keep thinking every sabre prospect is untouchable

It’s rivaling on Rangers fan when trying to trade for Jack Eichel.

Because KA is more concerned with "losing a trade" than winning NHL hockey games.

Having a surplus of picks and prospects is what was supposedly going to give us the leg up on prying NHL talent from a team.


Where does Ostlund fit in on this roster in 1-2 years?

What about Rosen?

people seem to forget that each month rosen and ostlund are out of the nhl, they are losing trade value

if I had a dollar for every time I heard a gm say

"so and so called and made a solid hockey trade offer that was good for our club so we took the offer and wish player x well in his new town and thank them for their service with us"


trades come out of right field, when the gm tries

Correct.

They needed a good hockey trade this offseason.

BrindAmour?? Doesn’t his dad hate Skinner?

Awkward.


Like we can never have Domi either bc Rayzor would fight his dad in the parking lot.
- Da_Cashman

I think there’s a Skylar brindamour that’s around nhl age? Kinda a joke

I send you a return pm btw

Correct.

How many more points would have a good hockey trade added to our point total?

Outgoing:
Savoie or the benson pick , maybe both?

Would the benson pick being traded bother you now?

According to legend, Botts went off on the nacho cart after the Sabres stunk it up on Children’s Night.

yeah gm's never trade a player they did not plan on traded because they got a great offer


that never happens

I said I dont believe they'll overpay if playoffs arent 100%.

- homiedclown

I don't.. but when they look like great prospects it takes a great player to trade them.. Chychrun was not it.

Something about having cheap contracts in the future

I would love some of y’all as my boss all I’d have to say is “I’m trying” and I’d be crowned as best in the business.

Except Ka has actually patched this ship from sinking to the bottom of the Marianna's.

he had no problem pissing away 3rd rd pick bloom, who they signed at 19, to the nucks for a blah d man that they put on waivers to send to rochester a few months later


if adams wanted to make a splash, he could have

No ones said anyone is "untouchable", just that the guy brought up was not the guy to trade for.

he walked into a gm's wet dream



and really has not put his stamp on the team other than drafting with all those picks

Who has been available/traded this offseason that rivals Eichel ?

Twas weird. IDK what the specifics were on bloom. Did he not see a way here and wanted somewhre else? I was one of the guys very critical of that trade.

I berated Stillman for weeks.

Correct.

I like how when you say good hockey trade, it automatically translates to Benson plus Savoie plus plus plus

Top 3 scoring team not a stamp?

He put them together...

- DirtyDan

I think levi, tage, dahlin, power, cozens, quinn, ryan johnson, benson, and tuch are as close to untouchable as a player can be



without a huge massive overpayment, they are not on any trade block under any circumstance

repeat it , otherwise it could be a fluke


and the team is brutal in their own end

- sbroads24

In the next 1-2 years, got to figure the following spots open up: Oloffson, Okposo, Jost, Girgenson and maybe Greenway and Mitts. So that's 4-6 spots for Savoie, Kulich, Ostlund, Rosen, Rousek, Biro, etc.

Correct.

There wasnt any "good" hockey trades this summer though... Karlsson trade was bleak of anything meaningful.

Couple old vets got bummed around.

It was a hard market.

they had just signed him a few months earlier


if there was no "path" I doubt 2 more guys would have been picked up front with their first 2 picks and rumor has it they wanted to move up to get wahlberg

it's up to gm's to make a market as well though
