Value of: PSA--Sabres trade proposals

[Marlowe Syn]

Are you, in fact, Kevyn Adams?

Imo, that's exactly the kind of players you need to get in that lockerroom with the young/youngish players who have a losing culture tattooed on their spine by now.

Specifically the positions you said, like a 2C (keep Cozens on the wing, if he doesn't go in a trade) and top 4 RHD, someone who can back up their talk by actual top of the lineup playing ability, instead of someone like the corpse of EJ.

There's no such thing as "fit for timeline" or "in a couple of years" for the current generation of Sabres. They need to start consistently winning. Like last year. That Adams didn't get Pesce or Roy was unbelievable. Considering what they actually signed for, I'd think one of them would have signed for the Sabres for an extra million per year for the same term. Such a contract would have been well worth it, imo.

Imo, they should put atleast Rosèn, Wahlberg and one of Östlund and Helenius on the table. R Johnson, too, if they're keeping all three puckmoving LHD.

I don't know the dude, but Pesce strikes me as a Cup is much more important than a buck type of player. He was on some mediocre Canes teams early in his career, and has gotten that sweet taste of playoff hockey recently. Doubt the thought of going through that again holds appeal. He's already pocketed a cool $25M in his career, so he's set financially.

Gotta start winning if you want to attract winners. That is easier said than done. Especially with shitty ownership and the trickle down effect that has.

If Vancouver comes to the conclusion they will trade Elias Pettersson I feel Buffalo is one the the teams that have the assets and the cap room needed to make a major move. Not sure what each fan base would target but if I was in Kevin Adams position I'd see a Power+ package as the ideal guy to build an offer around. Buffalo has soo many young players and prospect, I don't see how they wouldn't have the pieces to get a deal done. Maybe Power + Benson for EP40?

Having a 1 - 2 punch at centre of Thompson + Pettersson and a LD of Dahlin, Byram and Samuelsson seems a good structure to me.

I’m sure this will be about as effective.

I wouldn't mind a top 10, 15, 20 or even 25 trade chart like TSN has and pin it to the top for people to post in.

Sometimes you come here and there is 4-5 threads of the same player like EP40 and other threads get pushed to the 2nd page and who clicks on the 2nd page?

HFBoards had a top 10 trade board in would be also interesting to just post there for those players but perhaps that would curve content.

Just a thought.

You guys want JT Miller? Would likely need a center coming back (Cozens+ or Byram+).

Yes, times a f***ing billion because this team finds new ways to dig a hole deeper and putting Miller in our locker room would be like putting dynamite in that hole

I've said Power for Pettersson in other threads.
