Sujet: Sabres playoff roster next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>I like your Goalie target- makes sense

I don’t think ARZ trades Crouse though

What u did with the lines makes sense to me,
especially line3 putting Savoie &amp; Benson back together
I wonder if we start Savoie in the wing though &amp; put Kulich or Krebs at 3C, at least to start


Some interesting ideas that i think look pretty good overall
Go Sabres !</div></div>

I think the sabres have options for 3c but I think Savoie has the highest ceiling at center. So he should get the first shot at it.
I think Levi needs to stay in AHL next year until he forces his way on roster. I like the goalies and think they will give us best 1-2 punch sabres had in long time.
I just believe sabres could use a player like Crouse on the roster with all young players coming up all small and shifty. We need a better greenway on the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Once again….
THIS IS NOT MY ACGM

Holy **** Ranger fans…. TRY READING !</div></div>

I posted this then fell asleep before I read the comments. I wish I was up to help back you up. That being said from my experience rangers and leaf fans are the most delusional on the site. So that is why I mad the title.
In all honestly it is fair trade. Kaapo has no value at all he has 3 points this season and is a third line player. His draft stock is his greatest value and at this point that is pretty much gone.
I like BS but he hasn’t proved anything more than third pair NHL dman. Can he be more absolutely that is why I was trading for him. But u can say the same for mitts

As for mitts. Over the last 42 games he has been point per game pace. Which started when Thompson got hurt last year. Almost all his points at 5x5. He doesn’t get any first power play time. He also has proved his defensive play a lot. Last game against bruins we were trying to close out the game with lead. And mitts had the most ice time of all forwards.

To say BS is even close to Mitts is just crazy and delusional.

Sujet: Sabres upgrade the roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Troll post. Just because Ras isn't Dahlin doesn't make him not a #1.

Saying Markstrom hasn't had an average season in over 2 years is completely asinine. He's literally playing excellent this current season and was was the Vezina runner-up under 2 years ago. Markstrom has the 7th best GSAx in the league and has the <a href="https://www.naturalstattrick.com/playerteams.php?stdoi=g" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">10th best HDSV%</a>
<img class="for_img" src="https://i.imgur.com/JtM3uWE.png" alt="JtM3uWE.png">

Mittelstadt is vastly overperforming right now. Do you know where he ranks among forwards for iCF? Tied for 233rd. And 243rd in ixGF
Like look at this, his GF/60 and xGF/60 aren't even in the same stratosphere
<img class="for_img" src="https://i.imgur.com/O43THDX.png" alt="O43THDX.png">

Mitts will probably come back to earth some time soon and end up with about 30 points in the remaining 55 games</div></div>

First Markstrom
Like I said it has been terrible the past two years. This year and last year. Three years ago he have descent season. Does anyone expect a 33 year old goalie to improve after two bad seasons? No he is what he is. I just believe Sabres could use a goalie with his leadership. But he has no value at 6 million.

2 mitts

In the last 42 games he has averaged a point per game. That is large sample size. If you have watched the Sabres you can see he has been the best and most consistent forward on the team during that span. They team trust him in any situation and was even out there to close out the bruins in closing minutes in last game. He also played the most minutes of all forwards in that game. His value has never been higher and he will only be getting better. Sabres just have so many forwards on roster and in pipeline someone has to go. Unfortunately I think he has highest value right now that could get Sabres a top 4 RHD.

Finally Ras

He is very good dman but in my opinion there are maybe 20 legit number one dman in this league and he isn’t even close. He is average number 2. On Sabres he was be the third best dman and Samuelson is close to making him 4. He has good value but it isn’t more then mittelstadt.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>I mean bolded was true of Ristolainen with the sabres as well. Pts are a terrible way to evaluate d-men. Dahlin at his absolute worst still had 50 pts and he was legitimately bad those years.

Even if i accept the comparison to chychrun, You are definitely short selling mittelstadt here.

Dating back to last season, Mittelstadt is among top 50 fwds in goals above replacement, just 0.3 shy of william nylander and slightly ahead of kaprizov and marchand. I get Andersson is good and his contract is good, but pretending mittelstadt isnt in the same stratosphere implies either thinking andersson is a norris contender, or mittelstadt is a bottom six-er. Both are totally unfair.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mediumyeet</b></div><div>He's a consistent 24minute a night, all situations, 50pts a season, RHD with two years remaining after this season at 4.5mil AAV. Ya that is a high value asset.

