Grading these trades:

Meier - F
Sharks can keep Meier. Too expensive and Quinn will do fine within the next year or 2. Too lopsided. Sabres lose too much to make this worth it.

Vejmelka - B
I don't have much issue with the Vejmelka trade tbh but I doubt Yotes accept. Think it's a quantity over quality issue but if they take then fine.

Klingberg - B- (B+ with modifications)
I am very on the fence about Klingberg. A change of scenery didn't seem to help him in Anaheim but that needs to be taken with a grain of salt as people try to contain that dumpster fire. Another change of scenery to a tentative buyer like Buffalo might just be exactly what he needs and who knows, putting him with Power might just.... that top 4 would rock. That being said, it might a gamble losing Boosh for someone who has potential but might be bust. My biggest issue with the trade itself is just losing him. Maybe swap him for Clague or Bryson? Idk

Sujet: reunited and it feels so good
I would rather have Skinner on that top line with Tuch and Thompson. They have the chemistry and are lighting it up.
On top of that Kulich is a fantastic prospect that will develop around the time the sabres really light up and fill in that gap on the third line.
[Insert 1st Rd Pick here] is going to be a great player, as this is such a deep draft, and will only add to the sabres' already impressive prospect pool.

I don't think the sabres do this trade. GMKA has a solid plan and the evidence is there that his plan is working. The sabres wont go into "win now" mode at the cost of their future.
Olofsson and Mittlestatd are your best options for trade bait
Johnson is an option as well
I am sure there are a few others but i think those are the best out of who is available.

Sujet: Sabres Wild card TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I think the Sabres are absolutely heading the right way. Unfortunately for many hockey fans, they aren't going to get the benefit of the doubt. It's bizarre that fans of teams that finished behind us feel like they can dunk on us, no worries, there's no awards for winning the summer. Should be a good year, absolutely nobody is picking the Sabres to do anything, except maybe beat the Habs.</div></div>

Absolutely agree. I am completely stoked. With the additions that Detroit and Ottawa made, they will be better but the joke will be on them when the Sabres' remarkable prospect pool begins showing huge dividends, creating a team that will be competitive for years. The future is bright in Buffalo. Anyone who can't see that is in for quite a surprise in a couple years.

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Nazem Kadri (7 Years / $7,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DongLord23</b></div><div>"Kadri and he could play well into his 40s"

Who has played well into their 40s? Like less than 10 players in NHL history? Most of them being some of the greatest ever like Howe &amp; Jagr.

Kadri has had one great season in his career. It's a big maybe if he can continue that kind of play next year let alone play into his 40s lol.</div></div>



I feel like my point was lost. What I mean is that nobody knows what the future will hold. Is it likely that he makes it to 40 and still plays? No. That's a long shot but one that is still possible. It's also possible he gets injured in the first game he plays for CGY and never plays again. Extremes as an example. And yes, he has only had one outstanding season to date and even if he never matches what he did last season again, he is still a great 2C who will be able to contribute.

Of course, it is also entirely possible that he does have another great year or even tops it and that 7m starts to look like a bargain.
