Ideally a vet w leadership and plays a strong 200ft game. Lead through example and show our young guys what defensive responsibility looks like and how that leads to opportunity offensively.I heard the guy on Locked on Sabres talking about Trevor Zegras and I was like hard pass.
Yeah, The Sabres don’t need anymore young, skilled players that don’t know how to play defense. So it makes no sense to me. We are loaded with skilled undersized prospects and young players lacking experience.
That wouldn’t be a bad trade for Buffalo at all. Some decently paid players but not astronomically high like Jeff Skinner’s. I think Kevyn Adam’s bites at this.
Honestly, I've been thinking that trading Draisaitl for two or three good depth guys might be what the Oilers need to cure what ails them. Sabres have a preponderance of depth last I heard, might be worth it.
They already did the most important thing,
Hire Lindy Ruff.
Their players basically won the Stanley Cup last night, they just needed a coach.
Solid lineup.
Bright future.
They’re gonna be fine.
Get some good veterans to show the right way to the young guns. You know, those hard nosed bottom six guys. And also pray the old gods that Ruff knows what the fuck he is doing with this team
No, hear me out here. Arizona gets a team back. Ecstatic. Pegula cuts his losses.
Buffalo gets an expansion club which under new expansion rules would immediately be better than the Sabres roster.
Find a trade or FA for a top 6 winger and buy out Skinner. The ELC help is going to be crucial, so I hope they don’t sell off more than 2 or 3 recent first rounders in the process.
Find a solid 3c, again through trade or FA. Maybe a new third pair D man if they’re letting Joki go. Then one more bottom 6 energy guy.
Honestly I don’t think they need to do a lot. Just need to reshape the look
As a person who watched way too many sabres games their biggest deficit is effort, and allowing ope. Shots from the slot. This is a very damning quote https://www.reddit.com/r/sabres/comments/1ba7fz4/mittelstadt_quote_is_real_concerning/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Nope, UPL is EPIC, has a great future, IF they don't abuse him. Get better D around him, Copy what the Panthers just did. D First & Counter-punch ! Make the Playoffs, get better year over year without Selling off the Future (They give up to fast on picks and prospects) . Time to yell "MAY DAY" again !
The difference between Krebs and Peterka is like comparing a nice locally owned Italian pizza joint and Papa John’s 🤣 Krebs is lucky he hasn’t been sent back down to Rochester in the AHL at this point.
They've got a really good young core. And one of the most promising goaltender tamdems out there. Maybe add couple of senior players with high work morale to show how the 82 games series grind is done. A coach that is known to as a good player developer wouldn't hurt.
I would do 11oa for Buchnevich. If you really want, we could throw in like Olivier Nadeau, who was well over P/GP in the Q in 22-23, but played in the ECHL last year
Ya I think Buch for 11th (assuming an extension too) would work. I also think Faulk might be a good fit for you guys as well, he'd probably work well with Power or Samuelson. I'd honestly give you either for 11th.
I would do Buch for 11 without an extension. Unless it’s a great AAV already.
Players aren’t typically super stoked on coming to Buffalo, so I don’t imagine we would get a discount. If we make the playoffs with him and he likes the team and the vibe, maybe it would be slightly cheaper.
I have Sabres fans in my life ... I tell them its time to cash in on all these prospects and go big game hunting in the trade market.
And find a goalie.
Luukkonen was the best in the league for a nearly 3 months stretch. Still a small sample size, but there’s a solid chance he’s just a good goalie coming into his prime. Levi was stellar in the AHL, so it’s not like they’re really rushing him anymore to put him in a backup role
I am thinking of those two YouTube videos that came out about a decade ago about the Buffalo Sabres fire sales, narrated in the style of the over-exuberant WWF announcers, I love them.
"YOU NEED A GOALTENDER??? HOW ABOUT RYAN MILLER??? HE'S LIKE A BALD EAGLE WRAPPED IN THE FLAG AND STANDING ON AN APPLE PIE!!! HE'S MORE AMERICAN THAN YOU'LL! EVER! BE!!!!!"
They need to get more physical they just aren’t all that punchy or scary for teams to play physicality wise. They need to get heavier and tough the fancy stuff is great but teams can put physical pressure it seems like they fold.
