<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>But what does that have to do with Georgiev, hes not a vet, hes not experienced, he has no championships, and would not be a part of Buffalos future.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... again, did you even read my last post? Georgiev isn't a veteran, interesting as he's played about 100 games, more than 33 games in two seasons, once during a shortened season. He could easily be a starting goalie on about 10 NHL teams today plus is leaps and bounds better than your AHL goalie and someone who is literally on his last leg. The point is you want to field a competitive team with some of your young core players that I assume your GM intends to build around (Dahlin, Thompson, Mittelstadt, and Cozens). Georgiev will definitely make the Sabres more competitive today, if you want to debate that I honestly am going to question how much of Georgiev, Dell, and Anderson you watched in the last two years. It's about having a goalie in net that gives you a chance to win games, Ullmark did that for you, having Geogiev would provide the Sabres a chance to field a competitive team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>No doubt- everything about the Buch trade was/is disappointing...and for that to be one of Drury's first big decisions did't help. But there are a lot of questions we'll never have an answer to: mainly how far apart were he and NYR; and what other offers were out there for Buch- who was arb eligible, coming off a big year, and able to go UFA in a year. As far as the return- Blais is no Buch- but many hockey guys think he can be a real contributor- and may have another gear in what he brings. And the 2nd round pick (should they keep it) may very well be a pick in the 40's or 50's in a supposedly very deep draft.
As far as Tinordi- the guy really isn't an NHL player...when NYR play Wash opening night in addition to the new guys, Kreider, Trouba, and Lindgren will be playing...hopefully along with Goodrow and Blais the physical component is already in the lineup...otherwise dress Tinordi as a 7D and go with 11F in games where his presence is needed...Hopefully his services are better put to use in Hartford as a protective measure for our youngins who we need to develop in what can be a bloodbath in the AHL.</div></div>

Blais has never played more than 40 games in a season, I hope he turns out to be a quality 4th liner, but giving away a 1st line player who was probably the best all around player last season is a hard pill to swallow when you got the same thing we got for Lias Anderson plus Blais.

Tinordi was clearly signed to be the 7th man and will be dressed when we play teams like Washington, Islanders, Bruins, etc. He is why we won't be trading for Reeves. I am still curious if we somehow end up with Ritchie... we shall see.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Yeah getting an over priced 25 year old mediocre russian back up goalie is really going to turn around the season and help develop Dahlin, Cozens, and Mittelstadt. What planet are you on</div></div>

I know 2.45 million may be a bit rich for such a frugal organization to pay for someone who could be a starter on at least ten other NHL teams, but hey spend your money on Skinner, Okposso, Butcher, and Eakins while surrounding kids with a bunch of scrubs, it will work out great! You won't become the next Edmonton Oilers filled with tons of high end talent a culture of losing, no defense, and no goaltending. If you think Georgiev isn't a vast improvement over Anderson and Dell, I have to question if you have even been watching hockey the past few years?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Forbesy</b></div><div>That's a nice package for eichel, unfortunately he isn't going to get close to that. Adam's waited to long to deal him and now he pinned himself against free agency. A lot of the teams that maybe had the cap space to add 10mill have now filled out their rosters, which takes out a potential bidding war. My question is would he really keep eichel for another year if he doesn't get exactly what he wants.</div></div>

As Forbesy said, Adams waited too long. Rangers just signed Nemeth to pair with Lundkvist, a kid who some are saying is the best defensive prospect in the league, he only broke all of Hedman and Karlsson's under 20 records in the SHL. He isn't being traded.

For Kakko to be traded the Sabres will need to retain salary, taking far less of a return, and that seems to be the sticking point from what I've heard. Likely some combination (3-4 pieces) of Chytil, Georgiev, Jones, Kravstov and a 1st are all that's being offered at this point. Just a matter if Sabres will go into this season with an unhappy captain, I can't see that happening, whether they trade him to use or someone else.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Hes taking all of Buch's PK minutes at least and Gallant is notorious for playing his 4th line very generously, also neither Kakko or Kravtsov know who they're playing with but Buch was traded with Kravtsov needing top 6 minutes in mind and both the 1st line and the 2nd line are top 6</div></div>

We shall see, but I'd be shocked if Goodrow isn't on the 3rd line at least. One of Kreider or Kravstov is not getting top 6 minutes, as Bread, Laf and Kakko are locked in. So either Kravstov gets dealt, or he or Kreider end up on the 3rd line. If we go for balance Goodrow-Chytil-Kravstov would be my prediction. If we want to have 3 lines that can score, similar to 2014 Kreider-Chytil-Goodrow is a very strong 3rd line.
