The Sabres are probably adding Helenius to that though

If it’s gets to 7/1, a short term (1-2 years) extension become more and more likely

Tavares signs a 4 year 4.38 Million Dollar AAV extension with Toronto

This is a pretty good defense corps Byram-Dahlin Power-Kesselring Samuelsson(him not so much) -JBD Although Kesselring’s microstats show that he maybe a better partner for Dahlin

Could be a purposeful leak by the team?

Friedman mentioned the Sabres feel the market for Byram is a little soft.

I will say Michael Kesselring is a great interview, who was roommates with Josh Doan. They will be living together in Buffalo

I thought someone else had a goal, assist and fight before Gordie Howe

Kesselring-scored his first NHL Goal on Levi and had his first Gordie Howe Hatrick (His Words Thorny not mine) at KBC.

Rakell is a better all around player, but both would be welcomed

The replacement of the lower bowl seating at KBC was postponed this offseason, I wonder if that is to sign an expensive UFA-lol who am I kidding

Kyrou is the player you hope Peterka becomes and is cost controlled through his prime years. Dobson would be the second best defenseman on the team behind Dahlin Since EEE went into effect the Sabres have not been overly active in UFA. Since the Hall signing, the organization rep around the league has gotten much worse, would Marner, Ehlers or Tavares even consider taking a call from the Sabres?

Kyrou-8.125 million Dobson-projected 10.25 million Rossi-projected 7.6 million Doan and Kesselring-combined 2.3 million Makes sense

Having Tuch and Kyrou( who is better defensively) as top wingers, I would have added to get him

He avoided surgery and should be go to go for training camp

I was worried Adams was going to narrow down trade options for Byram looking for a RHD, did not expect him to do it with his best trade asset. I imagine if they had waited to move Cozens until the offseason there would have been more suitors. I am worried about Kesselring ability to play up the lineup for the Sabres, not because of the player, but the organization’s track record with defenseman outside Dahlin lately is suspect at best. The second last year for Beck and now this trade shows concerning behavior with some asset evaluation. And I do like Kesselring, Doan and Malenstyn on the roster.

Servalli reporting that Jordan Kyrou was available in exchange for Peterka. So that’s Rossi and Kyrou that we know of

Utah has three second round picks in 2026, they couldn’t have gotten the lowest one of them to replace theirs from the Norris-JBD Trade?

Swapping Maccelli for Doan would have made this slightly more palatable.

From Adams

The players coming to Buffalo are fine. The acquisition cost is not

Take home in Utah is about 400k more based on this salary and last years tax rate
