The Sabres making a couple of moves over the last couple of days with their restricted free agents today. We’ll break down one by one the three remaining RFAS of note for the Sabres. Two of which have filed for arbitration in Boram. And then also Connor Timonss, excuse me, the Sabres filed for arbitration with Byum. Timonss did with the Sabres. And then Devin Levi is sitting there right now as an RFA as well. Alex Lion had some comments yesterday meeting with the media that have me thinking about Levi a little bit more in a crazy poll from a couple years ago that I found from my Twitter. So, lot to get to on today’s show as we continue to wait for a Byum trade. That really is the game right now. following the Sabres and being a Saber fan right now is looking at your watch and just waiting as the seconds tick off when we are going to get a Bum trade assuming we do or resolution on the contract. Now, the Sabres making this move. I do like what they did here. I think you’re seeing a lot of people talk about the downside of this contract with the Sabres, but to me, I don’t really see any downside for the Buffalo Sabres, assuming they do not want a long long-term contract with the player, which I don’t believe they do, and I don’t think anybody else believes that they do right now. So, I’ll explain why I don’t really think there’s any downside to what the Buffalo Sabres really did here by filing for arbitration. So, when they do that, they are really what they are accomplishing in my mind and by the rules is they are eliminating any possibility of an offer sheet from another team. And there were rumors, there were reports that another team had been looking at Byum and considering the possibility of an offer sheet. Well, that never came to fruition, but maybe in part because the Sabres got ahead of it and said, “Well, if we can’t find a trade and this offer sheet threat is out there, similar to with Carolina and the New York Rangers, the Hurricanes had threatened the Rangers with an offer sheet of Keandre Miller kind of pushing the Rangers into a trade and they figured out a trade sending Miller to Carolina.” Now, the Sabres did not get backed into that corner. Instead, they waited and were able to get through to this past weekend without anyone offering Byum because then they’re able to file for arbitration. And what that does for the Sabres is it does get rid of the possibility of an offer sheet. Nobody can do it now. Nobody can offer sheet Boyum. That is done the moment you file for arbitration. So that is a point of leverage that Byum and his agent would have had. That is also a point of leverage that other teams would have had over the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres get rid of both of those layers of leverage with this one single move. The downside being described as well what you’re doing now though is walking him to unrestricted free agency because he has two years left. And when you file for arbitration, the player gets to decide the term. He gets to decide if it’s a one-year deal or if it’s a two-year deal. And everyone’s like, “Well, Byum now can file or for a two-year deal.” And then the arbitrator decides the money that walks into unrestricted free agency. But listen, the Sabres, I don’t think have any intent in the first place on letting it get that far. The odds of Bo Byum still being on the roster in July of 2027 when he would be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time to me are slim to none. The Sabres are going to trade this player one way or another at some point in time. The only question is when. Will it happen now? Will it happen next month? Will it happen in the fall? Will it happen at the trade deadline or will it happen next year at in the summer before the draft at free agency? How about the trade deadline after that? The Savers have like five different opportunities to trade the player before they would lose him for nothing. They’ve got a lot of time here and I don’t think they have to worry about walking a player to UFA status that they are intent on trading. If they were intent on paying the guy a long-term deal, well then I would understand why this is not maybe not the smartest move, but they don’t want to keep the player long term. If the player if Byron comes out this year and he’s dominant and he is a top pair defenseman, even without Dene, he’s thriving without Diene. He’s putting up points and it looks undeniable. The numbers look good, the advanced numbers look good, and everything is like, “Oh, Boham’s finally figured it out. He’s not just a good defenseman with Rasmus Dalene. He’s like a top top defenseman in the NHL. If he does that, then you might have a situation on your hands. But I don’t tend to think that Byum has that in him. I think that with Dalene, he might be able to do something like that, but without Dene, he would not. And for me, that kind of just right there is already the thing we know about Bo Byum. So, I don’t really think that there is downside to this. We don’t know when exactly he’s going to be meeting with the arbitrator when the sabers will as well. That should happen at the end of July or at the beginning of August. So my expectation is that Byum will get a pretty healthy number. Somewhere in the six to seven range would be my qu would be my guess. I also don’t want to assume everyone flipping out about well two-year