This is correct. Botterill wanted a two way deal, Pilut a one way. Botterill agreed to the one way deal but it was too late, Pilut had already called His Bluff and signed with the KHL. Adams did check in as well, but it was too late I wonder if there is an element of I will play for Buffalo if I’m on the Sabres, but trade Me if not

You will be happy with the list that the players Sabres Interviewed

Actually they were done on Wednesday

A LHD

You’ll be happy with some of their interviews then

This is a good tweet

I will be doing physicals all day tomorrow for the Combine

His Wife is From Buffalo, it was His Destiny to return

I fully expect Adams to look at every possible scenario to improve the Sabres. Adams could look at the season and feel the team has taken bigger strides than expected and feel adding a player of the age and caliber of PLD is worth it particularly at the Center Position. I imagine Adams and His Staff will ask the following questions Is Dubois an improvement at Center over Cozens, Mitts or Krebs? Is the cost of acquiring Dubois something The Sabres willing to pay? Does PLD fit in with the team we are building here? Would PLD be willing to sign a deal with a minimum term of five years with Buffalo? I really like how VO has improved over the season and has developed into a very good all around player. That being said I wouldn’t hesitate to move Him in a deal for a younger asset (Top 6 Center, RHD or Goalie)

Jim #2 is played by Brandon Nolan and Jim #3 is played by Jordan Nolan, Former Sabre, both are Ted Nolan’s Sons

Are you referring to the game against Tampa, where PLD was benched for the final two periods by Torts? The Game that came approximately seven days after Tortorella made Dubois Trade Request Public much to the Team and Players Camp Chagrin? Tortorella was the one who decided to put this into the public spotlight, but Hey it’s the best player on the team’s fault and not the coach who’s contract was not renewed less than five months later. Marek and Friedman were discussing Dubois’s Future with the Jets and the reason the Jets might be looking to move Dubois is He is hesitant to sign a long term deal and prefers a shorter term deal as Scheifele, Connor, Ehlers and Hellebuyck are signed for 4 Years or Less.

Trading 28th OA for Sam Bennett and adding two RFAs for a one year cap dump of Gudas and a 4th? Downgrading from Asplund and giving them their 2nd Round Pick for Roy and Hague. Would Dadonov would be willing to go to New Jersey? No thanks to these trades.

Evolving Hockey has Him at 4 years 4 Million AAV, He has been on a downward trend the past few seasons but He still is intriguing

Dubois is 152 days older than Casey and has been much more productive. He turns 24 in June putting Him on the same timeline as many of the the Sabres Core Players To get 7-8.5 Million His Deal probably would be 7 Years making Him a Sabre until He is 31. If the deal is Mitts, 16OA, Johnson and Portillo and the latter have told the Sabres they are not signing, the deal essentially becomes Mitts, 16OA in 2022 and 63OA in 2024 (Compensatory Pick if Johnson doesn’t sign) The downside to the trade is that Mitts is cost controlled for two more years than PLD, but will He reach PLD’s Level of Production? Also one of the reasons PLD gave for leaving Columbus was wanting to play for a team with more exposure. I doubt the Sabres, particularly with the Bills in the same city fit that criteria.

Can you back this up with evidence?

The Sabres should put Okposo on a similar pathway When He is ready to retire

When PK was moved off the Top Pairing, there was a noticeable improvement in His Metrics. Evolving Hockey has His Projected Deal at 3 years 3.8 Million, I would sign up for that.
