Wow, why are we getting bent out of shape about a rumor about a guy who would rather play in Ottawa than Carolina because of $$.

I rather make some good scratch and be on a winning team.

I fully agree.

So, let's look at the Buffalo Sabres roster and see how Pesce's name is being linked to trade rumors. Not hard to figure the first name that pops up:

Yeah, I'd take Victor Olofsson. In his 4 full seasons with the Sabres, he's put up 42, 32, 49 and 40 points. Don't know is this is the rumor, but Pesce is considered a top 15 defender in the league and Olofsson is a UFA after this coming season. A little strange given the Sabres have enough cap space to extend him now, but nothing has happened?

No. No trading Pesce. If you are going to do it. Do it at the deadline.

I’d want Peterka, he’s a young roster player with a good amount of potential. If we’re trading Pesce then I want someone coming back with term because I assume that if dealt, Pesce will be going to a team that he’ll extend with. An extended Pesce is worth a player with term.

LMAO. That contract could be brutal in just two years time. Guys that play like Wilson just don’t last until they are 37.

feels like the Dwill/CJ contracts for Hurney where we outbid ourselves. Wilson's contract was 5.2 AAV---who were they bidding against to give him that kind of raise at that term? absolutely nuts.

 

I'd take Tuch from the Sabres too.

Tuch would be my preference, not sure they’d trade him though.

Tuch is under contract for another 3 years with a NTC. Wasn't he wearing an "A" last season?

The reason I brought up Olofsson is because he hasn't been extended and Buffalo obviously has the money to do it. So, without a NTC, Buffalo's need for a top 4 blue-liner to likely replace a 35-year old Erik Johnson, and Buffalo needs to send a couple guys down as they're over the roster limit. The Sabres have 24 guys on the roster and still have over $6M in cap space.

No doubt in my mind the Canes would extend Olofsson.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
