Why would Carolina trade their 1LhD?
Why would Buffalo trade for another LhD, making 5 of 6 LhD's

'23-1st, A-Prospect (Savoie, Kulich), Roster Player (Mitts, JJP,)

- IonSabres

Top 4 RHD doesn't need to cost what Slavin would cost.

Think you can get one for a similar cost of Chychrun.

Agreed.
They don't need a #1, they'll have 2 sooner than later.
They need an upgrade over Joker, preferably a RhD for balance.
And, a ~30yo on a 2 -3 year deal would be ideal especially if they daft a couple of Dmen for the pipeline.

time to make a move like that is when you have a lot of top 60 picks on cheap contracts


cap wise, probably have to move casey, but he could fit with tuch, power, dahlin, skinner, tage and cozens

because of the cheap contracts

life is what if's


what if tage gets the injury bug again
what if skinner plays like ralph is the coach
what if dahlin takes a step back


I don't see this team being a shut down team with donny and adams so play the fun and gun

but they're already here.

now you're willing to gamble away assets on a player with 4 more years, at 11.5 million, a NMC and has not been consistently good since leaving Ottawa.

I'd ask for 50% retention and minimal assets. It's an unnecessary risk.

In My Opinion.

the topic started as a top 4 d man with a chicken man like cost


I think he would cost around that much to get him

at some point, a ballsy move or 2 will need to be made by this team, not getting greenways, stillmans, and comries

Completely agree.

No need to trade for an old dude that costs too much.

I think we try and pry away provorov from Philadelphia or one of their other defenseman 😉

I understand the sentiment behind Karlsson, but I think you can achieve that splash in a more responsible way.

Absolutely.

Any thoughts on trading rosen and a 2nd for provorov and hagg's left over equipment.

Gotta think the Sabres are going to target a former high pick between the ages of 24 -27 on defense.

Found out last night, contracts talks have started with Dahlin. 8 mill a year is the starting point.

I assume that’s the Sabres. What’s rasmus’ starting point though.

If they're hitting him with 8 I imagine he's coming back at 12 and meeting in the middle.

Seems like an eichel 8 x 10 type deal.

7 x 10 if that's allowed this year.

Lock him up to the max term ☝️

Open to using Rosen as he's maybe our 4 or 5 best prospect, but I'm not sure I want to use him on Provorov. Personally I'd rather just use a 2nd on Connor Murphy. Maybe Sebastian Aho from the Islanders could be made available.

I'm guessing that's close but it's still early. They want to go over there " FUTURE PLANS " with him.