deal he could walk to on UFA status. I’m not sure he will do that because if Byum thinks he’s getting traded and he would like he’s open to signing a long-term deal with whoever his next team is. Say that’s Calgary. Calgary is rumored to be interested and they’re Western Canada around where Byum is from. Byum’s from the Vancouver area. So you’re a lot closer to home in Calgary. They have Mackenzie Waguer there who is a great defenseman, but if he’s looking for that power play role, that top two defenseman role, I think he’s got that sitting there for him in Calgary. Uh it depends if they would see him as being their number one power play defenseman over Mackenzie Weaguer and if they would be willing to move off of Rasmus Anderson, which uh more and more it sounds like they are trying to move Rasmus Anderson. So that would be a good spot for him. Well, if he agrees and likes the idea of staying there long term, if he signs a two-year deal, he’s not eligible to sign an extension for another year. Whereas, if he were to do the one-year deal in arbitration and then the Sabres trade him, he would be, I believe, eligible to sign an extension right away with the opposing team. But I would bet that both sides would like to have this done before they reach arbitration. I would predict that the trade does come before that last week of July. So I think in the next two weeks we are going to have a deal for Byum to somewhere. And right now I would bet on Calgary. There was a St. Louis rumor the other day. Problem now with the Blues as a team. If you’re looking at what they have to offer, I I want Jordan Kyu. And the problem is his trade protection, no movement clause, kicked in on July 1st, so you waited too long. You could have maybe got that done um before that that happened. I mean, you could try to get him to wave his no movement clause, but I don’t know I don’t know how likely you are to get that. Jake Neighbors is another player that I see referenced a lot. 23-year-old winger, left winger that could replace JJ Purka. He has scored uh 20 third, excuse me, 49 goals in the last two years, which is very similar to uh to Purka was a late first round pick in 2020. So Jake Neighbors is an idea for Bo Byron. Um on the Calgary side of things, I saw Rasmus Anderson trade rumors. I don’t think you you want to do that in exchange for Byum. I think you’ll be looking for a scoring winger, not an expiring contract defenseman. Um, Connor Zerry is a name there in Calgary that comes up a lot. Zeri though only 27 goals in his last two seasons combined, but he’s still a young player, 23 years old, was a first round pick. Actually went two picks before Jake Neighbors of uh St. Louis. And there is, I think, a good reason to believe that he’s got more in him offensively. Uh, I would predict that he has more in him offensively if you just look at some of the numbers. Um, beyond that, the problem with Calgary is Calgary is old and they’ve got a lot of players with trade protection. Like Nazam Cadri would be a very intriguing name to talk about because he is older, 34 years old and still very productive. 35 goals last season for the Calgary Flames. He’s got that tough to play against part of his game that the Sabres of course are looking for right now. But Kadri hasn’t full no movement clause. Next year he has a 13 team no trade list, but for now Kadri would have to be all in on joining you if you were going to get him back in a deal. Joel Farabby, formerly of the Flyers, we had talked about him when he was in Philadelphia, is there in Calgary, and he has no trade protection, but they just acquired him. So, I don’t know why they would be ready to spin him that quickly. Uh they got him at the deadline, I think, 31 games last year, only six points, by the way, for Calgary. So, it didn’t go particularly well when he when he got there. Uh maybe they’d be looking to dump him this quickly after that, but there’s really not Oh, the one other name, sorry, one one other name that I did want to mention from Calgary, if that were to be the team, is uh Morgan Frost. Morgan Frost, also formerly of the Philadelphia Flyers, also a player that I’ve talked about in this show going back probably about a year, little maybe more than a year. He had 12 points in 32 games after getting dealt to Calgary last year. and he’s a center, so he could either move to the wing or somebody else could move to the wing. Um, he’s a player I’ve liked since the beginning of his career. It hasn’t really all come together for him just statistically, so that’s been a little bit of a let down. He’s put up 40 points twice. I think you’d want last year he only put up 37. So, you would want a little bit more out of him. Um, but I still feel like there’s a good player in there. He’s 26. That’s the problem. you kind of feel like there’s not much more upside. Like this is it. This is who he is. But I think he’s a pretty good player. So Frost and stuff could be a part of it. There’s not a ton exciting about the Calgary offer. Um Matt Coronado, one other name. I think I like the idea of the St. Louis trade more and uh Jake Neighbors would be the name that I would be looking at if I were the Buffalo Sabres. When we come back, Devin Levi is an RFA. Any drama on that front? There might be that when we come back. Today’s episode presented by FanDuel Sportsbooks. Summer Sports are in full swing.

