Yikes.

That draft day trade doesn’t look great right now for Malenstyn.

I could see UPL getting a large award.

Why is a recent #9 pick an overpay for a 25 point 3/4 C?
- Lunaion


Well the 25 pt defensive 3C is something 5he Sabres don't have...so it is an improvement.

What if Savoie beecomes a 550 pt 2 way C?
Are you feeling good?
No.

Deja 05/06 all over again. Teams aren't going to know what just hit them.

Lot’s of new faces at forward

Great bottom 6 speed

You’d think Savoie was going to be The next best thing with how the Sabres are being dragged.

Maybe instead of Ehlers try and get a 2C and move Cozens to wing?

Good size, good on the dot (51%), young (24).

Good job, Kevyn.

You all wanted an overpay, but I think this is a fair trade.

Where is this 51% coming from, 49% is what I saw

- ImThatGuy


I'm surprised UPL filed. He's not in line for a big number and I doubt he wants a 1 year.

I'd bet Malenstyn agrees to a deal before it gets to a hearing. How far apart could they really be? He's done nothing in the NHL to be awarded much.

It should be right next to the Faceoff loss column you're looking at.

That will cost you more than a top 6 winger

Fine. Just make this team damn good.


Does PLD or Strome fit that from Wash?

I’ve been saying the Sabres have needed speed for over a year 😂😂

Speed and skill.

We finally have a few players with high motors

- Sabretooth9


Speed, skill.....and some grit.... i.e. “high motor”

I'm guessing if they do get a top 6 it will be someone no one has talked about at all.

Awesome idea. There's your Skinner production replacement and then some.

Thanks! So he doesn't win 51%, his average is 49% and I like he's good Defensively. But Savoie should have been used for Top 6 Help, not bottom 6.

Who takes the important Faceoffs, Lafferty sucks on the Dot. Might not be the best fit, but I would see about JGP. He is really good on the dot and can add 40-45pts and he's physical and can dish the puck a bit.
- Buff36


A bit late in the response, but there's a reason they weren't interested in veteran options.

They're terrified of the veteran coming to Buffalo and mailing it in, like has happened in the recent past.

I think you were correct, joker had zero value.

When we’re out in march, probably get a 3rd for joker at the deadline

- Boss34

An expiring deal to trade for an expiring deal this summer.....🤔

Did you look at his career total instead of last season?
