So he is a lock or? You contradict yourself.

What happened to the trade at the deadline that we were all going to be happy about?

- sabresfan69


Sounds like his fate is in his own hands and they expect him to be at a level in which he can compete in the NHL on most nights.

Kulich isn't ready and his defense was bad in the AHL. He still has work to do. I could see him as a call up but there is no rush since the roster spots are already full for next year. Savoie replaces Olofsson. Top 9 is set.

I'd love to hear about the plan for VO. Of course we can assume.

I think they try to trade him at the draft. I don't know how much value he has though. Probably a 3rd round pick or package him for a defenseman.

I am just guessing but what value does a one dimensional PP specialist who can't play defense have? Ship him to Vegas so he can play with his buddy

I'd be pretty interested in a Foligno-Olofsson swap. Retain or add picks as necessary.

No one is giving a 1st and Buchnevich got a 2nd.

I don't think I will be surprised.

Best value would be package him for a defenseman.

Also their goalie situation is going to be hard to predict.

A lot of lip service yesterday for UPL and Comrie. Which is fine.

One's gotta go, and probably both if you're serious.

Sam Reinhart was traded for a franchise goalie and a top line sniper.

You WILL be surprised

Buffalo hasn't traded for a good goalie in 10 years and its not easy to do.

My gut tells me its UPL and Levi and they waive Comrie but maybe a trade happens.

At the time? It was a 1st and a goalie prospect.

80 point plays who are defensively responsible are worth that although at the time I think everyone was disappointed in the trade

That trend will likely continue. If one or both are shipped out, I'd be surprised if a non-prospect goalie came back.

I suppose it could resemble a Talbot-Gustavsson swap.. but I don't think the Sabres would see value in that. Why not just sign Varlamov.

On savoie He's already a lock on the roster The organization Already has ideas how they're gonna switch him out of the lineup to make sure he doesn't get gased out Or too much of a work load .

Unless he has the worst camp possible He's on the team

- gerbe75pts



Makes sense. I expect him to have a good prospect camp this summer and dominate and just show he’s ready

Last summer. His shoulder injury recovery kind of screwed everything up

I’m not sure why you are throwing digs at gerbe. He brings the best rumors and rumblings from the Sabres.

How was Kulich's Defense bad in the AHL, especially on a team that didn't have very good D.

My sauce says chicken Alfredo with brussel sprouts tonight. That’s an E4, normally broccoli gets the nod but management wants to keep the noodles on its toes
