NYR seems like a fit?
Go get Trouba?
He can chew up some big hard minutes until Power can get above 20 mins a game.
He has 4yrs left at 8 mil cap and likely gets pushed out as they have Schneider who could replace a bit of what Trouba does in a few years.
Dahlin likely benefits from 2 other guys playing 20-22 mins a game.
BUF sends some cap/money back.
They have 3 1st rounders no?

Isn't Trouba's spouse settled in the Metro area though? He's got a 15-team no-trade in his contract already... I can't see him waiving that to go anywhere but where his partner is.

Buffalo has a top 20 hospital in New York State.
You have one RD under contract for next year and a protected $42 million in cap space.
He plays 22 1/2 mins a game and you act like that's a bad thing?

Hronek would interest me, but Buffalo's center prospects/young centers are not on the table for him. So probably not a good fit.
Ideally for the Sabres, it would be a young LHD (e.g. Johnson, Samuelsson) for young RHD swap.
Also, any idea why he was healthy scratched earlier this season?
Sabres def need to find a long term partner for Power. Pysyk is a good placeholder for Dahlin right now they seem to elevate eachother and hes cheap. RD glaring hole
might be Owen Power. Roll Bryson-joker. Then find a partner for Samuelsson (pysyk?)
power-dahlin
Bryson-joker
Samuelsson-Pysyk

Future Buffalo defense
1st Pair LD Power RD Johnson
2nd Pair LD Dahlin RD Jokiharju
3rd Pair LD Samuelsson RD Laaksonen
Extra: LD Bryson

Okay, even on Team Canada’s upcoming Olympic roster?
Just because you play center on the top line it doesn’t make you 1C caliber.
Same goes with a 7th D in a projected lineup.
It’s rather a good thing having competition pushing talent down the lineup.

Bryson is better then a 7D right now and is probably Buffalo’s 3rd-4th best defenseman but in the future I could see Bryson getting pushed out of LD by defenseman that are projected to be more gifted physically offensively and defensively.
Bryson does have the heart and plays upwards of 20 minutes a night on average but Bryson isn’t a world beater as far as offense defenseman go with (1 career goal) and is kind of short 5’9 and light 185lbs for being a defensive defenseman, who are usually taller and have longer reach.
The thing that saves Bryson is his skating is above average and puck moving abilities are good in the passing department.
Bryson is still prone to untimely turnovers especially under heavy forechecking from the opposition.

My proposal from the Habs Fire Sale thread...
To Buffalo: Gallagher, Savard, Allen
To Montreal: 2022 7th, Dell
Sabres add a veteran RW to provide leader ship to their young core, a veteran RD to mentor their young D, and a serviceable veteran goalie
Habs rid themselves of the long term contracts of Gallagher and Savard without having to take back any salary

Don't disagree. I think he has more upside. He might not break this roster, but I think as an asset he is better than a 7D. In which case, they should trade him for another asset.

over the next 3 drafts buffalo has 10 picks in the first 2 rounds.
they can drsft of make a trade such as Johnson for an equivalent RD.
That's way, way too much salary to expect Buffalo to take on given their current actions. Beyond that, I would also be shocked if Gallagher didn't have Buffalo on his no-trade list. Savard just signed in Montreal to be close to home as he winds down his career and while he has no trade control, I can't see him being all that happy with departing a 1/16th of the way into that deal.
