Beniers is projected to be a 1C. Just more of an ROR than a McDavid type.

I don’t mind if all the players in the deal from Jack are 20 or younger but they must have a veteran number one centre for next season. Maybe it’s Samson? Maybe he stays , gets the C. He was surly on his end of season call but didn’t burn any bridges. Can you have a captain that dislikes the media and vice versa? Jack on the other hand......he not only burnt the bridges but every neighbouring village was set aflame I, in fortunately, think there is no way for him to come back

I agree. But it interesting that at least 90% would trade Jack. I thought there may be a larger “let’s try work it out with him” contingent. I doubt Turcotte or Byfield or in AHL next year. Actually, I believe, byfield is OHL or NHL.

I’ll drive Eichel to Anaheim for those two I don’t see why Anaheim would do that. Not nearly as deep prospect pool as LA. Besides Geztlaf, do they have another aging vet that would put them into the “win now” category?

I agree, Maybe a new poll QB, Thomas, Kalyiev, and 1st round.

I do agree, they need another Center to hold them over for a year or two. doesnt have to come from the Jack trade though. Im seeing what it takes for Calgary to move Monahan. i dont agree with this at all. they have 2 young goalies. need 2 vets next year IMHO

Couldn't they have just cancelled his Zoom call?

If Jack wasn’t the captain I do believe that they would be able to work through all this garbage should never had him go in front of the media right after having a contentious exist interview. That being said , Jack should have realized the damage he was doing. Or maybe he knew exactly what was going to happen and saw a wAy to pressure them to move him? either way, there is no coming back from this. He can’t wear the c and you can’t strip him of it either. Though that has been done before. San Jose I think ? So I shouldn’t say “no way”

I agree. This would be a dream scenario for anyone who voted agains it - are you dead set against it or prefer a trade that included a vet?

Just curious.

100%. It’s really up to him at this point.

It would be an interesting trade a week ago, now it’s a home run if that’s the deal you could potentially land Beniers and Clarke RHD Or even take Powers, instead of Clarke, if you want a safer pick If Samson won’t sing LT then a trade to the flames for Monahan, plus a prospect Or maybe a bigger deal for Monahan and Tkachuk for Samson, Risto , Oloffson or maybe ..... Watch after all this day dreaming all 3 be back next year 😂 If he would accept the trade , certainly fits the bill as a veteran leader the team will need

Brown has a NTC. I could see them wanting to unload quick though

Sign me up for that trade.

100%. But If they won’t include Byfield, I think I move on to the next on the list Do you think I should be more open to Turcotte being part of the deal and not QB?

Samson seems to be trending up and Tkachuk down in their Careers. I know Calgary isn't happy with Monahan and he's expensive. maybe bring him an Tkachuk for Risto, Samson. Gets the Flames out of the Monhan contract (through 22/23) Monahan would be Sabres #1 Centre< Shielding the young Centers on the team....Cozens, Mitts and Beneirs.

they were definitely trying to goad him into saying something "headline" worthy but he was too smart for hem.

Edit that. Akil Thomas not Kayliev

Any word on the return? I would hope it would have to include either Zegras or Byfield

Brown has a NMC. Doubt he waves it and I can’t imagine getting both Byfield and Turcotte. it you can get either Byfield or Turcotte (preferably QB) and a 2021 first, a middle of the pack prospect like Kalyiev, along with a roster player, I think they’ve done ok I could see them wanting to move Quick Schmidt is a LHD, the Sabres deepest position Risto for a 1st is enticing but I’m thinking a expansion team may want to hold onto their 1st rounders

Nick is a UFA. Certainly would be someone the Sabres should think about

I’m on board. Trading Markus was definitely a big mistake. Leopold in return???

I think there would be a better trade out there

Can we add Jary and their 1sr rounder ?
