Better do better than that to take Vinny's terrible contract

No to Letang. Another Leino contract.

You need that terrible contract to become cap compliant. how about adding our forth?

Sabres will have no problem reaching the cap floor. No thanks on Letang.

But with lots of teams needing to dump salary, and few that can take it on...
U need us more than we need u
Its not a bad starting point for a deal though, assuming we like Laughton

Laughton+17 is a great deal.

Personally I like Laughton a lot. We need speed

To be honest I rather have myers instead of erhoff though. But I think it would cost more then Im willing to trade.

We need to spend money not throw it away . We have a few players to sign and a couple free agents and we are there . We are doing you a huge taking that albatross . Plus we can't trade away all that salary in stewart and Erhoff . If we are to achieve floor . Stewart will go at the trade deadline.

Im sure ill take some critcism for this but id take letand as long as we didnt give up anything significant. I think pittsburgh could get something better than that for him tho

Say what you want about Letang's salary. There is no way I trade him. Yes he has a history of injuries but his upside is worth the salary.Niskanen who will probably get 5 mil a year scored 10 goals in 82 games last year while Letang scored 11 in 37 games

two things though

1) Lecavalier never agrees to come here unless we promise to buy him out, and that would be a normal one not a compliance buyout.

2) If you bring in laughton you'd probably have to move one of Hodgson or Grigorenko no? Can't just field a lineup of centres in your top six, gotta have at least 1 natural winger in there

We are trading away more salary than we are taking in . On top of that bad contract . No way that deal gets done.

Myers will cost you lots . He is not going anywhere.

He wouldnt have a choice. He would just wake up one day sleeping on a bench infront of your arena. Second, I wouldnt put laughton in top 6 yet. Third line center for sure right now. Not top two. Vinny would be a very good 2nd line center I think. So yah, you may have to move grigosomethingoranother.

If we got Laughton I wouldn't hesitate to package either for a top 6 winger.
