Obvious depth players imo
We don’t know what’s up with Pilut yet
Maybe he doesn’t plan on coming back this season?
I’m ok with having 8 “NHL caliber” defenseman
I still remember that Carolina series 🤬🤬🤬

Not if it means he dresses 11 & 7 again

Since they probably aren't having an AHL this year don't they need extra bodies in case of injuries?
- GilPerreault11

I don’t think this is true

Hall going back to #4


- Pegullaville

I was hoping for 91

Doesn’t this put Van in kind of a cap crunch now too, especially with Petterson and Their Jack Quinn Hughes soon.
- SDSabre

Van has plenty of cap coming off the book next year, they are absolutely fine.

90% of the teams can’t afford or Aren’t willing to take on 5.9m
- turbo044

But a top pair quality defenseman for a 3rd is well worth figuring it out
Of course that’s not as easy this season
Tough to pass up that talent so cheap though

Wish the Sabres got him

- Powerslave

Our forward depth sucked
Didn’t bother me

Three quick takes


1. hall on first team pp, olofsson and staal on second team pp is going to be huge

2. prime position to move picks, prospects and a player or 2 to upgrade goalie/d

3. sabres will be top 5 scoring team for 2021

Exactly - Davison will be sent to Rochester and Irwin will be the 7th to 8th dman hopefully
- turbo044

That’s what I’m thinking too

Oh so before he added a player such as hall it wasn't a playoff roster? Good thing he did his job by doing all he could to make it a playoff roster.

It’s still not a playoff roster

Upgrade the goaltending and it is.

If they didn't get Hall and then lost out on Toffoli (if they wanted him) maybe they would have been on him. You can only have so many skilled guys and be successful look at the Leafs. A team needs ditch diggers too.

disagree

top 6 is scary good

still have the cozens, casey, tage card


if we get good hutton has to be better then leafs

It’s still not a playoff roster
- sbroads24

Disagree- even if we dont acquire a goalie, which i think we will

Skinner Eichel Reinhart
Hall Staal Cozens
Olofsson Eakin Thompson
Girgensons Lazar Okposo

Dahlin Jokiharju
Pilut Ristolainen
McCabe Montour

Raanta (lets trade for him)
Ullmark

Bench: Reider and Hunwick

Trade Miller (maybe in the deal for Raanta)

That is a playoff team right there.

What makes u think Olofsson on PP2?
& couldn’t Staal be the net front guy in PP1 as well?

I get your point though...
we will have some talent on both PP units
That’s nice

Top5 scoring is a bit optimistic imo,
but we’ll obviously be better

- homiedclown

I think cozens plays 2nd line RW while Tage and Olofsson start on line 3. They are going to try to have 3 scoring lines for the first time since 06

Schmidt is top pair quality
He’d have been a nice add for any team that could afford him

The best thing the Knights did was get rid of him.

I think a cozens or tage gets first team pp if dahlin runs it


I am still in shock over yesterday

The problem isn't the basic number, rather the proper distribution of different types and contracts across the roster to be; economical, effective and efficient...and I say those words in sincerity.
The are overloaded at 2 & 3 RhDs now, and need decent 2LhD and a Partner for Dahlin.

Upgrade the goaltending and it is.

We don’t have Hunwick anymore,
just so ya know

I’m sure we’ll see some shuffling of the lines

agreed
- homiedclown

Snag Raanta and convince Pilut to come play in Buffalo (like he should have been able to do last year under botts watch) and things get really fun.

If they get goaltending, and let Dahlin and Jokiharju take over, maybe.

I mean I think we can agree we’re fighting for a wild card spot