Sneaky Jody Biosi back here on the Lockdown Sabres podcast. Some RFA chatter with the Sabres. They still have uh three big contracts to do really. I mean, it’s one big contract and then two uh smaller deals with um Devin Levi and Connor Timonss. Sabres, by the way, let me look in their depths of their organization. They don’t even really have an RFA. They have a couple of UFA guys in Rochester, but nobody else that’s a restricted free agent at the prospect level. Um, when it comes to Devin Levi was talking about Devin Levi this morning on my show on WGR Sports Radio 550 and he came up because I found an old poll that I had posted on Twitter in June of 2023. So, this is this is right after the Sabres missed the playoffs by one point, and Devin Levi had showed up for seven games, looked great, and everybody believed that he was going to ride into the season as their starting goalie, which by the way, he did. He started night one in the first couple of games for the Sabres that year. And I asked the question on June 8th of 2023 at 6:26 in the morning, would you trade Devin Levi straight up for Connor Halabuk on a long-term extension? And out of 8,800 votes, 86.6% said no, that they would not do that. It’s looking back hindsight’s 2020. It’s an incredible poll to look back at and see the results of because it it tells the story of two different things. One, how confident we were the Sabres were on the right track. Two, how much hype there was about Devin Levi and how good we really thought he was going to be. And three, I I guess Halabuk Halabuk though is the best goalie in the world and he was going in the final year of his deal. But even for the question, I gave you the long-term extension and 86.6% still said uh still said no to that. So, you know, yes, looking back, it almost seems idiotic to think that anybody ever would have passed on the best goalie in the world for Devin Levi, who Listen, that’s that’s the question right now. This is why I kind of bring it up because Levi needs a contract. And I there’s two there’s two parts of me right now thinking about Levi. two different layers of conversation. One is what how what his trajectory is right now, how likely he still is to reach the hype, the profile that we once thought of him for and maybe still do. And two, what does he think of this whole contract situation? I’m not sure he’s earned this, which is why his feelings could be a lot different. But the worstkept secret during that spring run in 2023 when the Sabres are in the playoff race and it is evident they just need saves. Craig Anderson is limping around at 40 years old. He’s trying to play games for them, but he doesn’t really have the body to play more than one game a week. And the combination of Lucin and Comry was really letting them down. They needed a goalie. They needed to acquire a goalie at the deadline that could play games for them down the stretch. and they did not do it with a huge reason being that they were afraid that if they traded for a goalender that it was it was going to sway Devin Levi to return to school, play out his college career, and end up going somewhere else in unrestricted free agency at the end of his college career. That was the fear. So, they didn’t do it. They didn’t acquire a goalie. Levi showed up, but by then it was too late. They missed the playoffs. And to me, it’s one of the biggest mistakes that any Sabres GM has made in the whole drought is Kevin Adams that spring deciding not to acquire a goalender. That was a playoff team that just needed a few more saves and they would have been in the playoffs and the drought would be over. But instead, they were afraid of losing their college goalender. And I get it, he had a great career. He was playing at a historically great level. The Sabres believed, and I think looking back now, this part was wrong. He could still be a great goalender. They believed he was different. They believed he was special in his timeline. Most goalenders, almost all goalenders ever, do not arrive as day-to-day NHL goalenders, especially starters, until they are 24, 25, 26 years old. Sometimes Levi was 21 when they were going through that. It was always unlikely that he was going to be able to arrive and be that good that quickly. Now I’ve got a goalie that is uh for three seasons now the Sabres have built their net around Levi. That year they missed the playoffs by one point. They didn’t add to it because they they knew he was coming. The next year he’s their starter. He walks into the season as their starting goalender right and they end up lucking into a good Lucan season because remember Comry was the number two. He got the next crack at it when Levi got injured early on and then it was Lucin. So they lock into Lucin, Levi goes down, but they had built their net around Levi that season. Last year they kind of built their net around Levi being the number two behind Lucin and that’s how the season began. The Sabres even waved James Rhymer. Remember that they waved James Rhymer. they were lucky to get him back because the Ducks had replaced him on waiverss weeks later. Sabres reacquire him and then they end up sending Levi down after that happened. Now maybe they acquire a goalie anyway, but there was that beginning of last season they thought Levi was going to be the the 1B to