Maybe
I’d be very ok if our 10-13 forwards were
Larsson, Girgs, Okposo(stuck with him),
and Lazar

- jdfitz77

Agreed with Okposo here for another year
Only want 2 of 3, and prefer Lazar over Larsson...so he would be odd man out.

I want 3rd line upgraded, anchored by Johansson if they keep him.
Mojo might be valuable as a trade chip, especially with Bolts getting Coleman.
Could Sabres squeeze something valuable out of say Boston?

Hypothetically could the Sabres trade Johansson to Boston or Washington and eat 1/2 the salary for both years?

Give a team 2 playoff runs for
Appox.
400,000 this year?
2.25 next?

Lunaion , can we eat 50% for 2 years?

I think something has been in the works for 18 months.

Feels like a splash move maybe forced by Duane's rant about the pegulas.

Lots of cap space. Sign and trade for cirelli?
Some sort of sign and trade ?

- Boss34



Never say never, but I'd fall over if Cirelli was traded from the Bolts.
I wouldn't mind them getting Trocheck out of Florida...good set-up guy for Skins.
Go get Tuch as well, Botts back in good standing.

I feel like they may extend larry near/at the deadline.

Lots of losing with him, but I'm not sure it's his fault.

He probably has decent value. I'd say 2nd or 3rd value

- Boss34


If they could get a 2nd, 2021 for Larry...SELL!!
Lazar makes him expendable.
2021 could be ammo to use with Seattle in entry draft.

Being t-boned by a car doing 170+ mph while On his roof.

I’d expect nothing less than serious condition.

I’d probably be retiring if I were him.

I want to see an attempt to energize the team.

They are more likely to go on a run than to finish bottom 5. If they luck into a top pick great, otherwise keep focus on improving now and for next year

The answer is yes.
For that, they better get one hell of an asset and pick back

For Larsson?
Maybe a 3rd at best

Maybe a 3rd and it turns into a 2nd if he resigns?

I like him, but we need some new faces.

We could
And that would probably net us a nice return
Idk if it gets us a 1st or top prospect though?
I’d say no

That's what I was hoping.

Blake Colemans a really good hockey player,but his low contract made him a huge asset.

I guess your replacing a top 9 guy in Johansson again though. Unless botts has soured on him?

I like the thought process with the expansion draft in mind

I suppose with that thinking...
Trade Larsson & Girgs
Then try & bring them back this summer

I'm not really impressed with johanssons play. He might be injured still. Seems like a different guy than the 1st 15 games.

Too swedish for me, could be playing out of position to blame.

Leaves another void

Seeing what Toffoli just got Botts better be selling hard on Mojo.

Something like a “B” prospect & 2nd

I doubt it’s enough to get a 1st bc he’s not having a great season

IMO, he's a bit expensive for a 3RW. They can live with it through next season, but if they can get a solid return I'd move him...prefer not to retain though.

To show that there are repercussions for poor play, yeah, great, he had a nice goal last night on a horrible defensive play and a goalie totally giving up. Andersen didn't move he just sits there hoping it hits him with a half hearted move to his blocker side. He's playing well for a $2M guy.


- Wetbandit1


As long as he belongs in the lineup, there isn't much to discuss. No one likes his contract, but burying him serves no purpose. Scott Wilson isn't an upgrade.
