Imagine one of those wingers are Laine or Kucherov legit playing with Eichel. Sabres will be in business.
- Hatboro_Swords

Good point.

I think that's why this tank was so important to the organization.

You win with high end talent
You are more likely to find high end talent early in the draft

54th and 9th

Buffalo born?

If you can move bogo and okposo goes on LTIR, there is a long term spot for ROR on this roster
- homiedclown

$$$ isn’t the issue

Cap going up significantly
And plenty coming off in the next couple years

ROR should be moved IF:

-he isn’t seen as part of the future,
most likely bc they feel his play will drop off before we are really good

AND

-the return can get us a player(s) who we feel “strongly” will be a part of the future when we are really good


That’s the bottom line for me

how the hell would i know who is going to be available between now and in the off season?

Yesterday 89 dropped a rumour about seguin and I didn't even know his name was being thrown around
- Sabresfan-365

U can’t just say something like,
“I think we could get a guy like Vince Dunn”
Why is that so tough?

I’m not gonna rip you if it doesn’t happen

What I’m trying to say is that we better get a “core” player if we move ROR...

Late round 1sts & “b prospects” likely don’t ever get as good as ROR,
so that’s pointless to me

U feel comfortable “predicting” ROR will drop off...
u can’t say a guy you’d even like us to trade him for?

We could had Laine if we Didn’t try to fast forward a rebuild like Murray did
- gerbe75pts

Doubtful
I think we’d have been worse than where the Jets jumped up from (6th?)

Maybe we could’ve outta led the Leafs though... maybe

1 pick away from Keller & 2 from Matt Tkachuk is a kick in the nuts though

Svechnikov > Zadina imo...
but i agree with all this

Look at us being buds again!
Hahaha

I am leaning toward mayfield if we move up

(hides)

I think we are close to competing next year. 88 -92 points
Why trade a 26 year old guy in ror? Still in his prime and hungry.

If were 4 years out , why keep him?
Then hes 30 and skating like 50 year olds

We just finished 31st how do you see this happening I’m serious

If the patriots like him bills better get him

I’ve been saying for a while now that i wanna win this lotto even more than the McDavid one

A top3 pick will be a “core” piece for us

Like u said though,
Dahlin pretty much fixes the defense

If we miss on him,
still gotta figure something out

teams I see being really good for the next 4 or 5 years

tampa
leafs
flyers
jets
colorado



they have so many more pieces than we have

I think guhle, scandella and mccabe would be fine for the left if you get a really good RD to play 23 minutes a night

I am leaning toward mayfield if we move up

(hides)
- homiedclown

If we move up...

Definitely NOT Allen
Prefer Rosen
Cool with Mayfield
Not psyched about Darnold


If we stay put...

NOT Jackson
Cool with Rudolph

I do too. They need a stud defenseman.

This team would have been better off winning the 2014 lottery and losing the 2015 lottery than they would have vice versa. This team is far better with Ekblad and Eichel than it is with Reinhart and Eichel (assuming Murray would have made that pick).

Man if we move up for Josh Allen I will break my (frank)ing TV

I think guhle, scandella and mccabe would be fine for the left if you get a really good RD to play 23 minutes a night
- homiedclown

Assuming Guhle develops as we all hope
And McCabe improves his consistency

Still gonna be tough to find that 23min a night RH guy though

- gerbe75pts

Allen is my number 2. Rosen if Bills make a big jump, Allen if they make a small jump and Jackson if they stay put. If they stay put and get Jackson then they need to draft a receiver that turns into elite. D.J. Chark.

Did u watch Allen play at all?!

1)sam
2) Rosen
3) mayfield


Why don’t you like Mayfield ? Just curious

- buffalofan19

So Ekblad and Eichel > Reinhart and McDavid? That’s debatable and don’t think so. Ekblad isn’t that special.

Assuming Guhle develops as we all hope
And McCabe improves his consistency

Still gonna be tough to find that 23min a night RH guy though
- jdfitz77

Carlson?

Ekblad isn’t that special.
- Hatboro_Swords

agreed

- gerbe75pts

probably a falcon fan

Carlson?
- homiedclown

I like Carlson
But at 8mil? That’s just too much

And i wouldn’t wanna sign Karlsson or Doughty for 10mil+ either the next year
