Why dont we put him in the AHL?Because we will hardly save anything due to its structure. Better to put him in the AHL.

Maybe the wrong place to post this (College thread???), but, now that it is March and I start mildly looking at College standings, seedings, etc:
1. What undrafted / UDFA Collegians are possibly - or should be - on the Sabres roster?
2. Given the post-TDL lack of a 23-man NHL roster limit, whose season will end early, possibly giving a signed player a longer look than a token game or two?
Certainly love to address the wing position and try to change the bottom 6. Can’t have three forwards with zero offensive ability. Time for Girgs to go and Larsson. Heck I’d consider strongly buying out Sobotka because all three of those guys are kind of useless offensively and there defensive abilities aren’t exceptional.
Offer sheet Kapanen
A 2-4 million dollar offersheet at 5 years or less comes with a 2nd round pick compensation. It'll be tough for Toronto to match too, if that Marner contract negotation is as contentious as most believe it will be.They don’t have their 2020 third round pick.
1. We should sign Taro Hirose out of MSU, so we can chant 'We want Taro' whenever Phil benches him.

Agreed on all counts. You posed this scenario earlier in the year and it makes a lot of sense. It really would be a win win for us. Toronto matches they are that much worse off in relation to the salary cap. They don't we get a young top 6 guy for a 2nd round pick. This really is a perfect storm for a potential offersheet, but as you said I doubt it happens. It's so frustrating to watch GM's not use a very valuable tool to improve their teams.I think they'd match on Kapanen. His trade value far exceeds a 2nd round pick, and Dubas would do what he had to do to keep Kapanen. Especially at around $4m. Also, they should do a one-year deal so that he'd be up again next season. Getting Kapanen locked in at $4MM for five years is a gift to the Leafs.
Botts should approach the agents for both Johnsson and Kapanen and tell the he wants to sign them to offer sheets for one year at the highest salary permitted with only a 2nd rounder for compensation. Who knows if they'd be game, but if the players were, they could put Toronto in a horrible spot. Sign one, and if Toronto matches, sign the other. But this league is stupid, and the GMs will sit idly by while the Leafs sign Kapanen for a combined $5MM next year.
Might the Sabres be dipping into the SHL again? Färdiga NHL-deals på bordet för Skellefteås backstjärna
