Any other names there, and not talking Fiala.
- Buff36


Ideally, for me a trade with Minny would look something like:

Fiala & Talbot for
Mitts & Portillo, plus our FLA 1st maybe?

Depends what other teams are offering for Fiala
We can obviously take on even more Cap as well,
which very few teams can

Well he is when Gerbe's said "brother's if the money works"
- Buff36


Just bc something is talked about, doesn’t mean it’ll happen
And even if Malcolm gets signed, doesn’t mean it’ll be for the Sabres

It would also be surprising if PK Subban even wanted to come to Buffalo
I hope not, bc it would be a bad idea imo

Vasilesky is worth every cent of that contract.

He’s young & cheap- emphasis on cheap
That’s exactly what Minny needs with their Cap issues
Wouldn’t make sense for them to move him
Makes sense for them to move out Cap

Remember, it’s not just what we wanna acquire
But also what they are willing to give up

I guess

Do we normally talk about who the Vet goalie in Rochester could be next year though?

Nbd, just seems like a nothing topic to me

Until Buffalo stops using 4/5 goalies goalies a season, kinda an issue. And the blog was about just signing Subban and no one else, in a speculative conversation like piece. 🤷‍♂️

I’d like a stud goalie too, and I’m sure Adams would also
But it’s not like the Rangers are gonna trade Shesterkin
Stud goalies just don’t become available

They aren't paying Fiala that kind of money.

Really, thanks for the explanation. And if there moving that cheap cap for more cheap cap, that they have longer control over, seems to help just as much. And there moving almost 4m in cap with Talbot

They’re talking about moving out big $$$ guys like Dumba or Fiala
Talbot’s name is out there bc he wants to go & they don’t wanna pay their backup 3.7mil when they need Cap space

Addison is on his ELC and super cheap
Maybe they’d move him, but it doesn’t fit at all in the reasoning of why they’re looking to move others

Gonna have to spend on someone(s) to get to the Cap floor

Might as well be on a good player

There’s no reason to be snippy
I’m sure Adams would like to get a good goalie

I know Addison is on his ELC with 1yr left, but when they can get someone back on there ELC with more than 1yr left it HELPS there cap situation.

Agree but, don't think they are looking for 8 mill a year players.

Talbot is a good goalie as long as what's in front of him is good also.

R.Johnson for Addison?
Maybe they’d consider that i guess
