Thread: Heres Buffalos Center Help

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>That is while they need at least a playmaking center. Olfsson ir skinner can finish. A new 2rw would be nice.</div></div>

Agreed. I dont hate the idea of getting a 35 year old, defensively responsible center for a year or two (for the third line), but all im willing to pay is his salary and some very minor piece. I know face offs are overrated, but we always seem to lose the important ones, wouldnt hate having one of those guys around either.

I mean I think that's kruegers style anyway, but that's all we got. You take away our top 4 forwards and we couldn't run and gun with an ahl team.

Thread: SABRES FANS- What do you think

Perreault may be just fine as a depth player, the problem I have is that he probably becomes just another one of our bottom 8 forwards that doesn't provide offense. For example, if Skinner is out for any length of time, our 2nd line could very well be perreault centering frolik and johansson- Tampas 4th line might outscore them. It's not the value or the player, it's just not the move we need to make.

Thread: Entire Roster Trade Value

Upl is too high. Goalie prospects just dont hold that much value. Of course hes worth a lot to us, but that doesnt matter.

Thread: Trying to predict the draft

I don't see the sabres trading a top 10 pick, I'm kinda expecting closer to top 5 by season's end. As long as teams in front of them win spots, top 5 is within reach. I would rather swing big at the pick anyways. Unless our gm thinks he should pick a goalie. It's definitely frustrating, I'm not sure what kind of plan or eye for talent our gm has, and we are not a Dylan strome away.

Thread: Stuff

My only hesitation with breaking up our 4th line is that so many other forwards need to be brought in. Botterill is really becoming the student that turns in half of their homework. Having said that, theres 3 things that dont help the 4th lines cause- 2 of them are leading the penalty kill- which is poor to say the least, they have been here for far too long without winning- i believe that it becomes acceptable which is not, and the scoring is nil (maybe thats nit picking for a 4th line, but when only one line ever scores or even threatens, all hands on deck).

If im rebuilding and i can swindle a top 5 and a top 10 pick from buffalo, im doing it. Buffalo is not a kopitar away im sorry to say. Theres no way i give up multiple firsts for him.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 9 at 11:10

Thread: Rebuild lots of trades

If we are being honest, our gm has done a horrific job with our team. I wouldnt let him trade a future first to try and fix it. Playoff teams trade first round picks, the sabres unfortunately are not close to a playoff team, and trading a lottery pick for saad and shaw is not worth entertaining.

Thread: Seeing Whether Ristolainen Fits

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The assumption here is that the offer of a first (even a 2021 first) might be irresistible. I would understand completely, of course, if Botterill manages to restrain himself.</div></div>

I think it's top 6 center/rw or bust. Botterill has traded for 2 firsts, one was pick 29, the other was pick 31. Trading for future firsts has simply not worked for us. Plus a futures package may just be setting his replacement up.

Thread: Was Tom Barrasso HOF Worthy

I think he checks all the boxes. Mid 80s to mid 90s i dont think of him as being one of the greats, but he had individual and team success.

Thread: Dont suck again

I can totally see this in a summer long holdout, but i wouldnt give reinhart 8. At some point there has to be some fiscal sanity, hes a nice player, i dont see him as a difference maker. Goals league wide are up, top scorers are scoring more points, the 25/40/65 should not be 7 years and 56 million.

Thread: Sabres

The kings trade is absolutely terrible. Sabres dont need rentals. Sabres dont need help on d, we have too many as it is, and a future first for toffoli is not in the cards from us. Try a playoff team, la and buffalo are not good trade partners.

Thread: Montour

Its close to what we paid for him, a very late first and and A- prospect. Johnsson has had more success in the nhl than guhle has, but its in the ballpark. I think its extremely unlikely because our gm just traded for montour, he cant afford to trade him for futures, and we already have skinner and olofsson on the left side and reinhart plus nobody on the right. Honestly, the value is fine, the timing and fit dont work for the sabres.

Thread: Ducks Blackhawks deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>That's a horrible trade for the Ducks. You paid us a first and an A prospect for Brandon Montour, and Adam Henrique is far more valuable than Montour, so a first and Thompson and Asplund is fair for him alone. Sobotka is two years older than Carter Rowney, costs almost 3 times as much, is currently injured and is not nearly as productive or as valuable as Rowney, not to mention not fitting in to Anaheim's plans to get younger and faster. Change the second to a 2020 first and then add a third (which you don't have) or two fourths (2020 and 2021) and this deal would be fair. I still don't think the Ducks would make it because Henrique is anticipated to be Anaheim's senior center while Ryan Getzlaf is aging out.</div></div>

Hard pass. The first you got for montour was 29th. Ours will be around 8th oa. Our 2nd will be around 39th. Absolutely no interest in henrique for our 1st.

Thread: Healthy and until another trade is made

I would probably do this, I wouldn't hate retaining if we got a better pick, but that's assuming that the market is mostly just rentals. Bogosian drops off at the end of the season, the cap space will be there for the summer market when it's not just rentals. I can't for the life of me see us doing anything to save this season with Skinner and olofsson out for at least a month.

And I'm sure the team here doesn't matter.

I dont even like pominville and i might do this. I thought he was a nice second liner that got first line minutes here, and once he was a core piece, they never won anything.
