Seattle = close to Vancouver
Sam = wants out west

Sam = Seattle

If your a player, why wouldn't you want to play for an expansion team, after the success in Vegas?

Plenty of $ to pay sam....


Book it - B34
- Boss34

For what though?

Samsonite doesn't get you a top-5 pick, they don't have any prospects yet and he's worth more than a 2nd

Their first and Buf chooses their choice of goalies that they take. Done deal.

For just Sam? Thats a little much

He isn't, but like you just said, they don't have anything to offer. After his showing as a "#1C" would be a good start, and most likely the best player they could hope to start with.

How doesn't he ?

Is it? Most likely #5 & choice of what amounts to 3 backup goalies for what they would presume to be a number one center.

Looking back at Vegas, it ended up being Cody Glass. We'll see. Maybe send them Boston's 2 as well?

I'll take, "Things I Want to Unsee" for 1000, Alex.

Im pretty confident Seattle would love to make Sam their franchise player without developing a player aka like Vegas has with stone

I'm with you. Samson's value might be in the neighborhood, but not a top5 pick for a team with exactly 1 prospect in their cupboard.

Isn't it kinda sad that if he got selected by them, pending the return of course, he would most likely be on the best team he's ever played for.

Think it depends. If they can swing a few deals for a couple other firsts like Vegas, having Sam as their first guy is pretty tantalizing. Vegas struck lightning with Wild Bill, and the Panthers debacle. Seattle most likely won't be able to get that lucky, but you bet their "fans" are going to expect it, after watching Vegas. Getting competitive quickly will be a priority to bring in the fans.

Lose the kinda and you're spot on. I wonder if he'd score 40 tbh.

Well with his new bomb off of the "Eichel spot" on the PP, 30s are certainly attainable for a while.

- jcragcrumple

Well basically, you get to keep borgen, asplund , tage or whomever was the most likely exposed player.

And pick 2 medium range guy's from the expansion draft.
Gmka and Francis have a good relationship
Let gmka pick who he wants off the 30 teams non protected list.

Add a 2nd, which is like a 1st.

Sam absolutely boosted his value by showing his ability to play center.
This post isnt about giving Sam away.
He proves his worth

I like your Sam to Vancouver trade...but I had a Saul to Paul transformation on him. Keep him if you can

Something like this works 👍

Maybe we add someone young - bryson, Samuelson to acquire the 1st?

Goona be a couple goalies available for sure

The proposed lineups look pretty solid. They won't be top heavy, but will have some of the best depth in the league. I think they'll be pretty good to start, at least contending for a playoff spot out west.

Immediately slap the "c" on his Jersey.

If you're Samson ( and you might be) I think Seattle would be a great situation. Close to home, all new building and equipment ect.

I wouldn't doubt that but

"Mike Harrington: Six rules for Kevyn Adams to follow if he trades Jack Eichel | Buffalo Sabres News | buffalonews.com" https://buffalonews.com/s...da4-c7bc42e1317f.amp.html
Been a little surprised by Harrington lately, usually I just skip most of his stuff, but another decent read.
- Buff36

Weren't we all lead to believe Eichel didn't like O'Reilly and vice versa...?

And where was Eichel on a certain June night in 2019 in Boston? In the stands for Game 7, watching O'Reilly raise the Cup – and posting a picture on his Instagram page to congratulate his former teammate.

I would be fine keeping him But when hes been basically begging for a long term contract forever I think hes over it now when Another rebuild is about to happen

Yup. All good points.

we could always include card and funk as sweeteners?

but seriously throw in a weissbech or girgensons type player with sam and it gets there doesn't it

So that's what we're doing...we're rebuilding again?

The org thinks it has the right to get rid of Eichel, Rhino, etc. because these players have bad attitudes...

HELLO MCFLY!

Why the (frank) do you think they ended up with these bad attitudes??

EDIT: literally the only way I could stomach continuing to watch this absolute tire fire of an organization is if the bring in Torts next year.
