possibly Devon Levi (who I am very excited about). This would just give another option if no one shows they are capable this year. Arizona could be another team.</div></div>

Hopefully Levi is the guy, upl is pretty inconsistent, and we have the kid from Michigan, portello, who probably walks away from us next summer. Plus we just drafted a guy that was supposed to be the top rated goalie in the draft. Young goalies are straight voodoo. This is just my idea of the goalie market- almost no goalie gets a first, so you end up with decent veteran goalies that return a second. Vladars resume seems light for a pick that is likely around pick 40 (give or take).

Sure the Dallas trade is fine.

The Sabres have drafted two left shot d, first overall in the last 4 years. Plus Samuelsson looks very nice too. I think the Sabres would have no interest in this trade, and arizona will get a much better offer from somebody else.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AceCane</b></div><div>I just think Keller is a steal for his price and age for any team that could pull a trade off for him and the fact that he can be a 65+point player on any team he’s on.

I'd pass on Keller. We are good on the wing, especially if we make the op trade. We need a #1 center and probably a right d. That 23 first likely fills one of those needs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Buffalo, Benn is washed and they dont need more 1sts</div></div>

Pegula passes. 4.75 for the next 3 years isn't awful. Adams won't wanna block the kids, we already have too many Wingers, and we have Rosen from last year, plus 3 centers from this draft- all waiting for a spot. If last year is any indication, 18 goals and 45 points is fine, but it's still only one later first for a declining vet winger that's gonna block half a dozen kids, several of whom were first round picks. I doubt he'd waive anyway, but buffalo isn't a place to dump wingers or left d.

Thread: Trading McMichael

Sabres pass. The Sabres have several young centers in the pipeline- cozens, savoie, Thompson, Krebs, kulich, ostlund, and mittelstadt. They might be missing that top end 1c that they almost certainly will need, but unless McMichael is that guy, I am sure they would rather have peterka.

Thread: Contending

Too much to Dallas. LA says no, too much uncertainty just to get Johnson and portillos names on a contract, that's without considering value. I think lybushkin goes for far more at the deadline, physical right d are just worth more.

Right? Why suddenly are we over a barrel here. Theres a good young player and a contract dispute, our gm called. As we are one of a few teams with cap space and good young players to trade, it's reasonable, he's doing his job. How did we get to these arm and a leg asks? Wingers don't get the same return as high end centers and high end d.

Thread: Massive Moves

If I was gonna mortgage the farm, I would do it for a #1 center. We have wingers and left d, how much better off are we if we upgrade our deepest positions? Center is the straw that stirs the drink. Then for us, right shot d, just because they are the most difficult to get.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oliver_wahlstrom</b></div><div>First OVR pick, 32 points in 33 NCAA games. Elite two way game along with the point production being there.

I would put Thompson on the table, but I am not as big a fan as most Sabres fans. Dahlin, power, and cozens would be off the table for me.

Thread: Realistic Robertson trade

The Sabres don't have leverage? It seems to come down to whether or not the stars owner wants to pay him. If they agree to pay him, its all dead in the water. If the stars decide to move him (which would be dumb), they are then subject to whatever the market will pay. So you are looking for a team that can afford a 9-10 million dollar winger- how many of those are there do you suppose, and a team that can pay something. That's where leverage would become a thing. Again, Dallas should keep their player. To think the Sabres are somehow over a barrel is asinine.

Thats the trick with taking goalies as a cap dump. If they are healthy enough to play, but they suck, you've gotta find a place for them.

It's fairly common on here. Hmmmm, we need to clear out some salary, how about that veteran left d that's making 3.6 per for several more years. I bet buffalo doesn't have any left d, plus they have cap room, I'm sure they will do it.
I bet that contract is gonna be very difficult to move. We are up to the rafters in left d, and so far we haven't lifted a finger to help teams move salary. Nobody is taking salary, and not many teams are looking for expensive veteran left d.

Thread: The New JR

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>busters99</b></div><div>Do you see Krebs as being able to take over the same role as Cozens?</div></div>

No. We can't afford to trade cozens at this point. I'm not a Thompson fan, but he and cozens are likely middle 6 centers on a good team. Other than that, Lotta questions. Krebs looks like he is committed to two-way hockey (advanced stats don't back that up yet, based on last year, but it's a work in progress). Krebs has soft hands and is really looking to set up most of the time, doesn't look like he's gonna be much of a finisher. We trade cozens, we get our heads kicked in. That's a bad look if you are moving your first. That's tanking for Dallas.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Wouldn't the Sabres be much better in the long run, keeping their four first rounders and spend 10m on a UFA(s) next summer? It's a losing game for non playoff teams especially to be risking their first round picks. So you are paying Robertson a UFA price and lose four rounders too? Sorry, it's. losing proposition for the Sabres,and really one reason their are so few offer sheets......ever.</div></div>

My god this is so true. I don't know what Dallas will get if they move him, but a lot of these proposals are the equivalent of 3-4 mid firsts. Then you get to pay him too. I'm not sure there's that many teams that can take on a 9 million dollar player, don't negotiate against yourself. Every neutral fan and talking head has buffalo finishing 7th or 8th in the division, so that pick alone should be a good pick in a very good draft. Center-defense-goalie-wing. That's how I think you build a team.
