Savoie's value league wide wasn't what people here would think.
- kingcong39

Done, just gotta hope he fits now. Sabres need to take advantage of all this Speed in there plans.

Give ya great deal on a Jack Drury or Jesperi Kotkaniemi
- BINGO!

Actually would have liked Drury

You mean small wingers aren't what NHL gm's are looking for after watching that stanley cup final?

I'm baffled

Rhino, I am captain pessimism but McLeod is exactly what this team needed at 3C. Now go get a top-6 wing and this team will actually be fun
- Hank Balling

Honestly, I just don't see it. I think we gave up a lot for a little all off-season. If that trend continues the pipe will be gone quick without having acquired any high impact players at all. McLeod is a 3-4C to me and doesn't move the needle much. We need a big time point getter and you just traded away one of your best chips.

He said offense

But you have no money

Canes have $12 million in cap space right now with a bunch of guys counting that are going to be buried in the AHL next year.

Weren't there a few just saying these developed prospects were worth much more than we think?

This is catastrophically bad value.

Jarvis is going to cost you what 8-10 ? You can't pay Necas what he wants IMO. Or you lose Anti Niemi

1. What have we given up this offseason? We have 5 - 6 very nice prospects, we gave up one of them as well as a second.

2. We still have a treasure trove of assets to move when the prices come down

The NHL team's roster makes way more sense today than it did yesterday. I wish Savoie well but they have a drought to break and he wasn't going to contribute to that endeavor. Now go get Ehlers and it will be a Good Day™️

Or you guys are under valuing a legit high motor 3C... Watch the Stanley Cup final again and then tell what you think NHL Gm's value at this point in time...



Copy cat league

- DirtyDan

huh?

Niemi?

They aren't paying Necas. He's being traded. He wants out.

They're trying to package him with Drury or Kotkaniemi and other stuff for a guy to play 2C.

- Slump Buster

Looking at it.

An early second + Savoie for a 4th liner and 3C is not really good value at all.

Why is the trade an overpay on the Sabres part? Legit question.
- TC4145

it is if you believe in savoie's ceiling.

the sabres should be done with this line of thinking. finally, commendable work by adams.

huh?

Niemi?

- BINGO!

We’ve got a Peyton Krebs. He plays C

Brutal deal, straight to UFA. Must have had no trade value at all.

More news…Sabres announce they’ve re-signed Henri Jokiharju to a one year deal with $3.1 million.
- Lunaion

I asked the people at CapFriendly a while ago about Jokiharju, and they said his Chicago season does not count towards his UFA eligibility.

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.
- Powerslave

I think it is too. disappointing we dont see savoie in rochester, but fair. high impact today middle six c.

- Lunaion

We moved a guy whose ceiling is middle 6 for a guy who is at least a very good two-way 3C. What exactly did you think we were getting for Savoie? Him being gone isn't going to make or break our chances for a second line wing.

I was also reading that our bottom 6 is probably now the fastest in the league. That doesn't suck.

Don't get this one...right to UFA like you said
- Stripes77

You sure about that...?

https://puckpedia.com/player/henri-jokiharju

shhhhhhhh
- BINGO!

Drury is younger and has almost matched McCloud point wise and he's already 54% on the Dot

Looking at it.

- ImThatGuy

Look at it another way. Winnipeg is supposedly asking for 3 Savoies and something else for Ehlers. The price for Zegras or Necas is going to be similar. I am shocked that some of you think that Savoie is more than he is: a middle 6 PROSPECT.

(it also isn't lost on me that we are in some bizarro world where I am arguing to trade the prospects and others are trying to put on the breaks)

Yikes.

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

I could see UPL getting a large award.
- ImThatGuy

standard protocol for most arb rfas. they'll settle them before the meetings. probably.
