I do know that Jbotts was having discussions with Calgary about Monahan last year. Whether he is still on the table is yet to be seen.

Maybe he liked Chris Taylor?

How does Frolik going to the KHL give us cap space, after our season is already over?

I was thinking Montour would go to Vancouver, and Risto would be sent elsewhere for assets that would then be used to help get Cirelli.

Almost for sure, yes. But I'm just exploring what that roster might look like. In that scenario, Risto, Montour, Mitts, and 8 were moved and we might get something small back prospect/picks wise

So that Roster would probably look something like this Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart Skinner-Cirelli-Boeser Johansson-Cozens-Kahun (or one of the other 2 at C) Lazar-Asplund-xxx (vet min 4th liner) Thompson Dahlin-Joki McCabe-Miller Xxx-Borgen (vet min LD) Xxx (vet min D) Ullmark Hutton We would definitely be much better at forwards, and significantly worse at D, with a wash to slight improvement at G (depending on how much of a factor Hutton's eyes were and age's decline). We would have no defensive depth to speak of, an injury to Dahlin or Joki easily puts that D group near the worst in the league. I would say that roster isn't necessarily playoff bound, but it could be better than this year, and definitely would be more exciting.

I am a young fan (18).Ive been a Sabres fan (loosely) since I can remember, growing up listening to the games over the radio with my Dad. The past couple years I have gotten more into it, despite a lack of success. Favorite Sabre: I would probably have to go with Ryan Miller. I don't recall any of the glory years, but he was an exciting player on decent teams. Honorable mentions to Vanek and Eichel. Most exciting moment: I went to the game against Philly during the 10 game win streak of last year. We DOMINATED that first period and it gave me hope for the year, leading to the most frustrating moment, of that team falling apart. How would I fix the team? I would go after a 2C, preferably Monahan or Cirelli (fully realizing that it won't happen) Then I would try to add another top 6 Rw, but I would only want to lose one of Risto/Montour to get these done. (Don't want to sacrifice our defensive integrity)

I would think we would need to shed 2 of the above to aquire both Boeser and Cirelli, and still fit under the cap.

Our 4th line+defense are gonna take a hit to get under the cap with that.

Montour+Thompson+4th for Boeser?

No, because our C depth is about equally bad to our RW depth, and C is more important. I'm not gonna sacrifice our C spine now and in the future for a RW. But pick 8... Maybe that would work for me.

Really? Im surprised that you would say that about the McDavid/Mackinnon+Host trades.

Got it. I was just asking because I didn't know the bolded. Drysdale would be in my top 7 of the prospects, but not sure if I would draft him at 8.

Is this your top 7 players, or top 7 players for the Sabres?

^Draft 6th October. Thanks for the post!

What would point cost, Risto, 8, and Cozens?

What do you guys think about Risto+Mitts+ pick (2nd?) for Monahan+Bennett?

Sam actually can play away from Jack, he just can't really do it as a C.

Undoubtedly. I would be appalled if the leafs or the penguins got ahold of lafreniere.

Incorrect- Tampa was the number 1 team last year, they would not have had a chance, as only teams 9-24 have a chance here. There is an additional round, a normal first round loss is about equivalent to a second round out this year.

I have not. The source is a friend, and I dont want to pressure new out, I just listen to what he tells me.

Maybe Dudacek is just trying to hide his identity here to a degree, so he isn't mentioning his Twitter account?

Larsson is a UFA, he is not an asset that we have to trade.

I think he preferred wine. I think he preferred wine.

About an hour out till we know. Please, hockey gods, be kind.
