I completely agree that McGroarty is exactly what we need. I just don't think we've got what Chevy wants.
We shall see though.
Just curious if you believe that T Peg told GMJB June 30th to trade ROR before the bonus was due or back in January - March timeframe of that year and GMJB spent months shopping him while trying to talk T Peg out of dealing him?

No thanks. I do want veterans don't get me wrong. But not ones on the sunset of their careers who have no ties to organization who are just gonna come and collect a check.

I get the sentiment, I do.
But I think Jensen and Dowd have a bit left in the tank, certainly enough for next year to help us make the playoffs.

Agreed. That being said there’s still a lot of work to do (another top 6 forward and possibly a 3C) I really don’t want Krebs or Dowd playing 3C next year - I’d be pretty concerned.

Yeah, if Dowd is here....he's ticketed for 4C/PK/Faceoffs role. 3C and it's an issue.

Jokiharju would probably look good playing for a different team (like most Sabres). An unprotected 2025 1st on top of Joker would give Chevy some ammo for that center he needs.

Hey Kevin. This is Kevyn.
I have a guy familiar with Winnipeg and probably likes it. Your fans are probably familiar with him too and would be happy to have him back.
His name is Matthew Savoie.
Do we have a deal?
I don't like McGroarty that much.

I think the Jets come out the winners here. They get rid of a player that has no interest in playing for them and Savoie turns into a solid top 6 player.

I think McGroarty is really good and he fits our style perfectly. I don't remember exactly how much I liked him in the draft, but I think he was in my mix for #9 and I would definitely take him at #16. I wouldn't want to trade Savoie, he's my favorite prospect, although even there I would consider. Krebs, Jokiharju, Kulich, picks, something like that.

In general on capitals...
I dont ser what they can do.
They have a 9/7/1 roster with about $3M in space.backstrum is LTIR at 9.2M
Oshie is the big 1 yr rental UFA onbtheir rrg oster they could trade for youth.
what other teams misfit toys could they buy cheap?
I had him lower, down in the 20s I believe. I remember his skating was kinda painful. Everything else was good though, but I am wondering if he has improved in that area any.

From his thread on HF:
"Skating still obviously isn't his strong suit, but there has been improvement on it since his draft and I believe hes smart enough to overcome that weakness."
"He's tied for his team lead in points, and thats having missed 5 games. 12th overall in total points in the NCAA, and fewer games than every player ahead of him.
He's leading the NCAA in PPG right now, and doing so by a considerable margin (.10, which is larger than the gap between 2nd and 5th).
He also has the highest PPG (1.82) right now in the NCAA since Kyle Connor (1.87). The modern day NCAA record is Gaudreau at 2.00.
His offensive upside is way underrated. Too many people think because he plays hard and is a good leader that he's not got elite scoring skills. I think he's going to score 1PPG+ in the NHL. Should be moved back to Center, then Winnipeg could get a 1C, and my Tavares comparison will be complete."
But as I understand it, he still needs to work on his tempo and skating. Otherwise, he seems like a good player with leadership qualities and a perfect fit for our style.
Incidentally, McGroarty played few years when Leone was an assistant coach at USNTDP.

His skating isn't aesthetically pleasing stylistically but he's effective with it. I had him mid teens in his draft, and was on the Gauthier or Kasper train for #9

Leone connection could be interesting. I don't know what the last conversation McGroarty had with the Jets was after they stopped talking. Considering that they have always been slow to develop prospects and prefer veterans even on the third line, they could have simply told him he needs 1-2 years in the AHL and he thinks he's NHL ready. McGroarty is not a damaged person from what I know, quite the opposite. Either way, when you trade for him with the guarantee that he'll sign a contract, go to training camp and play preseason games. Maybe if McGroarty and the team see that he's not ready yet he'll play in the AHL for a while under a coach he knows and he's also clearly aware that the Sabres have been doing a good job of developing young players in recent years. On the other hand, I think if Adams can get him, he immediately seems like our closest NHL-ready prospect given his skill set. I think he could very well start on the third line with the new 3C and Benson/Greenway.

And in a reply he says it’s not Dylan Strome.
On the RMcG front, I would prefer to use picks and prospects on non-prospects that are proven at the NHL level.

Well, obviously, he's their only decent center.And in a reply he says it’s not Dylan Strome.

I think McGroarty is too good for us to at least not kick the tires. And he looks NHL-ready.
if what the rumors are true, I’m not touching McGroaty at all. If he’s not going to sign if he isn’t gifted playing time….im not giving him that deal either. It was dumb when we did it for Mittelstadt, it was dumb when we did it for Levi.

The Sabres do not need more young, inexperienced players on this roster. Spending trade assets, or swapping a prospect with a different skill set for him, is not what they need to be prioritizing this offseason.
Trading Rosen or Savoie or 11OV for RMcG could mean that they do not have the assets to add a specific veteran player that they need more because the other GM wants what they no longer have.
I just do not believe this is the offseason for the Sabres to be looking into a deal like this. Plus, if McG doesn’t want to go to Winnipeg, what are the odds he’d want to sign in Buffalo?
