Get a number 1RD and that D core looks good

That forward group still needs a lot of work though, IMO

Hopefully they just need time to develop. It's a very solid top 9 on paper, especially when you add the top 5 pick from this year, along with Rosen and a russian or two. Just need two guys to hit their ceiling instead of their floor. Not to mention, you can have a little less upfront when you have Dahlin or Power on the ice for 45+ minutes a night.

Add in a Savoie or Wright and then another one in 2023 and there could be some real good depth and high end talent

- Stripes77

Hamilton got 9 per

Barrie got 4.5 per

Martinez got 3 years 15.75 so 5.25 per and I think that is close to what to expect as far as the player


so would you go 3 years 18 or 4 years 24 for Klingberg?


I think it would be a smart move if he hits UFA

Kadri and a 2 or 3 for 1 trade would fix that

He will be 30 going into next season, it would take an overpay by money and term to get him here I think. He's been pretty healthy his entire career.

I would do a 5 year $35 million $7 million per contract for him.

I don't know if that's enough to entice him to come here though.

He is a major point producing defensemen, I don't know how him and Dahlin would mesh but as a Swede it could help.

The Sabres can easily afford him cap wise.

Word on the street is Klingberg wants in the range of 8 years for $63 million.

Right. 7@8m probably isn't going to get him here.

I wouldn't give him close to 7 years. Maybe a 1 year massive overpay would work, while they try to find a more permanent top 2 RD.