Closest recent comparable trade is Chychrun which was a high 1st + 2 2nds with condition that one of those seconds could become a 1st.

Mittelstadt and Jokiharju aren't worth that and that is without even factoring in Markstrom who would 100 percent have value given the scarcity some contenders have in net.</div></div>

This happens every time. People vastly over value their own players. But he isn’t a number one barely a number 2. Markstrom has no value. His salary is way too high and hasn’t had average season in over two years. No team besides the Sabres would take him without salary retention. Mittelstadt has proved he is a legit top 6 center and could be serviceable number one center. And joker is young RHD. I believe Sabres are overpaying here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>donald</b></div><div>and with all the points made above this thread, it is asset management 101 to not sell at its lowest point. flames dont sell markstrom because he had a bad season lol</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>This exactly.

Vladar would then be our sole #1 and even though I think he gets very underappreciated by people who just look up sv% he is still not ready for 50+ games a season. Then on top of that Calgary would then be banking on UPL passing through waivers (so essentially a 3rd of the value from the trade could be lost for nothing) or have to keep Wolf in the minors when he should be in the NHL.</div></div>

Calgary should be rebuilding so having UPL play would be more beneficial then having top prospect get destroyed and lose confidence. Why rush Wolf into the league if team will be one of the worst in the league.

Sujet: What i would do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cory</b></div><div>Do you think their is just no interests in him from Buffalo or Buffalo just isn't willing to part with picks or prospects?

Here was my thought process and feel free to correct me on it.

Demelo = UPL
Hellebuyck = Middelstadt (figure he will always be a 3rd liner) Ostlund (prospects potential unless named McDavid, Crosby, Matthews are always unknown) the 1st will be a high pick if they make a run in the playoffs.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>He's still 30 and a pending UFA who wants a huge deal</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I think it's fair as long as there is an extension in place for Bucky that isnt north of 9. Casey has been a 3rd liner in BUF, UPL is still unproven and Noah has yet to make his NHL debut
Bucky's value is being undervalued terribly on this site. He's a 3 time vezina finals and one time winner. He's a top goalie still in his prime and should be valued as such.
Bucky makes Buf a playoff team, which is something sabers fans should be excited out. making this deal for him should be a no brainer. I still want him to stay in the Peg.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cory</b></div><div>Me too. I would much rather keep him and give him his 9 mil a year than trade him. I just wouldn't go anything over 5 years.</div></div>

This is way to much for aging goalie who will want a huge deal. If they wait till deadline value will be much lower because at that point everyone will know if he is even willing to resign and if they dont trade him they will lose him for nothing. If you look at past huge goalie trades Ryan miller is an example. Miller who was the best goalie in the league at that time and signed 5 year deal was trade with steve Ott for goalie who wouldnt play for sabres (halak), Chris stewart (similar to OTT so wash), Carrier ( B prospect), late 1st and 3rd.

In the trade you proposed sabres getting another dman which they have 10 NHL dman on roster. For you cost controlled center who put up 60 points playing thrid line minutes and limited PP time. When thompson was hurt in the end of the year played on top line and averaged over PPG. Young starting goalie. One of the sabres top propsects (in one of the deepest forward pools) and a first.

The value is not even close. they would be lucky to get half of that. if you compare it to miller deal. It would be Rusek, first and third for Helly.

Sujet: Devils vs sabres in 2 years
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HeadHighSauce</b></div><div>advantage on defense? Interesting.</div></div>

In two years hamilton will be 33 and on the decline. So, Samuelsson and Siegenthaler are wash both defensive dman. Samuelsson is 3 years younger but in two years they will both be in primes. Dahlin is by far the best player on both teams and in two years he will be top 3 dman in the league maybe one. Power will be better then Hughes and Nemec. They could be close but Power has played top 4 minutes already and has the size that is unmatched. The depth is where sabres will need to improve but the addition of clifton should help and we will have cap space to add in couple years. If we look at the top four. <strong>I am not sure you will find one guy who take devils top 4 over the Sabres over the next 5 seasons. </strong>
