I will be at the draft so here is my wishful thinking that GMTM trades up to #2 for Laine. Can anyone imagine him on Eichel's wing with Reinhart? Sweet Lord...

Then again that offer would have to be 8th overall, 2017 1st just to have a conversation tho...
- Beezer33

For Laine?

Would cost 8th overall, 2nd round pick, 2017 1st, Sam Reinhart.

6-12 beers a evening
- cabin

lightweight

Titos, ice water, small splash of Arizona RX Stress tea.

Low calorie greatness.
- ImThatGuy

Or just have watermelon

Still not even close, IMO.

Buffalo gets the two best players in the deal by a long shot.

The original deal was Perry and Fowler.

What sense does it make to acquire Fowler with Bogosian?
- ImThatGuy

Fowler is LHD Bogosian is RHD They get Bogosian who could be a 4th/5th guy there and play PP doesn't have to be the man there and they can use him in offensive situations. Fowler bigger need for us then what Bogosian brings Perry for 8th overall as well would be fair considering what else we are giving up and what an 8th overall pick is worth...

For Laine?

Would cost 8th overall, 2nd round pick, 2017 1st, Sam Reinhart.
- bluengold12

It would just cost Sam

6-12 beers a evening
- cabin

bottle and half of whiskey a week

Sounds about right

Fowler bigger need for us then what Bogosian brings Perry for 8th overall as well would be fair considering what else we are giving up and what an 8th overall pick is worth...

But to acquire Fowler you create another hole on defense.

Bogo and McCabe played great down the stretch, keep that together to start.

It would just cost Sam

i think you both are ridiculous.. one too high and one too low.. but what do i know i am not a GM

It would just cost Sam
- GERBE!!!75PTS

No, it would cost more.

Sam and 8 most likely.

How do you know you're going to be at the draft already when tickets haven't even come out for season ticket holder or anything

The Duck dont do either of those trades, they ask for more.

Perry is an MVP type player, Folwer is a top 4 d-man.

It's going to take a lot to get both in one deal. Sam Reinhart a lot.


Also P.S. Ott is not going to STL.
- ImThatGuy

Reinhart is not going anywhere is any deal...You would hvae to think the new coach coming in wants to work w Perry not ship him out....still think the Sabres are focused on a Stamkos pitch first cause that can make the draft go many different directions...if they sign him or other FA forwards then they focus on obtaining a dman.. and if not then work on jumping up to get a high profile forward in the draft...


I wonder if GMTM entertains the idea of having Ott back from STL tho...he did say he wants those guys on his team when he left which was nice but also not needed..Ott would fit in where Legwand leaves or maybe on his wing on the 4th line..

Fowler is a top 4 dman but still signed for a bit...I am not sure they move him..Vatanen makes more sense being a RFA and yes he is a right handed d man but I still am under the belief that Guele makes the jump in 2-3 years and will match up with Risto...just need to find a short term solution even if his stick hand may be the wrong way Disco Dan said that doesnt matter to him as much when game planning

No, it would cost more.

Sam and 8 most likely.
- ImThatGuy

Did you not see Sam play this year i'm pretty sure it would just take Sam


Edit : I thought you were saying it would take that ridiculous amount

We have reps in from NYC here at work. Upper management said to wear "New york" gear.

So, of course I wore my Sabres jersey hahaha

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Because you dont move the pick for nothing short of of an over payment.

You ask for Sam and the 8. If Buffalo says no, you draft Laine.

No thank you on Ott... Unless he comes in under 2 million and realizes he'll play only half the games.... We've got a younger Ott in Deslauries and cheaper too. Enough 4th line agitators. We need speed and skill.

As for Vatanen if we get him I'm trading Bogosian if he accepts the deal no quesiton...

On the right side you'd have Ristolainen Vatanen Bogosian Pysyk Franson Nelson... That's far too deep and Bogosian with that term and dollar amount shouldn't be your bottom pairing guy. Risto doesn't seem like he'd move tot he left have to assume the same with Vatanen so it just doesn't make sense unless they can get rid of Bogosian which they probably need an upgrade over anyway...

Because you dont move the pick for nothing short of of an over payment.

2016 1st and 3rd (we have a bunch), 2017 1st, Girgensons

Z seems like the trading chip of choice i feel...he could be a top 6 or bottom 6 guy but he is great defensively just needs to round out his game again...

Larsson around for another year, Gio and Moulson are not tradeable right now, Foligno is coming along well and you cant trade on the D end because we are already so weak

Phil Kessel is making 6.8 mil a year and is playing for the Pens and prolly going to the Stanley Cup Finals this year....

Uh yeah ill have what he's having.

But how much do you drink? That's my problem. I eat fine, even exercise a little. Someone just has to hide the cooh from me.
- Khmylev

I usually remember the first 5 or 6.

The point is he could be better than what he is and I believe he could be the best player in the NHL

If that's all it took for the 2ndoverall pick I would do it in a second

But that's probably not even close
