Team: 2024-25 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 9, 2024
Published: Feb. 12, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Following up from the TDL post. Basic objectives would be to add depth scoring and fix the Right side on Defense. Guessed on some of the values here. Figured Iafallo is a good buy low target and Sturm/Kubel are solid defensive 4th line forwards. Clifton may appeal to CGY to replace the UFA defenseman they lose but he could go anywhere. Borgen may be more expensive but he would be a great target to solidify the back line. Depth guys are just options. Keep Levi/kids in Rochester it’s time to let the big club mature.

-Draft picks don't have to be these years. Realized that's an unrealistic amount of picks in 2025

No prospect is untouchable but why? He's 19-20 yrs old and hasn't dominated to the level Quinn/JJP did. Sabres can't afford to ease in a rookie when they eventually hit a wall at some point in the season. Need balanced scoring. Same wall happened with Quinn, Peterka last year and Benson this year. I'd definitely listen if someone offered a solid RHD though

Dont think the Jets will move Iafallo for so little. Kraken might do that if they really like jokiharju or think they can sign him for cheaper than his QO.

You've spent way too much though. They're going to take a hit in season ticket sales after this season and that's going to be reflected in their budget.

Flames aren’t trading good picks for guys they don’t need. Especially to give free cap space to another team.

These trades all favour Buffalo. No shot Seattle makes that trade, Borgen is miles better than Jokiharju. Iafallo is worth much more than that as well. I could go on but will abstain
