Nice shirt 🦈. Wore mine earlier this week
Walman plus SJ 1st for Byram and Buffalo 1st?
I know Kevin Adams is stupid but he is going to give up Byram when he dealt Mittelstadt for him? (The Sabres and Sharks are my favorite teams.) I don’t see it. Kevin Adams is all in with the team he assembled. If he blows it up after the hell he put Sabre fan in (trading Cozens and Byram this late in the now unredeemable season), or in Sabre tradition they continue to suck, Adams won’t work in the league again.
Sharks should grab both Byram and Dobson if theyre both even remotely available. That d-corps would be drastically improved
Not sure bout a 7 yr commitment to a guy you who's had injury/concussion issues.
I like this trade idea a lot more than the Dobson trade. GMMG has been pretty good at jumping on teams who don’t manage their assets properly and Byram has stated he wants more opportunity.
Maybe Zetterlund, Ferraro and a first? You bring him in and he’s instantly your top Dman. Pair him with Wallmen on your top line, Draft Schafer and pair him with Liljergren and Let Thrun and Dickinson battle it out for Third pair. All the sudden your blue line isn’t looking too shabby.
Sharks need a better defense. JD's proposal dounds good. Schaefer if the Sharks can get him and Dickenson will need some years to gain experience. Getting two solid top defensemen woukd he a good move. Askarov and the forwards need help. The Sharks get bottled up in their own end too much.
Strange since the Sabres only acquired him March last year from Colorado. Bynum is only 23 so at the right price sure but I'm wondering why Buffalo is moving him
