We need to move Samuelsson, Jokiharju, and either Power or Byram.

That guy has 21 give aways and 2 take aways this season. Fits perfectly in Buffalo.

Helenius will be eligible and should be at the 2026WJC too. He's never going to be a flashy guy but he's going to be a good 2way player in the NHL in 4 years.

In the 10 games before your cutoff, Savoie had 4a... total in 10 games. No goals. His current 4 game point streak is double the longest previous he's had (2 games). Is it possible something clicked and Savoie is a juggernaut? Sure, but it's not likely.

Savoie is on pace for 62pts in 72 AHL games. Rosen is on pace for 62pts in 69 AHL games.

They also didn't lose because of him. Buffalo gave McLeod trash wingers and you are in here telling me he's terrible. He's exactly what he was a 3rd line center, he should have Krebs spot but Krebs is one of the favorites. Savoie didn't have a roster spot unless you're getting rid of Benson or Peterka. That was the issue there.

It's from the show Shoresy if you didn't know. 1:43 if the time stamp didn't work.

Ok, I'm ready. Pick Byram or Power, add Cozens to the deal, get petterson and whatever you need to balance this out. I think the deal has to be Byram unless you're taking a cap dump to even out the money. I'm not saying that's my preferred choice. Cozens, Byram, 2025 3rd for Pettersson, and a 2nd

It's funny Isn't it? Eichel leaves and gets better. Reinhart leaves and gets better. Next up is Dahlin.

The defense looks about the and under this coach for the 3rd year in a row, yet Adams does nothing. He's doing too much.

Dahlin overplayed himself on that play. Sadly, this team is total trash and the defensive coach hasn't been fired. The result is Peterka does nothing to help. The big issue is there's 5 players on the ice and they are all individuals, playing different games.

No no, see ppl here like Peterka and dislike Dahlin, so it's Dahlins fault they didn't make Tuch captain. That's the logic.

Get them over the top of a game 7 final they lost 2-1? Come on now this is absurd.

After they contended for a cup with him.

I wonder how Marco Rossi is doing these days...

Because I think I can trade some combination of Cozens and Byram and still use that 1st round pick. So you're only asking half the correct question. Do I want Petterson and Cozens/Byram or do I want Petterson and Misa with no Cozens or Byram.

Lol, are you seriously asking if McLeod is worth re- signing? Your take here is bad impo. McLeod should be the 3rd line center but Adams and company are obsessed with making Kulich that.

I don't agree because you're comparing nonsense to the top 4 in this draft. Further, what you fail to at least acknowledge is that Buffalo could win the lottery. So you're giving away potentially 1st overall. You'd be better served trading Cozens and stuff than that imo.

For all the talk of Buffalo rushing players, Novikov is a good example of patience. Love his potential.

Lol That said, Jason Karmanos is the gm of Rochester

As a 23yr old in his 4th year he had 68pts in 80 games, he then had 102 in 80, 89 in 82, and is trending towards 65 in 79games. So in the last 4 years he averages 324pts in 321 games, so you are right I am lowballing him because he maths out to about 80pts a year because he will definitely miss 2-3 games a year. Including this years 1st round pick unprotected is a terrible idea. You protect a potential top 5 pick all day every day. Also that trade doesn't interest Vancouver. You hare giving them 1 high end asset, 2 middling assets and a 4th line NHL player. The vancouver trade is something like Cozens, Power/Byram for Petterson and a sweetner. That is the rough value.

You aren't trading potential talent for actual, you are trading actual talent for lesser talent. Let's say you trade the Sabres first and they win the lottery. Instead of James Hagens you get what? Tuch? Zucker level? Greenway level?

Because trading top 5 picks is A. not done in the league, and B. shouldn't be done because of how talent gets allocated and how the cap functions.

Hows that working for us? Don't see vets lining up to come to Buffalo so they can play on a team for 2/3 of the year with the hopes of getting treated right when the team sucks. To the bold, holy ***** *****. If this is how this organization runs then just fold the team. Seriously if the Sabres go to Zucker and he says "yes trade me to a playoffs team" and Buffalo then lets him pick between offers... burn it down. Legitimately burn the arena, salt the earth on which it sits. Let it be a permanent memorial to the futility of man.

I dont move Greenway or Zucker at the deadline even if they decline unless the return is stupid. This team needs vets in that room all year who will continue to push the young lazy kids to be actual professionals. I would ditch Jokiharju and something else in a package for something decent like a Greenway or McLeod. I'd consider moving on from krebs and one of Tage, Tuch, Cozens. I pick either Power or Byram and move the other. I'd look to move Samulesson. Idc about the 4th line guys because come or go they arent the main issue here. I would keep Quinn and Peterka for another year and make a decision on them, we shouldn't panic on either and I think both present the opportunity to have top 6 forwards as soon as next season. I move on from Bryson and Gilbert. So, Jokiharju, Krebs, 1 of (Tage, Tuch, Cozens), 1 of (Power/Byram), and Samuelsson. That takes 5 starters out of the lineup and another 3 depth pieces. Depending if Greenway or Zucker is back, that is 2 more for a total of 4 of your top 9 potentially.
