Columbus doesn't need a backup. They'll be using Tarasov next year. His waiver exemption expires so he's the obvious choice.

This seems a bit optimistic. Nothing personal but you're getting a lot of UFAs to sign in Buffalo. Yeah considering a players union poll had Buffalo as most often said to be the least desired place to play38% of respondents said that.

Raanta, fast, Killorn and Graves isn't exactly the Suter and Parise of FA signing.

There are a finite number of starting goalie jobs, and Fast/Graves arent exactly all-stars. Irony of course being the Sabres shouldn't be pursuing an overrated left shot d-man. Objectively the absolute last thing they need.

Only notable guy there is Killorn. And idk why the Sabres would spend $ what with the need for RHD and two new goalies.

How'd those signings work out for the wild? Curious choice of comparison

My point was that those 4 names aren’t exactly a splash” like suter parise were in a way that you’d say there’s no chance Buffalo could do that. Graves raanta and fast aren’t going to be swimming in offers. They may not sign with the Sabres, but it isn’t some totally unrealistic pipe dream.

It’s a 3rd pair D, backup goalie and bottom six forward, as if the Sabres aren’t regularly signing those types of players since like 2010 lmao

Can't sign Johnson to 3yrs. And I wouldn't do that Chicago deal, I am not the biggest Olofsson supporter but the kid can score goals. 20-30 goals regularly is worth more than 3rd and 4th round picks. And With Johnson signing I wouldn't spend that money on Graves. They need to think bigger, like a Top 3D especially with Samuelsson's injury issues.

Well we’re not willing to trade draft picks so we’re gonna say no to this as well

The Blackhawks traded a 24 year old Debrincat last year, so they're not expending resources on a 27-year old Olofsson just to get to the cap floor.
