Top Shelf Where Momma Hides the Cookies... MIN WAS CAR NYI

You've overpaid Dumba, but if Minni wants some cap relief, they might take your package. ROR can get more in a trade. Faulk only has two years left till a UFA, there has been some team that likes ROR long term.

Five stars for trading O'Reilly.
I think you tried really hard to make the trades fair for the other team.
You built a really good team all the same.
Good job.

Thank you for the feedback...... I will provide you with my rationale on both Dumba & ROR:

1. The Sabres will have to overpay Dumba and Minnesota because of the mess of an organization that the Sabres in the current state. I would hope that Dumba would not cost $7,500,000 a season but I wanted to see if I could pull together a decent squad if we had to go to $7,500,000 a year. I thought about a sign and trade with Minnesota in order to get the 8th year but I opted to give Dumba a break with only having to possibly endure the Sabres for 7 years. I do agree that the package being sent to Minnesota is on overpay (maybe I claw back Cornel). My thoughts are that Nylander is the key piece. I put McCabe in as a bottom pair Dman that is young and has years ahead of him (I really would like to keep him in the Sabres organization), the 1st round pick of SJS in 2019 is just a must have for Minnesota then I put Fasching for organizational depth;

2. I have seen so many ROR deals on this site and most are met with 'Oh no way are we paying that much for that GUY'.... blah blah blah.... so I decided to just to a straight one for one. I also agree that Faulk alone is not enough but as I said earlier I was trying to see if the Sabres overpay can I build a club that will look better on the ice next year and future years;

Thanks you so much for taking the time to offer your feedback it is very much appreciated.

Tom Wilson's a first line right wing on a division leader. Brooks Orpik's a 19 minute per night defenseman on same.

Girgensons is a cautionary tale about why you let top prospects develop before sticking them in the NHL. Baptiste is pretty decent AHLer who hit 20 goals in 16-17, with Rochester, but slowed down a bit this year.

I'd bet Washington would love to have Baptiste in Hershey, but not at that price.

Thank you my brother in arms!

I tried to do exactly that make trades where the Sabres may have overpaid and in the end put together a team you and I would actually enjoy watching!!!!
