What does it take for Draisaitl?

Quinn + Dahlin + 2 1sts?

- sbroads24

Not worth it. That puts us more behind than with Eichel

a shot at mcjesus would be hard to resist even if it meant dahlin, all three firsts plus whatever else might be needed...

he doesn't have any clauses either

I’m not sold on Samuelsson. Slow hands and feet. Does not loom like an NHL defenseman

looks a sure-thing 3rd pair, hopefully better

Sabres get the #1oa pick:

Power, Cozens and all 3 firsts the Sabres have this year for McJesus.

Who says no?

- Hank Balling


Hard pass.
1oa, Vegas and Florida 1st's, Olofsson, R.Johnson, and one of our goalie prospects.

Also makes a great first pass, crisp and tape to tape. Looks confident, steady, and looks like an NHL Dman to me. But I'm no scout.

Our leading scorer is not in the top 100. It’s not really an accomplishment
- hehateme

Ummm...You are talking now right? Not when Olofsson was averaging a point a game before the injury like I said?

this is what the great one was traded for

Gretzky, McSorley and center Mike Krushelnyski went to the Kings in exchange for center Jimmy Carson, wing Martin Gelinas, first-round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993, and $15 million ($35 million in 2022 dollars)

That I'd do, Power and Cozens along with the 1oa is too much.

It would be incredibly hard to create a package I wouldn't accept

Put together any 5 first-round assets (including 3 picks) from the Sabres and I say yes

Edmonton reminds me of San Jose lots of talent and never won anything.

San Jose was always missing something to put them over the top, heart?

Kicking saves to the corner and blocker saves to the corner. Something Sabres goalies couldn't do for the last 5 years
