5 mill I would take him and I hate bringing back old players. I'd take Ryan Miller also.

I don’t remember the page this was on but it’s a response to your terms for signing simmonds, catch up to now guy
- washedup20


Only thing i said was i guess i wouldn’t hate it if we signed him short term (like 1-2yrs)
That was in response to OTHERS who were saying they wanted him

I do NOT though
I also said he’s clearly declining
And I’d rather look for toughness elsewhere
And that i highly doubted he’d sign that type deal with us anyways

I think there are some deals to be made with Tampa Minny and Vegas that would make sense for all parties involved

https://www.capfriendly.c.../armchair-gm/team/1215493

That's what I came up with but you could easily swap packages with Minny and Vegas and get similiar returns

I’m done with Minnesota trades.

Far too many have been made in recent years and far too little to show for it.

So, we need a 2c, top 6 winger and an upgrade to the D. Realistically, and not pie in the sky, who is an option?

For example, because of the lack of Sabres success and potential bidding for his services, I would imagine Duchene is not realistic at 2C. Who is?

Compher 32 points, we have enough average players on this team, pass.
- SABRES 89


In 66games though
Kid was on pace for 20g-20a-40pts in his 2nd year
That would be pretty good for a 3C if u ask me

Would be a hell of a lot cheaper than paying Hayes 6mil or more for the 20ish goals he scores

Why do i still see people putting Larry/Johan Larsson in our lineup next year as a 3 or 4C?????

Ya'll forget that he signed to go play in Sweden or whatever? HE GONE.


Now Sobotka... looking at you... and not Frank Sobotka.. he got what was coming to him at the docks.

Not only was it not confirmed, his agent flat out said it's completely false. The Swedish team, don't remember, echoed those sentiments.

I thought we had this covered already.

His impacts weren't that special. Believe it or not, Erod provides much more positive impact than Compher.

Finesse the Penguins into moving Maatta for some of our dead weight and or picks.


He's not great, but he's better than mccabe and scandella. move the former in a package for fwd talent and the latter for literally anything.

- Sabresfan-365

Eh. He’s kinda dead weight away from Letang

On pace for 20goals in year 2
Fancy stats aside, that’s pretty good
And again, year2...
so he’s got plenty of time to improve his all around game

Can always play Compher on the Wing too

If he’s coming back as part of a trade,
I’d be ok with it

Apparently the guy reporting that in Sweden is a hack

Larsson’s Agent flat out denied it

Dang it.... I was hoping that 1.9M would come off the books... I certainly don't want to give him a pay increase. Not like he deserves a 2.5M AAV.

Him & Girgs actually did a respectable job on line4 last year
Decent Corsi numbers at least
Especially consider they had close to 70% Dzone starts if i remember right

But yeah, neither are worth 2mil since they don’t really score

I posted yesterday the last few trades involving players that have been made with Minny starting with Pommer (when we trade him there).

They’re very underwhelming.

projections:

2 years at 1.8 or 3 years at 2.5

These projections from Evolving Wild have been very accurate.

- TheSabresTaco

Then dont resign him. He isnt worth it. Sign another 4th line center for a million.

We need to stop mismanaging our cap.

Zucker seems like a great fit though
Can scores goals & he’s pretty fast

His playoff numbers worry me though

Also... why does Minny seem to want to move him so badly?

He’s not very good in his own end.
Because he’s invisible in the playoffs.
His cap hit isn’t that great.
They want to spend the money elsewhere.
Suter and Parise’s deal are unmovable and still have 6yrs left.
Did I mention he’s not very good in his own end and sucks in the playoffs?

He had decent numbers with Riikola while receiving heavy DZS.
