What about our defenses' contribution?

Guessing it's a joke, but if it isn't, did you see his comments on hating buffalo? No way he signs here.

If they offer sheet Aho, I am confident that they will make the playoffs at least 3 of the next 4 years. How much are those picks in the 20s actually worth?

I would love to offer sheet Aho for 9-9.5 mil a season. I would think you couldn't go over Jack's 10 though.

Who is your specific roster target?

They are desperate for cap space. If they had more cap space, I don't think this trade would be made, or at least the price would be much steeper.

Risto for RNH+ could be a decent trade. Your Toronto trade is far to buffalo sided

I'll leave it until someone starts complaining

Sounds good to me.

Alright, but before I change it, what should I change it to? I'm not so sure the thread really is about the 2020-2021 lineup anymore.

I meant for it to be 2020-2021 lineup, but I messed up on that, and I'm not sure how to change the title.

The "making a deal instead" of the offer sheet will never work out well. You would want something worth less than the 4 firsts (or whatever bracket it's in) and they would want more. If you don't give them a better offer, they can just walk away and get their picks. Your scenario really doesn't help us much at all in lessening the assets we would give up.

Trouba RoR Kane Skinner Take your pick really.

I loved the thanksgiving eve game against the Flyers during the streak. That first period was awesome. It also happened to be one of the only two games I made it to last year. (Both wins)

I'm hoping UPL will make it to the NHL by then. You can protect one goalie, and UPL is exempt. No need to bring in one just to lose it.

The blues in 2017-2018 and missed the playoffs. They won the cup the next year.

I would say he is as much of a prospect as Casey. They both have played too much in the NHLto be considered a prospect, but are nowhere near done developing.

Happy we picked a defenseman fairly high. I've heard next year's class is packed at the top with forwards.

Hey, if he does it at the age mitts did, I will be very happy with him.

What do we think?

I believe that the 2019-2020 season will be more about growth and seeing what the Sabres have more than anything. I do not see Jbots making any major trades to improve our current team. There may be a couple minor free agent signings. I think that 2020-2021 will be the year that we finally get somewhere. Young guys will have finally made the jump. Mitts will be ready to take up the 2C mantle. Cozens will be starting out. What are some projections for our lineup then? Heres mine: FA/trade- Eichel- Oloffson Skinner-Mitts-Reinhart Sheary-Cozens-Erod Larsson-Asplund-Okposo Dahlin-Montour Mccabe-Risto Fa/trade/prospect-Borgen UPL Ullmark There will certainly different players brought in, this is a VERY early projection. I have Skinner on line 2 because I think olofson will produce similar to Skinner with Eichel, but will not if he is not with Eichel. I expect Nylander to have been traded by then. Thoughts?

The condition is if the cannucks don't make the playoffs, they keep their first and it goes to 2021. I would make that trade for the Sabres if I was jbotts. If we make the playoffs this year, we get good value for our late teens/twenties pick. If not, we would be making the playoffs in 2021 and the pick would still be good value. Of course, if they don't make the playoffs then, it won't be jbotts problem anymore, because he will be fired.

So what do we like/dislike about him?

That'd be good with me

Huh
