I’ll be slightly disappointed if they take a 5’11 Dman i don’t think he will. When describing what they look for in a Dman at the latest presser adams twice described it and both times led off with the word “big”

I think Chicago may pull a Tim Murray

True Then Adams should make use of the card at the bottom of the deck and offer sheet someones RFA.

Or find a guy that told his team that is one year away from being a UFA and told his current team he won’t be re-signing. I’m sure they can get a guy like Hanifan without giving up JJP, Quinn, Kulich or Savoie.

No Olofsson isn’t going to get a top 4 by himself but also he won’t be on the Sabres, so when you list all their wingers you shouldn’t include him

On Defence I would agree

No but why are you assuming the only way to get a legit 2nd pair Dman is to trade one of those …wait, why did you include Olofsson? He will be traded and maybe even for said Dman

I really hope for some trades tomorrow! Should be a fun week ahead of us

It’s no to this years first And you’ve helped proved my point in that even if you have a guy like Helleybuck in net, you need a team without many (maybe in none at all) holes in it if you want to win the whole thing trading him for the 13th pick is just too rich for 1 season i Like my chances to win a cup with Simashev for 12 years over Helleybuck for 1

Really!? You really believe their roster sucked fro 2016 till now ?

That’s not true. I see the value in 13 this season. 13 is going to get you a guy who is liking going to be a big part of your team for the next 12 years if they were drafting 25th , I’d have no issues moving it

Yes cause that’s what the Jets have been doing year after year with said Vezina Goalie. Winning

yes, To me it’s crazy to give up 13 for 1 year the opportunity cost is too high given the quality of this draft now if you can get the Jets to take next years 1st and UPL and something Then yippie ki yay!

I would add more D depth that’s why I want them to add Hanifan and a UFA Dman Bryson should end up being 3rd or 4th call up option when the season starts

Then he walks after 1 year ? Doesn’t make sense to me. I agree It would be exciting but that’s a huge price to pay for 1 season I think better management would be to sign Andersen and draft Simashev.

What for corners do the Sabres need to fill at the moment?

I would say that yes all 4 are off limits. I don’t need to trade any of them to fill the holes in the lineup i need a top 4 Dman, a bottom pair Dman and a goalie I have a lot of prospects, including Rosen and Östlund, I have next years 1st and I have Oloffson, Joker and UPL as trade bait and I have cap space I’ll go back to @Randall Flagg off-season plan Hanifan trade Mayfield UFA Andersen UFA that’s a perfect off season and I won’t be trading any of the 4 guys that are off limits

If he didn’t trade away Kulich or Savoie for Chychrun , he’s not going to do it for Pesce. just my opinion. Especially if you have Pesce for just the 1 season and can’t / won’t extend him

Because I watched him be a star of the German World German teams , the watched him grow during his year in the AHL. watched him grow this past season to the point of him being one of their best players down the stretch. Then he capped it off by being the top forward at the worlds ahead of Quinn and Tuch the kid has the “it” factor IMHO

He will be a player whom you will kick yourself if you trade him away. Game breaker , star and a fan favorite for years to come

I think he made the forward group a lot worse with that trade proposal. the streak will be over, even if they came back with the same group from last year. BUT he’s not going to do that. The D wil have a significant addition that won’t cost JJP

I will not stand for my boy JJ being in any trade proposal. I have to give you a thumbs down for even thinking it

Easy? That’s laughable. Who was out there besides Chychrun? Ekholm maybe, but how do the Sabres beat the price paid by Edmonton? Otherwise I don’t see the move he could have made And yes back to the thread Keep the pick. Draft a Russian.

What other players that got traded would have moved the needle ?

So he should have traded for Chychrun?
