Skinner has found his niche under Granato. With his NMC Skinner would have final say on where he goes. If GMKA can find a team & a fair return (with Skinner's input) then I would be ok with moving him.
You should do a video on the top 10 best defensive dman, wether they score points or not. And a video about the best top 10 fourth liners.
"Untouchable" for me: TNT, Cozens, Quinn, Tuch, Dahlin, Power. Levi.
Hinostroza Girgensons oloffson Bryson Joki and Either Krebs or Mittlestat in opening to move. Jost im keeping. Greenway im keeping. Okposo im keeping for 1 or 2 more years max. So the way i see it Tuch Skinner TNT. Quinn Peterka Cozens. 3rd and 4th line is the trickiest. Greenway Mitts Savoie. Kulich Jost Okposo. Power Dahlin sammy Bush im keeping. Stillman as a 7th. Then im going to find a Dman or 2 this offseason and a 1B goalie. Thats all Adams needs to do and have another goid Draft.
I feel like dahlin is gonna want at least 11
Only one player in the history of this franchise that id never trade and that is Taro Tsujimoto.
I've got maybe 6 or 7. Tage, Tuch, Cozens, Power, Dahlin, and probably Levi and/or Skinner.
Okposo, Girgensons, Hinostroza, and Jost aren't currently under contract. I think all can be moved on from. Maybe re-sign Jost if they think some of the kids aren't ready yet.
Nice anaology.
My fav Sabre right now is Tuch . I enjoy his effort, hustle , 200 ft forward , team guy
I'm not messing with the team to much, 3 or 4 forwards on the out, (Okie, Victor, Vinny, Zemmer) on D…
Man, idk…so young this group
Henri, Dauls, Opie, and Sammy are all keepers, in my opinion… Master Levi and Comrie in net, Luuuuke in Rochester…
Okay, Wayne, I will play the game: you are willing to trade, even Dahlin, and others, but who would you trade them, or rather, what parts would you be trading for what other parts? Did not Mario need Jagr and Francis and Coffey before he won?
I feel the same way in regards to the forwards. I agree that those players are def moveable. I like them as well but if there is a trade worth more than going out. Absolutely. My only fear about Thompson is how he was invisible in the last part of the year. When I saw that, my fear is that he may disappear in the playoffs as well. But that is just a "what-if". Defense/Goalies…100% agree. Skinner is solely based on salary hit for me also. I like Clague alot tbh. He reminds me of Sammy with his good defensive play. I wish they played him more.
I would like to see a video where you rank all the free agents defenders for that 4th spot in our defence.
Hopefully tage can dominate like he did early last season.
Quinn is going to score a lot of goals.
I still like krebs he just seems to be a solid player to have
Tnt took cross check to ribs
Of these players you circled only: who would you trade (more than one of course) to chicago in exchange to get this years #1 draft pick?
olofsson will probably be moved in the off season to a team that sees itself as a playoffs team that needs more goals. calgary?
im fine incorporating peterka in big deal if the return is good.. kulich is a similar player to peterka, but one that can score.
I think UPL, with his size and potential, is one of GM Adams biggest bargaining chips and would draw a ton of interest from other GM's.
I wouldn’t trade Thompson,Tuch, Cozens, Peterka or Quinn. I also wouldn’t trade Dahlin because only ONCE in Sabres history of 50 years has Buffalo had a two way defensemen like him, it’s so hard to find a D man who can play defense and score 15-20 goals and 70-80 points. It’s easier to find the Smurf Village or ride on the unicorn than it is to find a top defenseman!
We have an embarrassment of riches on offense. Considering the goalie rotation and bottom pair defensemen cost us a playoff spot- I would trade Mittelstadt and Olofsson for 2 stay at home D-men. Sign an older free agent goalie to back up Levi.
My choice for FA signing would be Bertuzzi, Domi, and Raanta. That would bring toughness and pestiness to the Sabres. Look what Chucky has done for the Panthers. The Sabres are loaded with talent, now they need some nastiness.
We got lucky with Okposo last season, he led pretty well. But we need to move on from him and get the young blood and fresh blood and younger generation leading the team
Hey Wayne…thanks for using my post! The one player i could not part with no matter the return is Dylan Cozens. I mean Tuch, Thompson, Dahlin are all players i dont want to trade along with another 3 or 4. But if you want a Porsche you cant get that with a couple Volvos.
I just feel when you pull back all the layers the heart of the team….the spirit of the team is Cozens. Thanks for keeping Sabres talk ongoing….this offseason is going to be too long.
What could the Sabre's get for Olofsson. I would think some some who gets 20 plus goals a year and has a great shot could fetch something good. Could we package him with someone else to get something good or maybe get back into the first round of this years draft ? Speaking of Draft, we should get something good at 13 over all. I'd like to grab Mathew Wood if possible and Quentin Musty (local boy from Hamburg NY)
the highlighted players are the core. keeping Boosh would be good for mentoring the young Russians with the elc.
