This guy knows his stuff. Wow!
Riley is the man
You are not getting knies for Byram straight up. that is deeply unserious. Ryley you're delusional about Knies value
RIP Krebs
Your Winnipeg trade is also delusional. Goalie trades bring low is not 3x Vezina, hart, 2x Jennings level goalies.
And Byram is not extending in Winnipeg.
I donāt understand why Byram wouldnāt want to stay on Buffalo. He rather go to a team with no chance to win a cup so he can maybe be a top 1 D man?
I just started this video; but itās disingenuous to not have Benson, Krebs and Mals in that roster.
Tuch is probably gone but Benson? No way
how can you be a sabres fan and just blatently ignore metsa and mrtka as top 6 dmen
You want arguably the best goalie in the league in Hellebuyck and a top 6/9 crazy fast young C/W in Lambert for a backup goalie, a d that you don't even care about having, Kulich (not even worth throwing in) and a 20A???? NOT EVEN CLOSE! The Jets need a REAL #2 C and a top 10 pick. Look at the most popular offer going around for Helly. Lundell and FLA's 9OA pick. Now, try again and much harder.
Lmmfao, who drew up these lines š
Birum and 2 first leafs would want more for knies
Kulich's blood clot was due to NHL forcing all their players to get the BS covid vax guaranteed. As far as Sabres roster, #1 Greenway needs to go. #2 trade Power and get rid of his contract and he should bring a good return. Im not trading Kulich, Ostlund or Heleius. I can part with Quinn no problem & i could also part with McLeod just because of the log jam at center and his $5 mil avv. Zucker only has 1 more year on his contract so he will be done after that. Between Power and Greenway alone you would save $12.35 mil a year.
Trochek to the Sabres š why. That makes zero sense. You guys are on drugs.
Who the eff wants a 30+ year ild goalie at $8.5 mil avv. No thx
How about Power, Levi, & 20th pick for Helly
Johnny I think we could do Carlo and Cowboy for Mateychuk. Then Leafs 2027 1st (Colorado) for Zelwegger.
La will give Trevor Moore, your pick of 1 of our prospects and a second round pick for Bowen Byram
Knies is an absolute stud. It would be stupid to get rid of him.
Get rid of matthews.
About to see the first overpay signing with raddysh going to toronto in a sign and trade per friedge
Theres no tuffness on the team
