Friedman: Sabres Open For Business

[PettersonHughes]

I'd have some interest in Eakin as 3rd C but I wonder if he's having an off-season offensively due to injury or just a bad team? His faceoffs look good and seems like he's always been known as a two-way player with playmaking ability?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Zav and Parsons have like no value haha.

Great pick for a 7th round but ya.

Parsons sure I get that, Zav has value though as a decent prospect

 

[Some Other Flame]

Calgary needs to add. Not nearly enough.

Okay, how about

Monahan + Tkachuk + Hanifin/Valimaki + Pelletier + Parsons + 2021 1st + 2022 1st

for

Eichel + Reinhart

 

[lawrence]

Sam Reinhart

wouldn't mind adding Reinhart.

Bad team. Reider - Eakin - Mitts have looked good. But Okposo is stapled to them. Which craters them. Plus they get mostly defensive zone starts

Too much imo. I think Tkachuk is more valuable than Reinhart and that's just a lot for Eichel.

 

[Eggtimer]

Players that the Devils need the most and fit in with our rebuild timeline (players age) are the ones that would be untouchable from the Sabres.
Dahlin
Cozens
Olofsson
Any shoot first wingers available ? And please no to Skinner

 

[Paul4587]

What would it take from Anaheim to get Reinhart?

Only absolute untouchables would be Zegras and Drysdale. A few others you wouldn’t get one for one for him but nobody else I would consider truly untouchable.

Open for business for a coach... would rather leave the roster assessment up to new management.

But then how would you make stupid trades that'll set the team back another five years?

 

[CraigsList]

Okay, how about

Monahan + Tkachuk + Hanifin/Valimaki + Pelletier + Parsons + 2021 1st + 2022 1st

for

Eichel + Reinhart

That piques Buffalo’s interest for sure.

 

[Zach716]

That piques Buffalo’s interest for sure.

That does not. Imo, we would be better off dealing them seperate.

 

[trellaine201]

How’s this year any different than the last 10 years?

 

[flashsabre]

The absolute best part of these threads are all the: “Our team wants your good players so here is our offer of a combination of our dog$&it. All our good assets are off limits.”

 

[Volica]

Not really meant to be shot at Sabres fans, but it's crazy to see how few valuable assets this team has to part with when you consider how unsuccessful they've been.

In my opinion, I think it's in their very best interest to trade Jack Eichel this summer. They need a clean slate.

I mean. They have some decent assets, but there's nothing peripheral to make a team improving deal kind of this.

Dahlin and Eichel teams would load up the Brinks trucks for.
Guys like Reinhart, Hall would get great return if only on name alone (in Hall's case).
Guys like Cozens will not be on the table.
Guys like Olofsson, Ristolainen, Staal, Mittlestadt and even Montour would get decent to solid returns, some just on name sake alone.

Buffalo on paper is better than the sum of its parts, but the product just doesn't work. It happens.

A rebuild is the way to go.
Start with Dahlin and Cozens, and get a haul for Eichel, and anything else not stapled down. Start with a 20 year old Dman that has sky high ceilings and a 20 year old heart-and-soul big right shot centre. Your rebuild is already on to a good start with that situation.

 

[Sabreality]

oh my god they're gonna trade Reinhart and re-sign Hall arent they fml

Has Adams already overstayed his welcome in Buffalo?

 

[Ciao]

I heard Eichel wants the Leafs, Tavares involved???

Oh, where did you hear that?

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

Has Adams already overstayed his welcome in Buffalo?

I imagine it's more he was a question mark to begin with and hasn't done anything to inspire any faith in him. I could see why Sabres fans would want a sexier name in charge of the team.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

I heard Eichel wants the Leafs, Tavares involved???

I would pull the trigger on that! BUT! good luck with JT's no move clause.

 

[strictlyrandy]

Avs should ask about Staal.

Us fans want Krueger gone. And someone like Gallant or Boudreau brought in.

[Kublakhan]

Adams has made some good moves in the short time he's been a GM, you have to trust someone to burn it down ans start over this coach/GM roulette is not working

 

[stokes84]

Reinhart has been basically the only veteran who has played decently this season, so it would make sense that he is the one we trade.

That said, trade anyone but Cozens.

 

[Drew311]

I know it won't happen, but I really hope they trade Dahlin. It's disgusting to see what kind of player he's become, just a complete erosion of his game and confidence. He should be one on the league's brightest young stars but he's a shell of the player he was when he entered the league. The organizational mismanagement has also cost the kid a truck load of money, as Dahlin will have little bargaining power coming off a year like this. What a mess.
