Would you make that deal if you were the Sabres GM?

No, I know what i got in Krebs and haven't seen his full all out yet, Fiala will cost at least 8 a year and he's on a good team. Didn't do much with the Preds when he was there.

Uh, that's a tough one now. That contract doesn't hurt us really for3 -4yrs if he doesn't keep up his production, if he does it turns into a bargain.

Makes you question what Krebs ultimately is as a player.

I would really have to think about it. Krebs I don't think will ever be a 30 goal scorer, but I think he has the better play making ability.

The Sabres know what he and Mitts are, not 8 mill a year players.

Well what we do know, is that if he doesn’t tear his Achilles, he very well would have been a top 10ish pick in what looks to be a very strong draft class.

His last full season in the WHL he won MVP and was in a tier of his own.

His AHL production at his age signals a top 6 forward at the NHL level.

His play with the Sabres was hit or miss, micro stats left a lot to be desired, but he had jaw dropping playmaking ability.

His floor is what Mitts is now, his ceiling could very well be Briere for all we know.

I believe Fiala had 23 goals and 25 assists during his 21 year old season with Nashville.

Krebs just had 7 goals and 15 assists at the same age.

Right, they are cheap and not nearly as good.

The Sabres would dance in the streets if either and especially both players produced a season like Fiala just did.

Looks like they gave him the award when he played in 24 games?

That was the Covid shortened season, right?

His passing was amazing, but he also had a habit of making ridiculous passes to the opposition as well.

To be fair to Krebs, Fiala did have nearly 60 NHL games under his belt going into his age 21 season and played wing on a team that won 53 games that year.

Krebs really only played ~ 15 games prior to coming to Buffalo or somewhere in that area.

Krebs MIGHT end up being good
We already know that Fiala is good though

I get if ppl don’t wanna move Krebs
Like i said earlier, I’d rather include Mitts in a trade for Fiala

But regardless, Fiala is undoubtedly a heck of a player

I thought getting good players was what mattered

Can’t put together a good team without good players after all

Especially since Scheifele is only signed for 2 more years

Dahlin is pretty much untouchable imo

In time, not just yet maybe another year. They will pay our own players first, Adams doesn't think we need high end big money players to win.

Not disagreeing with you but it's the Sabres and Adams is a different kind of GM then Murray or Botterill and the situation is different then before also.
