Sujet: Would we be able to get two roster players from SJS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>Asplund has *supposedly* been good defensively for us,
yet still can’t nail down a defensive line role
Biro &amp; Rousek MIGHT be good defensive players in the NHL,
but they also might need time before they’re ready for that role

I found it weird to name Okposo “Captain” to begin with
As good of a season as he had last year, there’s no way he’s gonna be here long term
And he’s seemingly taken quite a step back this year
I don’t have a clue what the Sabres are thinking with him

I’m not saying they definitely will get rid of Okposo,
or Girgs for that matter- but i see it as a real possibility
And if they do,
then i don’t see any way they’re turning over those roles to a kid up from the AHL or even Asplund (at this point)

So i do think they’ll bring in a guy or 2,
even if it’s just on a 1 or 2year contract

Maybe they’d try n bring back Foligno?
Or in this case, a guy like Wood is seemingly a fit as well</div></div>

Wood is bad defensively though, on top of being bad at everything else.
He's never going to make sense for a contending NHL team.

Your context is " he's bad " and " he's a liability on special teams". But you're right, I'm sure you've watched ALL 1 minute and 52 seconds of him killing penalties this season, so I'm sorry for assuming you don't watch him play.</div></div>

You realize you're making the same arguments about Wood that were made for Ristolainen right? This is such a silly conversation when your side has been proved wrong at every turn of hockey discussion about every player these discussions are about. The asteroid has already hit. It's time to adapt.

Sujet: Meier and Bring Him Home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>I’m not saying that adding a talented player is a bad idea
BUT
We could also wait till the offseason &amp; check out the UFA market
And if we don’t find anything, then we could look to make a trade

I’m not saying that’s necessarily how we have to do it,
but that is an option where we don’t have to give up all the picks/prospects it would take to get a player like that

Also, I don’t think we need to speed up the rebuild
If the price is right, then sure, go for it
But there’s not too many players out there I’d overpay for
Not that u necessarily are in this proposed deal,
but a real life deal for Meier (or someone similar) could very well cost more</div></div>

I don't think there's a UFA winger that I would rather have this offseason than Meier.
Pasta would likely be the only one I'd consider, but I think we'll get Meier locked up for 3-4M less AAV.
I don't wanna miss out on an elite player by waiting too long to pull the trigger, or by holding out hope that every prospect will turn to gold.
