Have to give to get, so can appreciate folks including a valuable piece but I don't get that one at all. To me he's Caufield with slightly lesser shot (not by much) but an insane motor. I think he'll make the team next year personally.

Doesn't matter. The fans want to make the playoffs this season. If that means moving Savoie, Portillo, Kulich, Rosen or Ryan Johnson, so be it.

savoie isn't being moved in any reasonable offer. If he's traded, you're getting a player like jason robertson.

hey now that you're the tampa agm can you send us kucherov for a 7th

i would like him to live close to me for... for reasons.

Yeah, but Benning is a nice Add. Take Savoie out and add Ostlund and take the 2024 2nd out.
- Buff36

he's not that nice to include one of our top 5 guys.

Ostlund is not getting enough credit around these parts. he's an extremely good player.

Maybe I'd do Benning and Timo for top 5 1, VGK 2, Ostlund, Mittelstadt/Olofsson.

From your lips to God's ears. High expectations.

Man I keep coming back to
Which prospect ?
Why ,? Because he's not developed yet

If I was Adams I'd be terrified to trade these kids

Could be trading a really good player

IAm all In for Meir

1st and 3 seconds
Could fill defense depth for years

I get it gotta grow a pair
But you don't wanna make a mistake

Gotta pay to get veteran help
But which one do you trade

Can anyone recall the last time a team's best prospect was traded before he played a single professional game?

Does Adam Fox qualify as this? I'd say no because he wasn't viewed as the best prospect at the time.

Olofsson, Savoie and a 23 1st for Meier is a lot, and is more then San Jose is going to get.
- kingcong39

100%. The sellers (team trading away the player) haven’t gotten a good returns

From your lips to God's ears. High expectations.
- lacaprup

That's based on knowing a little something about our boy Kevo.

Savoie is not being moved and they will not pay Meier 9 mill a year.

Savoie is the Sabres best non-NHL prospect?

Savoie is a big part of the "brings in talented players" resume slot for KA. Whether through transaction or his own play, he has to be a hit.

My Timo offer is conditional 1, Rosen, + small add like a 3rd

I really hope they don't blow this. We aren't one piece away.

- SABRES 89

and there you have it.

Savoie is the Sabres best non-NHL prospect?
- kingcong39

Undoubtedly. Ranks are all over the place due to the plethora of high end youngins we have, but he's at the top of the list IMO. I think Kulich jumped Ostlund and Rosen, not Matty.

So hinging everything on Matt Savoie probably isn't the best move.

subjectively yes

based on most outlets.

- ImThatGuy

I would be okay with that. It’s his contract that is the problem.

Like 89 said. It’s the contract. A guy who hasn’t put in the work with this organization would then be given the biggest contract.

I doubt that

Dahlin will get that Not Meier.

and there you have it.
- TheSabresTaco

Still fun to talk about though, I liked this particular edition of armchairing.

Undoubtedly. Ranks are all over the place due to the plethora of high end youngins we have, but he's at the top of the list IMO. I think Kulich jumped Ostlund and Rosen, not Matty.
- RhinoFan

But he has to rank under every player that made team Canada U20 at forward. We have other prospects who made that tournament and outplayed several team Canada players. It's debatable Savoie is the #1 prospect.

My Timo offer is conditional 1, Rosen, + small add like a 3rd
- ImThatGuy

I bet that's pretty close to the return.

The 8-11 mill a year players on defense will be Dahlin and Power not Chychrun.

So hinging everything on Matt Savoie probably isn't the best move.
- lacaprup

I'm not, just really high on him and we have a lot of hinges to choose from...more than we can play in fact. The trick is to keep the right ones.

- RhinoFan

To me, Kulich is their number one, and it's a horse race between Ostlund and Savoie for 2nd.
