I'd want it to happen now

2024 unprotected
Quinn
Middelstat
2 nd
- Anderdog

Hard no

Meier (contract extension negotiated prior to trade)
For
Ostlund/Rosen
Conditional 2nd (can become a 1)
Portillo


What else do the Sabres have to add.

Doesn't matter. If you need to move Quinn, Peterka, another prospect and picks for RD and Top 6 forward help, you do it.
- RichardRoma

No you don't, you are talking about Tim Murray type fishing for better.
let the kids grow. they are both playing a good 200 foot game, the goals will come.

Yeah but Mike Harrington doesn't think they can pay him in two and a half years
- Hank Balling

that sounds like future problems

They gave up 20 high danger chances last night, including 15 at even strength, and only had 6 overall themselves.

Not sure how great the defense is playing, especially some members of the defense.
- kingcong39

Those numbers are on the forwards not the defense, the defense can't cover everybody.

Would agree, just don't see this team making a move, they've clearly committed themselves to Bryson and Lyboosh for another year.

Wouldn't see why Johnson wouldn't come here. Clear opportunity to start on the 3rd pair or even with Power. Team has shown the potential and shown they can be a wild card team.

Youngest team in the league, only getting younger(which to me is scary)

bryson needs to be upgraded

I don't disagree. Small offensive minded D-man that isn't good enough to contribute offensively. Bad in his own end.

Just not sure if he could even be moved in a trade. Or if the Sabres would literally move anyone. "Vibes"

oh my

doesn't he also make like a 1 mil more than he should?

they can the one coach who had nothing but bad luck and the deck stacked against him

Yeah that cap doesn't help. If Hino couldn't be moved I don't see a team wanting Bryson even at half the cap

"Buffalo Bills Fire Defensive Coach" with a picture of Frazier... You had me in the first half MSN.

We could realistically have $6.95Million tied up in the AHL with

Bjork, Hino, Comrie, Bryson

I see why they keep 3 goalies and a horrid D-man.... That would be a bad look

- DirtyDan

I don’t think that’s terrible.

Comrie needs to play eventually and hino and Bjork contracts are expiring.

Bryson is in our top 6

So I don’t where you are going with that

I've come to the realization we wont trade for a D.

Once Johnson comes our 6 are locked for another year IMO.

Dahl-Sam
Power-Joker
Johnson-Lyboosh
Bryson

I would not count on Johnson Signing with the Sabres at all. he is so close to UFA status why sign a rookie deal now?

If he wanted to play for the Sabres he could of for the last 4 years. He is not signing in Buffalo...

He gets an ELC either way. If it's with Buffalo, he can burn the 1st year of it. Might not be enough, but it's something.

Just saying it "could" have happened

Also Johnson jumping right to the NHL and being productive/locked in top 6 role is a very large assumption.

I'm interessted.

Using $90m as the ceiling, how would you allocate that between the 3 primary position groups of F, D, G?
- IonSabres

Good question.

Obviously the Sabres have (2) 1OA's so their divison of salary would be different then most nhl teams.

I'd say 8% goalie = 7.2 million
28% defenseman = 25.2 million
66% forward = 59.4 million

Just rough numbers, but dahlin at 10 million , sam at 4.5 and power at 6 million (based on dahlins bridge deal)
So were at 20 or 21 with the big 3

I'm not sure I would feel comfortable adding a connor Murphy at 4 or 5 million.
Need to pay guys 5,6 and 7

Just rough #'s. Need those entry level deals almost at every position

Luke Schen is the guy to help in the stretch run to the playoffs.
- Freddie krug

THis is the type of deal i want, jack johnson that type and it costs us what a 4th

But getting him here for a Rochester Playoff Run would help get that process started.

You aren't getting Schenn for a 4th
