I thought Angel Hernandez retired?Rangers offer Kakko and 30th overall
Yeah this draft is too good to trade the 11th for anything less than a top 6 center/top line winger or top 2/3 D. I mean Adams might be motivated by the fact that he wants to save his job though.
That is absolutely terrible. That’s a better return then what Eichel got along with other star players11th, Kulich, and Joki for Rasmus Andersson?
On paper, maybe. Better way to put it is that they have "talent". They certainly could use a tough, rock solid defender, preferably RH. Their situation at forward is about the same. Lots of "talent", but need tough, two way guys there.You are assuming that you are going to get a Trouba like player in FA right?
From a cap perspective sure they trade Trouba but he definitely brings something extra to the NYR in intimidation that temas value a lot.
Either way the Sabers back end is solid they need forwards help way more.
What makes this draft "too good"? One guy that is suppossed to be a can't miss and then at least 10 guys in a group where noone stands out, last year was much stronger and next year is probably better as well.Yeah this draft is too good to trade the 11th for anything less than a top 6 center/top line winger or top 2/3 D.

I don't agree, at all. 11th is nice but by no means a getting you a sure thing(as BUF can attest to). Kulich is a late 1st that is doing well(but not amazingly) in the AHL, with no NHL experience. No one cares about the last guy.That is absolutely terrible. That’s a better return then what Eichel got along with other star players
Wasn't Kulich just named to the AHL top prospects team for a second year in a row after scoring 27 goals?I don't agree, at all. 11th is nice but by no means a getting you a sure thing(as BUF can attest to). Kulich is a late 1st that is doing well(but not amazingly) in the AHL, with no NHL experience. No one cares about the last guy.
RA is a top 2 Dman at a minimum. Still relatively young, vg both ways, and RH, which is exactly what BUF needs. Doesn't hurt that he is a Swede, and would likely be the perfect guy to support the Sabres best player, Dahlin.
If I was BUF I'd do that deal in a flash. Would go a long way to cement their D. If i was Calagary i would insist on someone like Byram instead of Jokiharju.
Absolutely not, that's an overpay. Kulich is a stud just like Savoie. Our two best prospects. #11 is pretty valuable considering the current draft range that includes Celebrini and everyone else. Jokiharju, as much as I like him, is still a decent NHL player at RD and had his best season. I'm not even sure why we need Andersson considering we have three defensemen at PP and we need a defensive and preferably physical RD like DeMelo or someone like that.I don't agree, at all. 11th is nice but by no means a getting you a sure thing(as BUF can attest to).

Sabres did exactly this and got burned by Babcock years ago. They couldn’t risk being used for leverage by Berube, getting burned again and being left without a veteran coach “chair”.On paper, maybe.

Lots of "talent", but need tough, two way guys there.
I think that they also need a change in mindset, and blew it by not offering the farm to Berube. Getting the comfortable old shoe that is Ruff is a half measure, and doesn't speak well to the owner's/upper management's commitment to improving the team.
Not for 11 oa but I think Kotkaniemi and or the rights to Teravainen/Pesce would be good for Buffalo.Talk of getting rid of Skinner. NMC though.
Need 3C. Top 6 winger (maybe). Toughness.
Not trading 11 for mediocre bottom 6.
Rangers offer Kakko and 30th overall
3 first round picks, one of them 11OA -- for a one-season rental?? I'm sorry but there's zero precedent for that type of trade.I don't agree, at all. 11th is nice but by no means a getting you a sure thing(as BUF can attest to).

How about this ?
Buchnevich + Parayko
For
10th OA + Samuelsson
As a base, with other pieces to even out value and salaries.
Sthg. around Kakko for Krebs could work. 11thOA? Not in play for Kakko.Rangers offer Kakko and 30th overall
At first I couldn't understand what New Jersey had to do with it.I’d do it. But I can’t see New Jersey agreeing to that.
People always seem to forget that had it not been for the most catastrophic bad luck to ever befall a pro hockey team ( half the roster injured and playing a defacto SCF Game 7 missing 4 of 6 starting defensemen) we'd be talking about the 2006 Cup Champion Sabres playing their home games at Lindy Ruff Arena with a giant statue of Lindy holding up the cup in Alumni Plaza.Sabres did exactly this and got burned by Babcock years ago. They couldn’t risk being used for leverage by Berube, getting burned again and being left without a veteran coach “chair”.
I personally don’t think the gap between Lindy and Berube is that big. We’ll see what happens but most of us are good with the Lindy hire. He checks all the boxes we needed in a coach.
On the plus side, a strain of Jay McKee's staph infection did make it into the Carolina Hurricanes' Hall of Fame. It is kept in a specially designed -80° freezer, and is ready to be regrown should the Sabres ever come close to winning again.People always seem to forget that had it not been for the most catastrophic bad luck to ever befall a pro hockey team ( half the roster injured and playing a defacto SCF Game 7 missing 4 of 6 starting defensemen) we'd be talking about the 2006 Cup Champion Sabres playing their home games at Lindy Ruff Arena with a giant statue of Lindy holding up the cup in Alumni Plaza.

Travis Konecny11th is worth what 11th is worth. However, at the draft, 11th can be worth a hell of a lot more to a team if their player falls.
If I can ship out 11th and Kulich for a top 6 player, I do it in a second.
WUT?3 first round picks, one of them 11OA -- for a one-season rental?? I'm sorry but there's zero precedent for that type of trade.

RA is rental value now. Hes not getting 11OA let alone add to it.RA is a top 2 Dman at a minimum. Still relatively young, vg both ways, and RH, which is exactly what BUF needs. Doesn't hurt that he is a Swede, and would likely be the perfect guy to support the Sabres best player, Dahlin.

I dont.Not for 11 oa but I think Kotkaniemi and or the rights to Teravainen/Pesce would be good for Buffalo.
Rental is not getting 11OATravis Konecny
2 yrs left is rental territory. You dont get top 12 draft picks knowingly.WUT?
How would Rasmus be a 1 year rental? He's signed for 2 more years at one of the best deals around.
And calling Joki a 1st rnd pick still is pretty funny.
Andersson is for sure worth that package. Hell, I might even turn it down.
