Nope.

"byram fills an important gap that, I believe, kevyn thinks is harder to fill than casey's gap. this is all because they have faith in thompson and cozens."
And I'll add " that he thought Krebs could step up into the 3C spot "

I'll be shocked f Mitts signs for $5M for a club who believes he is their 2C and played very well in the PO'

Casey's predicted next contract is in the $5M per range.

There is no way we get Jenner guys

I would be over the moon but there’s no chance

Laine, Texier, Jenner for Skinner, Jokiharju, 11OA is where it starts

The Buffalo Sabres need to make the playoffs in 2025. There's really nothing else to say. The Sabres have officially entered into the results business. Winning is now truly the only thing that matters. This means that it is on GM Kevyn Adams to have the summer of his career. It's always fun to hop in the GM chair yourself, so what would I do if ...

Be cheaper on the cap?

How do you know that?

- kingcong39


I don't know that but if they're looking for a defensive 3C, those guys don't typically cost 6+ million. But, like I said, they want the guy and the money is second.

Now if they get a guy like Anthony Cirelli, now you're getting a similarly aged player who is simply better. I'm not sure you have the cap room without removing Skinner by next year but there's other things you can do. But your Jenner's, Laughton's (as prev mentioned) are in a lower salary tier than what Casey is lining up to make.

And, again, more importantly, they play differently.

Directly from the article
the only hint of possible trade value linked to Jokiharju being a "late-round pick" by Frank Seravalli.

UPL lovers? What is your deal? If that guy leads us to the playoffs next year, you'll still say he blows. You would literally hate the team's success if UPL was the goalie.

You think Gibson is an upgrade? Guy hasn't been good for 6 years. 😂 Ullmark certainly came back to earth last year playing behind a phenomenal team, didn't he? UPL more than doubled him in shutouts.

I’m saying Adams is still looking for a goalie. He’s not sold on UPL.

They had those 3 C's for a few years, the problem was they all play very similar styles, and it didn't work.

Dahlin is elite when he is on, but otherwise it's too similar of a situation to say one is better than the other.

I value Centers over dmen.

- washedup20


Fair enough. And well said on the first point, we had 3 good centers but redundant ones.

Them looking for a short term stop gap is more of an indictment against Levi than it is UPL. Let us know when they sign 2 goalies...

This is what Adam's is thinking. At least you can see the forest through the trees.

It's probably more a left over from last season and brought back to life.
I don't see any chance they deep six UPl for one of those guys. Put UPL on the Bruins and watch out.

He isn't sourcing a Goalie, especially not a starting Goalie.

Do you want to compare save percentages between UPL and Ullmark, or just shutouts?

UPL had an excellent stretch last season, as he kept afloat what was likely a bottom 5 in the league team.

He needs to show quality performance again this coming season before he can be fully trusted.

I'm hoping management agrees with that.

No, Levi should play another year in Rochester. That's why Adams is looking. Ruff is sold on UPL, and he said as much.
