Yep - that's what makes it make no sense. Unless he has and Ekblad type plan in UFA - and why would an Ekblad type come to a place with taxes and only cold weather trees.

The only D i draft at 9 is Smith. Otherwise it's a forward

Yep Martone would be a ridiculous get at 9. Martone will be gone before 9

Great - but then what's Adams plan for Dahlin's partner?

If we trade nobody good away we need at minimum 1 top 6 LW, and I would argue a starting goalie

TY

He (ADAMS) will trade down in the draft. For what/whom, nobody knows. Anybody do 9, UPL and a lesser prospect for 10 and Gibson?

Yep - but then you have to consider cap space doesn't matter as much to the Sabres as they're always $10m under

$5m cap hit won't hinder a Tuch signing. Theoretically we just saved $5.5m in cap by trading Peterka (compared to the two guys we got back).

Of course but they're not giving up 2 for that package

Rosen has 0 goals, 1 assist and is -6 in 15 games with Buffalo. I know it's only a handful of games, he's only 22 and he's produced decently in Rochester but I would traded Rosen for anyone at this point (certainly as a part in a Rust trade). Some players just don't translate to the NHL.

That's as is. If KA adds nothing else to the forward group, he's more stupid than I already think he is. Hoping Byram is extended. If so the D should be better than last year. Goalie is still a ? How about: 12 and rosen for 9 and rust Sign Ehlers Trade UPL + soemthign small for Gibson I think this roster would be better offensively, have a better defensive conscience and be better in goal.

Servali (insider) is saying there should be an ESPN 30/30 done on the Peterka trade. A lot of crazy stuff happened. I'm pretty sure....no I'm 100% sure I wouldn't want to see that. Guessing it would make me sad.

I wouldn't blink at this. I'd be concerned with who's playing with Dahlin, but I wouldn't blink at this.

Or he could produce like Peterka offensively while actually playing defense and going to bed before 4am every night

I disagree - 2 cups, experience and solid point total the last 3 or 4 years. Plus $5.5 cap hit through 2028 isn't bad. Reminds me of Zucker impact and I'd be thrilled ith that

9 and Rosen for 12 and Rust seems about fair. $5.5m for the next 3 years isn't bad. Then sign Ehlers for $7 per and we have a team that can do things

Would rather pick at 12 and send Pit 9 and rosen for Rust

Lower end prospect, they want to package 17 and 17 to get to 5, 6 or 7 and take the homegrown kid, Hagens

nothing shocking here

Agreed Dobson trade should open up the Byram market, though, I wouldn't trade him.

Or at least are trading out of the 1st - could trade down (Pittsburgh??)

Hard no

WGR guys talking about rumors of PIT trading #12 and Rust to us for #9. I could live with that and PIT needs to cut salary

Bingo!! Bridge him or sign longer term (who wouldn't want to play with Dahlin), heck, even give him some 2nd line PP minutes (it's not like our PP was stellar last year). As for you LWer sign Ehlers or ,,,,,,gasp Marchant
