you can only add one .

[OkimLom]

Realistically,Beagle.

What I expect from Botts is a guy like Stajan or Clowe

 

[Royal Thunder]

I know the OP said not counting this draft but I just find it crazy that a month ago Dahlin would have been right near the top of this list for us. It still hasn't sunk in what getting him means to this team, but it's gonna be really fun when it does.

 

[stokes84]

I guess "realistic" means guys nobody else wants. Okay, pass.

 

[Ace]

Yeah guys other teams deem expendable for any reason can’t amount out anything.

On a completely unrelated note...Which game do you think Vegas clinches their Cup birth? Tomorrow or later?

 

[ZZamboni]

Absolutely. Good goaltending can boost a teams confidence.

Yep. I’m in the same mindset. Realistic would be a better goalie than Lehner and Johnson. It will do this team a huge service beyond a lower GAA.
JT is sooo unrealistic. Which is obvious to most of us.

Does Florida have any interesting UFAs we can go after?

 

[old kummelweck]

Jonathan Quick.

I doubt even Struck and Jame think Botts is that bad.

 

[sabremike]

It wasn't a coincidence that you can literally pinpoint the exact moment where the Isles defense went to Planet Zongo level terrible to DeHaan getting his shoulder crushed in that game by a Kings player falling right on him. SIGN HIM BOTTS.

 

[valet]

Saying realistically kind of defeats the purpose of asking the question, especially with a team lacking depth like we do. It wouldn't make a difference

 

[Der Jaeger]

Either buy him out or just assume he's on the 3rd pairing, in the pressbox, or on IR. I'm a dreamer but I have no hopes there is a trade out there for us.

I laughed.

We can dream of adding McDavid. But moving Bogosian is even further out than that. That's funny!

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

For the record, I was kidding about McDavid, if it wasn’t obvious

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

Any top 4 RD

 

[Icicle]

Grabner

 

[Rowley Birkin]

Dahlin will be the biggest add for years to come... So the next most important add this summer will be his partner since i don't see him on the roster currently.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

CDH/Grabner/Bernier would be a haul BTW. I don't normally advocate FA signings but to get these three for probably less $/year than JT would be a steal.

 

[Gabrielor]

Max Domi and Niklas Hjalmarsson

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Max Domi and Niklas Hjalmarsson

We already have a speed skating under 24 player who doesn't play defense and forgot how to score goals. His name: Alex Nylander. Hjalmarsson, I'm good with though!

Offering De Haan a contract to come to Buffalo is a no brainer.

Why is he anymore realistic than Tavares? Money is not an issue, it comes down to a player choosing where to play.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

I don't have a name but I'd like the front office to figure out a winger for Eichel. So there is an issue in the locker room, and our franchise center is a bit of a prima donna. Fix that and make THAT guy happy.

Does he need a power forward. Just a sniper. Speed burner. Puck retriever. Super high iq to play tic-tac-toe with. Find that guy.

I want Eichel coming into camp excited, beyond thrilled. We kind of are half way there with Dahlin so address Eichels partner.

 

[1972]

Why is he anymore realistic than Tavares? Money is not an issue, it comes down to a player choosing where to play.

Because he’s probably going to have 6 teams make offers and JT is going to have 25 who want him.

 

[stokes84]

Because he’s probably going to have 6 teams make offers and JT is going to have 25 who want him.

I'd guess it's the opposite. JT is going to have a handful of teams willing to give him the sky and the moon. Money will be prohibitive for most teams. De Haan will probably have more teams looking for that "smart" UFA signing.

 

[Team Cozens]

Offering De Haan a contract to come to Buffalo is a no brainer.

Isn’t De Haan another LHD?
We have 5/6 LHD already.
We need a #2 RHD.
