If Byfield is out,
then it’s gonna have to be something like :
Turcotte, Villardi, Kaliyev & two 1sts
Plus we’d take back whatever Cap dumps they’d need us to

- jdfitz77


I'd be shocked if they gave up 5 premium pieces

In lieu of Byfield as 1C prospect, then
Vilardi preferred, Turcotte acceptable
Bjornfot
2021-1st
Kempe

No Cap Dumps, none!
They need to dump space, figure it out with someone else.
Done with that poop.

If Byfield is available, modify Kempe to something else.

Your taking at least Dustin Brown back in any deal to LA for cap reasons.

Yes, that's a good point.

Hamilton is close as well. If not Quebec.

Saw the Sabres play a neutral site game vs. Vancouver in the 1990's there. Mogilny had the hattrick.

Copps Coliseum?

Wouldn’t that piss the leaves off?

I may be dreaming here, but:

Sam + for Matt Tkachuk
Quinn + for Brady Tkachuk
*Ottawa was rumored to be considering him with the 5th pick

Then we could either give that a shot with Eichel still - OR - trade Eichel for a big return & let the Tkachuk bros take over the leadership roles on the team

- jdfitz77



I think Ottawa loves him and sees him as their captain. Looks like the best power forward in the league right now. I think the plus with Quinn would need to be huge.

I like your line of thinking, matt tkachuk though is a really good hockey player.

Sam and montour - probably need to add 2 more pieces.

Like an extra pick 2 at Panera's:

joker / mitts / borgen / risto

- Boss34


Lot of rumors he was on trade block in offseason. Homecoming for Reinhart. Montour would be a nice second piece. Maybe add a small player like asplund or borgen

I tend to forget how much i hate this team until i see the gameday lineup. then I remember, and i get mad.

The Sabres are everything that is wrong with the world.

Im glad Okposo stays on line two, he has definitely earned that.

Sure, but there was talk of a 2nd Toronto nhl team for years. I really doubt the Sabres move to Hamilton, but they would have a southern Ontario fanbase in place.

The nhl could / should realign the divisions if they like the new rivals from this season.
Having Canadian teams playing each other 8 times a year would save on travel / border issues

I also see back to back road games being adopted.
Bruins head in for a Saturday/ Sunday double header.

Byfield is a minus 13 with Ontario and they said he is not making progress like they thought he would. I don't know why everyone is foaming at the mouth for him.

People should hold off and calm down regarding Eichel being moved.

The leafs would never allow either a 2nd Toronto team or a Hamilton team. Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan is the Sabres destination

Sorry, but no...one of the principles if I were GM:
NO Cap Dumps, none.
Go dump him on 30 other teams.

Or
I'll take Brown...here's Okposo.

Tkachuk is more eichel or dahlin IMO.


sam, montour and borgen = hockey johnny ?

I really doubt they trade him. Unless he's a lockerroom issue?

I think people get carried away by his physical abilities. Maybe he is the second coming of Eric Lindros, maybe he is the second coming of Chris Gratton. That's the problem with getting someone so young (and why it's silly that fans of other teams value these guys so high). They are lottery tickets at that age.

The Sabres are losing twice to the islanders 3-1 but the game they win is going to be 9-2 because one of these nights they're going to get every single bounce all at once

Brown only has 1 yr left on his deal, if it gets me more I would do it.

He is nowhere near Lindros, Mitts was all high and mighty before he made the NHL too.
