His value tanked and at least the Amerks will face him less

The only thing I can think of with JBD is arbitration. They want to offer 2x1.25mil and not have to jump through the hoops of arbitration

JBD and Kisakov weren’t qualified JBD better be re-signed or that’s a major issue.

Provorov working on a 7x8.5mil deal with CBJ

No interest in Mercer but the rest aren't bad.

Love Parayko but that trade would be really strange as we'd suddenly have 4 new RHDs as of the deadline and a huge question mark at forward in general

I don't think we can make the money work Voronkov is an RFA looking for 3 to 5mil Provorov at 7.5mil The big thing is, we re-sign Byram and our offense is as is; there won't be any fixes because we all know the team isn't going to sign a splash offensive UFA.

If Provorov wasn't making 6.75mil the past 5 years I'd target him at 6mil

I was meaning who they might be targeting, not all three together lol.

Well that was a tad expensive

Give him a 2x6.85 mil deal and tell other GMs to suck it then My guesses would be Voronkov, Marchenko, and Jenner

Frankly, I highly doubt it; he's more likely to offered something stupid overpay wise than undercut the player

Yes, yes he does. I can blame Adams for being an idiot for a myriad of things but I can't hold Peterka not getting signed as one if there were no negotiations.

Better, by a small margin yes. I read somewhere our project points went from 83.0 to 83.2 for the season. Which is somewhat surprising based on the loss of Peterka but I guess the better defensive metrics we have now help us immensely.

My guess would be it could be a masterful manner of tampering legally. If you request to trade for a UFA in a sign&trade you can talk to the player. He's said he won't do 8 years now so a trade isn't necessary.

The Sabres don't swing for the fences; they play small ball. But play a very fine line style of small ball where sac flies are not allowed. Could it work, certainly; but it isn't exactly common.

2026 1st would have to have some protection Benson isn't regardless of trade You'd be looking at moving Byram for futures than turning those futures and a prospect to get Robertson effectively.

Trade Byram for futures, take those future and a prospect and get Robertson

Well we certainly have some of those if they are looking for prospects or Protected 1sts in 2026

Well he's a fine prospect I guess; just more of the usual disappointment in Sabreland though

Again, no interest; the Sabres only matter if they are in Buffalo

Well it’d be a dumb trade to move 9 for a 33 year old forward whom is propped up by Crosby. Rakell, sure but Rust is a hard NO

Well neither is a positive

No thx on the sale of the team; private equity group would mean Houston Sabres

I still think they'll make 1 more move
