Yes, cause brining UFA's from other teams has worked so well for them. I hear Taylor Hall will be available. Stick with what's working, why mess with it?

For $hits and Giggles Skinner Eichel Girgs Bjork Samson VO Asplund Mitts Tage R2 Cozens Okposo Roll 4 lines each night, if one line isn't going, you lean on the other 3. Stay out of the UFA market for anything except 13th Forward and 7th Dman and goalie (unless they are your own UFA- McCabe and Linus)

what about 4 balanced lines?

The odds of drafting a LHD with their first pick has to be fairly low. Gotta think Dahlin, is going to be 25 mins a game soon and should hold the top pair LHD spot for next decade If you believe Cozens, Mitts and Jack are the centers for the next 5 years at least. Who’s more likely a top 6 winger, heavy on the forecheck, fast and skilled -Beniers or Guenther ?

I think I’ve seen enough of veterans. I have absolutely no issue going with youth. though brining back McCabe and having Samuelsson play 25 mins a game in Rochester isn’t the worst plan in the world

If Samuelsson plays well, is that the end of the McCabe as a Sabre ? or sign him and let Dahlin, Bryson, Samsuelsson and McCabe fight it out for playing time ?

Eventually he will put up 20 in a season. It’s coming ..

I’m ready to see Borgen and Samuelsson in place of Miller and Irwin

IF a trade happened with the Kings you HAVE to get Byfield. I have to admit there is some intrigue in adding 3 or 4 high end prospects to the mix but I’m way more interested in adding Eichel to the team we are watching now

Yep. That’s my worry. Someone will eventually get lucky and tip the puck away from him and get a breakaway. even when that happens, he can’t stop playing this way, he will create way more offence than he will give up.

You can’t help but smile when Dahlin has the puck. Pure Magic!

I would like to see how Borgen does over the last month of the season. you've spent 5 / 6 years developing him. Would hate to see him gone for nothing.

Pretty confident that the Sabres will trade a pick to Seattle for them to take Miller Though Im also not protecting Bjork at this point.. maybe that changes in the next month. As of now Im protecting Asplund

i think Quinn is thought of as a player who has a strong desire to succeed.

most but not all

Sorry I guess I’m way behind in reading posts. even the biggest Raty supporter would have to admit he seems to have regressed this past season. I’m sure he will be a fine player but I’d want to know why he has taken a step backwards this year.

When is the scouting report of Raty from? He didn’t make the world juniors this past year.

The goalie not being Hutton has helped too

Mentioned a week ago that we are finally seeing the world junior Mittlestadt. that play by Dahlin was exActly the kind of stuff we were seeing at that same tournament. Absolute magic

Looking at cap geek , I wouldn’t even worry if they give Ullmark $5.5 or $6 on a shorter term deal. They will have plenty of cap space. Just need to resign Samson and figure a way for Seattle to take Miller.

I think the expansion draft will help the Sabres, if they can not sign ullmark. there are a few teams that can’t protect 2 good goalies. Sabres now have enough draft capital to pry one lose, rather than that team losing the player for nothing I believe there were a few trades prior to the Golden Knights draft

Omg Eakin is around next year too? Ugghhhh. I’m missing Lazar even more already I think you are right Stay out of the UFA market (Maybe add a couple of depth players at the league minimum) The UFA market is minus Laughton was signed today Only leaves Hyman as someone who I would want and the leafs are said to make him a priority to get signed You’ll be losing someone to Seattle, unless you can entice them to take Miller by giving them a 3rd rounder

I would have thought Lazar was the Center for Girgs and Okposso. Still puzzling move...

Binnington (Cup Winner) gets 6*6 Demko gets 5*5 Where are the Sabres with Ullmark? $6 million and less Term?
