The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[TheMistyStranger]

If I were in charge, I'd be moving out a couple of guys in big, splashy hockey trades to teams who are on the bubble or below it, and put in a waiver claim on Fischer. Always liked him.

Plus/Minus is a terrible stat, BUT when I see that Cozens, Quinn, and Power are a combined -40, I understand why it's tracked.

Wanted to gauge a fantasy trade and didn't want to post this to main boards to create potential mess of a thread.

Just waated to inquire what is the maximum value the Sabres would pay for Matthew Knies?

My target in this fantasy scenerio would be 1 piece from each tier below:

1 NHL high pedigree player:

1) Kulich
2) Benson
3) Quinn

If you had to include one of the three in this fantasy Knies deal which would it be?

1 high quality prospect on fringe of NHL

1) Rosen
2) Ostlund
3) Helenius

1 1st round pick can be top 10 protected from

1) 2026 Draft
2) 2027 Draft
3) 2028 Draft

Now this is again mostly fantasy and I dont expect leafs-sabres to make a move and more importantly make a move of this magnitude

More so want to see how Sabre fans view their internal top 9 assets that could be available (did not include Powers, Cozens or Byram here since I wanted to see NHL trade where Sabres are buyers) and what they would value Knies.

If the above is way off base and too much, no worries can totally understand, I more so want to to just get some opinions without outsude voices of other teams coming in and destroying and potential discussions. Thanks

@rt did a proposal of Cozens for Crouse and Kesselring a few weeks back and it was generally considered a good, even deal.

Frank didn’t like it though. Haha.


After he was so nice to us when he was on our show!


I guess we deserved it. We had Kesselring on the show and then started putting the poor guy in trade mockups. Haha.

What about simplify this and go dahlin for knives one for one?

Or would the cap not work for the leafs in this trade?

We'll just pass through here.

I don't know what Frank doesn't like about it, but I like the deal and it makes sense for me.
