French Collection Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 He also said that they may wait until the deadline to deal Kane. He provided a couple of examples of rentals getting multiple high picks, Martin Hanzal was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Which players on the Sabres have no movement provisions in their contracts? I think the only player that will be attractive to other teams is Kane. They may be able to trade Sam, but they probably will not get much in return. O'Reilly, Okposo and Bogo have contracts that do not match their current play. I doubt they can be traded. Not sure there are any other players on the Sabres that would be interesting to other teams other than maybe Chad Johnson as a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there are any other players on the Sabres that would be interesting to other teams other than maybe Chad Johnson as a back-up.Anyone could be traded. The Clarkson contract is precedent. ROR could be moved for sure. So could Risto, Kane and Okposo. I'd ride out if necessary Moulson and Pominville's last year to achieve cap floor viability. If there is a plan to go hard after Taveres, they to could be moved. Targets: Defense first. I'd look to Carolina, Columbus and Dallas. Forwards, the obvious ones are Bennett out of Calgary and Galchyniak in Montreal. With the youth in Rochester building up chemistry LW CJ Smith, RW Bailey, Baptiste and Fasching, some of these guys most likely fill a couple of line 2/3 slots. That leaves some slots open for ? And then there is goaltending. Ullmark is sure to be up. But a solid 1A will most likely be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 No one is going to take Moulson, Pommer or KO. I think 2 or 3 of Reino, ROR, Kane and Risto are going to be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I still say it is a mistake if they trade Kane. He has been the lone bright spot in this bleak season, so far. I agree. But then again they don’t need another high priced player making some serious cash with little results. Just look at ROR, Matty Mo, Bogo who can’t stay healthy. It’s like they need to blow it up again and start over. It’s gonna be years before this team is actually decent. I think Buffalo should look at their scouting staff and actually get scouts who can find players past the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botterill largely turned it over after he was hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABRES 0311 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Who is going to start the Eichel trade thread? Just saying it's not like he is trying. Let him throw tantrums somewhere else with his way too big contract. When Sid and Ovi came into the league they didn't lolly gag after two seasons and look at their stats. Eichel was supposed to be some generational player but he is unable to play to that level. He was a flash in the pan and it's clear all you need to do is close space on him to defend. There is no more and there never will be any compartisons to McDavid or Matthews. They are light years ahead in talent and drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost with him producing and we've lost without it. Get something for him while he's healthy and stats are still good. He's ,in my opinion, going to FA and not signing here anyway.

Read some rumours on other boards a team out west wants Okposo, would have a player + pick coming back but we would have to add a prospect like Baptiste / Bailey for them to take on the contract. The only reason I don't see Okposo getting traded is that he has to waive his nmc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I don't see Okposo getting traded is that he has to waive his nmc. At this point I think they'd move Okposo and Baptiste. I would imagine that either the Sharks or the Kings would be interested in Okposo unless the Ducks want him because Kesler will be out all season. Okposo has looked good the past stretch of games. He's held the puck well and shown some heads up play. The only problem is that the line he's on isn't clicking. So when do we start to see movement? Before or after Christmas? Before... definitely.

dudacek Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Okposo and O’Reilly made huge commitments to Buffalo. Wonder how much they regret that. I didn’t think it was going to be necessary, but it’s entirely possible Botterill may try to flush Murray’s entire core.

I posted somewhere that I feel it's 50/50 that he starts over and dumps just about everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
