umm... did you not read what i posted?

They didn’t have to trade him players request trades all the time It that situation he had the power with ROR being signed long term

you are probably right on this.. i dont think we have much of a shot at a UFA but who knows. But i don't really want another band aide like we got in the ROR trade

Unless we trade for Karlsson I think RNH is the target it’s meh to me but It’s the situation we put our self in

Hogwash. No one knows what can be enticing to a player.
- TheSabresTaco

So do you think that these free agents would have interest in Buffalo? I just don't see it.

Let's say Columbus and Buffalo offer Duchene the same money and term. What team would he pick?

It makes sense for us, but losing more offense makes zero sense for the Oilers

Anyone think we put tage in a package for a center or is he pretty much safe

Your basically getting 40 points a year maybe with mcDavid he’s at 50

It’s pretty much a wash 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let's ask Matt after both teams talk to him.

It wasn't too long ago Jeff Skinner CHOSE to join the Sabres.

Depends if the other team actually wants him and what is coming back. Variables are endless.

Unless your name plate has EICHEL or DAHLIN on the back... I'm not sure I'd say anyone is totally "off limits" or "safe" to be here next year.

I'd trade everyone else on this team if it meant improvement.

I get that but Skynrd hasn't re-signed yet.

I'm just of the opinion that big name free agents will pass on the Sabres. And that sucks because Matt Duchene is a perfect 2C here.

I’m just hoping we don’t go half ass and trade for Wennberg that be such a buffalo move

My man 🤔😎..

So Sam is not safe 😏

Who? Risto? Risto is gonna play with McDavid?

Or are you saying RNH had 50 points? He had 70. I feel like you have a bunch of different thoughts here

what value does he even carry right now.. i don't think including him really pushes the needle when it comes to a 2nd line center type player

The story hasn't faltered since day 1. There's "mutual interest". That's more than anyone can say about Bread N Bob

Sam, Montour, Risto, and Casey would take a special package IMO but it doesn't mean that they would be off the table for me.

Hard pass.

I'm of a firm believer that I still think Skinner resigns here. All of the big heads said they are still having positive conversations.

Who? Risto? Risto is gonna play with McDavid?

Or are you saying RNH had 50 points? He had 70. I feel like you have a bunch of different thoughts here
- jcragcrumple

I’m saying with playing with mcDavid it’s probably going to add 10 more points pp or passing him the puck

I feel RNH is just a 50+ point player maybe he will get another 60+ someday but that’s his career total

I get that but Skynrd hasn't re-signed yet.

Depends on what we offer to pay honestly. We haven't had a problem bringing in UFAs but it's overpaying the wrong guys. KO, Ehrhoff, etc.

I think it would have to be Skinner OR Duchene to pay that kind of money. 8+M area

Probably a player like Wennberg lol 😂

Hard pass.
- mhp

I’m with you lol

FWIW, on the ride home yesterday, Schopp said some Sabres news could be coming down today.

I know he's a class A know-it-all douche, but he said a "source" told him that there was a possibility of some news today.

Figured I'd share it. Not sure if anyone else heard it.

Probably a player like Wennberg lol 😂

for our 4th line.. sure

“If” we had the choice I would take Duchene he’s the more complete player but I Would be super happy if we still get skinny
