How about Samuelsson & Rosen I'd pay it to get out of Power's contract and add toughness. The loss in offense can be made up by having a better defender and have 3 more mil to keep adding. If they don't have interest in Power, I'm not sure how Samuelsson becomes attractive. He's less bang for the buck, less upside and injury prone. They'll get much better offers, IMO, but I'd have to purposely fake my excitement if I was the Sabres GM. Wait, you have to take more than 2 seconds to say yes or you'll scare them off. I don't think we could trade Samuelsson unless we gave a team more than just him and didn't ask for anything back. Quote
SabreFinn Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Depends on what we can sign him for and how long. Maybe R Johnson, Rosen and a 2nd. If they add Schneider to the deal I add Byram. Quote
thewookie1 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 No interest, Rangers fans talk about him like we had with Ristolainen. "Should play wing" "Braindead guy that can hit" "Overhyped" Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 If the Rangers are in cap trouble they might take our number one for him. But he would have to be willing to sign here long term. I think that would mean one of the other D-man would have to go, though. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 I'll trade them Samuelsson and Rosen but the idea of using Owen Power and then adding more to get Miller is not something a serious GM would do. Miller is a 4/5 defender at best. He's not that interesting especially with the amount he'll command. 1 Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Miller is not that good to trade power for him .... Samuelsson would be a fair trade straight up no adding. 1 Quote
Happy Days Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 He is left handed. The Sabres need a good veteran RHD and a reliable goalie. 2 Quote
JP51 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Not sure the optics of trading Power for a middle 2/3 historical D pairing guy is enough return, I feel like he (Power) would be better used as a chip to get a much more game changing player (like on the other side optically getting a former 1st overall that has been at least offensively reasonably productive) ... so I would look to people like Muel, Quinn, Rosen, picks etc... to get that done... Just thinking out loud... guy is a pretty big hitter... is he the guy you look to pair with Power on a 2nd line D pair... I dont know enough about other aspects of his game, but does his toughness elicit more toughness from Power if he is playing with him? Just a thought.... 1 Quote
Mr. Allen Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 I don’t really like Miller. I’d much rather go after Rasmus Anderson. Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 So Rangers are doing this because of cap reasons, right? So trading any player back that also makes a lot of money makes no sense. Our top pick is a pretty good bargaining chip then, if that is true. Now does it make sense for us to do that? I don't know, but just saying we might have what they want. Quote
Carmel Corn Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Muel. Maybe both players just need a change of scenery. 1 1 Quote
Pimlach Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 (edited) Miller is a 3rd line d-man on a good team. A one to one swap for Muel, and maybe we toss in a grade B prospect or 3rd round pick. No way you trade Power or Byram for him and then think he is going cover those minutes. He is not good enough and the Rangers know that. Sabres always working on the fringe - fooling with the 3rd pair defense and 4th line is not going to move the needle. Improve the top 4 defense and the top 6 forwards and then move some current roster players down. The only 4th line player they need is one that will be an enforcer. Sorry Kevyn, but Malenstyn/Lafferty are not that guy. Edited June 9 by Pimlach 4 Quote

How about Samuelsson & Rosen I like Samuelsson, Rosen and a third to sweeten it. It gets Samuelsson out the door, moves a player I don't see as a realistic top six option and a draft pick for an upgrade. Not sure this will be enough, but at least a start. Quote

I don't know, but just saying we might have what they want. I'd need more than Miller for 9th. I can draft better Miller in Mrtka. Sure I gotta wait 2yrs but wth are we doing with yet another lhd anyways? At least mrtka plays the right. 2 Quote
matter2003 Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 (edited) Would this be our modern day Mike Grier like player, or at least filling the same type of role? Edited June 9 by matter2003 Quote
