<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzmets</b></div><div>I think if their isn't a deal for a top level d to add then Adams can overpay slightly for a ufa that would likely still be at a better cap number than Petry and much younger.

To sum up Petry would be a good two year solution but is too expensive.
2023-'24 is not a problem and Buffalo could fit his salary in 2024-'25 if they could add a more ELC.
My penny and half, take Petry if Buffalo cannot sign a UFA RHD during the off season, but the Penguins need to add a sweetener.
Since, the UFA window opens after the draft, it would need to be a 2024 draft pick.
Two years of $4,375,000 cost the Islanders two seconds and a third to move Ladd, Buffalo should be expecting at least a second and third for taking Petry regardless much the Penguins fan cry foul.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Swayman ranks 31st is starts over the last 2 seasons, so saying he's never even been a 1A is laughable.

Vanecek when traded to Washington was 26yrs old and had a 2.68 GAA / .908 SV% / 6 SO. Swayman is 24yrs old and has a 2.24 GAA / .920 SV% / 9 SO

^The only comparable of the two is they both play goalie.

As for the OS, Boston easily matches a $4.2 million offer and either moves Ullmark or takes a hit elsewhere.</div></div>

One of them has played behind a historically great team too. Make it UPL and a second MAYBE, but saying a "High-end prospect" or a first + is silly IMO. But again, I'm not an NHL GM and I don't spend all day every day creating valuations on players and scheming trades. I made this on my lunchbreak in 15 minutes as something I'd like to see :tearsofjoy

And I think admitting that fitting in a 4.2 AAV contract will require you to trade the likely vezina winner this year or "take a hit elsewhere" immediately disqualifies it from being "easy to match".

So it's not happening. Plus having Eichel and Reinhart on the books. Probably hurts your ability to re-sign both Dahlin and Power.</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>Kinda threw up in my mouth a bit!!</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I'm happy with adams. He did pretty well on the eichel trade, and the Reinhart and ristolainen trades have been very good so far. I kinda wish he would shoot a little higher in net, I totally get not wanting to overpay for a goalie, but you've gotta shoot for at least average. I hope philosophically he would like to add some size and grit, especially on d.</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Sabres no doubt win that Eichel trade...</div></div> First, Just to be clear, when I saw Tuch was coming to Buffalo I knew Buffalo won.
Right now, I would not trade Tuch for Eichel if that was the offer.
Second, when I saw that we only got a first and a former 7th roung pick for Sam, I nearly fainted.
Then when I was able to research Devon, I was more than satisfied.
Karmanos, Ventura and Crowe certainly had a lot to do with all of the deals (Sam, Rasmus and Jack).

EDIT: Let me add, thanks for reminding me that Jordan was actually part of the Jack trade.
I was not thrilled with giving up a second for Greenway, but maybe it will turn out exceptionally well.

Sujet: Next year after last night
Jokiharju, Mittelstadt and Olofsson are not the reasons the Sabres lost last night.
Not having Samuelsson or Thompson in the line up. wearing the home ice blue and playing on home ice had more to do with the defeat.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>asauer1122</b></div><div>Lance,Chad lol. They are glorified armchair GMs. Unless you have been told by Terry pegula, Kevyn Adams, and donny granato, your thoughts, along with mine are useless. Your opinion is just that, an opinion. And for what its worth alot of those "lance and chads" think savoie is nhl bound next season so the argument doesnt make sense. And if kulich is making the team it still leaves them needing to make room.</div></div> Chad, Sion Fawkes, Bill Hoppe and Mike Harrington are all useless for one reason or another.
I trust Lance more than any of them and Mellissa offers more insight than Chad, or Sion.
In general we agree that they often miss the mark.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Finn2016</b></div><div>ThRees been suggestions that Savoie should go play in Sweden. Sounds good to me.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUF10</b></div><div>Rousek and Biro will be their 13th and 14th forwards. I think Kulich goes back to the AHL and Savoie gets the Shane Wright treatment. 9 spread apart games 2 week AHL stint that sent to world juniors than spend another half season in the WHL.</div></div> Regardless where they play, they are both really close to NHL ready.
Completely agree that they will get a chance.
We may see that the closer to NHL ready the fewer games they may see at the beginning of the season, so they could be brought up at the end of the season and not exceed the 9 game threshold.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sahbrays</b></div><div>I don't think anyone who's watched 37 can justify giving him away for nothing anymore after the past 3.5 months. OK with moving him in a package to upgrade though, <strong>OMG, finally someone else is watching the same gams as I and not reading other peoples posts.</strong></div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div><strong>My bold roster predictions for 23/24:</strong>

- Greenway and Mittelstadt remain Sabres
- Kulich stays in AHL
- Biro is traded
- Rousek is 13th forward
- Savoie makes team out of camp and sticks or plays in the WHL (not for Winnipeg, they would almost assuredly deal his rights)
- Bryson is traded, Lyubushkin is 7th D
- Comrie UPL is the tandem</div></div> Absolutely the most likely.
Let's hope Johnson signs.
While he is young Levi just may be the rotation before the end of the year.
<strong>EDIT</strong> Kulich has been on fire since the end of January
21 pts and 14 goals in his last 24 games, v 19 and 7 goals over his first 31 games.
Remember he is playing against men in the AHL and he is younger than either Quinn or Peterka their first full year in the AHL.
Besides look at his picture on HockeyDB, he looks like he can stand up to the rigors of he NHL. LOL!
