LabattBlue Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Miller Eakin Hiney-stroker Butcher Hagg Pisser Any of the other 750k gang I think the Sabres hang on to Girgs, and because of his cap hit, no interest in KO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I expect some will stay. It is really a question of what other teams will want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with it all. But until it's another lost campaign I'm hoping they use some of the cap space to buy a player or two to make the playoffs. LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of surprisingly, especially after seeing a bit of him in Filly, hope they don't trade Hagg but actually re-sign him. That opinion could change as the season progresses, but at least before this road trip he's been playing well & Jokiharju can't be their elder statesman back on D next year. Won't be too broken up if any of the others on your list go away. They don't likely pencil into next season's lineup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is needed for size... Butcher is falling apart under pressure... Hagg has had his moments but is falling back... Eakin depends on who he plays with... one trick pony... H stroker for a bag of pucks... not impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Depth D men are usually in demand at the deadline so we can probably unload a few of them, but really won't get all that much back. Maybe something for Miller, but really nothing much to get excited about. Eakin maybe if somebody wants a penalty killer . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Unless someone comes banging down your door and offers you something absurd, I don't think you make any moves. You have a lot of draft picks coming up already, and remember there are only so many contracts you can give out in a given year. I don't need any more picks in the 3rd round or later. Now, if someone wants an expiring contract off your team, and the offer is something like "Sabres trade player 'x' and a 4th round pick to that team for their 2nd round pick"....then I'll listen. I just don't see the need to shuffle the roster around to extra 4th or 5th round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Butcher, Pysyk, Hagg, Miller are UFAs, Power, Johnson should be signing ELCs at the end of the year and Samuelsson is probably ready. Hinostroza, Eakin, Hayden, Caggiula are UFAs. Quinn, Peterka and Krebs are close. We also have the cap space to take on contracts at the deadline from teams who need it. The math ain't too hard. We're going to be active but it won't be for anything big. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indabuff Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Give Butcher the axe. Weren't we trying to sign him a couple years ago and he ended up signing elsewhere? Thought there was a bit of drama surrounding him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think the Sabres have to keep Hiney-Stroka just for his awesome name. Am I right @inkman?

LGR4GM Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I would like to point out that by not retaining on Eichel we can still retain on 3 contracts at the deadline if needed. If I were Buffalo I would be looking for a 2023 1st and another 2022 2nd at the deadline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for signs that Adams actually plans to weaponize that space instead of just being “economic and efficient” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he learned from Botterill's mistake of wasting the cap space freed up when Berglund quit. Edit: Though his "not blocking" the kids remains a bizarre attitude as it isn't blocking them to slot them into roles they are actually capable of rather than push them into situations they aren't ready for yet.

pastajoe Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 A name not mentioned who might attract interest is Bryson. He’s on the last year of his contract and could help a playoff team looking for an offensive D. Might return a 2nd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really doubt any of the young guys end up traded at/before this trade deadline. And, would prefer Bryson to a 2nd rounder. The entirety of this team can't be waiting to get drafted IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresVet Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Trade deadline deals? That's 4 and a half months away (March 21st). We're not even to the quarter pole yet...gonna be a long season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
