Or they could draft one of the Swede or the Finish defensemen this draft and play him right away...

????? I hope you're not suggesting to take him that high ?

Dahlin is next year btw

I'd prefer something like this:

Risto Player X
McCabe Player Y
Bogo Guhle
Falk

Player Y could be an early 30's type veteran that can be a 4 guy that can move down to the 3rd pairing when Guhle is ready.

The hard part of course is finding that top pairing guy with Risto.
- Stripes77

For player Y, perhaps Dennis Seidenberg? He's older and is a lefty, which may negate things, but I believe he has played well this year at a bargain rate.

All depends on where they are selecting

Only signed through next season. It won't hurt you at all cap wise.

I was more thinking it was due to him not being very good unless he is being given PP time.

My kid and wife went to Lake Placid for the weekend. There were skating on that rink Sunday night.

That is true but it seems he's going to be like Chychrun in this year's draft .. this is why we need to get a late first round pick

it's 40 days from the end of the season. The season ends on April 8th. 40 days before April 8th is February 28th. I counted like 3 times.

Edit:

You'd think they'd be more clear about this kind of thing lol

Seems like so far everyone we don't want winning is winning everything.

If Kane were to sign for $6 million per I would be okay with it.

Then it would be up to Murray to move out the Gorges, Moulson and Bogo contracts and to draft well to replenish the bottom 6.

It would be a Blackhawk type team very top heavy but they get away with it (or did for so long) because of great drafting.

Problem is they are routinely trading guys out. It's worked, but they also won 2 cups before they had most of their cap locked up in a few guys/

They were talking about this on WGR yesterday morning (which I don't normally listen to, but yesterday I did for some reason). The Blackhawks only have six guys that were on the team through all of their cups: Kane, Toews, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook, and Hjalmarsson. The question for the Sabres is, assuming they get to that level of "great", is Evander Kane good enough to be part of a core that you lock up for big money? If not, you absolutely have to move him.

Right now, however, to me, there are two players on this team that are "lock up at all costs" worthy: Eichel and Ristolainen.

Seidenberg in 20th among D men in Points per 60 with at least 200 min played.

Wouldn't be a bad 1 year add

Not surprising.

Eichel, ROR (Contract), Risto, Okposo, McCabe, Reinhart would be my 6

He's dead to Murray after FA day.

Isn' this the guy that Murray thought he signed last summer?

If we can't sign the necessary 2D in free agency, then we're probably going to have to give up one of these or Kane.

+ Lehner (at a reasonable price).

Love how he's playing and there will be a huge hole on LW when he leaves but I think he won't re-sign in Buffalo for a reasonable price.
