Benson or Savoie will be a top 6 player this season and the other 3rd line winger.
Savoie is about to pull off a Calder winning season.
Or they miss the playoffs again.

I'd use the Risto deal as the possible example.
Everybody knows he won that one big time. Buffalo and Philly fans all agree on that. But Fletcher was desperate for a big D man so he made the overpay in picks. Adams took it obviously. Perhaps now he's unwilling to go the opposite way and do the overpay to get the player.
I think you were right with your earlier assertion about NTC/NMC. I’m guessing GMs don’t want to ask about Buffalo or ask if players are willing to waive.

As said above, I think it’s a consequence of NMC/NTCs and GMs not willing to lean on players to get them to waive. Which, honestly, is probably good practice for GMs since they deal with the same agents for multiple players and you don’t want to risk blowback.
If anything, the NMC/NTC hurdle theory supports other GMs being competent. In fact, it explains a lot. Occam’s razor.

Krebs sucks
Jost is better? How?

We need 3 centers minimum.
2C - Monahan
3C - Stephenson
4C - Jost
Then, imo, a goalie
1B - Samsonov
Then the icing would be to deal Samuelsson and get a Dman.
Top 4 D - Montour.
Jost over Krebs? Where is Cozens? Montour coming back here?? Samsonov over Levi when Levi had better numbers on a worse team?
This is quite the plan and I don’t understand any of it.

Ironically, haven't touched anything outside of my recently prescribed blood pressure meds since 1987, the last thing I did was smoke a joint with my older brother. A full year before I joined the military in 88. But, I do appreciate the reminder that as I approach retirement, I can look forward to unwinding and roll a blunt while watching the sunset soon.
Pro tip: you don’t have to unwind the blunt before you roll it. Once is enough.

He will give us the room to add a guy who is offensive but isn't a defensive liability.
I generally agree with what you said; however, if you have trouble getting people to sign here in free agency and you have difficultly making trades, the above becomes substantially more difficult.

Are the Buffalo Sabres objectively better right now than they were a week ago? Did buying out Jeff Skinner and trading for Beck Malenstyn move the needle? If it did, was it even in a positive direction?
GMKA has a lot of work to do this FA. And, frankly, if other GMs don’t want to trade with you, it’s time to go scorched earth. Offer sheet Anton Lundell or Quinton Byfield. If those bridges aren’t open, burning them doesn’t change anything.

I’m never opposed to adding a goalie with a late round pick. No complaints here.

He could.

For everyone just casually following, this isn’t an opinion exclusive to @LGR4GM but has been publicly stated by several scouts and media talking heads.

Thank God....we didn't have enough 7th rounders to find the next top 6 forward or top 4 D man
You were about as likely to find that at pick 109 as 123 and 200+ combined.

Really the one caveat in all this is how skewed his starts were. Not a player alive would succeed analytically with a 10 - 90 split. Your team loses the draw and they take a shot, -1 Corsi even if you can’t do anything about it
You can win the draw 😜

He's 196lbs. Are you ppl mental? What a guy is 1" below 6ft and is just immediately small? Wtf.
Yeah I was joking about the under 6’ bit. He’s solid. As is Helenius. These aren’t skinny euros.
-
We are decidedly losing the eastern conference arms race at this point in time.
-
He was projected to go higher so… sure. Looks good.
He was the highest ranked under 6’ forward left so it’s very on brand.

I’m not sure where all the aghast is coming from, this trade has Lindy written all over it
It’s because a second should yield a higher return.

And he’s gone.

2nd rounders have meaningful nhl careers about 25% of the time
That’s the average across the round and it isn’t linear. It drops off substantially after 46.

Who in the pipeline does Helenius make expendable?
Östlund or Rosen? Kulich is a different role and Savoie has a higher ceiling—at least on paper.

Similar size to Power. Hope he isn’t allergic to contact like OP.
His highlights video suggests he likes contact.

14, and got a bottom six NHLer for the move down.
Yeah if we look at it that way, fine, we got a free bottom six guy. But that ignores the trade values and we act like the 2nd had zero value.

Going to Minnesota in the fall. RD with a runway in the NCAA. Basically could be worse for a 2nd. It could be a 13th forward.
