After every contract expires this year there is about 37.5mil to resign players that weren’t already.

Devils decline. Just play Sheahan in that spot

My pointers on this team.

1. We shouldnt pay for Kane, wait until next year and see if we can win him in FA. Like Giroux.
2. Hoglander trade feels like Quantity over Quality.
3. Buffalo won't do that Samuelsson trade. Samuelsson is definitely more valuable to us than Brannstrom. A lot better player.
4. Is probably not bad value considering Larkin is a UFA. I doubt Detroit does this trade, and I don't think buffalo should considering he most likely wouldn't resign with us.
5. Last trade is not good for the sabres. UPL isn't ready to start, and Craig Anderson isn't even NHL level anymore. I would do a Comrie - UPL pairing for the next couple years until Levi comes.

As a Sabres fan, I’d hope we only consider the Pk88 trade if he signs an extension here. However, he wants to play for a contender again, so he’s not gonna accept a trade here right now.
Maybe he reconsiders if you’re Dylan Larkin trade happens,
but we’re giving up A LOT in that deal- and a few of the pieces i know we’d want to keep (namely Savoie & Asplund)
I know we’d have to give to get, but i think we’d try to move some other pieces besides those 2 guys.
*and Larkin would have to come with a long term extension for us to even consider giving up what it would take to get him

I don’t wanna nitpick your trades, but the Samuelsson for Brannstrom deal has ZERO chance of happening
Samuelsson was paired with Dahlin at the end of last season & looked good there. Those 2 will play together again on our top pair (to start at least) instead of rushing Power into that role.

To answer your overall question….
At the end of the day, adding Larkin & Kane look good on paper, but that’s not enough to make us “contenders”

The goaltending is still quite questionable,
and a majority of the team is still very young & needs more development

Was getting greedy towards the end lol figured hes disgruntled player and Devil fans have a lower value for him rn but wanted him for buffalo because he still has the talent

Figured Boquist still has the talemt to take a chance and didnt know about Anderson but rather would have Comrie as backup as well. Hoglander could be hit or miss he has the physicality and playmaking skill that would benefit Buffalo but this is me speculating as an outside fam who doesnt know about the players/prospects as much as a fan of that team. But figured the Kame/Larkin duo this year would help get them both to resign but it is high risk high reward

Devils have no need to trade him and I don't see why Devils fans would want to

Buffalo isn't making the playoffs, So Kane isn't waiving to go there.

Detroit passes, Not even close for Dylan Larkin. If Detroit wanted Savoie they would've drafted him and there's no freaking way Larkin would commit long term with Buffalo. It's either Detroit or Columbus.

And the picks would need to be 2023 for Yzerman to move Larkin to Buffalo which there's no way in hell he'd waive for them. !st round pick that's 3 drafts away isn't going to cut it same with the 2nd that's 2 drafts away.

Some interesting ideas
But i can’t see us willing to be that risky
Extensions would 100% have to be in place for us to even consider trading for Larkin &/or Kane

And our goaltending *might* work out, but it might not

I’d say that moves like Kane & Larkin don’t make a ton of sense until we have some more info on how our young goalie talent will develop, and that just takes time

Some interesting ideas for sure though
And not a bad job overall

Ok but there is zero chance Detroit accepts that for Larkin.

Stick with your own team, That's a offer for Dylan Larkin and not even close. Yzerman is the GM now not Holland. Yzerman blocks Adams number.

That’s literally his asking price lmao—- top 6 fwd/ prospect and 2 1st or top 6 fwd/2 good prospects/ 1st and another pick

You cam read the above reply too bud lmfaooo

I can read, If you can't make a fair offer then don't post. And that's an offer for Larkin Mittelstadt is a 3C Savoie Detroit didn't want Asplund is a joke and late picks doesn't cut it.

Ok but I can assure Detroit won't trade Larkin for that. Where did you get this asking price from? I can also assure you it didn't come from Yzerman.

This is the brilliant s*t you had to rebuttal with lmfaoo buddy the price for Larkin on the market is known idk why your trying to reach so much rn lmaoo why dont you just only talk about tampa with the logic you bring to the table lmaoooooooo

You guys gonna have todo the work yourselves lol im not going to get scrutinized for things people have put forward

I wouldn't trade for Brännström. Especially trade away Samuelsson, he is someone BUF desperately need. Someone big strong and defensive.
Brännström is a bust in my eyes. Not good enough to be great

So you made it up and its total BS. The way it works is if you make a claim like this it's your responsibility to provide a source and until you so it means nothing! So provide a source or just stop making stuff up it's that simple!

Right instead of being hand fed things just do some googling yourself than fact check each source between themselves. Where theres a rumor theres some truth.

Hawks decline that. If it was just for Kane we accept but not for Murphy too and you want 4 year retention which is crazy

I beleive if you are sighting a source, it is not the person who is questioning it to spend time finding the source, but on the person who bring is up. If you can not sight a source, then presumably it is not real.

That being said I googled the price to obtain Larkin and came up with nothing, so unless you can sight a source, than it is bogus and will be just a rumored that has not substance.
