Is Buffalo strictly looking for picks, our would they take a quality roster player back that is younger and has term?

Hmm, why are both Knight and Lundell unavailable?

I'd be very interested in a deal around Knight

Oh, we'd take back a quality roster player with term. Happily.


To the OP.....Risto AND Hall (assuming at 50%)? A 1st and a nice piece (obviously not Lundell or Knight)

Maybe something like a 1st, Heponiemi and a 3rd?

Would imagine Denisenko, Stralman, and two 1sts would get it done.

-‘21 1st is a 1st/2nd based on playoff performance, if Florida can make it past round one,
- ‘22 1st is top 3 protected, turns into ‘23 unprotected if it is top 3.


EDIT: or am I overvaluing the two players combined?

I'm in the minority, but I don't really want picks. I'd rather have prospects with years of dev under their belt or are cracking professional play.

Yeah, that’s too much IMO, for a rental in Hall, and Risto.

So what gets the combo to Florida?

Lundell and Knight are off limits.

Go.

Ok, I’ll take a shot:

Levi, Owen Tippett, Markus Nutivaara (got take some cap back) and 2021 or 2022 first.

Sabres get good goalie prospect
Young Winger with Potential
A 3rd pairing/ 7th defender
And future pick.

Sabres obviously retaining on Hall (50%)

ok, I tried now let’s here I bad it is.

No thanks. Risto still has a year remaining and it’s an expansion draft year. We’d have to protect Ek, Yandle, Weegar, and lose one of Gudas, Forsling, or Risto without a bribe.

imo Zito is looking for guys with expiring contracts, doesn’t want to give up the first atm (though he may still for the right deal) so he can use it to bribe teams say from Forsling or Gudas.

There’s always Montour instead of Risto. Forgot about Yandle’s NMC.

Man this thread is funny
Risto is not a good defenseman, and certainly is not worth a 1st round pick. I would MAYBE pay a 1st and a 3rd or something for both of them retained
Buffalo fans asking for way too much for their underperforming players