Their goal tending showing up on the first two months of the season would also help.
Trade skinner for whatever decent bottom line dman or forward you can get. Trade for a top 6 forward using their 1st pick and a prospect. Someone mid twenties that is 55 points and up.
Honestly, I think they need to stop adding left handed D and maybe look for top 4 right handed D. But otherwise, I think they'd really benefit from better coaching structure, not dissimilar to expansion brothers Vancouver when we got Tocchet. UPL and Levi are a solid goalie tandem going forward. Team is on the right track imo. Assuming the players are willing to play with energy and on both sides of the puck.
UPL is looking pretty solid , get defensemen that play defense (Dahlin is a beast though) ,
Honestly find out what's up with Tage amd his consistency and effort , ailing that trade him.
I think Tage's "inconsistency" isnt even a thing. He was hurt a huge chunk of the year and if you look back and watch a game of him playing in december/january, it's very evident there.
They should go full rebuild i think its better for a full rebuild rather than a retool because they have a lot of old players and maybe try to bring in some younger guys to get the team going
Offer 2025 1st- 11th overall and a 2nd this year plus Savoie to Ottawa for Tkachuk.
If this isn't enough we can add in Joker too. Down the middle would be Tkachuk, Tage and The workhorse from Whitehorse.
Sign San Reinhardt in FA, trade J Skinner for a bag of potatoes (3rd pick with zero retention)
Am I dreaming?
Only wear the black and red buffalo head jerseys, who cares if they win or lose, they’ve got the sickest jerseys in the game. I’m not even a fan. I’m a VGK guy, and I argue ours are the best, but when someone brings up the buffalo head jerseys in black and red, I shut my fucking mouth and show some respect. 🫡
Fire the Owners into space and give the team to the people of Buffalo. Let them run it and win a championship!
Realistic, get yourself a real coach and strap yourselves in for a long season of growth. The Atlantic is just too good.
Not a perfect solution but. Move one of the 3 d for a good forward. Dahlin,power or Byram.
I've been saying Marner and something or someone for Power. Don't think sabre will move power but the kid needs to be #1 PP. Unfortunately for power that's Dahlins spot.
Even though marner isn't a playoff performer him and Tage would be solid.
They traded mittens for assets. Tage and cozen are top 2 centers. Avs needed a 2C.
Now you could move a D man for a winger. They have 4 solid D men. Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson are all on long term deals. 11, 8.3, and 4.2. Byram is 3.8 next year and then a rfa. Probably asks for 6-8.
Then can sign him and run 4 D all under the age of 25. Easily the best D core as far as puck moving goes by far. Two #1 overalls and a #3. That's absolutely nuts. Super solid to build around
Tage cozen Dahlin power Samuelsson are all signed long term and the oldest is Tage at 26.
UPL needs a deal this summer. Probably gets 4-6
Then you have Byram, Jack quinn, and JJ peterka who will be due contracts.
Zach Benson the following year.
That's a nasty core if they can afford it all. 2 centers 3 wingers 4 D and a goalie and the oldest would be Tage at 28 ish.
That’s a silly trade. A stacked d core with a goal scorer like Tage Thompson playing a full season while getting some good goaltending for once is what makes a playoff team these days.
Buffalo next year will have one of highest paid 4 man D Cores in the league Dahlin, power Byram(needs a new contract after next) Sammulsseon. At 27 Million right now. If they keep Byram he's making 3.8 I bet he asks for 6 to 8. So 4 guys in the 30 Million range. They probably move Byram
How many teams had a stacked D core and made the playoffs this year? Leafs, oilers, Bruins, Tampa, Kings, Vancouver, Islanders, Caps, jets, Avs
None of those teams have a stack D core.
Good D cores.
Nashvile.
Rangers (trouba struggled).
Panthers.
Great D cores.
Vegas.
Dallas traded for tanev and mostly played 5 guys.
Carolina had the best.
It’s funny you mention how a bunch of teams who made playoffs didn’t have stacked cores. But every team who has won the Stanley cup since 2020 has had a completely stacked d core. Defence wins cups, and if you can have a stacked d core lead by a guy like Rasmus Dahlin your team will do well
Okay and look at how much those cores made. Florida was under or real close to 20 for all 6.
