Thread: Pietrangelo year 2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>They don’t. Ullmark had a .915 save percentage, he has some injury problems, he got hurt in January when they were 6 points out of the real playoffs. They would have made the 24 team playoff if he stayed healthy and probably would have stayed in the race. They lost 7 games by one goal when they had a blind man in net.</div></div>

Also, not to torpedo your point, but the reason they lost so many one goal games is because they had one freaking line. The middle 6 was nonexistent, and bonus- we wont exactly have cap room to extend dahlin and jokiharju if we take on a 7 million dollar goalie. Are there ANY goalies in the league you would give up 12oa for, let alone add for? Not me.

Thread: Hertl Gallagher Tierney Dillon

I think i could be talked into this years first for hertl or cirelli, but this clown show of a franchise has no business trading multiple firsts any time soon. Gallagher would be here for one shortened season before strutting into ufa. Im not an advanced stat guy, does gallagher drive his line, because i think most wingers are complimentary pieces anyways. Pass pretty hard.

Yeah, theres no way im moving a first to get rid of him. Also, not to be too cold here, but hes a stiff breeze from ltir. That could very likely be a top 10 pick for a guy that- at the very worst, plays a responsible (if incredibly slow) fourth line role. I would go so far as to say i wouldnt even move a second to get rid of him. We need the assets too badly.

Thread: Using Cap Space to Get Picks

I dont like seeing okposo in a sabres jersey. At this point, with the holes in our lineup, we simply do not have the luxury of paying anything of consequence to move him. He was a passable, although overpaid, 4th liner. Previously, i have said i would go as high as a second to move him, now i would not, that piece would be more valuable in a package to get a 2nd line center or second line rw. Also, with the number of both scary head injuries and quantity of orthopedic ones, theres a fair chance he is on ltir before that contract is up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15</b></div><div>Monahan is a 25 yr old 1C who has been a consistent 30g/60pt Producer with 3 yrs left on a team friendly deal. That’s a teams top prospect and top draft pick to start package. If I’m the Flames that’s Cozens the 2020 1st +, and I am most definitely not a Flames fan. If BUF isn’t comfortable with that I would understand, but an Eichel, Monahan duo would be one of the best 1,2 C combo’s in the league.</div></div>

As a veteran of the "eichel underpayment sweepstakes of stupidity" posts, i totally understand your point. Its just that its too much for a crappy team who somehow does not have a fantastic pipeline despite years of prime picks.

Thread: Monahan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15</b></div><div>I would think a Monahan trade would be centered around Cozens and the 2020 1st.</div></div>

Cozens or the 20 first. Cozens plus a pair of 2s or mittelstadt/thompson and 8oa would be something to think about. But both cozens and 8oa is a bridge too far.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun 28 at 2:36

Thread: Big Core Moves

Basically, you are trading cozens for 3 years of a guy thats probably at cozens ceiling. The sabres are pretty thin on left side d at the moment, although they did draft 15 defensemen in the last 3 years. I think the sabres would look hard at this. How does monahan at 6 affect the cap crunch when dahlin is due, and how does this affect expansion? Sabres are likely a better team the minute this goes through- skinner probably scores 30 with a center that could fog a mirror, and kylington pushes montour back to the right side or possibly off the team- either helps. Worst part is you are giving up on cozens because he simply hasnt had time to actually become the 2c that we desperately need (on an elc with years of team control to boot) and you are probably looking at 3 and out for monahan, but the sabres need to do something in a pretty big way, this could be it.

Its a ballsy move, ill give you that. With montour and johansson going back already, would much rather push the pick to 21. Its supposed to be a weaker draft, but theres still a good chance they get a top 10 pick out of it. Fwiw, 8oa is completely off the table for domi or anybody named strome- for me anyways. I would probably do 8oa for cirelli, but tampa shouldnt be trading cost controlled young players, so of course it would take an overp...yada yada yada.

I would go any forward not lundell. I have no interest in a forward with questionable offensive upside, we have asplund as a defensive forward that cant score that everybody seems to love, its the whole "only one line that can score" thing thats the problem.
