thewookie1 Posted February 3, 2023 Report Posted February 3, 2023 Essentially if we trade 2 1sts and a 2nd for Meier and aren’t able to sign him next year; we likely would only be able to recoup, at most, a conditional 1st due to his UFA status. I’d love to make the playoffs but spending that much to merely have a chance to make the playoffs isn’t worth it. Meier doesn’t magically make us a dark horse Cup contender. This is not the time to throw large assets at short term bandaids 1 3 Quote

If we cant extend him next season we won't get what we paid to get him. Unless we can convince him to sign an offer sheet with someone. Timo: help us... help you.

North Buffalo Posted February 4, 2023 Report Posted February 4, 2023 Luckily it isnt our decision but I agree Sabres need both a Timo Meier and Luke Schenn type add to be competitive... Whether via trade, signing as a ufas... these guys are within reach which has folks here excited and opinionated... Me I'm not sure if these particular two are the right choice but Sabres should do their due diligence... Could see Schenn as an easier get... nice thing is finally seeing some passionate disagreements not everyone agreeing the Sabres suck. 1 Quote
sweetlou Posted February 4, 2023 Report Posted February 4, 2023 Again having so many young players with no playoff experience, the goal of this year should to get there if you are this close. The Sabres have vets like Girls, Skinner, Thompson, Mitts, and Olofsson who have never tasted the playoffs. I think the continual short bench in the 3rd periods of games lately with Quinn and JJP seeing limited ice time shows the need for another vet to play with Cozens, Meier fits that need. Acquiring Meier and Schenn puts this team into the playoffs!!! If KA stays the course and doesn't make any moves, they will miss the playoffs! Quote

Everyone around here seems to forget that Feb 2023 Jack Quinn isn't October 2023 Jack Quinn is gonna be. We do need a schenn type though. 2 Quote

He may not be a fan of Quinn/TG, but from what I know both Drury and Grier enjoyed their time here and Grier even returned for a second stint with Buffalo before retiring.

A particular type of fan. The type that I’m not. I’ll never understand the hatred for the Canes. I think it’s really misguided anger that should have been placed at the foot of the Sabres organization rather than another one. 1 Quote

We stay the course in to the here and now, and with that in mind, the playoffs are still within our reach. If Adam's can swing a deal or 2 with shrewd prudence I will be delighted. Besides, as sad as this may sound to many, it's exciting to just be in the hunt for a post season spot this far in to February. 1 Quote

Even had they got it done with Drury, they chose the wrong player anyways 1 Quote
