Speculation: Roster Speculation Part VII

[Sabrefan99]

Could the Sabres sign a UFA center on July 1st? They cannot go into next season without better depth. I would love Matt Duchene, but that’s probably no realistic.

 

[Djp]

Schaller?

Yep

 

[Djp]

Yep. Come early next week, Skinner is going to be a Sabre long-term.

It woukd be nice if they said on Sunday...we have an agreement that will be signed on Tuesday.

 

[Snippit]

Please let Coyle have been traded to Buffalo...please

 

[Beerz]

Please let Coyle have been traded to Buffalo...please

I say Washington

Would have been a nice pickup for us even though he probably would be too expensive to keep after next year. Still if it did not cost one of our top guys going forward I would have liked to have him for the one year.

 

[truthbluth]

Coyle would not have made the Sabres better.

 

[Zman5778]

Coyle would not have made the Sabres better.

I mean, he would have if he pushed Sobotka out of the lineup. But who knows if that would have happened.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

I mean, he would have if he pushed Sobotka out of the lineup. But who knows if that would have happened.

Which is worse?

A) Being stapled to Sobotka in the lineup.
B) Forced out of the lineup by Sobotka.

Gotta choose your poison.

 

[threeVo]

Trade RISTOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Coyle would not have made the Sabres better.

If you are replacing Sobotka, Pommers or Sheary with Coyle then of course it makes the sabres better.

 

[OkimLom]

Coyle would not have made the Sabres better.

Not solely turn around the franchise better, but as a sum of the parts better, I think he could.

 

[jc17]

Trade RISTOOOOOOOOOOO

For what

 

[Revelate]

Will be interesting if we are still scouting LA if Hagelin gets dealt to Caps.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

McCabe to Calgary for Bennett....Who does it?

This. I think he’s the perfect add. Speed. Finish. Playmaking.

Wouldn’t feel great about him being signed through age 36 though

 

[Hasekperreault23]

McCabe to Calgary for Bennett....Who does it?

Me love Bennett

 

[truthbluth]

Not solely turn around the franchise better, but as a sum of the parts better, I think he could.

Maybe. But he’s just tomorrow’s dead weight. Slow, soft and inconsistent is not what we need.

 

[Panthaz89]

Botterill's teams have averaged 73 pts per 82 games.

Murray's teams during his three full seasons as GM (including the McEichel tank season) averaged 71 pts per 82 games.

considering we the fans knew that the team was completely torn apart the bad record in 2014-2015 season was completely justified as we knew what was best for that season. Botterill has all of Murray's core young players that should be hitting their stride instead we were worst in the league again last year which is a joke and we are literally trying out best to go from best to worst this year.

 

[Panthaz89]

It's funny because I view the ROR trade as the 2nd worst thing that was done to this franchise since Darcy left. The worst being the Evander Kane acquisition. Murray simply over spent on both.

the trade for O'Reily? Compher Zads Grig all are depth players who aren't close to ROR's value atm.....

 

[nickdawg95]

I'm about 45 minutes away from Toronto and with every day Housley is still the coach, I'm thinking about becoming a Leafs fan, at least they play with some passion.

Sauga boi represent dawg nieegheh

 

[Weaves]

One player we should go extremely hard after is Ryan Dzingel - during Free Agency. Extremely impressed every time i see him play live and would be a huge depth move for us.

 

[Steddy33]

McCabe to Calgary for Bennett....Who does it?

Calgary does not.

 

[Icicle]

Silfveberg is signing an extension and is off the market. But the Ducks will have to make a cap dumping move to complete it.

Henrique and Rakell have both fallen from grace and are way underproducing. Are they guys you can get with an ELC prospect for cheap because of the cap situation?
