These are actually REASONABLE MOVES the Sabres could &amp; should make

Gonna have to give up more for Sturm, as there’s no reason for SJ to move him or give him away- maybe a 2nd does the trick?
Or maybe they’d take a lower pick if they like one of our prospects like Kisakov, etc etc?
No way to know- just guessing there - but I’m sure we could figure out the right value

DeMelo also makes a lot of sense for us
Maybe we gotta pay him a bit more to get him to come here though?
But I’d be alright with doing that- he’s EXACTLY what we need

Reimer also make perfect sense as a Vet backup


Nice job dude
Better than 99% of the other Sabres ACGMs on here,
which are generally just unrealistic or excuses for fans to just whine &amp; complain</div></div>

Thank you very much! It isn't sexy, but I feel like they will address things with some more proven veterans. Anytime I do an ACGM with a ton of trades or acquiring a big-named player like Pettersson or Tkachuk, I know it is extremely unrealistic, but I like to dream.

I agree with the Sturm part - I wasn't sure his evaluation, but I would be fine giving up a 2nd. Get someone that continues to help your bottom six, but provides upside.

I read some of your comments below and I am with you on the back and forth with Roy and DeMelo. I don't think you can go wrong either way, and I think it is about finding a long-term partner for Power to help him really step into the player he is supposed to be. I would be okay with moving Samuelsson as well. I think Johnson will be a very good bottom-pairing defensemen for his career with potential to play in the top four, but I really think Novikov is going to be something. He would have gone higher in his draft year if there weren't questions about him being able to come here. Scott Wheeler ranked him as the Sabres 7th best prospect, ahead of guys like Johnson, Strbak, and McCarthy, which is amazing. I think he will be the ying to Johnson's yang on the bottom pairing, despite both being LHD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>It wasn’t me who proposed the deal.

If anyone is proposing a deal that moves an overpaid, underperforming player making $4.75m on an expiring deal to a team that has no chance of making the playoffs, it’s a cap dump. There is absolutely no upside to the receiving team other than the draft capital that accompanies the player.

Regardless of how much cap space the team trading the player has, it is a cap dump.</div></div>

As the creator of the post, I thought I had read that Chicago was looking for a scoring winger somewhere. I was clearly wrong and don't have the correct team or valuation on his return, but it was not a cap dump seeing as the Sabres have plenty of cap space and probably would retain half of his contract in order to send him somewhere else to get a higher return.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>VGK can’t afford Mitts under their Cap moving forward

NyR trade is interesting….
BUT
1- they would have to see Jokiharju as a suitable replacement for Schneider- which they should FOR NOW, but do they see Jokiharju as good enough to take Trouba’s spot in the too4 in a couple years???
2- they’d have to like Krebs &amp; see him as their long term 3C
This is “possible” but they could also not have interest in him</div></div>

I've been trying to find "physical, defensive-defensemen" throughout the league that aren't overpaid or too old. Korczak has always been a guy I like and Schneider would be great, but you guys are spot on. I know it'll never happen, but if it were to happen, the Sabres could offer young players (as they could for any player) and take advantage of any team's cap situation.

While they're better defensively, it would be nice to have guys to put with the offensive-defensemen that allows them to be themselves. Plus, having some more grit without completely losing offensive ability/skill is something needed.