Lucin. Only this year have they finally thrown a roadblock in front of Devin Levi. Like a real true roadblock cuz they waved Rhyr and Eric Comry wasn’t like a real roadblock. This is a roadblock. And with Alex Lion who spoke to the media yesterday had some good comments about how maybe in the past he always hasn’t been great to his goalie partner in the room because he’s competing with that guy, right? He’s competing for starts, competing for minutes. And now he’s much more he’s taking more of an approach of maybe he started doing this last year an approach of everybody’s got to support everybody in that room as a unit. So when Lion says that I’m thinking about Levi but I’m also thinking about Lion just being here because Lion on a two-year deal I think is right now the best goalie that they have. So Lucan’s paid too the there’s a block in front of Levi. I don’t think he has earned this right to flex any muscles in his contract negotiations with the Sabres and try to get somewhere that would give him an NHL job right now because again I don’t really think he has earned an NHL job right now. But I do wonder if he’s thinking about it because if three years ago he was already thinking, I only want to sign in Buffalo if I’ve got a clear path to the NHL and if they don’t have that, I’ll go and I’ll go develop in someone else’s system. Does he have the same attitude right now? Is he thinking? I hope not because I still think that I still think he’s going to become a good NHL goalender. I really do. But I’m not sure about it. Does he think right now if I’m going to be back in the AHL? And if I’m not if it’s not going to be made easy for me in Buffalo to be in the NHL, then I would like to go play in a different system because I kind of feel like that’s what would have happened had they taken that approach with him a couple years back. What he you But the problem with for him on that and this is why I don’t really think he’ll go down that road is I don’t know what kind of leverage he has. I don’t think he has really much of a leg to stand on. He is waivers exempt because of the number of games he’s played. Uh, sorry, not waivers exempt. I believe he is offer sheet exempt. Um, so either way, restricted free agent. Maybe he can be offer sheetated. I’m not sure. I thought I saw the other day that he he’s not arbitration eligible. Maybe that’s all it is. Um, so he can’t file for arbitration. I don’t know if he could be offer sheetated. Uh, maybe a team would come calling with that that wants to make him their number two goalie and try to poach him from the uh from the Buffalo Sabres. To me, Levi, I’d love to see him to show up at camp and kind of earn a spot and then the Sabres maybe move off of Lucin. I would love to see that happen. Um, and then play well in the regular season, but I don’t think the Sabres can wait around any longer for Devin Levi. And I’m glad to see they finally learned that lesson because they hadn’t they had not approached it that way for three years. But this year, this year now they are uh now they’re eligible or now they finally figured it out. When we come back, quick word on Connor Timonss who is also filing for arbitration. Um and kind of what the value might be there, what that contract might look like and where the Savers cap will be at the end of it when we come back here on Lockdown Savers.

Um on our next show, I want to talk about a trade idea I have with uh with Pittsburgh. Connor Timmons, who the Sabres acquired from Pittsburgh, filed for arbitration. Weird one because Connor Timonss, 26 years old, restricted free agent, 6’2, offensive defenseman. Talked a little bit about him after the draft. I like this move. I think he’s a better player than than Connor Clifton, who they acquired for him. But what does he think he’s going to get? What does he think he’s going to get from an arbitrator? He Last year he set a careerh high with 15 points in 68 games. Um, now he did have 10 points. Actually, if you combine the two previous seasons, Timmons in only 52 games had 24 points. That’s better. That is more more points per 60 minutes, more offense. Um, and that’s what he’s more supposed to be as an offensive defenseman. But this was his first full season in the NHL at 26 years old. So, what is he going to get? Couple of million bucks can’t be much. I I doubt it can be much at all. This is one where I would fully expect the Sabres and Timmans to come to an agreement before they get to arbitration. I just don’t think the player is worth enough that you’d be you’d be penny pinching back and forth if you were unable to get a deal done. Um, so looking at looking at Timonss right now, his contract I bet comes in at about 1 and a.5 million bucks. That’d be my guess. When that happens, the Sabres will have about 11 million, 11.5ish, uh, maybe even as much as 12 left in cap space. That’s where they’ll be sitting. Now, after they sign Timonss, after they sign Levi, then maybe they’re around 10 and then all that left is for your buyer trade or for your Broom contract. And you’ve got plenty of room to do that. One thing that I want to say about the Sabres right now after these three deals end up being done, they are not alone in not spending to the cap this year. It’s very strange to me to see how many teams are so far below the cap. And I think there’s