Aube-Kubel is the one of the best if not the best defensive forward on the team. You want him playing every game

There is actually some data that Krebs passing to Malenstyn might work

As @tom webster pointed out the Sabres were looking for a different type of player as their 3C. From a playing style and cost standpoint they found him.

I’m not trashing Savoie. McLeod will help the Sabres next season and is a huge improvement at the 3C Savoie will not. You major this deal seven days a week and twice on Sunday

Per NHLPA

“Watching Zach (Benson), most nights he was as good if not better then Matty (Savoie)” -Lukas Suter, Sabres Western Scout from the 2023 NHL Draft Embedded Video. Savoie Value to the team started to decreased the second Benson was drafted

Size and injury concerns he has had multiple shoulder injuries going back to his draft year

Peterka-Tage-Tuch Benson-Cozen-Quinn Zucker-McLeod-Greenway NAK-Lafferty/Krebs-Malenstyn Looks better then it did this morning

I think he could move up to 2C if needed

Now this is a 3rd Line Center

That’s a beautiful area, great restaurants How they revamped Riverside Drive was very smart. This is the first summer in 17 years that I am not vacationing up there. I’m going through withdrawal already

I think Friedman was adding this in addition to this

Not that this makes one bit of difference in the grand scheme of things, but Florida is actually on the hook for the bonus. (Hell I wouldn’t mind a 50 million dollar cap overage in exchange for a Cup) It’s listed under the Panthers for next season as a 500k carry over bonus on Cap Friendly

What part of the St Lawrence are you located?

Carolina is very interesting. They have 21 signed players on their roster right and have 4 RFA with 11.8 million in cap space. Those four RFAs are Seth Jarvis, Martin Necas, Jack Drury and Dylan Coughlan. Including those 4 players they have 7 players who can play Center. Jack Drury would be a trade target for 3C

He looked good today in the 3v3, strong on the forecheck
