The highlights-9OA and Samuelsson to NYI for Noah Dobson, who is signed to a 4 year 9 Million AAV contract. Byram to San Jose for Timothy Liligren and 30th Overall.

Looks like the Amerks are keeping Leone

Jonathan Toews signs a one year deal with the Jets

I cheer for a team that has not made the playoffs in 14 years therefore I will not complain about any player being a non playoff performer until the Sabres qualify. Kyrou was second on the team in scoring, he would have been second on the Sabres as well. In terms of his two way game, only Dylan Holloway had better defensive metrics amongst their top six forwards per Evolving Hockey and he did lead the Blues with a +23. Kyrou was in the 72nd percentile while JJP was in the 2nd percentile this past season. In full disclosure Kyrou was in the 24th percentile for his 23 year old season. Still the most likely scenario is JJP signs a two year bridge deal with Buffalo.

Joe Marino suggested a JJP for Jordan Kyrou swap. It needs to be done before 7/1 as Kyrou has a NMC starting then. This would be a great deal for Buffalo. Kyrou is signed long term at 8.125 AAV

For contrast

Well some teams do it

With maybe the exception of Appert, the rest of the coaching staff only has one year remaining on their contracts, didn’t want him to feel left out

Rakell has better all round metrics, Rust is a defensive black hole

Seattle just fired Bob Woods-hire him as a PP Specialist for one season

They will never reach Adams level of incompetence, but Drury and Verbeek are not good GMs

Pittsburgh has a lot of interest in Helenius and the Sabres supposedly have an interest in Rust and Rakell. The former has no more trade protection as of July 1st and the latter has a 8 team NTC. I could see a scenario where the Sabres make the pick at 9 for a forward and if they acquire another later first this year for Byram-taking a defender with that to replace anyone moved out from Rochester. Chad DeDomincis also mentioned on His Pod that Tuch is looking at an extension of 5-6 years in the 8-9 million range.

The return would most likely include defenseman in addition to a first. San Jose-Liljegren and 30th for Byram? Philly- 22 and Cam York? I have a feeling we will be underwhelmed by the return

The Sabres Rights to Him expired on June 1st

Dallas is firing Peter DeBoer

Marty suggested it would take a first and Kulich to get Robertson

Sounds like someone who would benefit from the NCAA next year
