I'd personally want someone who can thrive in his own zone.

He hasn't done so in Edmonton. He's been a liability.

Thought we were looking for a 3C that can add

Kyle Okposo has better SHD numbers than Henrique

Thought we were looking for a 3C that can add
- Buff36

Sure. I mean we could add Cody Eatkids too

Adam Henrique wouldn't be a bad short term add
- Buff36

I agree.

I have been impressed with his play this post season..and he certainly is gritty.
Not too great on the dot though.
Maybe the Panthers will cut him loose on the market in order to re-sign Sam and Monte...and more.
- IonSabres

liability on defense but drove ES and PP offense. I think he could offer this team a lot but we definitely need someone who can win faceoffs and offer strong play in his own end

I don't know about that, he's still decent and only need him until hopefully Ostlund is ready.

So 4+ years?


"The Calder Cup Playoffs can be unforgiving to a 5-foot-11, 163-pound neophyte like Buffalo Sabres center prospect Noah Ostlund.

Forget about the talent and supreme hockey sense the Swede, 20, possesses. He was the lightest player on either roster during the Americans’ North Division semifinal series. "

Sure and his 35pt average, and 30 hits.

Basically another Benson, but with physicality...

Skinner, 11th OA, 43rd OA to Chicago for 18th OA and 50th OA

Joker, Rosen, Kisakov, 18th OA and 50th OA to Carolina for Necas & Kotkaniemi

Patty Kane comes home on a 2 year $12M deal

Kane-Tage-Necas
Peterka-Cozens-Quinn
Benson-KK-Tuch
Greenway-Krebs-Savoie

Power-Dahlin
Samuelsson-Byram
Johnson-Clifton

I'd be interested in Jesper K if he's bought out.

He at the very least can be a shut down 4C

- homiedclown

Raise the Bar to what, I thought we were looking for a 3C. Sabres will have problems getting anyone to come here, maybe some need to reset there Bars

Sure and his 35pt average, and 30 hits.
- Buff36

yeah he was pretty good.

just think kevo wants that abrasive, faceoff winning, play driving 3C. Why I think a guy like Jenner would be a fantastic grab.

I'd trade pick 11 for Bennett with no extension.

Just get him. He's exactly the type needed in the middle six.

So 4+ years?

Sabres are going to have trouble attracting anyone, be Lucky if Henrique, Joshua, Monahan, Duchene and So on even pick up the Phone.

better player

trade for 1

move cozens or tage to wing

- TheSabresTaco

I agree, but highly doubt Jenner will

Jenner and Bjugstad for our bottom 6 centers are exactly what this GM should be targeting

add a crouse or ehlers for the middle 6 and you got something
- homiedclown

Depending on what you're giving up, that's a successful off-season.

I still think the kid will be fine and would gladly take him as a cap dump

I agree, but Adams hasn't exactly made this the Go To Destination!

makes it easier to then get that top 4 d man to play with dahlin, bryam and power as well will all the prospects

- Buff36

I agree you ain't wrong.

Adams believes this group is talented enough to win, he must realize its missing:

emotion, energy, consistency, toughness, determination, endurance, calculated chaos, pride (not the rainbow type), loyalty.

This roster is desperate for a fighter. Adams can overpay and still stay within his budget to bring in one or more of those types, while also not holding any of his prospects back by signing vets to their desired roles.

Henrique is none of that, specifically in Buffalo at his age IMO.

I agree, but Adams hasn't exactly made this the Go To Destination!
- Buff36

that's why I think it's easier to trade for those few missing pieces needed vs rolling the dice in free agents

rumor has it that the plan was to get kane for that mid season addition and it failed

if adams went after that middle 6 guy in a trade last summer, perhaps we would still be playing

Not adding Henrique for that Fighter or grit. That's a different acquisition.

Noesen would be a nice bottom 6 winger for that spot and Zadorov for bottom 4 d men

I agree trade wise, but Jenner has a M-NTC. Adams has to find someone who will say YES
