Sujet: Would this lineup be a contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>I just don't really see the point in paying that much to get Boeser in.
He really isn't playing well this year and is unlikely to be good value at even 4.65m.
Maybe if the Canucks retained all the way to 50% he could be interesting, but even then I'd just rather have Mercer in the top 6 over him.

I get that you may not be aware of who Gritsyuk really is but moving him for Boeser is completely out of the question.
By the start of the 23/24 season, and if Gritsyuk is in NA by then, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he were an outright better player than Boeser at that point in time, if he isn't already.</div></div>
Devils advocate pun intended…

Boeser is still on a 60pt pace &amp; not on PP1. Now that Bo is gone expect him back on it. It’s one thing to pick on a single season that isn’t over. It’s getting stale. You cannot honestly believe he has nothing more to give? Also given the coach carousel &amp; constant line blender most wingers are not doing well other than Kuzmenko. Change of scenery can only help. On his 6.65m cap hit there is some merit in that the flat cap has made it a league wide issue to move many players. It deflates value across the board.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>I presume we all had a chance to see a preview of a playoff game against the Canes.
Playing either the Canes or Bruins would most likely end poorly.
So my questions for today-
What would the Sabres gain by trading away assets to make the playoffs this year?
Which has more value 28th OA or Jiri Kulich; or 34th OA or John Peterka?
Would it not be wiser to let this season play out, use the current draft capital to add to the prospect pool then trade either prospects or established NHL performers (i.e. Olofsson) to fill in holes next TDL or the off season?
Savoie, Kulich, Ostund, 2023 first and other forward prospects could be on the team in two years or sooner, replacing Asplund, Okposo, Girgensons, Hinostroza, Olofsson.
As a season ticket holder from the beginning (yes I am really old my friends), few people want to see a Sabre raise a cup more than I, but adding Meier, Demko or others may upset the chemistry (IDK just spitballin') as well as the team cap.
Moving up to get Peterka was brilliant, Kulich falling to 28th OA was a stroke of luck.
Jeramiah Crowe has done a great job drafting, let him continue to perform his voodoo magic.
Continue to draft well, sign Johnson, Portillo and Levi, build on the comoradrie that Granato has generatrf, playout this year with the cards dealt and be better next year.
Maybe this TDL cap strapped teams will gift d-men to the Sabres at the TDL, one can only hope!
Well that is my tome of the day.</div></div>

Cannot see how Demko can upset chemistry or cap.
