Speculation: The 2026-27 Roster Speculation Thread: Summer Edition - Throw in All The Oars, We're Trading for Battleships

[Dirty Dog]

Is there a world where they both keep the 4OA and use the rest of the ammo to acquire a player like Thomas?

I think the Sabres still have some holes to fill obviously. But the 4th overall is tempting to just use and trade away other future assets.

It certainly makes me less hesitant to move ostlund or Helenius

 

[truthbluth]

Keep an eye on Chicago…

Like I said

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Duane who had the KA firing news from someone a while back says he has heard Quinn might be the next guy going

see about 6:00

some more rumors from Duane's source here( I time stamped the video below).

Says San Jose, Columbus, Nashville are teams to watch

20 & Quinn to try and get a center

4 and Norris for something else

 

[Beerz]

Like I said

Well done.

I’ve been on the trade Quinn now train for a while. Potted his 20. Worked hard down the stretch and into the playoffs. But I don’t want to give him his next contract and Kulich or Helenius slide right into his spot cheaper and with more upside.

 

[Jetskiis]

Sounds like a Tuch sign and trade is coming next. Given the late hour i would speculate Seattle.


Tuch, Levi for wright, koko, and Evans F it im done expecting reasonable trades

 

[Chainshot]

Guess Jarmo looked at the cost for Thomas, Larkin or Hischier and thought - nah, I can do something else.

I was thinking Quinn to Ottawa for Spence

Hoping the Sabres stick and pick though.

Our friend Duane S says his source says other stuff is cooking. I posted it above

If we get Wright tonight too I may need to change my pants again

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Quinn+20 for McCann

If it's 4 and Norris for Hellebucyk, all this good feeling will be right in the toilet.

I don’t know but I’d sure love it if there was! lol

I just can't think a 4th OA for a goalie is even plausible

I didn't think 4OA was possible for Byram and yet here we are.

Crazy times, friends, crazy times.

Here comes Wright, Evans, Koko, and #7 for Levi, Tuch sign and trade, Levi, Quinn and jarmo's pocket lint

 

[Revelate]

Highly unlikely and maybe unnecessary, but what would it take to swap picks with the Sharks to get Stenberg? Would something like Quinn be enough? Is that too much? Tough for me to gauge.

Chicago was reportedly trying to do it and obviously didn’t get close enough.

And you’ve seen how they trade.

Again, my valuation meter apparently needs a factory reset. BUT.......

I wouldn't think that's enough. I think the Sharks are in love with Stenberg. And it makes sense -- the Sharks have their centers of the future. A possibly-elite-level winger would be a perfect match with Macklin or Misa.

I'm fine sitting right at 4 OA and taking whichever of Malhotra or Bjorck that Vancouver doesn't. Get our own possible 1C with what is ostensibly our last good shot to do so.

I will be up again to pee about 3 (prostate) lol

 

[EichHart]

What's the plan here. Can't lose Tuch, Byram, and Kessering...We need high quality replacements. Can't expect all the kids to step up.
