Sabres Fans who would you rather have

Konecny. Trading for a ufa that you would then have to pay until he's 36 is dumb. Especially when you don't have a need.

I would prefer to make neither move

I would take Horvat, but doubt either happens.

Gee, why would Sabres trade so much for a rental in Horvat. Even two full season of Konecky is iffy for the Sabres.

Sabres don't need a rental center, and that package is not good for Vancouver

Well idk that Philly is trying to trade Konecny, so he might cost more than that. He’ll certainly cost more than Horvat bc Horvat is about to be a UFA & Konecny is under contract.

To answer your question though….
Horvat is more valuable imo- he’s a Center. And he’s the kind of 2way Center we don’t have (& need imo)

But what I’d do personally, is go after BOTH
Play them together on the 2nd line, & bump the Cozens line with Quinn & Peterka down to line3

It would be (kinda) tough to do that with the Cap
But i don’t think we’d have to worry about that for a few more years, and by that time the Cap will have gone up a bit to help us out- & we’ll have gotten rid of some Cap in guys like Okposo & Skinner, etc
Eventually, the Cap will be something we have to finesse even if we didn’t bring in 1 (or both) of Horvat/Konecny anyways
It would just take a little longer

I think both guys could be excellent pieces to get though
And both would really help this team take a step forward to the next level as well (imo)


A cheaper option, who i also like & can fill one of their roles, would be Max Domi- he’s a UFA after this season as well
And he’s a pretty good 2way guy who plays feisty & can win faceoffs- plus play Center or the wing
