They will be unloading some forwards Nylander? Manner? Kerfoot, Kapanen to acquire some Right sided defense. Would you trade Risto for William Nylander? Leafs need to unload cap.

For those of you thinking that Dylan Strome is the answer at 2C..Alex Nylander got more ice time than Strome did last night in a key playoff game.

Most unbiased observers feel that is equal value although I would rather give up Montour than Risto, but I feel Toronto wants Ristos physicality.

Unfortunately I think the team is Toronto with Risto or Montour being traded for Kerfoot and Kapanen. Kerfoot is not really a 2C although he would be on the the Sabres. Toronto needs to shed salary and is desperate for RD.

I would advise everyone to watch “Searching for Sugarman”. It’s a 2 hour documentary true story about a music star. I don’t want to give much away but it’s a heartwarming story on Netflix

If Dubas wants Montour I would do the deal. I think Ralph likes Risto more than Montour.

I don’t want Wayne Simmons. The Cap can be spent on a better G than Allen or a LD

Yes I would prefer to unload Montour instead of Risto, but I'm sure Toronto would rather have Risto since he adds a physical presence they lack.

Toronto is desperate for RD and has forward surplus and cap issues. We can’t worry about rivals. We need to become a legitimate NHL team

I think Toronto moves Kerfoot and Kapanen for Risto. This helps Toronto with the cap. We may have to retain a bit.

NFW. This proposal should get you banished from the board, and I love Cirelli.

There has never been an effective vaccine for a coronavirus.

We will be in cap trouble very soon. We need good young cheap players. You get those by drafting well. Skinner’s and Okposo’s contracts are both brutal in a fixed future cap world.

Well after Cuomo killed off most of the medically fragile in the nursing homes and refused to accept responsibility, the death rate has fallen. I guess that is one way to have a decreasing death rate.

We can’t give up #8 with a flat cap looming. We have no high end young talent on entry level contracts except Cozens

NFW

We essentially have no one who is capable of scoring away from Jack.

Those contracts were all signed with the expectation of a rising cap for the foreseeable future. We now know that is not happening.

I think they should put VO on the second line. Without Eichel we will see his true value which many will be disappointed with. He is likely to suffer the same fate as Skinner did this year. We should not inflate his future contract by playing VO with Eichel, but rather put Skinner back on the top line since he is already grossly overpaid.

I graduated high school in 81 but I didn’t attend elementary school in williamsville. It’s quite possible you are correct. I never appreciated the lack of diversity. I currently live in in atlanta and 2 of my closest friends are huge bills/Sabres fans from buffalo both Indians although they are 10 years younger than me.

You were the first non Caucasian in the entire Williamsville school district? I attended Mill Middle and Williamsville East and I’m older than you. When I attended high school there were some Indians among my close friends.

We should only be trading our defensemen not our top forwards. Under no circumstances is Cozens to be traded.

with a stagnant cap and many teams spending under the cap, I expect Larsson's value to be depressed. Hopefully we can retain him for less like 3 years 6 million.

Being the 13th forward is not acceptable for his development. I believe if he has to be in the NHL he will be slotted in as a bottom 6 starter. The days of buyouts and spending to the cap are over. The Sabres like many other teams will be entering a period of austerity.

Have we established that Thompson can play in AHL without passing waivers?
