Steep (pick wise) for 2 pending ufas.

Assuming both sign tho which wouldn't be hard to see why buffalo can't afford a 3-4 year extension on both

Hellebuyck isn't extending with Buffalo, He wants to win now. And that's definitely not happening in Buffalo. Hellebuyck would be perfect in Carolina.

Take out Anton, and change that 2023 1st to Philadelphia 's 2nd in 2023(39), not giving two 1st for 2 could be FA's. And we won't know if they will sign probably until after they get here and you can have the 2nd in 2025, no stipulations.

We just paid Thompson, cozens and Samuelsson and are about to pay dahlin and power. Don't know about 13-15 million on these 3 on top

Oh it's definitely not? Put him on this year's Sabres team and we have 100-105 points. We had 91 with some of the worst goaltending in the league

Not paying 2 first when we have plenty of assets to offer and reasonable goaltending option from other routes including giving comrie and upl another shot for 1/2 the price. Demelo is a nice add but very replaceable as well and your prospect isnt better than the one we're dangling for a comp pick right now. Our 2023 first and UPL is plenty for helly if you get a better offer he's thiers.

Especially for one that's best suited to 3rd pair dman work.

You mean with the Sabres who missed the playoff by one point while getting a 0.890 save percentage? Yeah no chance he could get them one extra win to make it into the playoffs...

Take out this years 1st and it’s a conversation……

Nah....