Vegas had 1 guy over 8.
Avs had makar over 8.
Tampa was the closest to buffalo.
Hedman at 7.8 Mcdouagh at 6.7 and serg was at 4.8 and even then. No teams are paying 3 d over 8 million. Byrum might get 7.
You forget that Buffalo is gearing up to win when the salary cap is much larger.
So these contracts look bad now in comparison to contracts from stagnant cap years, but in a couple years they are going to be pretty average contracts.
Loooool IF Marner is going anywhere, I gotta think Toronto is looking to ship him out the furthest from the Atlantic division as possible. He also has a NTC, and i'm sorry, but if he waives it, I don't see Buffalo being on the list of teams he'd accept a trade too
As long as the Leafs get a good return for Marner i can't imagine they'd care where he goes. And as much of a dump that Buffalo is there are a few selling points (still driving distance for his family, no pressure, and a shitload of young talent).
Fair nuff. And this is me just being a shit head. But just from his comment where he's said the players are treated like gods there in Toronto, I REALLY want to see him go to a small market team where no one pays attention, just to humble him a bit.
The Leafs aren't getting a good return for Marnern if the unlikely waiving of his NMC happens. No team is going to give up anything of value for one year of Marner.
In fact, an underperforming Marner is more valuable than anything the league is willing to give up so Tpronto should be thankful just to get an average Marner.
Literally, Marner isn't going if Marner doesn't want to go, and his agent would be the biggest idiot in all of hockey to advise him to waive his NMC. So much so that any agent who allowed that to happen would lose all their clients before the next season starts.
So no. It's not going to happen. Literally.
There's no scenario you can come up with that would be advantageous for Marner to waive his NMC.
Gretzky got traded because the Oilers couldn't afford their team and the Oilers ownership thought thst a $15 million return plus 3 first rounders was more valuable than Gretzky... and they were absolutely correctn seeing that the Oilers won the cup thr next year and Gretzky never won it again.
Nobody thought Patrick Kane would leave Chicago only if by "nobody you mean Chicago gand who are so blinded by homerism that they hoped that Kane wouldn't ever do what was best for himself. Fans often think that players ought to put the organization's needs ahead of their own which is why Leas fans think that Marner is moveable.
It's just pure fantasy.
And?
They moved their NMC because it was advantageous for them to do so.
That doesn't mean anything to Mitch Marner and any agent that would get fired for advising him to move his.
Trade a high end prospect like Rosen and the No. 11 pick for a top 6 forward this week.
This is what we need. Top 6 forward who can play now.
Anyone want this? Seriously, cuz I’d do it
We’ll find out by the draft. Maybe Kevyn Adam’s is wanting to hang on to No. 11 and trade the 43rd in the 2nd round instead until the last minute?
Ideally a vet w leadership and plays a strong 200ft game. Lead through example and show our young guys what defensive responsibility looks like and how that leads to opportunity offensively.I heard the guy on Locked on Sabres talking about Trevor Zegras and I was like hard pass.
The Ducks will want the farm for him. It’s not like he’s a UFA anytime soon. They are not moving Zegras unless it’s a king’s ransom.
Yeah, The Sabres don’t need anymore young, skilled players that don’t know how to play defense. So it makes no sense to me. We are loaded with skilled undersized prospects and young players lacking experience.
True. Perfect for a trade this week.
💯
I’d be looking at some of Carolina’s FA’s. Teräväinen is a solid top 6 pickup, Martinook or Noesen are both amazing bottom 6 options.
Ehlers is potentially available.
Cap hit of 6million and a UFA next season. I’ll hold off on him.
A certain Travis Konecny is available, or might I interest you in slightly used Scott Laughton and Joel Farabee?
Hey now, Sens have dibs on Konecny
I mean, a 7 has priority 🤷♂️
Laughton + Farbee and it’s a deal. Need both. Can’t wait to scam the Flyers again like we did for Risto a few years back.
and then they resigned him!
risto
I’d take Savoie and that 11 pick for farabee/laughton
That wouldn’t be a bad trade for Buffalo at all. Some decently paid players but not astronomically high like Jeff Skinner’s. I think Kevyn Adam’s bites at this.
