Description

Trade for the captain that they scratched down the stretch.
(Russian prospects included for their Michkov push.)
Trade for the hometown guy who they scratched.
(What's the value- NHL 4th Liner + pick for bottom 6 scorer)
Rebuilt 3rd line with a Selke candidate.

Beginning to build hope of Skinner back on L1 to the 22-23 level of scoring.

Smith - pure energy.
Heinen - scratched in playoffs after a good year.
Murray - we hope can come along like Brazeau or Dakota Joshua - big freak who can skate.

Far too much for Couturier. Only way I'm interested in him is with at least 1/4 retention

He's 31, not quite 8Mil and yes 3rd Line Center is arguably a high position of need.

Does the youngest team in the league need to get younger?

He’s declined, beaten up, and under contract till he’s 38
Sorry dude, but it’s a HORRIBLE idea
Even if they held half- i wouldn’t want him for free

And if u already know he won’t waive, then what was the point u we’re trying to get across w this ACGM???

What is the point of any of these interactive gm's? To get opinions of worth if he does somehow waive.

Last year understand he was off a off-season surgery, now should be a year removed and healthy. He's still one of the better 2 way centers in the league.

Couturier has everything the Sabres need, and he may want out of his situation because of how they treated him. If they stay young, the playoffs are 2-3 years away.

He is 32 when season starts, still has 6 yrs left. At his cap hit is bigger than 1C and 2C
