Alrite.

So what I've got, and it goes against what I've posted I felt.

Jack to Calgary is almost locked in. Goes against Broads' friend who says LA, but lines up with the Mayor/Freidman.

Surgery talk is dead silent, just like Freidman/Dredger claimed.

Sam Reinhart is 100% gone. Doesn't want to return. I made him say 100%, he said 100%.

Same with Risto.

Granato is 50/50. Adams wants to talk to Lane Lambert and Jeff Halpern.

I don't give a poop if I turn out to be wrong. My guy has been connected to the Sabres for many years. Throws stones if ya feel like it.

Good information.

I could see every senario.

My source for what it's worth said tkachuk , zary and a 1st to start.

Tkachuk would be the centerpiece for eichel.

One more thing.

I disagree with it, but he said expect to trade 1OA.

I could live with this return. Zary is the real deal

Maybe management saw something this season that made them want sam on the team?

Sam looked good at center and under donnie's system.
Maybe he's grown into a leader this past season?
I admittedly saw him differently: around mid april.
Playing well without eichel was important to prove.

- Boss34


The only defense of a 1 year deal for Sam is the pandemic. They were being very cheap with their moves. It wasn't a league-wide trend, so I don't cut them much slack.

My opinion of Sam really didn't change this season.

I've seen him compared to Bergeron in the "way he thinks the game"

No, asking you, is Rhino worth the 8th.
- Buff36


Yes, he absolutely is, as this is not a loaded draft.

I'm a big eichel fan, but I agree. If it's time to move on, let's get a physical presence in tkachuk, young up and coming nhl player and a pick for the future.

Sam upped his value this past season
Eichel deflated his value this past season
Risto was risto this past season

It's strange, every move sounds like the are in a rebuild. Trading #1 makes it sound like they are in denial again. Unless they are only going back a pick or two, it doesn't make sense.

I agree, so I would thinkTurcotte and the 8th is pretty close, maybe with with a few tweaks.

Turcotte, one of vilardi/bjornfot/Kaliyev, 8OA got Sam, VO, and Mtl 3rd

Yay Nay?

- SDSabre


Close. If LA says Turcotte, Bjornfot, 8th overall for Reinhart, but Jokiharju must be included, do you do it?

I really think they had aspirations of hall x 8 years and letting sam go.

I thought sam kinda had a prove it year.
You had him looking competent at center before the season? 🤔

My guess is they're only trading down a few spots in the order, and either picking up another pick this year or preferably a 1st round pick in '22.

The bold was absolutely the plan at the start of last season, until the season actually took place.

Power could be a dream player for some franchises.
He's clearly #1

Sabres fan's would love the pick if we weren't trying to win immediately. A team with some patience.......

GMTM PTSD kicks in sometimes. Trade Jack, Sam, and Risto, then start moving futures for replacements. Nightmare.

Not if your keeping 1. Bjornfot would be behind Dahlin and Power then. RD would be absolutely bare, which would be comical as were we’ve been for a while now
