Is Graves worth it though, is he truly a Top 4 defensively skewed Dman very disappointed that he isn’t related to Adam Graves

1. Depth faceoff guy 2. Based on the market, unlikely 3. If DeMelo gets a 2nd from 2023, Jokiharju can get a 2024 2nd and a 2023 4th 4. He'd be a great bot pair player with the ability to sub in as needed on high pairs as well as bringing oodles of playoff experience 5. Probably a 4/5 but his purpose is to purely be Power's partner

https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/4269788 here’s a scenario I concocted

I would easy trade 13, UPL and Östlund/Rosen for Saros

He wouldn't of been a great acquisition for us due to his usage as a PP QB being practically worthless to us. He's good, not really good.

Did that hit Tkachuk?

LFG!!!!! Yes

Honestly just fed up; it’s like the hockey gods hate Buffalo Not only do we miss by 1pt But our exes are in the Final. One we broke up with amicably and the other in an instagram picture deleting ugly breakup Yet the ex whom burned us seems to get all the luck and in all likelihood gets their dream achieved.

Well it was a BS call, that was at best a weak trip with a dive

I deleted it, just some angry posting Just so tired of the endless ball washing by the media that never existed when he was here. Plus tired of players asking out and being granted immediate success. If a player asks out, the GM should threaten to Tanya Harding them.

BS call

Finally

Enjoyed his use of chaos goalies versus structure goalies since it makes a lot of sense. Some goalies thrive in structure but suffer in chaos while other play well in structure but are better remembered for their play in chaos.

No thank you, it’s certainly tempting but the sheer multitude of what a Hellebuyck extension would look like and the age/ window difference turns me away rather fast. In no small part Helle’s age makes his conceivable window not align with the vast majority of players we have. His AAV + age will create issues by year 4 even if Hellebuyck continues to be a Top 10 goalie. How many 35+ year old goalies are still high tier in their play? The issue pops up since it’s borderline impossible for the Sabres to stun the world and conventional wisdom and win the Cup next year without any prior runs. Most commonly your core needs 2 or 3 serious runs before you can truly be considered a perennial Cup contender. Chicago did it in approximately 2. But that is rare. Pittsburgh took 3 to make the Finals and 4 to win. Hellebuyck’s age would be 34/35 in year 4 in this scenario. Most goalies begin to peter out at that point. Either they get bad, or less reliable with playing availability. I’d much rather have the goalie we could conceivably have for 15 years than one for 5.

Hopefully it’s 8x9.926mil

My proposal was UPL, 13, 45 for Hart, 22, 87 and LA 2024 5th

Strangely yes in terms of value

In the end one effective year doesn't erase the 3 or so bad ones

I'd be willing to do the 1st I don't budge on Kulich/Savoie

Perhaps we can merely move Philly’s 2nd as the primary pick. It would be certainly preferable

He’s an RFA next year, so we would at very least get a year to get to know him

I’m very confused by this trade from LA’s POV

I’m actually moving down

I have reservations with Hart however My offer would be UPL, 13 and a 2nd for 22 and Hart At most

So so far Philly gets Petersen, Grans, Walker LAKs 1st and 2nd CbJ gets Provorov at 30% retention What is LA getting outside of cap space?
