This is so strange right now.  The season should be starting right now, but instead we have the draft this week.  Has the CHL said anything yet about their plans on when they'll play?  I'm still trying to figure out how that will factor into the transfer agreement and guys like Cozens and any potential pick this year being able to play in the NHL.

supposedly the Sabres have something interest in Nick Schmaltz from Arizona.

SABRES CENTRES

Speaking of Arizona, word is that Buffalo likes Coyotes centre Nick Schmaltz, who is signed for six more years at $5.85 million per.

Remember that the Sabres acquired Eric Staal last month to help shore themselves up down the middle.

There’s been a wild rumour that Buffalo asked the Rangers for the first overall pick and two young players for Jack Eichel, but we’re getting a lot of “things got nowhere near close to that” in response.

With Eichel’s 75 per cent bonus paid, it makes little sense for Buffalo to do it, and while I do believe the Rangers like the centre, I don’t believe they would do this.

 


Im ok with Schmaltz depending on the price. We need competent centers, but I’m not super high on him. He’s only broke 20 goals once. I think he’s ideally more of a #3C and $5.85M seems like a lot for a 3C. But he’s only 24 so I guess there’s still room for growth. 
 

It makes me nervous that Adams even talked about what he’d want in an Eichel deal. Eichel should be untouchable.

 

If they actually do trade him, I honestly might have to re-evaluate whether I’d want to continue being a sabres fan (though I’m not sure I could stop being a fan even if I wanted to...lol). I don’t see how you could win an Eichel trade. LaFreniere is nice and all, but he’s no Eichel. Those 2 young players better have been the NYR’s best 2 young players. You can’t trade Eichel unless it’s in a trade that legitimately makes the Sabres better and I’m not sure how you do that. Subtracting Eichel from this roster would be ugly AF.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new NHL season starts as late as some time in January, 2021.

was a bit surprised by this at first, but it’s only $400k over his qualifying offer. If he turns into a legit top 6-9 player in years 2 and 3 it could be a bit of a bargain.
Seeing this deal I’m guessing he’s likely penciled into the lineup Buffalo this season. 


could Reinhart be trade bait?

I love Sam but I think he 100% should be on the table. Probably anyone not named Jack Eichel, Rasmus Dahlin, over Victor Olofsson should be available

I feel like I've heard the league (or maybe it was TSN) state that as a target date, but I could very well be making that up.  That timeline makes sense.

Jack Quinn. I had a feeling we would draft this kid when I read his back story.
 

Let’s hope he turns into a player for us!

This draft coverage is a bit ridiculous. The panel’s “speculation” on the pick is always right. They need to stop pretending they don’t already know who the pick is.

Welcome, Jack Q!

Yikes ventured over to Sabre Space and apparently Quinn is “wrong Josh”...


Yeah full meltdown over there. I like the pick personally

Wanted Rossi who was the "right" Josh over there, but I don't see how you can hate on this pick. RW is certainly a position of need.

I know even less about hockey prospects than I do football. Hope he ends up good but, yeah, the natives are restless.
