This is Ottawa. The owner is telling the GM to sell everything and take back cheap contracts so he can find money.

Ottawa is in a bad way.

Ryan could be flipped as well for cheap, you can hold salary too.

Karlsson is one of the best D-men in the game, the Sabres need Karlsson.

Risto, ROR, Pommer, Okposo, Eichel, Karlsson, Ryan sounds like 50% of salary cap. Rasmus Dahlin sounds better.

100% agree Karlsson is top 5 defensemen in the league

Karlsson would be awesome but a cap hit of 12m might hurt us in the Future

MIGHT?

I'd rather have Brent Burns. Karlsson is a forward playing defense.

For those saying the bottom 6 doesn't make a difference compared to the top-6, please check out the Anaheim Ducks' stats. Balanced scoring up and down the lineup. Then check out the massive drop-off for the Sabres about a 3rd of the way down the page

Keep in mind, the Sabres page also omits several players who aren't here, too

If you can move O'Reilly... would be something to consider.

Burns plays forward a lot with the Sharks, we don't need any huge contracts as now.

ROR and Kane for Shea Weber

Let some other team deal with Weber and that horrible contract.

I'll take one Drew Doughty please.

I want no part of Muzzin.
- BeadyEyedDouche

If they trade Reinhart for Muzzin, I'll burn that (frank)ing arena down.

Weber has 8 more years, no way do I want that. I don't say what I hear anymore, sorry. Tired of all the people complaining and calling me out.

Nobody's saying the bottom 6 doesn't matter. What they are saying (correctly) is that a bottom 6 is irrelevant without a good top 6. The Sabres don't have that.

What ?

You've had good insight in the past. it's a shame people ruined that.

Depth scoring is the difference between bad and mediiocre imo. Look at the stats when Pouliot scores vs when he doesn't. That's the impact of depth scoring. I agree that the Sabres need 2-3 top 6 wingers though

If we had an established top 6 guys like Benoit balls would be in the bottom 6 and we'd have an average bottom 6.
