strome being a rental should not be in equation

eichel and skinner for buchnevich, kakko, georgiev, trouba and 2021 1st rd pick

- homiedclown


That’s terrible
Georgiev isn’t a proven starter
And Trouba’s contract is similar to Skinner

I’m not even a huge fan of Kakko or Buch

Also....
the 22 & 23 drafts are MUCH better,
so we should want 1sts from those drafts over this year’s

So I just found out if Sam goes to arbitration the max he can sign is a 1 year deal

Yeah we talked about that last week I believe. 39 and Lunaion corrected me on that.

Oh man. I highly recommend giving Harrington's piece a read:

Rasmus Ristolainen seemed to make it clear a change of address would be in his best interests. Utterly bratty Sam Reinhart, coming off a 25-goal season that was on pace for near 40 in a full schedule, looked like he'd rather be in a dentist's chair than try to say anything relevant about the franchise or his own game.

Trouba better then skinner


2 top 6 wingers

40 game goalie

Lottery pick



If that's terrible

Be prepared for a ror return

Lots of good players next year and 2023 If they need to rebuild this would be the time to do it

Gonna have to see what happens with him, I mean did people think he was gonna come out and be all bubbly, it's been 2 days since the end of another horrible season.

Yes, it’s terrible
Trouba is overpriced & overrated
Scrap that idea & get Fox

They look more like middle6 wingers to me
Just don’t really love their young forward talent-
even Lafreniere

And idc about getting a “1b” (at best) goalie
If we get a goalie back from them- it should be Shesterkin hands down

Lottery pick in this draft just isn’t as good of quality as a 1st in MUCH more talent laden 22 & 23 draft


Just think we should be aiming higher with an Eichel return
We should be getting a team’s absolute BEST pieces- not secondary ones

To be fair any team acquiring Eichel is going to have a very late First. Like High 20s in 2022-2023

😍😍😍

The good thing about the upcoming drafts is there’s A LOT of outstanding young talent for us to acquire & build around
Sucks we are back in rebuild mode....
but there were too many mistakes made with this one anyways
Hopefully, we can do it right this time

Agreed that this is a bad day for the Sabres, but I dont agree that it's even close to losing Drury and Briere. I loved those guys and the city embraced them like nothing I've ever seen before, even in 99.

Do people care about Risto, Jack and Sam like that? If so, I just dont get it. We've won nothing with them. Go get a haul for these players and turn the page on the tanks years once and for all.

I agree. I feel empty but I don’t love jack like I loved briere and drury.

I feel like I only really like jack because he is the big deal. Not the most likeable.

I’m not as sure of that as u are
Especially if we get a great return for him

But even if that’s right,
I like a pick in the 20s in 2022 over pick 15/16 in this one

Picks in 22 & 23 will also have really good trade value, even if they’re in the 20s

The more I think about it, with the drama that gathered steam today, the only way to go is with Torts. Donnie Meatballs is a great guy, has some skills developing talent, and is a great story (which Buffalonians always love and fall for,) but they need an enema. Torts will do it and not care how painful it might be

Jack is the one common denominator for losing. I cannot blame him for this, however, they bring in some very young, pimple-faced kid and tell him he is a star and the franchise player. It all went to his head, can you blame him? Then they make him the team captain...really? He throws a fit when they lose and pouts. How on earth can this type of individual be a leader? I would get rid of Jack and the rest of the players will step up, especially, if they get a veteran coach with a winning record that the team can respect. Bringing in Krueger was a big mistake. He failed with Edmonton and then they bring him to Buffalo that has a losing culture to overcome. Really? That was just dam stupid. Jack is the problem...he may be good, but he is a crybaby when they start to lose and kills the spirit of the team. He may work out better on a team that is already good. You can do a lot with 10 million.

Could be, Could stay. I am gonna wait and see how the next few months play out. This offseason Could turn into another dark cloud in Sabres history. Or Adams and Karmanos Could turn it into a summer that changed the Organization for a decade. It's kinda nightmarish and extremely exciting all in one. Thank God for Bong hits and Crown Royal
