Yep this would make too much sense so the Sabres won’t do it…..

Hm, I suppose they'd have to give Lindgren a Tokarski-style contract. I believe he'd be eligible but don't hold me to that

Could do that but then the Sabres have no one to expose unless they feel like giving Marty Biron a 1-year contract. 45 year old Marty > Hutton?

It's been mentioned but the Coyotes could lose Adin Hill if they elect to protect Kuemper.

Coyotes need picks. Sabres have lots of picks.



Same situation as the Canadiens though. I think they'd need a goalie to expose

That Goalie from Colorado Annunen would be intriguing.

Yep - often what is public perception and reality are two different things. BUT, the fact adams gave us state of the Sabres speech and never mention #9 means he’s got to be gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a deal in place, or close and the trade isn’t being made now cuz the acquiring team doesn’t want to have to use a spot to protect him. Sabres don’t have an issue with protecting him

Good post, although I imagine the Sabres would be taking on at least 1 player who would need to be protected.

Picks are fine, young 1st or 2nd year guy....

Plus a protected player imo

You can expose an RFA G, unlike D/F. McNiven meets the req for Mon.

Yep probably right unless that veteran coming back is a salary dump that you could expose? It’s hard to speculate the offer(s) they’re getting

That's reasonable:

I still see a la kings trade of :
Byfield [2nd year] guy not protected
1st rounder 2021
1st rounder 2022
Iaffalo - needing protection
Cap dump (quick)

So yes, quick exposed in this goalie market / expansion would be safe.

Why upgrade goaltending if we are moving eichel/ sam and looking to pick early.

Would rather trade for a developing goalie from the past draft or 2 and have him ready for 2023-24.

Byfield
Cozensons
Mitts
Girgs

Let these guys grow and enjoy the nhl, but welcome to tankville.... no real goaltending....

Ullmark see the most intriguing off season move.
Is he a tank goalie?

I'm a delusional optimist, Boss. I think Donnie Meatballs is going to surprise people this year. He's gonna be like Teddy Nolan but with X's and O's. These guys are going to do better than the projected bottom-5 finish.

Get that man 2 goalies and watch what he can do
