They are going to offfer sheet someone big with their $3m in cap space??? Seems really likely to me.

1. we're still not even close to being a playoff team. those draft picks will be high and that player likely wont push us over the top
2. we have no cap space
3. everything else written on here is incorrect

carry on everyone

1. I hate this argument. I have ZERO interest in worrying about a draft pick that is currently 14 years old. Following the thought that he wont play until year 3, tour taking about Eichels 11th or 12th years...yeah...no thank. Move NOW.

Reports indicate that at some stage of their lives everyone in the NHL was 14

It will be Brock Boeser then the Sabres will workout a trade with Vancouver and send Risto to them for Boeser.

Has Marner been traded yet? It is August 1 after all.

Except that Boeser isn’t eligible to be offer sheeted...

Some folks just look at facts as a hassle.

You do realize they could get to $10m easy by trading Risto and Scandella, right? Trades are allowed. In saying this, Buffalo isn't offersheeting anyone

OFFER SHEET? SABRES!!!! Holy crap. This is the first time this summer I've heard an offer sheet rumour. It must be true.

My source has confirmed the AVs will not match the offer and then OS Marner.

I think Marner is better than everyone in the NHL not named McDavid. I would rather keep Marner than 4 1st round picks.

HOWEVER four Buffalo 1st round picks could be (frank)ing amazing!

In real Sabres news...

Remi Elie was scheduled for arbitration today. The Sabres avoided that and signed him to a contract today.

Back-up goalie Ullmark is scheduled for a hearing tomorrow. They are likely talking about a deal as we speak.

Most importantly, Jake McCabe has a hearing scheduled for Sunday. The Sabres would certainly love to have him signed before a nasty hearing.

Pretty sure the Sabres are focussed on taking care of their own RFAs and not some mythical offer sheet to a prominent player despite having limited cap space, some of which they likely want to leave available for the performance bonuses that Dahlin will likely earn.

On the plus side, I think that the Leafs are finally going to trade for Marek Svatos.

Marner is IMO is literally the only player I would OS, I would gladly give up 4 first for him...

trying scandella without taking back a salary is bye-bye to a 1st.
