 welcome back buffalo it is our time to draft number one overall so pretty much we're just gonna get straight into it there's not much really else to to show you guys we'll go through the draft class once again our picks gonna be old rich kuba leak man go on number one and an a plus league 49 games played 13 goals 15 assists he was a plus 13 amazing like a plus a plus a a plus a minus strengths puck protection goal scoring pro release no weaknesses 18 years of age 6 to power forward similar style to Owen Nolan he is NHL ready his scheme fit dump balance balance block overload he has heat seeker at three bars big tipper and bouncer are for sure wheels and shotgun all could be a thing so yeah I was thinking do we trade our first overall pick try to go for someone good I say we're gonna make this a prospect team we're gonna draft number one overall and then come free agency we do have some big contracts that we need to sign actually I was taking a look at this off a video we have a lot of contracts to be signed one being Victor Olufsen Owen power Casey middle stat Henry Yoki Haru paid in Krebs and that might be it so some big names on the list goal tenning wise UPL and Eric Armory need contracts as well so we got some homework to take care of and then once we see what our salary cap is that I think we go out and make some big moves in free agency to get this team ready for the season and ready to compete for a Stanley Cup so without further ado we're heading in to the draft we have the number one pick okay so Tori Krug is being shopped around by the Blues Connor Bedard one that okay so I just want to see what exactly we would get offered for our first overall pick no trades are found okay so no problem we're gonna take first overall like I said there's nothing really there's nothing much that I really want to do like sure it holds a lot of trade value but like there's no really big trades that I want to make so there's no wasting time pick number one will be old rich Kubelik welcome to the Buffalo Sabres franchise buddy all right so he's an elite medium we do not know his overall yet he has heat seeker at four bars bouncer at four bars big tipper at four shocking off for and wheels at four that is absolutely huge we don't know his overall rating none of that but he's NHL ready is what they were telling me that's a good draft pick okay so our next pick do we have anything else in the first round I think we have one more pick in the first round if I'm not mistaken yeah we have the 28th overall pick okay do we go out and try to get someone or do we get rid of that first overall pick so let's go look at the at the draft class one more time right let's look at everyone's rank who would we get at around 28 okay either is there anyone good right so we got Howard low not really liking what I'm seeing there Elliot not really liking what I'm seeing there this guy's a gem is what they're saying but again didn't really scout him too much but they're saying he's a gem elite medium Subaru at 35 could be something similar to Braden Hopi elite medium gold tender we could trade down and try to get the 35th overall I'm trying to see when we have a next pick like we can get him at 35th right so I think I think we are gonna make a trade for our second first round pick I don't think we're gonna really get anything so let's see what we can really get for it okay so we're gonna sim this pick Banes going to Minnesota we were looking at him as well he looks pretty good but I think our pick was better right so offer trade see if anyone is interested in this first overall pick okay from the Detroit Red Wings we got this one from so Chicago is interested in it who are they willing to give up and then a CU Bluger not really anyone that we're looking for so yeah we're gonna take a no a hard no on Chicago Detroit Joe Pavelsky two years left six point eight I've get any dad and off Verona we want someone young to come in Verona wouldn't be a bad choice but he's got a year left we got assigned him we got Fabry Jeff Skinner we don't want back okay so Detroit's probably a no-go LA Victor Arvidson he's probably got a year left we can try to go get him in free agency I don't see us trying to trade for him don't know where we're checking Minnesota they don't want much we all is interested they're not willing to give up anyone but camp Talbot we are not interested in that the Islanders Adam Pelick six years left we don't really need defensemen so that's the issue Josh Bailey is up there in age our Terry Leckinen four years of four and a half don't know how I feel about that contract and all honesty nothing there goal-tending no the San Jose sharks Ryan Ellis again not really looking for defensemen that are up there in age as well Seattle's interested Robert Hague again defensemen that we don't need Philip Grubauer not taking that contract on and other than that it doesn't look like anyone else is interested so maybe we just make that pick with our number one pick like I there's not no one that I really want to go out and get they're getting rid of Hyman he's probably got a year left you have five years left but he's 32 don't know how I feel about that yeah I think we just keep this first round pick like there's nothing that I really think would work Montreal is now willing to give up a whole lot of anything the teams that are interested in the pick don't seem to be interested like don't have anything interesting to give up we'll try to do the find the trade feature I don't think we're gonna find anything for it so I think we're just gonna pick at 28th overall alright so some options simp to pick 28 I just kind of want to see who went where Banes we had a