Now explain Ovechkin

Washington was better at moving the puck around to open it up for him. Thats what we've gotta learn.

Greenway is a bonafide third liner.

On a team full of that exact same player type.

We dont have another Greenway on the team

He does and is, but does that supercede being an Adams favorite (ie the rookies or a coveted target someone else didn't pound tables for) ?

No idea how it will unfold, but I'm anxious to start the process. LOG looks old and tired and it's only October. VO still looks like VO and Jost is a lesser Lazar. Let's start the turnover.

Some talk of Olo for Tanev, just thought I would pass it along. How that would work and who sits I have no idea.
- SABRES 89


I used to like the idea of Tanev but don't know anymore. Last RAPM graph I have is from 19-20 when I cut the membership and he was negative in every metric outside GF/60 on PP (which he played only a few minutes of). Is he an upgrade?

If he get's VO + Bryson off your roster, yes.

You want to make a statement IMO, go get Nylander from the Leafs. Start with Savoie.
- SABRES 89


Would you rather have Nylander or that D man from the Flames? Is it Anderson on the good contract people want?

they'll never trade him to us. but if it happened..

play it out. As a UFA winger, his cost is probably Sabres cond 1st and a mid prospect, maybe throw Void in there if you get lucky.

By January, you have

skin, tage, tuch, jj, coz, nyl, quinn, mitts, green, girgs, jost, krebs, okposo

13/7/3, so that core makes sense for the year.

Next, Sabres have 25M in cap space next season. Let's put Mitts at 6, 4th line at 6, ryan johnson as 1, krebs at 1, nylander at 8.5, joker at 3.5. Puts you like a mil over, with coming extensions to quinn, peterka, levi and signing upl or someone else.

Sabres aren't renting that caliber of player unless they're fighting for the division lead.

You're trading a winger to keep him. Move doesn't make logistical sense. It's hard to even make work for next year unless you're trading JJ or JQ. Even then it's a challenge. Trading Casey here doesn't make sense at all.

Think this team is better served looking at redoing the bottom 6, primarily the bottom 3.

Easy one, Anderson. 4.5m 1RD is just a perfect fit. Paying Nylander 11m? That's a tough sell here.

Easily Andersson, but yeah he's not getting moved.

It would be appropriate to restock our Rasmii though.

If that bozo gets 11M.. well he (frank)ing might. But poop.

12 year olds in Sweden getting scouted for that very reason.

I just made up a number, but isn't he pushing for 10+?

For sure there, bag of pucks is fine, just wondering what we'd be getting. You know if he's got any redeeming factors? Given our cap space and this being his last year on the books, it could work financially.

Yeah, that would be a tough one, but we could really help there rebuild with what it would take to get him.

28 year old winger that doesn't take a beating? Cap going up.. yeah, he may do 10+.
