Samuelsson sort of falling off a cliff and being pretty undependable is frustrating for Sabres, as he at least seemed like he could potentially be one of those solutions at one point, when they handed out the super risky projection contract.

I'm one of the few Sammy defenders left on the Sabres board. I still think that if the guy can stay healthy (and remove his head from his ass), he's exactly what we need.

But we do need another of his type to balance things out.

And I, one of his most vocal detractors, don't think this is possible lol.

If Boston were to try to sell off some pieces, I'd be targeting Carlo. Some say he has lost a step, but he get's such minimal o-zone starts and continues to produce. If they wanted to deal him for a prospect and pick? Sign me up

I find it amusing that you and I tend to agree on a lot of things Sabres......but wow are we diametrically opposed on the player that is Mattias Samuelsson

I really thought he'd be the exact player you think he still could be - but I just haven't seen it since, well, before he signed his deal and then got hurt every three months.

Montreal would probably like to acquire Cozens, but the team lacks assets necessary to do so absent the likely top ten pick from this year's draft with obvious additions. Most of the actual players that would be packaged to acquire him, or of sufficient value to be traded directly like Demidov and Hutson, are too valuable to the rebuild.

I would happily add to Reinbacher or Slafkovsky, but Buffalo would be foolish to take either one as the key component in a package.

Yeah. I'd say the LD/RD thing is a bit overblown for Buffalo. It's really more about the overlap of "player types" than the handedness/sides. Overloaded a little bit on LH shooting offensive-minded D who are all kind of competing for the same sort of minutes. At least, that's sorta how it looks to me.

It's where...regardless of RD/LD, i think Buffalo does still have to make some sort of a call on which two of Dahlin/Byram/Power they want to really build around. And probably need two more "shutdown" or "stay at home" types. Though that could be two RHD, or it could be on RHD and one LHD just fine, which gives them a little more wiggle room in trying to find the right guys to restructure their blueline more coherently.

This is mostly right, but I do wanna call out the characterization of Dahlin as an offensive D. Is he an outstanding offensive talent? f*** yes. Is he also an outstanding defensive talent? Yes. Dude is just plain elite.
