2019-20-21 Roster Speculation: Neither on- nor off-season edition

[Sabrefan99]

What are some potential free agents wingers will they target? I am hoping they acquire a legit center. I am thinking of the Sabres attempting to put a square block in a round hole.

 

[Fjordy]

I’m saying, I doubt it will happen. There will be talk of growth, of youth. Addition by subtraction, and building toward the future.

Given Jack's words, this will look weird.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Reinhart, Mittelstadt, Montour, Davidsson, 2020 1st for Monahan and Gaudreau.

Ristolainen to Anaheim for Jones and 2020 1st (Boston).

Pilut to Rangers for Buffalo's 3rd in 2021.

Offersheet Sergachev.

Re-sign Larsson.

Draft Khusnutdinov in the 1st, Neighbors in the second, and trade up from 100 to get Tuch.

Coyotes give up the 2 best players. I would probably simplify it and just go Stepan for Miller. I think Stepan is worth more but the Cap is an issue for the Coyotes. no interest in getting Hutton in return.

Yotes are clearing cap for hall, buffalo taking in almost 11 million, that’s the deal two overpaid but still useful players for a bottom pairing d-man a vet goalie 2nd

Nobody is coming here unless its a big overpay

Here's a big list

[Buffaloed]

Here's a big list of UFA forwards. I included Martin, Weise, Maroon, Clifford, and Boyle because I'm sick of seeing this team get physically abused. When the going gets tough, the tough get going doesn't mean you run away.

Taylor Hall - LW/C
Mikael Granlund - C/RW
Mike Hoffman - RW/LW
Alex Galchenyuk - C/RW/LW
Tyler Toffoli RW/LW
Craig Smith - RW/C
Evgeny Dadonov - RW/LW
Erik Haula C/LW
Vladislav Namestnikov RW/LW/C
Matt Martin - LW/RW
Kyle Clifford - LW
Corey Perry - RW
Melkar Karlsson - RW/C
Dale Weise - RW/LW
Jesper Fast - RW
Derick Brassard - C
Tyler Pitlick - RW
Riley Sheahan - LW/C
Brian Boyle - LW/C
Patrick Maroon - LW/RW
Greg McKegg - LW

We need an attitude adjustment on this team. It’s the one thing that I liked about Murray’s tenure.

As much as you need talent on this team, you need guys that are just utter pr**** to play against. Guys that have no problem taking a run at a guy. We need that mixture.

 

[Sabrefan99]

Reinhart, Mittelstadt, Montour, Davidsson, 2020 1st for Monahan and Gaudreau.

I would be leary of making this move, we would be trading middle 6 depth for 2 players. No team can win with having a good 1st and 4th line. The Sabres will be spinning their wheels and have nothing to show from it. This would be the Evander Kane trade 2.0.

I would stay away from most of that list. A cheap 1 year deal for Clifford or Martin would add some grit and leadership. Fast would be a nice pickup. Please stay away from long term big money ufa signings.

Monahan and Gaudreau would give the Sabres a second line and a complete top 6.

I was commenting on the Part about getting tougher more than the list. As for the list, yeah I’d stay away from long term deals with most of those guys.

I would like to see Adams take advantage of Buffalo having a ton of cap space and roster space to take on some contracts teams may not want to get a favorable talent or draft pick. You know how we took on Berglund and Sobotka deals, I’m fine doing that, but actually take advantage of that situation.

I like the idea of #1, but I'm not really that interested in Gaudreau. I'd rather just get Monahan, so if we lighten that up a bit. The rest I like. We also need to trade off anyone's rights for late picks.

I like the idea of Gaudreau to make a second like real dangerous.

 

[Fjordy]

Granlund
Namestnikov
Fast
Haula

If contract is no longer than three years, we could be sign one of them.

 

[lauraP]

Gaudreau is a great player but redundant on our team with what we have on lw.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Gaudreau is a great player but redundant on our team with what we have on lw.

He's really not, unless Ralph is going to keep Skinner + Olofsson at LW. The only guy delivering that level of transition play + playmaking right now is Jack.

 

[darcyRegier]

Have there been rumors of Calgary wanting to move on from Monahan and Gaudreau?

 

[lauraP]

It would be very stupid with our glaring need for a 2c to give up asset for 2 years of gaudreau.

 

[Fjordy]

I agree, but if we could get 2C very cheaply, would that make sense?

low roar locally, especially if the perform poorly in the playoffs again.

Not sure but maybe at this point we have to throw an offer sheet at a RFA ?

If we're in fantasy land i'd rather go after tarasenko than gaudreau

 

[Ehran]

Not possible without our 3rd round draft pick. And it has to be our original pick, not just any 3rd rounder from what I understand.
