Thread: Caps being Caps

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greysuits</b></div><div>No, Dahlin plays on the right side, Joki is a RD and so is Clifton. Power can also play on the right if needed. Also there are better RD options (UFA) that they could get and not give away the only power forward prospect they have in their system.</div></div>

Solid!

He plays either side but the d-corps structure has put him mostly on the right side.

Thread: Caps being Caps

I always thought of TVR as more of a third-pairing d-man. Although he does have a steady, defensive oriented game, the Sabres are very high on Wahlberg at this time as his combination size, skill and fearless approach to the dirty, goal-scoring areas of the ice make him somewhat of a rarity in the organization.

The time to get Sam Bennett was three years ago when he was relegated to bottom-6/fourth line duties in Calgary.

Thread: Ranking of 3Cs Id like to see the Sabres go after for next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>If these are the options, I'd add several million and lock up lindholm. Could always move cozens to 3c. Domi and Monahan were never known for their defense, I thought Laughton had an awful year with advanced stats. Might as well find somebody to compliment Thompson and cozens, that'd be a center that's above average defensively</div></div>

Stephenson is the guy I'd really pursue (overpay). But I am a Lindholm fan and would welcome him to Buffalo on an overpayment.

A bottom-six Laughton (13+26) traded for a fourth-line Krebs (4+13) is an upgrade. The Sabres need upgrades.

Thread: Another Idea for the Rebuild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>I agree, and with an extension worked out, this deal would work. You guys are sorely lacking the culture that TK and Laughts would immediately bring and nurture. Need guys like that, and although SL had an underwhelming season, he really did get back on track after the deadline, he can play anywhere in the lineup, and is a very dependable player for his cap hit.</div></div>

I like Laughton in a 3C role, but there are many in Sabreland who scoff at the notion and would prefer to go after Cates. Not sure the Fly-boys would trade Laughton's replacement.

Thread: Another Idea for the Rebuild

I'll take that Atkinson deal. He would be perfect for the third-line wing as an insurance policy should Kulich have trouble as a rookie.

Always liked his style. He has lots of compete and quickness has no fear or hesitation and I believe he'll be able to build upon last season when he came back from injury.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smithcd995</b></div><div>Way too much for the sabres to pay. They can win most bidding wars but idk why they'd want to for konecny.</div></div>

Konecny has that competitiveness that the Sabres lack. And he's got top-six skill too.

However, he'd be considered a rental with only one year left on his deal and at 27 yrs. old, he'll probably be looking to cash in on a big-money, long-term deal. I don't think the Sabres will do that for a winger.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I would be fine with that, but I'd want him on an upgraded 4th line, I just don't think the Sabres can go into next season with Krebs being our best option at 3c. I think that 3c job is begging for a vet defensive center. I do agree, moving him for a second doesn't help us at all, and the gm that held out for him in the eichel trade, isn't gonna wanna sell him for scraps.</div></div>

Barring a trade like Greysuits laid out, I can see a long evaluation under Lindy this year.

Thread: This could get interesting

I was just informed by a Pens fan that Accari is needed in Pittsburgh and isn't likely to be traded but if he were to be moved, a 5th would be too low.

Thread: HEY HO SABRES NEXT SEASON close to FINAL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Well for one, Acciari can fetch more than a 5th. More importantly, he plays a role that the PIT roster needs, and he does it well. Great penalty killing and physicality. He’ll only be better with more speed on his line this year, as opposed to Jeff Carter’s stone skates. $2 million is fair for what he provides, and it’s not like we need to create cap space. We’ll hang onto him.</div></div>

Fair points.

I can see them re-signing Joker and if that happens, I can't see them doing anything of significance to the d-corps.

Not that bad. He'll be 33 or so at the end of it. Although $6M+ for him is high, he checks the boxes.

Contracts a bit long and a little heavy on the AAV, but that 3C spot in the Sabres lineup will be locked down for a long time with a quality player.

That's a trade worthy of serious consideration. Cirelli is an ideal center to add to the Sabres and Jeannot adds that edge in the bottom six.

I'm in

Edit: if Buffalo could land Stephenson on those terms, scrap the Cirelli trade and keep Kulich + the 11th overall.

Thread: next year new 3C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUF10</b></div><div>Mittelstadt is a lot better. They don’t want a long term commitment to another center until one of Kulich/Savoie or östlund become full time NHL players.</div></div>

Mitts is better but in the grand scheme of things, Kyv wasn't going to pay him $6.5 M give or take to be a mid-six/top-6 forward that can play top-line in a pinch.

Am of the opinion that unless something weird or devastating happens, KAGM and Lindy will be riding Tage and Cozens as their Nos. 1&2 C's leaving a clear need at 3C.

There's a ton of fear emanating from Sabreland that's based upon an impending cap-ceiling problem. Which is legit.

Colton is a 3C that's $2.5M less than Mitts and servers that role well for not only the price, but also for what they need.
