Jesus, his price is literally skyrocketing right now

The 1st would leave me rather unhappy but the latter trade would certainly be a great return.

TG had his many problems as owner but one certain truth is that he truly went out of his way to keep the Sabres in Buffalo for, for all normal circumstances, forever.

I would certainly take that.

Damn, I wanted them to take McCann

I'd keep Eichel at this point, if I can't get top dollar from a WC team then just keep him. Under no circumstances can we trade him to Drury's Rangers for a hodgepodge of supposed "good" assets.

Here's a top tier scenario we could theoretically have happen. https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2577869

I'd have to say Mitts for both. While Dahlin certainly returned to his rookie form of dynamic; it was more of a weight being lifted off his back. Mitts was seen a borderline bust and yet under Granato honestly looked like a Top 10 Draft pick. I see his game further blossoming next year in leaps and bounds as the "newly motivated and mature" Mitts begins to show more of what made him such a special player at the WJC. Dahlin would be my 2nd choice as I think we will see continued growth from him however Dmen tend to grow at a slower pace. Likewise, barring Dahlin being a Norris candidate next year I doubt his improvement could out weight Mitts. If Dahlin goes from 50% to 75% that's great, but in this case Mitts was at 25% and achieving 75% would be a larger achievement.

I'd certainly check into the price of acquiring Ben Bishop. Re-sign Ullmark Then we should have hopefully 1 good goalie per game as they get alternating injures.

NRD is reporting Philly is still interested in Risto What would the return be based on the prior rumor of a young dman and a high pick.

At the end of the day I will always believe Eichel is a good guy; perhaps not a great leader but he's certainly a good guy. Especially in regards to young children to which he certainly has an affinity toward.

Holtby is nowhere near an upgrade; he's been in a downward spiral for 3 years now. Looks like they are protecting Allen and exposing Price oddly enough. Same idea for Khudobin who was protected over Bishop. After the Expansion Draft I'd hit up Dallas over taking Bishop off their hands. Due to the whole Price exposing, I'd guess they'll take Price, sign Dreiger and then pick up some random goalie Depending on who that random goalie is, he could be a target as could be Bishop/Khudobin post-expansion due to Dallas having 3 goalies at the moment.

For Bo Horvat, sure

That’s my prediction

They’ll protect Ullmark and then sign him. They will protect Risto and trade him on Thursday. We’ll send our 4th to Seattle for them to take Miller

The Ladd trade surprises me, 2 2nds and a potential 3rd. i would of wanted a 1st to take on Okposo-lite

8x8.45mil is being reported. Would you give Dahlin that?

Well I would of after the expansion draft.

Yeah, I would of used the MTL 3rd to get him for his vet presence and still being adequate for a year

I had actually wanted Leddy so that sucks, I want a vet Dman

If Philly offered Nolan Patrick + a 2nd/3rd for Risto would you take it? I would imagine most would say yes because they want Risto gone but how would you judge the trade?

Chad’s input would point to a team with 3 D already protected.

That random dude in blue that blunts the fall a bit. That's Granato 🙂

Don't even allude to such a horrid idea

I disagree there, the Sabres are a joke but there are plenty of other joke franchises in pro sports that even make us look good.
