The concern is His Health and there is still 15 Million in actual dollars left on the deal. I would do 16 for 7OA, Murray and 2023 3rd

Maybe not

I trust this guy more then the other source I used, it is the 2024 63rd Overall Pick as You mentioned

Chad DeDomincis just put out an article that mentioned this “I did have a source that passed me accurate information before telling me to “not sleep on the Sabres and Copp.” I’m not going to get my hopes up or predict that it’s going to happen. At the very least it’s something we can keep our eye on over the next week.”

Absolutely. I think that’s part of the reason that Samuelsson, Power, Quinn and Peterka are going to be at Development Camp to be salesman for the Sabres. The ideal situation is for The Wild to convince Brock Faber to sign His ELC, so Johnson might be more enticed to do the same.

I read somewhere that it would be 62nd, as the original pick was 31st, sliding the SC Runner Up and SC Champions 2nd Round Picks back a slot to 63 and 64 as it based on the 2019 Draft Order. That being said The scenario You presented makes sense as well. Hopefully He signs and it’s a moot point.

He becomes a UFA on August 15, 2023. The Sabres or any team that holds His Rights on that day, if He doesn’t sign will get the 62nd Pick in the 2024 Draft

The common denominator with Fedotov and Kaprizov is both played for CSKA which has direction connection to the Red Army. So those players may have “forced military service” as a result. Yurov and Trikozov do not have any ties to CSKA and those players will not be in North America for 2-3 years, a lot can change during that timeframe. Adams just mentioned in a presser that they evaluate Hockey Players First, then You need to take a look what’s happening in the world, but if the value of the player is there when the Sabres Pick, they will have a conversation about taking them.

I’ll actually be in Anaheim that weekend, oops

Western Canadian Trip during the second week Vegas comes to Buffalo on November 10th

Per Reports

I can’t see them passing on Nazar twice

The fact He is going into the draft without a KHL Contract probably helps that though

That puts Lekkerimaki squarely in the Sabres Sights.

He’s represented by Gold Star (Dan Milstein) sign Him to an ELC before He gets off the stage. FWIW Jerry Forton mentioned He really likes the Top 25-30 Players in this draft
