<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>I understand your point, and in general I agree, Buffalo doesn’t really need Trevor Zegras anyway. But Boston in particular has nothing for prospects. Their farm system is practically bone dry which I find hilarious. Yes, they have a couple top end prospects, but they need them to play right now so they can stay under the cap.</div></div>

I was gonna say pretty much that about the Bruins. That's what happens in a flat cap league, where you have been very good for years, and you can't be guaranteed high end talent outside of the top 5-10 picks in the draft. The Sabres are gonna be linked to all the shiny toys for a bit, lots of high end prospects and at least some cap room. If you are selling a talented young player, Buffalo should be your first call.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Believing AHL Goalie Comrie is the same as Future NHL Starter Vladar is what's laughable. Comrie cashed in after finally having one decent year as a backup in WPG, but he's been terrible otherwise. BUF will end up burying Comrie in the minors and will be looking for another Goalie for sure

Stillman sucks, so go ahead and keep him. Only reason I took him back was for BUF taking Rooney off our hands and as a replacement for Gilbert who I sent to replace Lyubushkin's Physicality. I immediately flipped Stillman away anyways, so he's not an attractive addition

Where does Lyubushkin fit in after signing Clifton &amp; Johnson!? I bet Lyubushkin or Jokiharju get waived and claimed for free, otherwise BUF will have to pay to bury them, so they might as well retain on and get something for them</div></div>

Vladar blows
We aren’t looking for a “future starter” anyways, we have Levi
And Vladar is a mediocre backup, not a future starter

We might trade a defenseman
We might carry 8 &amp; just send down Bryson

Congrats on having ZERO workable knowledge on our team
Wouldn’t take those guys you’re offering…. for free
They’re garbage, we have better
No thanks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>With the current salary cap situation, any defenseman making $6 million is making number one pairing money. If the cap should go up enough you can make the case that $6.5 million is a high end second pairing defender. But at the current rate I would almost argue any defender making over $5 million is making number one pairing money.</div></div>

That’s fair. But you’re paying on the front end as that number will gradually increase with the cap looking to be increasing.

Parayko is paid to be a first pairing guy. He’s asked to be a bonafide number 1 who plays heavy shutdown with a lesser partner (the Pietrangelo treatment). He’s not prime Pietrangelo. He has a few holes in his game that don’t allow him to be Pietrangelo. Mainly his weakness of his first pass. But he’s is extremely elite at certain aspects as well.

The issue the Blues have on the defensive contracts is they have a group of guys they’re paying that don’t fit roles they need to to play to their strengths. Parayko is a bit of an outlier as he’s just been getting hammered to shelter everyone else.

Krug, Parayko, Faulk, Lindholm and Fowler occupy the 29th-34th highest paid defenseman on an annual basis. So in an essence yes they are being paid to be number ones. But they’re paid to be the worst number ones in the NHL.

All 3 on their own aren’t really bad contracts. Krugs isn’t great, but he’s being paid to generate offense and he’s done so over his career at a higher clip than Morgan Reilly for one who isn’t really looked at in as bad of a light.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1234</b></div><div>Yeah cause a 30+ goal scorer with only a 3 million cap hit isn’t worth at least a 1st lol.</div></div> Here is the deal.
Yes Guentzel is a scoring machine no doubt about it, he is also Crosby's wing man over 80% of the time.
Kulich is nearly 10 years younger than Jake and just set a record for the most AHL goals in one season by a teenager.
He has a goal in 4 straight Calder cup games and the Amerks have won every game in which he dressed.
I am sure some one will give up a first and an "A" prospect for him but it will not be the Sabres as <strong>Juri appears to have a 30 goal/year NHL future</strong> as well.
