BUF is looking for top 9 forwards to fill out their second and third lines, especially centres.

Looking for more stop-gap type players that can fill in on 2c for a year or two while Cozens develops...can be older or expendable guys, or guys that just need to move due to cap issues, young guns pushing vets out of the line up, etc.

Pieces available for trade;

Ristolainen, Montour, Miller

2020 & beyond picks are available but this year's #8 overall would require a good centre coming back.

Mittelstadt, & basically any other prospects that might be of interest (except Cozens and Lukkonen)

Some prospects that might be of interest; Asplund (c) Borgen (D) Bryson (D) Johnson (D) Samuelson (D) etc.

Edit; changed my stance on the 8th overall...it would be available for the right player(s) coming back...

Strome, Howden, Lindbom, +?+? for 8OA, Pekar, Reinhart? Montour?
no interest in ADA? - i know Buff has RHD depth,
but his talent and attitude could complement BUFF's top guys

Not interested in either Strome, but yours is certainly a trap waiting to happen.

Would love Domi. Still pissed that Buffalo wasn't in on his original trade from Arizona.

Wish Risto would play the LD


Could see something around Montour (love his skating) + prospect for Domi resigned.

BUF would be interested in this for sure, what are your prospect needs?

We have a lot of D...Mittelstadt would be available too and is still very young with upside if he figures it out. Maybe Middelstadt and one of our D prospects?

Montour + Mittelsadt + Samuelson (D)

I like the idea, only problem is this leaves us with a big hole at LD...

Does jersey need any RHD - Colin Miller maybe?

Don't really need RD with Subban, Severson, and Ty Smith. If Smith can shift over to the left side, I'd take Miller. Or Devils throw in Mirco Mueller with Wood for McCabe and a late pick.

The only thing the sabres will be trading is places with Detroit for the record of having the worst season since the salary cap has been implemented

We will keep Howden and they can keep most of that.

Deangelo + Strome + Lindbom + DAL 2020 3rd + BUF 2021 3rd
for
8OA + Laaksonen + BUF 2021 2nd + cap dump Hutton

swap Pekar for Laaksonen and i am on board,
NYR need wings w heft, skill and attitude

"4th round pick Metaj Pekar admits he likes to be the "annoying guy" on the ice that gets under everybody's skin."
"Plays a heavy, gritty style. Strong two-way game with sound defensive play and stick work."
"Pekar sees himself like Brad Marchand and enjoys being an annoyance to players and getting under their skin. He is used on the powerplay and penalty kill, contributing with his range of passing and vision which he uses to set up teammates for good scoring looks. He has a solid accurate shot making him a dual threat off the wing. He is a strong player off the boards, winning battles and helping his team transition, but also being very defensively responsible and mature as a hockey player."

Not enough pieces moving. It's a bernmeister proposal after all, you have a reputation to lose! :sarcasm:

What is Montour looking to sign for? If he comes in around 3.5M I would have interest in a swap for Tyler Johnson? Saves us 1.5M in cap and we get an offensive oriented RD to replace Shattenkirk. Not worried about exposing him in the ED either as Johnson would be exposed himself.
