Has Kim been promoted recently???

If Brandon Biro makes the big club, she will have added GM to her resume

It will be Boeser and Demko for Sam, Hutton and the rights to Pilut

That's a pretty good scenario there Camel, the only thing is I don't see Vancouver doing that because they would actually be adding Cap not getting rid of it.

Spector's has a interesting article on Vegas and who might be available if they want to try and resign Lehner. Karlsson is interesting as is Rielly Smith, Tuch has already been brought up here.

You never know as they may have another trade lined up right behind that one to shed some cap

Very true, would you take Virtanen in that scenario as a dump.
Edit: never mind thought he had 1yr left, he's a RFA this year.

Marchessault is really interesting if on the block

big time playoff guy

Smith and Karlsson have been on my wish list for years, but I doubt they move Karlsson with one year of Stastny left as those two anchor the top 6 on the dot

Baertschi would probably be their dump contract to take

My contacts aren't in. Is that Ray Sheppard? By far the greatest comparison to Sam in Sabres team history brought to you by your friendly neighborhood 3ER

Henrique has negative value. His contract is higher then his value on ice. He is someone that I would want a player to TAKE him, not give up something for him.

He’s okposo in 1 year for 4 more years.

- Fattony1187


Maybe, but at least we'd be getting rid of Okposo and getting a useful player for now

I think you are way overvaluing Henrique here and this would go down as one of the worst trades in Sabres history. Throwing away the 8th overall in a strong draft when we have few prospects for an aging center with 3 years left on his contract that pays him pretty well. I think that is crazy, Okposo has what one year left and had value on the 4th line last year. Move away and aim higher.

3 years left
- jcragcrumple


Is the 8th pick worth the difference between an old Henrique or Okposo? No. Henrique makes 5.825 a year for 3 more years. If we made that trade we would all be looking at who was picked at 8 and saying damn, he could have been a Sabre but all we have is this lousy old guy counting down the days to retirement.

I don't know but can Olofsson play RW cause Marchessault is a LW I believe.

Which one March or Olofsson. If you are talking about Marchessault, you are probably right, just going of what Spector's said.

Tuch and Karlsson for
Rhino-Rusto and 2nd round 2021 and could add McCabe if need be.

Henrique is marginally better than okposo if at all. Wait a year and work out a deal with Seattle, or trade him after the bonus is paid.

Sign Haula (2 years at 3-3.5)
Trade for Bozak
Trade Montour for Tuch
Dont burn a year on Cozens ELC

Olofsson Eichel Reinhart
Skinner Bozak Tuch
Mojo Haula Kahun

Would be a decent top 9

The following year evaluate Cozens to see if he is ready for the 2nd line, if not go after a vet on an expiring contract.

My offer to Boss still stands - I will give his niece my Reinhart autographed Sabres hat in exchange for never hearing about Reinhart again.

The hat even comes with a bonus Latvian Larry signature

It's a great deal

Dahlin-Miller

Joker switches with Miller by mid way next year.

Risto, Asplund, Thompson, add the 2021 first if you have too to acquire somebody who can hold their own as a 2C next year.

- Pegullaville


Cozens should be on line2 or line4 in that scenario
U really want him on a line getting 60% d zone starts?

Sounds like a real possibility that the Blue Jays will play their home games here at Sahlen Field ... and ya know what ? That's actually pretty cool ! Hope it happens.

Disagree strongly. Okposo is a 3rd/4th line grinding winger. Henrique was on a 30 goal pace as a center. We need the latter desperately. We don't need Okposo at all

- jdfitz77

It was just something brought up by EK, and said that if they find away to resign Markstrom that Demko could be a trade chip. 4 Teams have talked to the Canucks about Demko and the Sabres are one of them. Some reporter from Vancouver said there's less than 10% chance both are back next year.
