Sujet: Zegras my Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Savoie is definitely an NHL caliber player. At worst he's a blue chip prospect. Idk anyone who would say he isn't/isn't trending to be a top line player. Rousek is also trending to be a full time NHL player. UPL is at worst an NHL backup goalie. The first on top of all that is too much. This is more than we got for eichel and even with his injury status at the time, holds more value than zegras does currently. This trade is not worth it for the Sabres.</div></div>

Eichel had a potential career-ending injury and was on a 10 mil cap hit at the time of the trade. This guy has the Eichel upside is just after an ELC, and won't command 10mil. Don't think it's fair to compare the two situations. UPL has a late round pick value with his numbers, recent development and non-waiver exempt status, Rousek has a value of like a 3rd round pick...if we are optimistic. Savoie has upside for sure but could bust, just like any prospect that hasn't played more than a season in the NHL and he hasn't sniffed the NHL yet and may be behind some of our other prospects already. I'd trade a package like that for someone proven with the upside of Zegras, it doesn't have to be Zegras specifically but he works too as long as the management are sure he won't be a cancer in the dressing room.

Sujet: Playoff Team - Hart Karlsson Nosek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>B_seka17</b></div><div>I agree that I don’t think the Sabres are the right fit for him but the Flyers are in no rush to move him and if they do quality assets need the come in the return. The Flyers have full leverage in this scenario and won’t move him unless the return is truly worth it</div></div>

I think the Sabres are a perfect fit for Hart, what do you mean you agree. As I said when you have Hart and Levi, chances are one of them will prove an actual NHL starter. Hart hasn't proven that yet. Someone mentioned Hellebyuk above - I think he's a bad fit for Buffalo as you will absolutely have to re-sign him and give up a ton for him as he's proven quality NHL goalie, and yet you have Levi sitting there who I think has a better than 50% chance to turn into a quality NHL starter in a couple of years.

Sujet: Playoff Team - Hart Karlsson Nosek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>B_seka17</b></div><div>I disagree he is pretty proven. Last year he was great and the year before he was solid, all on a bad team as well. Plus Hart doesn’t need to go, and he won’t go unless a first round pick is involved, not a variety of scraps</div></div>

He's hovering around .905 average for the last 3 seasons and 3 GAA and already makes nearly 4mil, no one is giving up multiple firsts for him. Because what you listed basically equates to a couple of late 1st round picks. Frankly I think I think he's a risk for the Sabres too but you buy him and hope either him or Levi works our long term, no team would bank on Hart solely because he has not proven he can do it so far (and 2 late 1sts implies you are banking on him to be a sure starter).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jcash08</b></div><div>I think you're gonna see some offer sheets this year, because the teams with the most top end players to be given offer sheets are in Cap Crunches (Winnipeg, Toronto, and Tampa). If Toronto holds out and doesn't offer Kappenen or Johnsson more than 2.5-3 starting off and holds out like last year with Nylander I think you will see offer sheets start coming.

IMO because they already have to find a way to sign Marner I think it's going to take longer to get Johnsson and Kapanen deals done which presents a better opportunity for an Offer Sheet.</div></div>

Johnsson can be taken to arbitration so there is a way out for Toronto on him. I think someone like Sabres can get Kappy for a 2nd rounder at 4.2 as I can't see how Toronto can match that considering what Marner will likely make. That's assuming kappy is not traded before offersheet period starts of course.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>You may not like our Goalie situation but it is far from pathetic..... the issue with the goaltending had more to do with our defensive lapses and inability to play defense (forwards were atrocious in the defensive zone) and our teams woeful offense (we were last in the league in goals scored).

If you listen to GMBots interview and the end of the season and then in subsequent interviews when he was asked about Ullmark. His responses included:

'Linus has done everything the organization has asked of a young net minder he has demonstrated that he deserves the opportunity in 18/19'
'Linus will be the #1 goalie in Buffalo in 18/19 barring an injury or setback'
'I will be looking for a mentor for Ullmark who can play 25 games as I definitely see Linus playing at least 50% of the games next year'

If a 2nd year GM goes out and makes these types of statements then goes and trades for a potential #1 goalie what does that say to all the young players in his organization...... do not believe anything I say to you...... that is not how you build a winning culture in an organization.....

GMBots likes his 'young goalie' situation so I do not see him dealing assets away for a backup.... he did that last year for Johnson and it did not work out well.</div></div>

You are drinking some cool-aid. We can't put all our eggs in the Ullmark basket who just got lit up like a Christmas tree by a bunch of AHLers only a few weeks ago. We need some other viable option for a solution to our situation in goal. Grubauer is that player.

Also the quotes you gave are literally made up.

Sujet: Trading ROR and Okposo for youth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greysuits</b></div><div>I think it would be tough for MTL to pull the trigger on that trade. The top 4 in this draft is so good I think it will take a lot to trade into one of those picks.

I also think the ducks would want a player back in addition to the picks. I think the Sabres would have to throw on a Baily or Baptiste to get the #20 overall.</div></div>

Well, I would add Fasching to the 2 2nds if absolutely needed instead if trading him to LA. Dont think it would take more than that and if it does, Id just use the picks or trade for a slightly later pick using the same bait if Wilde or someone of his caliber is still there at 22-23 for example. The MTL trades assumes they are picking 5 or 6 and not top4 so they would miss out on the absolute elite. I think there is a good chance they take it as thry need a C of at least RORs caliber badly and there arent that elite Cs available in the top10 this year.
