John Carlson

I don't see them moving him. Niskanen might be a more realistic target, so they can use that money to re-sign Carlson

Tomas Tatar

I don't think we have a chance of getting him but he's good for 25 goals a season.

He's 26 right now. I think he is the player he always will be, maybe an outlier season since he just hit his prime. But in a contract year, he didn't have a career season and he's in arbitration lingo probably... I don't know how it will play out for Detroit but they have just over 2 million in cap space as you pointed out earlier.

Evander Kane is looking for 6 million for similar production at the same age. Tatar is probably hoping for at least 5. Maybe we trade them straight up and its a good hockey trade but then we're still down a LW.

We're not going to tender him and Detroit would ask too much in a trade.

But he'd actually be perfect here, IMO.

He is their highest scorer but has been rumored to be available for the last 18 months. Wings have $9Million tied up at goalie (both suck).

His production is in fact nearly identical to Kane's. Hmmm.

Too lazy to look. Is he the only piece they need to fill the roster? He could get a decent raise taking most of the remaining money even with franzen on ltir

Duclair might have fallen out of favor in the desert. Would we take a chance w him on a budget deal?

Looks like Athanasiou is only other player left for them to sign. I'm down with Tatar. Like Mantha better. I think either will require the Sabres to take on one of Detroit's bad hombre contracts.

365, check out Mantha's 5v5 scoring. Holy S, he's an even strength scoring machine.

Sabres should look to make a deal with Islanders for Calvin De Haan who just filed for arbitration. Send them a prospect and one of our arbitration headaches.

Sabres should focus on getting a damn winger to play with O'Reilly. They have enough defensemen.

Right totally agree. Looked silly and it was at times, but was very serious too. Enjoyed it, I was entertained.

This sounds great. I can only guess if that is all NYI wanted for De Haan that this deal would have been done by some team.

As much as we want to trade Reinhart for a top end D, I think I want to sit pat for now. If we can get him signed on a bridge deal (3 years maybe $4.5m per) I think he can be a strong piece for us. If someone is willing to give up a top 2 D for him, I doubt that D is top 2. You just dont give those guys up.

I still want to know the cost of Muzzin or Martinez. Martinez could be a legitimate number 2 guy to cover for Risto.
