Yesssssss!

Savoie please?

Scumbags lol

Don’t Eichel this up Buffalo!

Come on Chicago take Nazar.

I hope it’s not Nazar.

I’m hoping for Savoie or Marco Kasper to us at #9

True

Seattles building a solid Center core with Matthew Beniers and Shane Wright.

I hated the Debrincat trade but Dach has really been bad playing with some really good players.

That is a terrible trade for Montreal so I like it.

He must be a real Eichel to fall this far.

To answer the question you can trade for him and re-sign him without other teams bidding for him. I highly doubt a Stanley Cup winning goalie will want to come to a team who hasn't made the playoffs in 12 years though.

That too

I'd be very surprised to think Fleury would sign here or Husso, why would either come to a non contending team? Other than money which both will most likely get on a winning team.

I can't speak for him but I've read alot on how trades really mess with personal lives of athletes and I'd guess it was him not wanting to relocate for the 3rd or 4th time. Again I have no way of knowing this but if he saw it as a neutral move why would he you know?

What savior are you thinking we can acquire if even Matt Murray is turning us away? What is your realistic suggestion?

I said yes, we need to add size. Some of those guys you mention are big but don't throw their weight around. I don't need to have everyone destroying people every other play but I want guys who can take hits and keep on trucking. I have no problem picking up smaller skilled players as long as the whole team doesn't look like that.

I'm not surprised, until we start winning these older goalies want to win a Cup. It's hard to see the Sabres as a Cup contender anytime soon unless your a fan like we are.

I think a smart approach would be to target 1 if the RFA Washington Capitals goalies, either 25 year old Illya Samsonov (23W-12L-6OTL) or 26 year old Vitek Vanecek (20W-12L-6OTL). I personally like Samsonov, his age fits more where we are and I think he's further along. I don't think the Capitals would be able to absorb a large offer imo.

Fiala's contract is 7 years 55M

You have more faith in him then I, I just don't see it but I hope he proves me wrong.

Michigan?

So Portillo/Levi didn't sign, we re-signed 90 year old Anderson to hopefully be the backup and couldn't even get a Solid yet not elite starter like Linus Ullmark to sign. I'm not trying to be a debbie downer but I think some of you drink the kool aid way too much. Not that there is anything we can do about it so whining about it doesn't help either but I find it far from an ideal scenario.

I mean couldn't they have signed Anderson to start and UPL back him up? It's all speculation at this point.
