Wow, no to literally everything. Thompson alone has more value than Draisaitl if only because of his contract. Krebs should have enough value by himself to get Pageau, and the Isles should be thrilled to have that contract off their books. I like Luke Kunin, but not at the cost of Samuelsson. Use a different asset to get that done. Paying a kings ransom for Forsling would be a mistake we would live to regret. He’s a good player now, but how much longer is he going to play at that level? I guess the only move I don’t hate is bringing in DeSmith as a back up.

Tage does not have more value than Drai lol. Im not saying yall need to make this move but value wise, the Sabres win big time

If im the Sabres GM I am staying patient but value wise, that first move is great

Second and third id stay away from but i do think a move for Pageau (1 mil retention) would make a lot of sense. Great PK guy and can play anywhere in the lineup.

When he leaves Edmonton and can’t score more than 70 points a season with his new team because he’s the guy they key on, making $12 million and putting up the points Casey Mittelstadt does for half that on a new contract, we’ll see if you still think he’s better than Tage Thompson. That will depend on if Tage is still putting up 80 points or more for only $7 million.

Sharks accept. We don't have many D prospects rated more than P3.

Sharks say yes

Since 2018-19 Drai has 21 points in 14 games without Mcdavid, he also singlehandedly brought Edmonton to the playoffs in 2019-20 when Mcdavid went down. Drai is a top 5-7 player in the league whether you like it or not, he has also become elite defensively and consistently come up big time in the playoffs. Drai's worst season since 2018 would be Thompsons best career year ever. Saying that Tage Thompson of all people has more value than him might be one of the worst takes I've ever heard on this site respectfully lmao

So many no’s

Burn it and try again

While I don't mind moving Pageau. I have no interest in Krebs, who's a bust.

@Sabrebluehs

U might wanna ask yourself why ZERO of your fellow Sabres fans agree with ANY of your nutty trades?

Might wanna adjust
Just saying….

Still waiting on your ideas??

Did u ask me for ideas at some point??

You’re not wrong
These are bananas

That’s just typical from Sabrebluehs though


It's amazing how critical you are of everyone else's GM posts but hardly create any of your own. This is supposed to be a fun board to throw ideas out there. Not even sure who your team is? Yes every GM post I make there is an overpayment by the Sabres because that is the only way they can get decent players to Buffalo. As a fan of over 30 years I know that no good players come to Buffalo as free agents.

I’d like to see us go after :
1- a legit Top4 RD
2- a Vet goalie to play a “1b” role alongside UPL
3- a 4C who wins faceoffs, plays good defense & can PK

And I’d like to do it without your absolutely ABSURD overpays
