#9 for Cat

#16 and Florida's pick to Columbus for #12 (who already pick at 6, anyway, so maybe they'd be willing).

Add a 40 goal scorer and only move down 3 spots from where you were initially.

GMing is Easy.

Let's TIM MURRAY THIS THING!

Why are u trying to move from 16 to 12?
Is there a specific guy you’re targeting in that spot?

Hell yeah he is
DeBrincat scores at a pace of 40+ goals per season
That’s pretty valuable
We’d be hoping that pick would turn into a 40goal scorer

If Jiricek somehow fell to pick9,
I’d offer 16, our FLA 1st, and even our 2nd for DeBrincat

is he 1 and done when his contract ends like reinharts did last summer?

or is there a few years left?

That's the giant question, as he could ARB his way to becoming a UFA after the 23-24 season, and his qualifying offer would be $9M after next season.

That's a tough one to take on. Contract's built to accept the QO.

Buying high like that would be the Sabres way for the past decade.

I don’t think it’s the same situation as with Sam
Reinhart had 1 more season in the NHL & was a year older than DeBrincat will be

But I’m not positive either

Worst case, DeBrincat would get a good return if we had to trade him

Some don't seem to want to think of that. Plus it sure helps having Kane dishing you.

It is not solely based on age as it is also based on years of service, in terms of whatever gets the player to UFA status the fastest.

I don’t have the hate for Eichel that a lot of u guys do
He wanted out, and i don’t think it was all that unreasonable on his part

Was he a punk?
Sure, but whatever

I for one don't "hate" the guy, but he said and did a lot of things publicly and privately to make me no longer like the guy.
