I think it just really depends on the type of prospect offer. I don't really love the center depth in the NYR system. They have more credible wing depth and defensive depth. While we need help everywhere. The difference for me in Lafreniere v Zegras v Byfield v Turcotte and so on, is that the center headliner is more appealing from those other teams. Aside from that, it doesn't make a ton of difference. I would rather see him on the West Coast, as we won't hear about him as much with East Coast Media.

Then ***** the Rangers. Peace!

I'm asking Lafreniere, Miller, Chytil 2 1sts and a mid tier prospect: Henricksson/Robertson. Take it or leave it. If we're trading in conference, it has to hurt them.

It's better than some of the offers.

Next order of business.

At this time, Granato made the most sense, and for once, the Sabres didn't overthink this, they did some due diligence to listen to other ideas, but they went with someone that showed progress with a younger team.

Thank god! Deleted my Tocchet barrage, as we didn't hire that goof.

27 minutes ago, dudacek said: Columbus: Eichel Philadelphia: Seth Jones Buffalo: 5 OA, 13 OA, Konecny, Merzlikins, Patrick This is actually the best of all worlds. A youngster who can take his time, Konecny is a wing, and in this proposal two picks and a goalie that in this deal is fine! I love this!

Go Habs, for Shea Weber. One of my favorite long time non Sabres.

Fair point, I deleted my useless post! 🙂

Getting Boldy and Rossi, Dumba as cap dump ( but a experienced RHD) insert "Calen Addison", plus a first, I’m not hanging up if I’m Adams. Dumba would be an adequate asset to take on, but I'd prefer Addison at this stage.

I would, that's a bit extreme! Dreger, is more reliable than Eklund or Kypreos.

His systems are underwhelming and he's an average at best NHL Head Coach. I don't have any specific insights, but he coached Arizona to mediocre results. He reminds me of Bylsma, all over again. Pass, we've seen that show before.

Barf.

Preference: 1: Zegras 2: Byfield 3: Turcotte 4: Krebs 5: Jarvis 6: Dach Lower tier (additions:) Zary Anderson Dolan Glass Pelletier

He's been a recurring guest for about 2 years or more. I just look at everything that Tocchet has done, and said, he underachieved in Tampa Bay, with a Steven Stamkos in his 20's, he did nothing that promising in Arizona, though his teams were at least on the bubble of the playoffs, and I don't want a retread coach. He might be a very nice guy, he seems like it in his interviews. But, meh. I'd rather go with Richardson, give Granato the reigns full time, or if we have to go the retread coaching route, at least give it to someone who has had success in Boudreau.

I actually would love to at least interview Richardson.

Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet, Just not Tocchet,

Hell yes, please!

Trash: #5, Merzlikins and Chinakhov, is okay....but it's not close to enough. Pretenders, raise your hand up. Seeya!

They sold low, because Botterill is an idiot. Anyone with half a brain would have seen that Berglund and Sobotka weren't quality. He was a worse gm at analyzing talent than Jim Benning is.

Because trading and signing the "right veterans" hasn't worked. The rebuild that started in 2011, was sabotaged and never properly started. Do I think we have the right management group to facilitate something that can progress the right way, no. This team is so top heavy, it's not even funny. Every veteran on this roster, outside of Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson (all 25 or younger) are the top end. The rest is under 22, or offers no suggestion that they're going to turn the corner. Tage Thompson is at best a third line scrappy, inconsistent scorer, who is injury prone. Or, is someone we're trying to move out (Skinner, Okposo, Eakin, etc). The problem starts, and ends with Terry and Kim Pegula, and until the scourge of their fingers aren't in every decision, then this team goes nowhere. I'm pessimistic sure, but I'm also realistic, I don't see 5 moves that make this team better, I see 10-12 that are needed. No scouting department, no competent hockey operations, owners with their hands in operations who have NO CLUE on how to build a team. It's toxic, and gutting this, and redoing things, is the way to go. Buffalo isn't an attractive market to free agents, we're a laughing stock to other franchises. I guess, I should just stop posting. Sorry, in advance.

At the same time, it's time to move on. We're going no where at the helm. Move him. This situation becomes uglier as we go on. If Eichel is still here, and say Reinhart and Ristolainen are traded, do you see Jack remaining quiet?

Even if you settle for Turcotte, 8th overall, and a mix of the following: Fagemo/Grans/Bjornfot/Parikh/Mikey Anderson/Scott Walker/Jarret Anderson Dolan/Simontaival and so on, there's so much more appeal. In any of that if you don't get Byfield.

Krebs, and Tuch are easy assets to love and get behind. I'm just missing the rest of the deal, 2 firsts, 2 2nds, and Cormier? Any deal from Los Angeles and potentially even Anaheim has the potentiality to be better. Riley Smith is coming off of a dreadful year, and he's hitting 30. Who is passing him the puck. Even if you settle for Turcotte, 8th overall, Fagemo/Grans/Bjornfot/Parikh/Mikey Anderson/Scott Walker, Jarret Anderson Dolan/Simontaival and so on, there's so much more appeal. In any of that if you don't get Byfield.
