So based on rumors and inside information the Sabres are in on:
PK / tolvanen
Kessel
Toffoli
Zucker
Vesey
Hopefully one of these pans out tonight or tomorrow before the draft. - Sabretooth9
PK/Tolvanen for 31 I wonder if that gets it done |

If we take on all of the Subban contract Botterill wants him also. - SABRES 89
That seems kind of odd - it isn't like PK has 6 years left. He seems reasonably priced for term and quality of player - not sure why it would need to be sweetened. |

Do you really think jbotts has gone "all in" at winning?
I think he wanted dahlin/,tkachuk - Boss34

Jonny Brodzinski also from the Kings also, a call to inquire about Laine. - SABRES 89
I heard Martin Jones for 2nd time?
Partial cap dump/ upgrade at goalie
Any word on this happening?
Jones was terrible last season, but under contract for 5 more years |

Something along the lines of he now has a new lease on his playing career and wants to get to training and get ready for next year. - SABRES 89
well, cool. folks should temper their expectations, but I'd definitely take him here on a low risk contract. He's a style of player we need. |

Improve the defense .... the goalies get better. The goalies were often left to dry post winning streak.
Although Hutton was pretty bad after late December and on [url] |

I knew that contract was negative value. Not sure what to make of Tolvanen.. B+, A- prospect? I see him developing as a middle 6 forward. We need those. So fine. - TheSabresTaco
A+. The top prospects rankings last Summer: Dahlin, Svechnikov, Pettersson, Heiskanen, Mitts, Zadina, Tolvanen.
It's a big ask, which makes me think they are no where close to a deal.

but... he's not. Hence, Nashville wanting to get rid of him and Botterill asking Nashville for one of their best forward prospects. |

Hi, nice to be seen.
I noticed we completely disagree on jbotts future.
He has done very little to improve this team.
Mostly working on killing off terrible contracts the past 2 seasons.
Why wouldnt he want to pick top 4 last year or top 10 this year? |

It depends what you consider to be top-grade. He was recently a norris finalist - it isn't like he fell off a cliff |

Ok play him 2nd or even 3rd pairing. Still worth acquiring |

I don't disagree with JBott's future. No one knows it. I disagree with the idea that he lost on purpose. But you know that.
And, obviously, everyone 'wants' Dahlin. Win, lose, and everything in between, 31 teams want him. |

Saying Tolvanen is still an A+ prospect is like saying Subban is still a norris caliber d-man.
Both 'awards' were a year ago and both players have declined/not improved in that span. Their on ice value isn't really where it used to be. It has the potential to be a good buy low option, or a terrible overpay. |

So we hate Zach Bogosian at 1 year for 5+ million playing 2nd/3rd pair minutes, but are dying for Subban's 9M in the same role?
I love this place. |

Don't think that's true, but fine, dial it down a notch and say he's a comparable prospect to Mitts.

It's just in talking stages regarding all the players that were mentioned, he knows the roster has to change but will do it accordingly. |

So you’re saying size doesn’t matter?
Asking for majority of posters on here... - washedup20
Size matters, but it's really only important when you get close enough to the target. |
