Wtf are you talking about? This year is far from the worst we've seen

I'm not saying to build around johansson. Dont spin this because you have no logical counter argument. He is the type of piece you surround your core players with. Did pretty well in washington, and Boston traded for him on route to one win from the cup

You're better than this
- ieetbred

Here's the justification...
-Sabres are void of a strong pipeline of players 1 -2 years away, especially at F
-2020 draft is deep, especially at forward
-Johansson should net about the same as the mix received for Coleman, Toffoli
-Sabres could use a 1st or 2nd, plus a very good prospect.
-Johansson is a 3LW or 3RW
-At $4.5m for a non-playoff team on the wing is NOT the way to go...especially when Olo, Sam will get paid and produce far more than Mojo, and $Skinner making big bank; all on the wing.
-Team is devoid of 2C and 3C talent, far more important than 3R/LW

Most posters like Mojo, but his age, position and production doesn't line-up with this team with proper roster construction.

If they keep him, I'm fine with it, but will view it as a lost opportunity to improve for the long term

Need 7 quality forwards to play with:

Olo Eichel Skunk
SKinner X X
X X X
X Lazar x


who would you keep?
What are you looking for by deadline day?

I'd sell off anyone up front other then the 5 you listed

worry about the 3rd line left winger in the off season, which is what johansson really is

He won't, but it'd nice to sell at least a few of them.

Eichel - keep
Olofsson - keep
Sam - keep
Skinner - keep, unmovable
Mojo - sell if good return
Sheary - Sell
Lazar - keep
Vesey - sell
Girgs - keep, if assured he won't bolt in FA
Larsson - sell
ERod - sell
Frolik - sell
Okposo - unmoveable
Dahlin - keep
Montour - sell one of Montour, Risto
Risto - sell one oh Montour, Risto
McCabe - sell
Pilut - keep
Miller - keep
Joker - keep
Bogo - sell
Ullmark - keep
Hutton - keep for 1 season

Forwards moving so far, no Dmen yet.

Bolts and Canucks deals hopefully start to generate more activity.

Botts should take the horse-trader approach and call his GM buddies that prices are going UP on:
- Thursday at noon
- again on Saturday at noon.

It seems that lately we've seen the "better" deals go down the week before.

TDL is so boring now.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, then at 2:30pm, a flurry of boring trades

As if it hasnt been bad enough with the rolling circus of 11/7 all year,

People want to continue breaking any kind of continuity in the locker room and in this organization. And then wonder why former players bash the organization when they go on to have success elsewhere

Furthering ourselves from becoming a destination for FA pickups

I would use Johnson, Strome would be a good add to this team.

It's not like Botts will, or even can, make 10 trades anyway.

Some continuity will be there.

it is not like it used to be. Was so much fun 10-15 years ago. Now, kinda poopity.

Then trade a D to Vegas for Marchessault, move VO to the right, drop Rhino down a line, and voila, two strong lines.

Ill go with a standard answer of winning cures everything. You want continuity in players who suck? OF a 22 man roster we only "need" to keep like 4 of them

Eichel - keep
Olofsson - keep
Sam - keep
Skinner - keep, unmovable
Mojo - sell if good return
Sheary - Sell
Lazar - keep
Vesey - sell
Girgs - keep, if assured he won't bolt in FA
Larsson - sell
ERod - sell
Frolik - sell
Okposo - unmoveable
Dahlin - keep
Montour - sell one of Montour, Risto
Risto - sell one oh Montour, Risto
McCabe - sell
Pilut - keep
Miller - keep
Joker - keep
Bogo - sell
Ullmark - keep
Hutton - keep for 1 season
- IonSabres

reverse Larsson and Girgs
Sell Pilut
upgrade at both goalies.

Otherwise OK.

Continuity my A$$, Get franking talent on the team. Winning breeds continuity (See Vegas Golden knights)

Marchessault-Eichel-VO
Skinner-Strome-Skunk
Vesey-Lazar-Mojo

3 good lines

e-rod 7 points in last 16 games

johansson 6 points in last 16 games

Still think Buffalo should call Colorado and see if Girgs would help them replace Calvart.

Why is Vegas trading Marchessault while tied for first in its division?

Why would Buffalo not be on his Modified NTC list?
