We should only be trading our defensemen not our top forwards. Under no circumstances is Cozens to be traded.

with a stagnant cap and many teams spending under the cap, I expect Larsson's value to be depressed. Hopefully we can retain him for less like 3 years 6 million.

Being the 13th forward is not acceptable for his development. I believe if he has to be in the NHL he will be slotted in as a bottom 6 starter. The days of buyouts and spending to the cap are over. The Sabres like many other teams will be entering a period of austerity.

Have we established that Thompson can play in AHL without passing waivers?

Young 2C don’t come cheap. Mitts may never be an NHL player, Johnson was drafted lower than Mark Pysyk and may not amount to much. Hopefully the 1st round pick will be a late pick. Tampa is a much better run organization and I’m sure they will figure out a way to keep Cirelli. Good organizations don’t let players like ROR or Cirelli leave.

We better not trade our 2021 unprotected 1st. Its looking like a top 3 pick under the new braintrust.

He would have to agree to a long term deal before we make the trade

We may have to overpay him contract wise, but given the uncertain financial future in the NHL he may take it, and it’s close to home.

I suspect it would be something like 2021 unprotected 1st, Mitts, Ryan Johnson

Lundell projects to Zemgus Girgensons

Just curious, what state were you in?

Players have no right to complain about escrow. It’s the mechanism they agreed to ensure revenue is split 50/50

More like Ryan Johnson, Mitts 2021 1st

I think Tampa only wants picks and prospects and entry level deals. They can’t take on salary.

If Adams plan is to shoehorn Cozens into the 2C spot, he should be fired.

So now Kahun is a top line player? That is a recipe for failure. We need to add talent to our top 6 and not put players In bad positions where they will fail. I would rather put Kahun at 2C and acquire a quality 2RW. I also think that Skinner needs to be back with Sam and Jack.

If Mitts is on your 2nd line next year, you’re back in the lottery and Jack is demanding a trade out of Buffalo.

Anton Lundell has been compared to Zemgus Girgensons who was drafted #14. I would not be happy with that.

I’m not sure how much Stasny has left in the tank. I would rather hold onto Mitts and hope he can develop into a solid player. His 7 million cap hit is high for 1 year as well.

I think you’re selling that unprotected 2021 1st short. That could easily be a top 3 pick ? Other than Henrique what other 2C are available besides Cirelli? Strome?

What 2C are you looking at as being potentially available for trade?

2021 1st Montour Risto Mitts Ryan Johnson Tage Thompson

I’m somewhat surprised by the numbers that want to trade the pick. I guess everyone is hoping we can trade this pick for the messiah to fix our mess. We need to build thru the draft especially with a highly rated forward that will be available. I would use other assets to improve our roster.

These are not “republican talking points about Democratic governors “ this is exactly what transpired unfortunately.

You can’t give Tampa all these players they can’t protect in the expansion draft. They are of no value to Tampa. They will only take one player back that they must protect. The rest must be prospects or draft picks.