only one real explanation for that. It is teams the cap went up, but teams didn’t adjust their player valuation. And you have a lot of long-term contracts in the NHL. So when the cap goes up, it’s very unlike the NFL. The NFL where you can renegotiate at any time. you can um you can get cut at any time you where your long-term deals are really more like your five-year deal in the NFL is really like a two-year deal. It’s very different. So, when the cap goes up, those players have more leverage, have leverage at all to get out of their contract, renegotiate, demand more. They get a bigger piece of the pie. Here, all NHL players are fully contracts are fully guaranteed and they are locked in until you either get bought out or you retire. That’s it. Um, so you can’t have Sydney Crosby renegotiating right now because the cap went up. You can’t have, you know, McDavid right now can get more money for next year, but he can’t for this season. His cap hit is locked in for this season, no matter what. And to me, there just wasn’t enough good players in free agency to fill in all that money. There is hundreds of millions of dollars I believe right now in the next two years of unspent cap dollars. Alan Walsh Perk’s agent was tweeting about this. And right now 28 million in space for the Ducks, 23 million for the Sharks, 22 million for the Blackhawks, 19 million for the Jets, 16 million for the Blue Jackets, 15 million for Pittsburgh, 15 for Calgary, 13 for Buffalo, 12 for Detroit, 11 for Seattle, 10 for Carolina. That’s a that’s a Stanley Cup contender. They s they signed the biggest free agent in Nikolai Eers still 10 million left over. Minnesota 10 million. Nashville 10 million. Um Utah, LA, New Jersey all at six. I mean half the league is at 6 million or more in cap space. That’s a good player that you’re leaving on the table, but there’s no player available like that. So really at the end of it, I think this is going to be I I I don’t want to absolve them. This is not me absolving them of not spending because to me it is unacceptable and it is unforgivable that the Buffalo Sabres in the last five years have left as many cap dollars on the table as they have. They would have broke the playoff drought and they spent it’s like 50 million in unspent cap dollars. They they would have made the playoffs if they had really leaned in and put the money into it. So I don’t want to absolve them of that. I will say though at the end of this Byum situation, if they bring back a player of comparable value moneywise to Byum or they just sign him and they go to arbitration, he gets 6 million bucks, the Sabres are going to have less cap space than about half the league. Right now, if you say, let’s say, I’ll be conservative on these numbers. Let’s go. One and a half for Timonss, 1 million for Levi. That’s two and a half million. Brings you down to about 11. And then 6 million for Byum. 6 million I think is low for Byum. That would leave you with $5 million in space, which is less space than every team I just mentioned. Utah, LA, New Jersey, Nashville, Minnesota, Carolina, Seattle, Detroit, Calgary, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Winnipeg, Chicago, San Jose, and Anaheim. They’re gonna It’s kind of weird that they’re going to end up spending more money this year, get closer to the cap, and not really put in, to our eyes, much of an investment to get better. It depends what they get back for Byum. Maybe they won’t get a player back of comparable value. The player that I mentioned from St. Lewis that I’d like to see them acquire. Jake Neighbors, uh Jake Neighbors makes $3.75 million per year. Then you’re sitting with 8 million 9 million left and you’re, you know, you’re right around where a lot of those other teams are. So, their cap books are going to maybe be a little bit higher than I think most are expecting once we get resolution on a uh on a buyer trade. All right. Uh, next up on our show, I want to talk about the Penguins because I’ve got a trade idea that a buddy texted me about with Pittsburgh and any trade ideas that you’ve got left out there. Uh, be sure to text them in, tweet them in. We’ll have a bit of a mailbag show on our next episode. So, come back for that and enjoy the good weather and we’ll talk next time here on the Lockdown Savers podcast. Be sure to check out Lockdown NHL for all the insights on the new CBA that was signed. We’ll talk about that on this show as well later in the week. But if you want full deep dive into the CBA, lockdown NHL’s got you covered. You can check them out wherever you get your podcasts. Talk to you next time here on Lockdown Savers, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

The Buffalo Sabres opt to take defenseman Bowen Byram to arbitration, which eliminates the possibility of an offer-sheet. Was this the right call? With the decision, Byram gets the chance to choose a two-year deal, which would take him to unrestricted free agency. Sneaky Joe explains why he does not believe that there is much downside for the Sabres making this call.

Plus, with Devon Levi being a restricted free agent and the Sabres signing Alex Lyon, is it an automatic that Levi and the Sabres will come to an easy agreement on a new contract? And what Conor Timmins could stand to make as he takes the Sabres to arbitration.
