Rusty36 , that's probably pretty accurate. That's about as fair/realistic of a trade as I've heard around here.

I'm out, that's pretty heavy.

Maybe one of quinn or Johnson + 1st protected.

Would you?

Any (1) of quinn, Johnson, protected 1st and okposo

For raanta

- Boss34


They won’t take Okposo
Only reason they’re trading their goalies is to get rid of $$$

sabres goalies allow 2 or less goals in 3 of the 4 games


sabres are 1-3

Kevyn should get a goon on this team. 13 1st rd picks and they play soft. Philly bullied the team and all they hoped for was the league to handle it for them.

I'm more of a leaving the bench guy....

I like kuemper, rode him to a championship #🍪🏆

Tage or mitts need to go.
Probably Samuelson or Johnson.
1st lottery protected. (So basically the 8th pick)

I'd love to add an okposo contract and extend kuemper with his $?


What do you think?

Being able to count on goaltending allows the offense to attack more freely

Gotta have grit and he’s got that. He’s not the same player offensively but last night for sure he would have made his presence known.

Grit doesn’t mean much when u can’t play anymore though

I’m all for adding some grit

My proposal had that option. Or, anyone still down there. Ogelvie. Who gives a poop. With Raanta's cap at 4.25, Hutton's at 2.75, that adds 1.5M to your cap if they're swapped. If you demote Hutton, or send them JJ, you're keeping an extra 1.725M, totalling 3.225M. Girgensons is only good for 2.2M on LTIR.

What you're suggesting can't work.

Quinn / Johnson/ hutton for kuemper and a 4th 🤔

Fitz really thinks people troll him on here.

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

That only saves them about 1.5mil i think
I wouldn’t think they wanna take ANY $$$ back

Probably gotta find another place for Hutton

They have a young Russian goalie can't say his name they can bring up, doubt they want a goalie coming back.

I'm with you fitz.

I never played a sport in my life but,

I remember showing up for hockey without the starting goalie/ a good goalie you knew it was going to be a long night.

One particular goalie would always say "sorry guys" every goal he let in. More like "saw-re geys" Canadian style. Goaltending is more than making saves, it's a confidence that you are going to succeed. ☝️

How confident is jack in carter Hutton?
