The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[ValJamesDuex]

Dregs today on Sabres Live:
Kevin Adams is working diligently at looking for a roster upgrade.

And Dregs is watching two players in particular very closely on whether they have a long term in Buffalo in Byrum and Krebs.

The Isles and Pens have given out a lot of NTC/NMCs and that might make a deal next to impossible with those two teams.

I wonder who Danny would be willing to move that would be a fit in the Sabres top 6.

At this point, get Couts and deal with the ramifications in 4 years.

Hmm, interesting

Back to having a misfit line, ugh. Have a feeling that Zucker/Krebs/Quinn will be painful to watch for the 9 ES minutes they get together.

Zucker and Krebs have been playing just fine.

I wouldn't call that a misfit line at all.....certainly nowhere near the level of our previous misfit lines.

He is in year 3 of an 8 year deal. He is playing well to start the season, but there is no way I would want the Sabres to add him given that contract and his inability to stay healthy and productive lately.

Thankfully, his full NTC clause likely means that there is zero chance Adams can trade for him.

Sabres hope shifting struggling Dylan Cozens to wing can ignite him - Buffalo Hockey Beat

Sabres forward Dylan Cozens welcomes the change and a chance to showcase more of his outside speed.

That fits with 32 Thoughts saying Adams is busy trying to add.

It'll be interesting to see if Cozens comes alive on the wing, or if he sinks McLeod and Greenway. I think this line has a decent chance of working out well.

On the other hand, I'm expecting Quinn to drag Zucker and Krebs down. I think i'd rather see one of Kulich/Malestyn/NAK in that spot until Quinn snaps out of it.

I'm in 100% agreement on this. There are several players that could/need to step things up, but Quinn has been by far to me the biggest black-hole dragging things down around him this season.

The Byram speculation makes sense given cap and roster construction concerns. With the right pieces added there could be an interesting hockey trade in the making.

Look…I don’t care what happens to Byram tbh. The trade never made a lick of sense to me outside of kicking the paying a player can down the road another year. Now they can try to kick that can too. Because of course. The problem is they had a more valuable asset when they started this dog and pony show. An asset they desperately need right now btw. Do you really trust that Adams is going to pull off a good trade when the main goal is not to pay a player again this off-season?

All those years of saving cap being told it was to pay these players. Cool story. Hope no one bought it.

Trading Byram for a second line centre would be very funny

Yep. Hated the trade from the get-go...just dumb. But if they landed a Beniers level center, it would at least go some ways to rectifying their own goal.

Then we can compare his stats to Casey for the rest of their careers. Still think we need a top 4 D though and losing Byram would just add to that.
