No doubt Seabrook possesses those. But he’s far from he used to be on the ice, and not worth the contract. Sabres have too many up and coming stars to pay for to take on his contract (Dahlin, Mittelstadt, Reinhart).

This reminds me how you guys wanted to dump Crawford for Lehner ++ on the sabres.
I get you want to have Seabrook out of your division, but why not look for a team that needs help on defense?
Like lets say the leafs, You could also reunite the Nylanders.
I doubt that the Leafs want Alex, and I would be astounded if they either took on Seabrook's contract or relinquished William's.This reminds me how you guys wanted to dump Crawford for Lehner ++ on the sabres.

Craig Smith and a small plus for Scandella at 50% and Vesey would make the money pretty much even. Not sure if either team does it, but Vesey coming to Nashville via Buffalo would be quite ironic.
Imagine taking all of these obvious joke posts seriously.

No....smith and Scandella are close to equal in salary
Buffalo is at the cap and can’t retain.

You have lost all credibility to me
Trade a UFA to be for a player with something like 6+ yrs left at a much higher cap and a NMC which effects the expansion draft.

Scandella has finally been good for us this season, getting rid of him, although I realize it's a numbers thing, seems like a waste of a good player. Is Gilmour playing that much better? Is it only a salary based decision?
I wonder if this is something that doesn’t happen until the deadline. The Sabres have a heavy load of games coming in a short time along with an overseas trip to Sweden.
With Montour coming back, Gilmour can be sent to Rochester (I would assume he’d clear waivers) and then they can rotate between the 7 defensemen (Dahlin Miller McCabe Ristolainen Scandella Jokiharju and Montour).

Gilmour isn't playing at all. It's all about the benjamins and the fact the Sabres are overloaded with d and he is an ufa at the end of the year.

I like anything that gets youth or picks into the Sabres pockets. Scandella has had a nice rebound and is paired nicely with Henri Jokiharju so far. No thanks to bottom six forwards like Miles Wood.

No thanks. There isn't a team that is going to take that WOOF god awful contract.

Pass, Hudon is an easy "no", considering he could have been claimed on waivers for free.

His contract, is f***ing terrible. There is not enough you could offer (1st or Dach - which isn't happening) for anyone to take, bullshit like leadership as a main cognitive reasoning for why this makes sense for Buffalo. This is a straight contract dump offer from a Chicago fan. He is a slower defensemen, and we already have his type of play in Bogosian coming back.

Gilmour hasn't played a single game yet, but somebody's gotta be the odd man out when Montour's ready to return to the line-up, and Scandella is the obvious choice. Even with him bouncing back, he's still the worst player regularly dressing on our blue line, and he's a pending UFA.

UPL will be back in the nets soon starting his professional career, likely in the ECHL for a sort stunt and then in the AHL. The Sabres top 2 of Hutton and Ulmark are fine so there’s no goalie need at this stage.

You have to stop think of cap figure in terms of AAV and start look at the daily cap hit. That’s how it’s actually calculated. Marco has a daily rate of about $17,400 and teams need to be around $400k per day to stay under the cap.
Would be a fool not to take this. Always liked Grimaldi. Little energizer bunny lmao.
Honestly I’d like a young prospect forward who will be exempt from the expansion draft. Anyone have any of those they're willing to part with?
Honestly I wouldn't mind someone who wasn't exempt from the expansion draft at this point. We are going to have a tough decision coming when the time comes ...
Huh? Wouldn’t you then want someone who IS exempt from the expansion draft. That way they wouldn’t be able to be selected, thereby making our protection process slightly easier.
His daily cap hit is actually $21,505 and Vesey's is $12,231 for a total of $33,736 daily cap hit for the two. If you retained half of Scandella's salary($21,505/2=$10,752.50 daily cap hit), trade Vesey and add Craig Smith($22,849 daily cap hit) your daily cap hit would be $10,752.50 + $22,849 = $33,601.50.
