<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>Pegula passes. 4.75 for the next 3 years isn't awful. Adams won't wanna block the kids, we already have too many Wingers, and we have Rosen from last year, plus 3 centers from this draft- all waiting for a spot. If last year is any indication, 18 goals and 45 points is fine, but it's still only one later first for a declining vet winger that's gonna block half a dozen kids, several of whom were first round picks. I doubt he'd waive anyway, but buffalo isn't a place to dump wingers or left d. <strong>Completely agree.</strong></div></div> Plus Poltapov, Kisakov, Bloom, Nadeau, Kozak etc. <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>Benn half retained has positive value imo <strong>Even a broken watch is correct twice a day, This is one of the few times Shibbal is correct.
Yes Benn at half salary has value, just not to the Sabres.
Skinner and Olofsson will score more and Asplund and Girgensons are solid defensive LW.
Adding another first and Hakanpää would be nice, but most likely the Sabres would pass.</strong></div></div>

Sujet: Robertson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Riley816</b></div><div>Sabres haven't played the cap dump for draft pick game.

First, the Sabres had the worse FO% of all NHL teams by a wide margin (there was a bigger difference between 32nd Sabres and 31st Devils than the Devils and 26th Krakens, Faksa won 55.5% of his FO over the past two years.
Second, the Sabres PK ranked 26th last year with a 76.4% success rate. Faksa was one of the Stars top PK forwards.
Third, Faksa is over paid by about $1,000,000 the second is a fair sweetener for that cap hit, but maybe Karmanos could squeeze another pick our of the Stars.
Fourth, I am actually happy that this was not a Robertson trade.

Sujet: Getting Robertson a different way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>A+ but I think we'd have to pay him more. Like 9M x 5</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greysuits</b></div><div>Maybe $8.4 is the limit for a first, second, and third. It's more than Dallas can afford so he might be willing to take it.</div></div> <strong>First</strong>, this is only a bit less than Chicago received for DeBrincat (7th OA, 2nd and 3rd) why should Robertson be worth significantly more than this.
<strong>Second</strong>, adding Robertson would certainly make Buffalo better.
<strong>Third</strong>, Buffalo may want to send players and prospects as their prospect pool is really deep.
<strong>Finally</strong>, Buffalo would be very vulnerable to other teams raiding our players (Cozens, Power, Krebs, Quinn, Savoie, etc.) in a few years, it would be best if Buffalo did not go down this path.
Montreal was severely punished when they did this a couple of years past.

Sujet: Lineups When Healthy and Getting Rid of Kerfoot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>That answer makes no sense. <strong>Nothing Shibbal says makes sense. It is even more senseless to respond to him more than once.</strong></div></div> You are correct "Kerfoot is significantly better than Hinostroza." But so is his salary!
Buffalo should accept this trade as Vinnie was free and with this trade, Buffalo gets an NHL quality forward and a third (nearly a fourth).
It is unlikely that Karmanos would disrespect Hinostroza as he signed with Buffalo to play for Granato.
<a href="/users/LaffsFan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@LaffsFan</a> Buffalo should make this trade as it does improve their roster and they get a pick for taking on Alex's salary.

Sujet: Sabres fans HELP
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Very optimistic but I like that. I agree strongly in the quality of Granato as a coach and how much his ability to foster our young players will lead us to be more successful than we "should" be on paper. I really think Quinn is going to blow his rookie season out of the water. He should get a lot of O-zone starts and be playing with some semblance of Cozens, Krebs, Mitts, Olofsson etc. which are all talented players. He can shoot the puck like an elite NHL goal scorer already, and he has the hockey IQ to be in the best spots offensively which will lead him to getting many "easy" goals.</div></div> Thank you!
My optimism is based on my eye test and not what the pundits are reporting.
It is difficult to not see the enthusiasm and camaraderie on the ice.
Remove Dell's awful 1-8-1 record from the 32-39-11 season and the Sabres could have been at 82 pts.
Using 82 as a true base line adding Power, Quinn, Lyubushkin and Comrie and Mittelstadt, Krebs, Tuch and Samuelsson for a full season should add an additional 8 pts.

Sujet: Robertson Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dickie_boon</b></div><div>not even close. stars with power+quinn+unprotected first with likely more. hes a superstar if your trying to pry him from dallas it has to be a MASSIVE offer <strong>Great then let Dallas magically produce the cap space to sign him.</strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MomsLuvDarien</b></div><div>That’s asking for an overpay 💀 <strong>This appears to be a massive over pay.</strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>And this is why we won't be going after Robertson. Power isn't on the table. <strong>Completely agree, see below.</strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>If he's so untouchable, why isn't he signed yet? <strong>Yup!</strong></div></div> Let me begin, adding Jason would certainly improve the Sabres.
Unfortunately, Buffalo has traveled down this rabbit hole of trading players, picks and prospects for established NHL players, I would pass on this six for one trade just for that reason.

Jason has one 40 goal season in his resume, please explain to me why 18 months younger Jason <strong>should </strong>be more valuable than DeBrincat who has two such seasons.
The package above is far more than what the Hawks received 7th OA, 2nd and third, Mittelstadt was taken 8th over all, Portillo is a top GK prospect, and a first.
On top of that, a first round LHD Johnson, two time 20 goal LW, and a past winner of the Salming award.
Oh BTW Dallas does not have the cap space to meet his salary requirements.

Stars fans will wail over this, but as a Sabre fan, this is an easy pass.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dickie_boon</b></div><div>its pretty much it but thomson and skiner were really good together i think its a given they play together. also sheltering krebs and quinn and building them up is what they should do imo so skinner thomson tuch first line then the young guns line krebs cozins quinn</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iks</b></div><div>Pilut will beat Bryson for spot. <strong>Lawrence has played well thus far and could easily be the sixth defenseman.</strong>
Anderson will be backup. <strong>From past experience I completely agree, but it would be great if Subban played well enough to be the back up.
It would certainly indicate GK would be much better than last year.
Malcolm had a very strong game yesterday stopping all 12 shots against.
He was considered one of Boston's top prospects when he was drafted.</strong>
I doubt Quinn beat Olofsson from day 1. <strong>While Quinn could find himself in the line up, Peterka would have to knock Asplund out of the line.
If Peterka could do that, the Sabres would have a much stronger forward line up than last year.</strong>
Asplund will be in the lineuop over Hinistroza. <strong>Or perhaps over Peterka.</strong></div></div> More observations.
Brandon Biro played really well yesterday and at 24 he is an older Rookie.
He won 80% of his face offs, and his first goal was a top shelf perfect shot when he was surrounded by four flyers.
Over all a rather disappointing performance.
While two shots found iron there were only 21 shots and 2 goals.
Okposo, Girgensons and Mittelstadt had zero shots.
Jokiharju and Power need to get on the same page.
Owen took out Henri on Konecny's goal leaving Tuch alone on a three on one break out.
Over all Henri did not have a great night, but it was only one game.
