Beauvillier has nothing to do with fixing the back end, I never said he did, so think before you yourself get so defensive. Olofsson is still just a one trick pony, that's why his value is fairly limited. Lastly, Girgensons is such a good leader, why has he only gotten a 1 year deal?

Then wtf did u bring up our lack of defensive IQ on the backend like it had ANYTHING at all to do with this???

And idc about Olofsson’s “value”
His 1 trick is a pretty important one- gotta score to win
And he’s not just a PP guy, he’s become MUCH better 5v5

Girgs was signed to a 1 year deal, like Okposo, bc they’re older & we have A TON of young forward talent coming to replace them
But just bc we have better talented youth coming, doesn’t mean they aren’t valued players/leaders on our team
One or both of them may be signed to another 1year deal after this- we are transitioning from their leadership to the next group that’ll take over- Tuch, Dahlin, Cozens
But since Girgs & Okposo are STILL effective in their roles- getting the tough defensive assignments every night- there’s no reason to rush any of the kids into it
*although Krebs & Cozens & Quinn have been growing as 2way players as well- especially Krebs


Instead of acting like u know what’s going on with the Sabres,
u can just ask & I’ll let ya know
You’re clearly making a bunch of assumptions that just aren’t true

You’re way off though, so I’ll make it clear as possible
The Sabres are NOT looking for forward help
We are loaded up front, & have more talent coming than we’ll even be able to fit into our lineup

MN doesn't have the cap or any reason to make that trade.
BUF doesn't need any FWDs right now. They have enough prospects to give a chance until Quinn gets back. If they need a rental they'll get one later in the year.
WIN has no reason to trade a guy they just got.
SJS has no reason to give up anything to take on a bad contract. They'd be better off signing Dumba for a $6m x 1 deal (matching Myers current contract), keep their stuff, and trade him at the TDL and get more stuff.