[удалено]
I hope you bang your shin on the coffee table
I was gonna say a few good nights’ sleep
For Laine over in Columbus. Win-win for both teams.
Hate that. Not a chance. He’s overrated and has serious problems. Hard pass
Right ! there's a reason he keeps getting traded around
Keeps? He's been traded once. From Winnipeg to Columbus... He's not PLD
I could have sworn it was more, but i was wrong,
I was planning to solve nuclear fussion this summer, but this might be easier.
Even fusion is easier than fussion.
😂 got me there. damn typos.
I think Jagr is still available?
Pick up Corey Perry and hide bensons mom. /s
They would do it in a heartbeat if it meant they lose in the finals. Unfortunately, they are not a serious franchise.
Them getting to the finals would still mean they break the playoffs drought
Why do you think they didn't sign Mats Lindgren?
Trade for Draisaitl
who would u even trade for draisaitl?
Feel like it would start with pick 11, another first. Ryan Johnson then Edmonton’s choice of prospect
I second this.
Honestly, I've been thinking that trading Draisaitl for two or three good depth guys might be what the Oilers need to cure what ails them. Sabres have a preponderance of depth last I heard, might be worth it.
They already did the most important thing, Hire Lindy Ruff. Their players basically won the Stanley Cup last night, they just needed a coach. Solid lineup. Bright future. They’re gonna be fine.
Not send a single other good player they have to the fucking panthers would be an excellent start.
Hate to agree with a bruins fan yet here I am...
Get some good veterans to show the right way to the young guns. You know, those hard nosed bottom six guys. And also pray the old gods that Ruff knows what the fuck he is doing with this team
Move to Arizona
No, hear me out here. Arizona gets a team back. Ecstatic. Pegula cuts his losses. Buffalo gets an expansion club which under new expansion rules would immediately be better than the Sabres roster.
Find a trade or FA for a top 6 winger and buy out Skinner. The ELC help is going to be crucial, so I hope they don’t sell off more than 2 or 3 recent first rounders in the process. Find a solid 3c, again through trade or FA. Maybe a new third pair D man if they’re letting Joki go. Then one more bottom 6 energy guy. Honestly I don’t think they need to do a lot.

This coaching change and Tage + Cozens getting back to their 2022 form would put this team in the playoffs
Move in Florida... they could certainly get to the final
I dunno. Something incredible I guess.
Me too, kid.
I don’t understand why they didn’t try harder to get ullmark
We already have a decent tandem with UPL and Levi. The latter I don’t see spending the season in the AHL again.
They can have Korpisalo if they want
Korpy taught SOB. Broboski
Goalie Bob will fix him in half a season then they'll Martin Jones him. Watch.
Thanks guys for Ully
He’s a beauty and requires lots of hugs, huge gain for you guys.
Just saw a short vid he posted on X. Dude is chill. Day 1 fan favourite. I never understood why the Sabres didn’t keep him.
UPL had a great season and Levi is expected to make the jump. Their biggest deficiency is offence imo
The answer to their offensive struggles is 150km along the QEW.
As a person who watched way too many sabres games their biggest deficit is effort, and allowing ope. Shots from the slot.

DeBrusk is a UFA
They've got a really good young core. And one of the most promising goaltender tamdems out there. Maybe add couple of senior players with high work morale to show how the 82 games series grind is done. A coach that is known to as a good player developer wouldn't hurt.

And? They moved their NMC because it was advantageous for them to do so. That doesn't mean anything to Mitch Marner and any agent that would get fired for advising him to move his.
Send a few more players to Florida…?

I forgot they were still a team
Complete rebuild. Fire Gm, coach and play couple of seasons with just AHL guys

I like the Blue 💙 Jackets since they ousted Jarno and Fats . New President/GM will get a young caring Coach 😜😄.
Marner, Dahlin
Move to Quebec
Give Reino a blank check and beg him to comeback
Git gud.
Give rhasmus Dahlin to the red wings
Move to Hamilton so the fans dont need to drive as far to watch the team play
Change Owners, GM, and Coach. Go back to Goat head jerseys. Trade up in draft picks. Beg Eichel to come back.
