Yeah they can, but what changed with the Sabres over the last 3 months. Yes we drafted well, but we already had the number 1 ranked prospect pool.
- Buff36

We all know #1 ranked prospect pools mean jack sh!te.

We have enough forward prospects now that we can afford to give some away for a superstar in the making

To get a superstar player?

The chances of those prospects truing out to be Robertson level are very low.
- ImThatGuy

Not sure if Robertson is 100% proven superstar

1 good year, no guarantees with at least a few consistent seasons. ☝️

We had enough pieces 3 months ago to get a pretty damn good player or players for less.

Why change anything though. If your adams/ VENTURA?

KA has to be ahead of his schedule, we skipped a fee years of tank with the good trades for eichel ect.

I don't see any reason to make a 4 for 1 trade at this point.
- Boss34

I'm not saying to use 4 strong actual player assets for one.

I am saying that this kid is extremely good and is in the heart of the Sabres timeline. It would be foolish not to explore, and he could be had for, based on Debrincat, a player plus the value of a top 5-10 prot pick, 2 and 3.

Anderson may start opening night... but only because its his former team in most likely his last year.

Its Comrie's net to lose this year. You don't give the net to a 41 year old
- DirtyDan

I disagree.

Its andersons job unless comrie does something spectacular. Anderson will get every opportunity to play, he didnt come back to back up at 41......

His job to lose

Im not a fan of the midg,

Robertson I have loved the last 2 years. Now hes available. Call me bias

He is a ppg player two years in a row (more or less) at the age of 23. He's analytically strong like bull.

Trust me, he's good.

He played 31 last year... I'll take the under

I can assure you it is Comrie's job to lose. If Comrie is healthy, he will be the primary starter. I am certain of this.

How is this a negative on Robertson?
- ImThatGuy

Negative on the Robertson "trade".

They would most likely want to shead some salary by trading him.

Gotta sign their own guys ... hintz

It's cool, I like him to. Me and Dog and a few others talked about him a bit last year. I have no problem going and getting him, just funny how quick people change.

Lots of assurances, I disagree.

Ottawa Anderson
Florida comrie

Then out west. Probably split starts for the foreseeable future IMO

How many games before Anderson is hurt?

I'm not a doctor, but it's his job to lose.

Everything this current franchise is built on, aims in Anderson's direction.


Oh , and a guy with 58 career nhl goals isn't a superstar IMO

im not sure anderson can withstand the starting role anymore.. it might be more of a 65%/25% split..

You keep referencing DeBrincat as a direct comparable, but it is not as the number of years of team control are totally different, plus DeBrincat can ARB his way to UFA status after this season, which Robertson cannot.

Plus, Robertson has 5 years of team control left, not 4.

Barring obvious injury, Anderson isnt here to carry around the back up goalies equipment.

Especially when comrie has 13 career wins vs over 300 nhl wins.

Anderson is the starter, take a look at how okposo and girgs were the captains. It's just how it goes.

thats why my math on the split didn't add up to 100%.. the rest if for UPL/subban/house/Zamboni driver
