The Sabres don't have much for right shot d, there's just jokiharju and Clifton. I can see the Sabres moving on from jokiharju, but Carrick in ufa would be more interesting from the Oilers bottom 6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Sabres do need to swap a LD for a RD
BUT
Byram has been playing on our top pair w Dahlin on the right side, and it’s looked great
Pretty sure we’re gonna lock him up long term & would look to swap another of our defensemen- maybe Samuelsson?
Tough to say right now bc Samuelsson has been hurt & he previously looked great with Dahlin as well</div></div>
I agree that Byram is a no-go, and Samuelsson would make sense to swap for a righty, but I doubt Vancouver would be interested in a Samuelsson plus for willander swap. I don't see a deal for anything else.

Upl has been really good. Goalies dont get top 10 picks, and this is adding Rosen, who isn't a throw in. Honestly with upl playing as well as he has, there's no chance the Sabres pay a premium.

how far has PLD fallen
Savoie wouldn't be going without an extension. Rental players, rental prices. Reasonably speaking, it's easy for teams fans to say "well you can always re-sign him", but it's not that simple. Buchnevich is a Russian born and raised hockey player, Buffalo has made some decent strides to fix their reputation as a clown show organization- the locker room is no longer a toxic mess, and the roster is brimming with first round talent- but buffalo does not have the allure of many other cities. If you were an American hockey player going to the khl, would you wanna play in Moscow or st Petersburg, or the 50th biggest city in Russia with a very small/no American community? Trying to be reasonable here, there's no way I'm just assuming that if we trade for him, that he agrees to sign a reasonable extension just because we overpaid when we traded for him.

While I would very much like a jake middleton on our d, the Sabres already have 5 left shot d, and seem to be content with icing all puck movers. Again, if it was me, I might try to move pieces around, but there is not a chance our gm is moving assets to give us another left shot d, and as far as I can tell, our gm doesn't value middletons skill set.

2) Sens aren't trading Brady
3) Joseph's contract does not hurt the Sens
If in some imaginary world where the Sens were willing to trade Brady to the Sabres, I think it would probably look something like BUF 2024 1st round pick (top 10) and one of the Sabres good young players/prospects. (Ostlund, Peterka, Quinn, Benson)</div></div>
I think they would get more. Not sure how many teams could offer a top ten pick and a young player with top 10 pick value (benson, Quinn, savoie), or mid first value (kulich, ostlund), but I don't think it's too many. The Sabres have other players that I would say have early second value- (ryan johnson, Rosen, Wahlberg, strbak) that could also be added, I don't see the sens winning the trade, but that's good pieces going back.

This isn't the nfl. You are much more likely to land impact players with higher draft picks. If I'm dropping from 12 to 24 (I believe these picks are closer to 8 and 28 btw), something pretty nice better be coming back.

Insane blockbuster - Ottawa POV
Couple thoughts- savoie has missed time with shoulder injuries, and his wjc was disappointing, likely because he was playing through a different injury. Speaking of injury concerns. I would love a Brady Tkachuk here, whatever the real life cost is, the Sabres won't pay it. I would hardly call the Sabres season a runaway success story, but the success they have had, has been because upl has been their best player (obviously the teams commitment to defense has allowed upl to play with confidence, that commitment to d has cut both ways, but that's another story). I don't see the Sabres throwing a bunch of high end prospects and picks, plus upl, at a skill set like Tkachuk.

Well, I like where your heads at, I don't see adams paying what it would take for either player. I would pass on Liam Obrien, he's not a good player, it's wasting a roster spot. I would want grit to come organically, from players with actual talent, scattered throughout the lineup. Never been a big fan of the bag of knuckles players.

Jenner isn't gonna happen. I know what you're going for, you're going to get the same answer as you would for players like Crouse or tkachuk- these players have skill, provide leadership, and are extremely physical, that package costs a premium and adams isn't gonna pay it. I'm hoping that adams starts to target players like this at the draft, when you have a chance to get them, but that's not their MO.

Another bad year and then 2 options
Yeah, I wouldn't. The Jets pick is looking like 26 or so this year. The Sabres have been playing better hockey, now that the pressure is off, unfortunately, I'm assuming the Sabres are picking top 10 until they show that they've figured stuff out. Because I do not trust the Sabres front office, I assume that we would be trading a top 10 pick next year for pick 26 and a couple seconds. If this was the nfl, that would make sense. In the NHL, the Sabres get crushed doing that, and it's not like the Sabres prospect pool is weak and shallow.

Realistic Offseason
There would need to be an extension, but something along these lines would work for me. As far as the players- I would probably do ostlund here- I would think the Sabres would not do savoie, ostlund and kulich are probably equal value, and rosen is the player I'm most comfortable giving up (which means stl will want one of the others). Wahlberg is one of our bigger forward prospects, I've seen him projected as a power forward, which is probably an extreme reach, but I'd still rather see where it goes. Johnson and Samuelsson both have plusses and minuses. Ryan johnson is a great skating puck mover, he's earned more playing time than he gets, he doesn't put up any counting numbers really, and I still would rather a defensive, physical player, preferably two, on the back end. Samuelsson has already gotten paid, he's a big body, not particularly physical, more a player who uses his reach, and looks to pass on zone exits. Last year, Samuelsson checked the box for defensive d, but he's had a rough year, and frankly, he's not particularly physical, so I can see moving on from him too. There's nothing particularly wrong with either defensive player, I just very much would prefer to add some grit, and neither player would be somebody that couldn't be traded- for the right return.

I think you are overpaying for Krebs, the late first is probably fine if the Sabres are gonna move him. As far as undersized forwards go, Farrell would be an interesting player if we weren't already loaded to the gills with undersized forward prospects. The smaller guys aren't on everybody's wish list, but I would think would want him if you wanna move him.

For kulich alone, a top 10 pick is fine, if we were looking for futures. That's kinda the point, after 13 years of missing the playoffs, trading for straight futures isn't gonna fly. Tuch as a power forward that plays both ways, on a cheap contract, he's not on the table.
