The obvious- Could get 2nd to 4th rd picks in return. Oloffson, Girgensons, and EJ. Could be- Teams looking for depth, KA should just get what ever he can get. May have to retain salary. Okposo, Jost, Comrie, and Robinson Moves to shake things up- Joker, and Krebs Interesting to hear who else Sabres Spacers may be ready to move on from?? I believe we could see another type of blockbuster with one of the young players or prospects either at trade deadline, but definitely in the off-season. Some of you just don’t get that Okposo is the captain and leader of this team. I don’t think management would want to trade him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another point of fact .. they traded every Captain before him too. That is how 11 became captain. They traded Gare. Actually, the first captain (Smith) retired and became coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCSnyper Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I think this organization is in love with their prospects and cannot see the forest through the trees. Players like Savoie, Rosen, Kulich etc are all the same. Some of these guys need to be moved for established players. Top 4 RHD is #1. Defensively responsible bottom 6 players are next. I'd move Mitts for a top 4 D man. His skillset doesn't help on a 3rd line. IMO. The top 6 seems to be set. I'd assume once Skinner's contract is up, he is replaced with Benson or Kulich (if still here).

Both were infamously traded simultaneously to Detroit. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennessee dan Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Nobody wants our spare parts and 4th line players. They want our prospects. They should dump the entire fourth line for a bag of pucks or just waive them. Bring up prospects for a 4th line and development. A veteran, hard ass coach is the first move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will trade expensive spare parts for our cheaper spare parts for cap reasons. We can expect our 4th liners to return late round pick. An actual hockey trade, however, is unlikely without our prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Olofsson by the trade deadline Off season would like to see Samuelson part of a package with a prospect or two in return for a reliable D or a big Forward with grit… Guy has no grit, plays inconsistent, and is injury prone… Get top value for him while we can.

For me it is what he can be signed for that also matters. And ofcourse what he can bring to the team. They invested big money for many years in Owen Power, who is not yet playing on a level where he is worth the invested money. So they might have to make another investment to make the first one pay off. No ideal situation. For Owen it might also be growing pains that disappears over summer. I Still think Power-Tanev would rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Girgensons, Comrie, Jost, Stillman, Bryson, Olofsson, Johnson, Jokiharju, Clifton. Upside play: Krebs I would only really include Okposo, if he asks or says something about being open to being traded. He's an expiring that, I am okay keeping. The same degree with Zemgus, but I'd move him if he was ready to try something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see us moving on from Krebs. McLeod from Devils is high on my wishlist. And I think Sabres should be buyers, not sellers. So you want to get worse. McLeod is a dud. As for the first offer that's a drastic overpay for a 34 year old UFA to be. On 1/14/2024 at 9:58 AM, GoPuckYourself said: Adams keeps saying on WGR that he believes this will all work itself out, the man is completely clueless imo. Something is clearly not right when your entire roster aside from 2 players has regressed. He won't do a thing but if he was smart (hockey smart) which he doesn't appear to be then he'd trade Mittlestadt for a top 4 defensemen because there is no way in hell I'm giving that guy another 7+M contract for what he brings, he's a solid complimentary player but his value is never going to be higher than right now and if we truly want a top 4 Dman I think he's the player who can help get us 1, if it takes a Savoie or our 1st to help bring said player here then you throw that in as well depending on the player but Adams refusues to give up picks and prospects or mess with this core of players in general so it will be more of the same until this staff is let go unfortunately. He's ***** delusional. That's all. Have some balls you eunuch (KA). Edited January 18 by Rasmus_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
