Kinda sucks we traded away that 2nd for Greenway, might have been able to get that big Bulldozer Simashev there.

Let's not bury Greenway yet. It takes time to integrate into a lineup. The Rangers are just now starting to roll and they added HoFers.

Saros
- Gr8daygo

For the 10th pick in the draft ?
I wouldn't do that, IMO if the Sabres passed on using it on Chychrun or Timo than there not trading it know. It is obvious Adams wants another draft and at 10 or 11 the Sabres are gonna get a really good player that will help sooner than later. Lot of talent in the top 15

I still can't understand why Adams didn't get involved in using the Cap as a weapon. Obviously still trying to build through through the draft, I would have taken a few of those. Especially like Zaitsev and that 2nd.

Along with the above, the player that confuses me is Klingberg.

Yes, he wasn't having a great season, but for a B/C prospects and a 4th round pick, why not see if he can help stabilize the top 4 for the remainder of the season, with how badly they need the help there?

Unless he had no interest in Buffalo, I don't get it.

Guess, would rather of had a pick in the late 30's than the late 50's to early 60's

Well, from what all you draft nerds say this pick, even at #10, should be a solid, solid kid. Would that get me Tom Wilson if I tossed in Olofsson?

Although, why on Earth would any team trade Tom Wilson?

The pick by itself Gudas. Though he only has one year left. Have to be a sign and trade

I have to do research. No idea right now. The possibilities are kind of endless except at net

- lacaprup


Curious what website you are using that says Gudas has one year left on his current deal.

How many years does that website say Wilson has left on his deal?

Who cares about a 4th round pick in 2 years?

I’m sure you are right on that one. So what’s it take to get Saros here then?

You mean Niederreiter?

Agree with that too.

As far as Klingberg, why not give that a try?

A few head scratchers, looks like the decision had been made already for another year.

Don't know, I would be surprised if he didn't go with a Levi UPL tandem next year. As long as he waited to sign Levi and do nothing about his goaltending.

It's not like Niederreiter was a pending UFA either, as he still has next season left on his deal.

I can’t see how anyone with the slightest amount of hockey knowledge thinks that’s a recipe for any amount of success in the NHL.

If you want to roll Levi out as the vibes goalie backup. Ok, seems dumb for a college goalie to bolt right to NHL and not get major playing time in the AHL, but ok, fine….

But to lean on Levi and UPl/Comrie next year. Has to be the dumbest plan ever. You think Dahlin wants to sign up for 8 years of that? That’s just pissing another seasons away.

How does a team that supposedly supports all things analytics, look at UPL, Comrie, and a college rookie in net and say, “good enough”….

I think Terry just needs to sell the team. He will make money on the overall investment. Just get out of the NHL. Go worry about the Bills….

I hope he doesn't go that route, but has he done anything to make us think anything else. And don't want to hear Gibson or Murray and he tried. OK, well keep trying there were goalies available.

Dominic Hasek, 6'1", 185 lbs, athletic, unconventional style. Broke into the NHL at age 26 with 5 games (.914) that season. Next two seasons were .893 (20 gms) and .896 (28 gms), Peaking at ages 29 - 36, 3 years after entering the NHL. Asked out of Buffalo at age 37.

Devon Levi, 6'0", 185 lbs, athletic, unconventional style. Breaking into the NHL at age 21.

Hmmmmm. The development path is written. Let's try to keep in mind Hasek's 1st 3 seaons during this and the next 2 for Levi.

The SS!!! Sounds better than "BS".

Sarasota Sabres has a great ring to it.

Do it, sell, sell, sell!
