Sabres Trade Targets

[Team Cozens]

No, you build around Jack and Dahlin. You don’t do it for one at the expense of the other.

Cue the John Melloncamp….

A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane (Dahlin)

 

[Team Cozens]

My in season target is Nick Foligno.

My off season targets are Anthony Cirelli or Ryan Strome for the infamous 2C position.

 

[sabrebuild]

You don't trade quantity for quality. Eichel is a top 10 player. It would be nuts.

I agree, a lot of decisions are nuts.

I can't imagine TB has any desire whatsoever to even think about dealing Cirelli.

They are going to have some tough decisions to make Cap wise this offseason and Cirelli is an RFA due for a nice raise.
Tampa will only have 8 million to sign 10 players and Cirelli only makes $728K now. They have a ton of players with NTC.
Nice to see their team fall apart.

id love to add nick but how in God's name are we fitting him cap-wise?

Probably a moot point with Columbus going 6-0-4 in their last 10. Doubt they make any moves. We would have to send a Scandella and 2nd or prospect to make it work. Or Sheary plus.

Eh, we hear that every year and every year good teams go to lengths to keep their core together. They make it work.

I mean long term moreso...but you're right and picked a good target to change the room.

I’d go ask about Christian Fischer. Played on Arizona’s top line in the past, net front guy, plays hard.

Just spit ballin’ but maybe Fischer+Oesterle for Rodrigues+Scandella(w/retention)

With EF thinking that NJ is looking at a D from the Sabres, I wonder if Bogo for Simmonds is a shuffling of deck chairs type deal that makes sense?

Too bad we don't have a 3rd rounder and thus can't send him a reasonable offersheet.

do offer sheets require original draft picks, or can acquired picks be used?

I believe it is original picks. I could be wrong...

If correct, that would mean we can't offersheet Cirelli... because of the Vesey trade. As if that trade needs to have any more repercussions attached to it

paging @dotcommunism

can a team offer sheet using acquired draft picks as the collateral?

no, original picks only.

 

[Reddawg]

I'm quite sure you can only use your own original picks for offer sheets.

 

[dotcommunism]

It has to be your own picks and unless you're giving up multiple of a type of pick, it has to be available in the next draft. Since the Sabres don't have a 3rd round pick in 2021, they could only send offer sheets in the no compensation, 2nd round pick, or 4 1st round picks ranges in 2020.

Of course, a team can always re-acquire its own draft pick if they want to sign someone to an offer sheet badly enough.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Would you guys have interest in Zucker at the draft?

 

[Chainshot]

Original picks, not just any pick.

You think TB would give up Cirelli for a 3rd round pick? I wouldn't think TB blinks when matching.

To get them to think, I think you'd have to go up to 2nd round compensation area. Think of something like a 4x4.....and I'm still not sure they don't insta-match that.

No, I'm talking about something like a 6 year / 7.0 offersheet, that calculates at 8.4 per (5 year measure), and the comp is 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Cirelli is a stud.

 

[Sabreality]

so we're back to the Cirelli pipedream eh

stop doing this to yourselves, that guy is going nowhere.

As long as the shuffle is either for someone expiring or just a pick of some stripe.

There was a time when acquiring another elite 2 way center was a pipe dream... and then it happened
