With the $4.44 going to the Skinner buyout next year, and using your contract projections, this comes in around $89 million. Leaving around $6 million for a 4th line, 3rd pair D, and then spares. 

Crap.  The Skinner Buyout ! 

only way I can make it work is by moving off of UPL and bringing in a low cost vet to pair with Levi. 

unless you offer him longer  term than anyone else along with paying him the most

Can probably afford to move on from Byram if we got Ekblad

Can imagine Ekblad going to Reinhart and like "hey so Buffalo wants me, what's it... why are you laughing?"

Reinhart "sorry sorry, just no. Lol"

Half the reason Bryson is is because he plays with Dahlin 

If 3 of your top 4 is Dahlin, Ekblad and Power you need to be able to make that work lol

It work just as well as Byram, Dahlin and Power  as your top 3 because they are not the problem
the problem is the other 3 and changing ekblad for Byram isnt solving that

No way - Byram isn’t a problem in-so-far-as-he’s-masked-by-dahlin: Ekblad is actually good

Ok.  Who are you getting to play with Dahlin if you move on from Byram?

Hope the Sabres keep Byram  but yes they need to find a complement to Dahlin... love Bryson's skating but he no Byram and his lack of size cant make up his lack of ability

I think Byram and Dahlin will complement each other quite well on the top pair.   Dynamic

So you wanted about 30% of the cap tied up in 3 lhds?

With at least 1 that can play right sure... or trade Power for an rt hand equivalent... Im done with his softness in the corner or front of the net getting puck taken away not blocking shots... great skater and shot but not much else

I think they need to pick either Byram or Power. I think it would be bad to tie up 25-30% of the cap in 3 lhds, especially when the defense is bad.
