The first step, change the coach and give Dahlin freedom, they just try to make a defensive defender out of the guy and forbid him to use his creativity, such stupidity. :facepalm:
Maybe the group needs a tough coach? Babs? Reilly did great under Babs didn’t he?

I'm sorry but none of this is happening with BUF and their shit tier FO or without trading your frustrated star. You'll be lucky if less than half of these come to fruition.

Get ready for another 10 years of pain BUF fans

There's a ton of players hitting the free market this year and only so much money/cap space/promise of ice time to go around. With a good coach/FO Buffalo could be decently attractive.

The main thing for Buffalo is to prioritize.

Appointment of a new head coach!

You need to exchange:

Montour - 2nd (3rd) round pick 2021
Hall (@ 50% Ret) - 1 st 2021

You can exchange:

Ristolainen (@ 50% Ret) = prospect (A +)/ prospect (B)/(B +) + 1 st 2021
Ullmark - 1st (2nd) 2021(if the player refuses to sign a new contract)

Only upon receipt of lucrative offers:
Reinhart
Olofsson

Less compensation doesn't make sense.
1 st 2022 for Ristolainen can be obtained next year.
If you sign a successful contract with Reinhart (RFA) in the summer, the player's value will not fall.
Olofsson (RFA 2022) - exchange upon receipt of good offers.
I think BUF does not need prospect B (C). The club has many players with unknown NHL potential.
The team needs prospect (A, A +).
If exchanges occur, the losses can be made up by UFA players.

BUF 2021/22


Skinner - Eichel - Olofsson
UFA - Cozens - Reinhart
Asplund - Mittelstadt - Thompson
Ruotsalainen - Eakin – Okposo

Dahlin - Jokiharju
Samuelsson - Borgen
Bryson - Miller
Johnson – UFA (LD/RD)

Ullmark?
UFA

The composition of the team is, of course, approximate.
Need at least three players (UFA): LW / RW + D + G

Expansion Draft 2021 – reserved:

FORWARDS (7): Skinner - Eichel – Olofsson – Reinhart - Mittelstadt - Thompson - ?
DEFENSE (3): Dahlin – Jokiharju - Borgen
GOALIES (1): ?

The loss of any unprotected player is easily remedied by signing the UFA player.
If you manage to sign other good players, you have to do it.

Solve your problems:

Appoint a coach capable of giving results and successfully developing young players.

Successfully complete new contracts with RFA players.

What to do with Eichel?
Is the club betting on the player until the end of the contract?
If there is an exchange, what compensation is planned?

Buffalo needs to get serious about the 2021 draft.
Don't repeat strange choices in the 2019, 2020 drafts:
2019 - selected by Ryan Johnson, available by Arthur Kaliyev.
2020 - Jack Quinn selected, Marco Rossi, Cole Perfetti available.

Maybe Buffalo is right?

Show patience and look to the future with optimism. :)

1. Risto is not returning an A+ prospect, probably a 2nd and a B prospectat best
2. Resign conditions dont exist anymore

I want to lock you and bernmeister in a room together just to see what happens.

idont see the bern similarities in his post. Bern is a high bar or crazy and convoluted 10+ player/ pick trades.


1. Risto is not returning an A+ prospect, probably a 2nd and a B prospectat best
2. Resign conditions dont exist anymore

If Risto is traded with max retention, he is no cap cost this year to ALL teams. He’d get a 1st+ from near lock playoff team who expects the pick to be 25-32 range. Division winners will not be below 25.

if a team is still fighting for a spot and unsure of a playoff spot the pick would likely be a 2nd that become a 1st based on playoffs but the + coming back would be better

I wouldn't be surprised if it’s 1st 2021+ 2nd in 2022+ contract with term+ very good prospect.
