It’s the perfect fit.

He’s it. He’s the guy. If another team lands him I’ll be very disappointed
- sbroads24

Well I hope you are not disappointed!!

Really comes down to the number he asks for. Cause I doubt the Sabres acquire him as a pure rental. There'd have to be a deal. But I bet EDM would do it without one.

Are you willing to give Pesce the Severson deal, both in term and AAV?

Last I checked, they can't jedi mind-trick other teams into making every trade that they want (or to convince players to waive NMC)
- Slump Buster

No one is asking them to do that.

The Sabres literally share every year how much they tried, no other teams do this.

Do you have the Sabres phones tapped...? 😆😅😂
- kingcong39

Yes because they didnt install the jammers like Lou Lamoreillo did when he took over the leafs.

- kingcong39

Yes
Edit - 6 years would be my target.

No, but it's the Organizations fault for falling down the sh!t tunnel for as long as they have!

No Excuse!!!
Adams should have compelled him to agree.
- IonSabres

Well doesn't really matter if it was his fault does it ? Really a Organizational thing that affected the Team that he is in Charge of.

If it’s either giving him that or just adding another Lyubushkin on D I think the choice is clear

It isn't yet of course. But If we pretend the perfect combination of Age/contract length/AAV/production is going to be made available, and in the meantime balk at players like Severson or Pesce (Even Chychrun), we will be left with scraps

would be very unserious to walk away with another lyubushkin.

That'll be pricey, no?

It saves them 9.5 mil total. They save a ton of cap this year. Its really only bad in 25-26, they get tagged with 4.7 mil on their cap I believe.

Seriously? You also speak as if they don't make moves.

This goes to show you that you don't have to be smart to be an NHL GM. 99% of the population knew that OEL was in rapid decline and had a bad contract.

They were so hot to get rid of Eriksson's contract all they did was extend it with a different name.

He only had like a year or two left on it as well. A weird trade all around. They are proper screwed.

Would we take a shot at him as a reclamation project?

Id take him over Lyubushkin but wouldnt be a high priority for me.

a prospect not making himself available to teams is red flaggy.
- TheSabresTaco

He's not a redflag buffalo will trade up if he's available they're not scared

He's just been through alot

Ewww, you serious?

You don't build a team like that.

Mostly serious? I dont think theyll move Lyubushkin, but I would.

Thanks for this.

- Michael Ghofrani

That would be horrible.

Boosh is a solid third pair guy IMO. Can move up the lineup if needed. Not a liability(in his own zone) like OEL is.

I just don't think that Lyubushkin is good and he isnt a good fit. It's also marginal move so I dont really care either way.
- Michael Ghofrani

IMO would be a step backwards. Boosh does things OEL does not. That this teams needs more of. Not less of
