Sabres don't make that trade for a rental

Why does this persist, doesn't really make much sense

seems like a huge overpay for a guy near 30 with 1 year left sabres should just stay the course unless they can add a real superstar.

I'd re-sign Buchnevich personally. Wouldn't treat him as a rental. His cap hit shouldn't ever start with anything more than a 6 and he's dynamic for all 200 feet of ice. Your top prospects (Ostlund/Kulich/Rosen/2024 1st) are set up here to replace Tuch/Skinner/Monahan as they come off the books. Buchnevich is worth having in my opinion. Plus with expansion looming having more good vets is never a bad thing since prospects can be auto-protected.

He's going to want a long term deal at 29. He'll get paid 8+ a year. Sabres already have 2 centers locked up and savoie is looking really good right now. The sabres management clearly like Sammy.

Also giving monahan 5 mil, ain't it.

To be fair, plenty of pundits have mentioned them as a possible interested party. And of course, most if not all of that chatter is just weird clickbait.

Plus we have to pay Bo B, JJP, Quinn, Tuch...

yes
