Rumor: Sabres finalizing another trade (not Byram)

[Fistfullofbeer]

I dunno, maybe Jarmo fleeces another team and gets a 4th, maybe even a 3rd.

I am really not liking where this going .. but it's probably going to be us. I like Tuch and I don't even care about giving up a pick but it makes no sense for the Kraken to sign him for 6+ years at over 10M AAV which is very likely to happen with our idiot GM.

 

[Surfer Dude]

After all this drama, it's just going to be a Tuch sign and trade for a 5th.

unless its another deal with Davidson then everything is on the table

 

[johnnybbadd]

No way. The draft is in 2-3 days.

Buffalo is in win now mode. They didn’t acquire this pick to draft someone.

Not many 18 year olds play in the NHL but if they do they are almost always drafted in the top 5.

 

[TommyDangles]

Tuch signing rights for 7th overall

Not many 18 year olds play in the NHL but if they do they are almost always drafted in the top 5.

Buffalo is loaded with young players and prospects and they’re one of the best offensive team in the NHL. Their D core is young. They have the pieces there to win now.

They will be big game hunting with this pick. Watch out for Robertson, Hellebuyck, Larkin etc. I anticipate they will make a significant trade here.

I think they're changing that law this year incidentally. I read that somewhere randomly

IIRC, it's a "millionaire's tax," but you know it will be a full-blown income tax for everyone in short order.

I don't dispute that. I just think that the sign and trade may be a completely different deal than the 4OA flip.

Chad is hinting that its a Tuch sign and trade on X the everything app

Let’s see.

“We have a trade to announce” in Buffalo will hit like crack.

Chad is legit and has contacts in the org. He doesn't just spout off random rumors unless he's heard something.

 

[atlanticobserver]

Per Chad DeDominic it’s a Tuch sign and trade likely happening tonight

Could see it, Brisebois was going hard after Tuch two deadlines ago and couldn’t get it done

 

[Djp]

Sabres nhl roster right now…..

UPL
lyon
ellis
Levi

Samuelsson- Dahlin
Power- Timmins
Crevier- Metsa
RyannJohnson

Xxx- Norris- Thompson
Zucker-Ostlund-Quinn
xxx - Helenius- Doan
Carrick- McLeod-Danforth

RFA benson, Krebs
UFA Tuch, Malenstyn

Cap space around $19.4M

Kulich likely starting in Rochester as part of his revpcovery/ conditioning post blood clot / medical mystery

Moves…besides trying to resign Tuch and resigning benson to either bridge or long contract

1 trade out a G
2. Trade one of Metsa or Ryan Johnson
3. Acquire an experienced RD and trade Ryan Johnson
4. Keep/ bury/ trade Danforth?
5 trade Krebs?

Not happening. First Buffalo can afford the 9.5M and if he goes to Tampa when he talked of being closer to home woukd burn big bridges. Fans can respect he goes west to be closer to in-laws. Florida ain’t it.

 

[The Burdened]

I know everybody is hyped on that 4th overall fleecing, but the reality should be setting in they are about to lose 2 great contributors in Tuch and Byram and will likely try to replace them with big mistake contracts for worse free agents unless they can pull off a wonder trade with that 4th overall.

this is why i can see sharks 2OA in play with them to make a splash. Stenberg can play in NHL next year or maybe they love a C in Maholtra/Bjork.

Think he would take home a lot more of that money though

 

[Doctor Congo]

Buffalo is about to get Hellebuyck aren't they?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

who's Chad

He’s a f***ing Chad

9.5 in Buffalo doesn’t get you as far as 9.5 in Tampa