lead medium like oh wow he looks like he could be something good a centerman who is a what's his build doesn't say am I blind I think I'm blind center though alright so no one overalls we have to fog of war so you know what for the next GM mode we are gonna turn off fog of war I'm gonna see if I could turn that off in general I don't like how we can't see the overalls just yet okay so we're gonna turn off fog of war right I'm learning with this franchise most stuff so I apologize for that boys okay so number 27 supposed to go 28 they're saying Howard low left-wing 6 to I mean he looks decent lightning doesn't look like anything too good a bunch of unknown so let's go here a lean medium we're looking at suit like this is the issue with this pic is like let me call a timeout we don't need this pic we don't we don't so you know what let's go make a trade maybe maybe we'll move down let's go to a team that's interested in this pic and we'll kind of move down right so we'll take their second overall pic they're willing to give that up we'll go down to 49 I'm good with that skaters matching the block I mean again there's just nothing that I'm really liking Craig Smith 34 year left don't know how much he's gonna want again he's up there in age as well Anthony see you 29 three years left not a fan of that contract so maybe not Chicago Detroit was a team that's interested they have a lot of players that they're trying to give up they don't want to get rid of their second so maybe give me your fourth and maybe we can get a first out of next year I don't think we maybe a now there's no way that goes through maybe a second for next year and a six for this year I don't think this goes through but we'll see okay it goes through so you know what I like that trade alright we get rid of our first we don't really need it okay we're getting a second round from Detroit so we have two second round picks next year which we're not gonna need picks it's something that we can offload at the trade deadline potentially and then we get a six round pick as well so you know what I'll take that I didn't really like who was there and I'm good with simming to our next pick because I think we're gonna get who we want let me just make sure that our goal tender that we were looking at did not go anywhere okay he did not beautiful I do want to see what we missed out on with low here okay so what did we miss out on not much man like we can't really tell I I don't think I can turn off fog of war so this kind of chalks it up but next GMO we will be turning off fog of war okay so we were looking at superf all right gold tender six four could be the gold tender of the future didn't have the greatest dots he played in an a-plus league though so I'm kind of willing to look the other way when it comes to that he's four years out other than that subev is our next guy if we look at the CS the CS ranking here Vobrov is a guy that's no one's really taken and he's supposed to be a gem now when's our next pick because I do want the subi off guy I don't think we have another second round pick unfortunately so we kind of just got to take a shot we don't really need a defenseman is the way I'm looking at it so I think we're gonna go subev alright so we're gonna take our chances with him and see what he's gonna turn into man elite medium gold tender could definitely be something alright so let's him to pick 66 we're into the third round here let's sort by here elite medium he's supposed to go 173 elite low could be something let's go back to the C the SC ranking top six forward medium bottom six forward medium a centerman didn't do too great you know let's go a rabbit we're to be rabbit and then we will go to pick 98 and that's where I'm gonna think I'm gonna go with those guys right here we were looking at elite low Alexandria of right a plus league he only played 10 games this year five years no similar style but elite low at three bars is kind of intriguing and it's someone that I'm really looking at we could can we wait to take him maybe he's supposed to go 167 we could probably wait to take him to be honest and then maybe go with a Rogers elite low a plus league or C minus league he didn't do too great in the C minus league to be fair man elite low Alexandria we were looking at him you know what let's make his day he's going super early all right simp to pick 130 anything good that's left we have any gems maybe no gems okay and elite medium Stromburg you know what a league we'll go with Stromburg supposed to go 179 we'll take them there simp to pick 132 to do no one like no one that really standing out to me right now man that's the thing there's nothing a HL top six forward C minus he did decent you know what we'll bring you on a little Canadian boy come into Buffalo just across the border we get another six round pick here leave medium just really trying to see if there's anyone that we're really missing on a HL top two there's not much left man my scouting wasn't great to be fair so you know we'll go rule off he could be a lead medium we just don't know yet simp to pick 186 my scouts obviously didn't do the greatest we'll go with bootnick why not and simp to pick 188 Matt Olson or Odelson I like I said I don't really see much left out here we don't really need the fence man I'm kind of just going in on forwards we'll take Odelson did not mean to do that that's my mistake and I'm we do not want that pick I will close my phone sim options 194 we're into the seventh round here is there any good gold centers left doesn't look like it so we're just gonna go here bottom six forward anyone with maybe two bars a HL top two you know a la voyee take a defenseman and that is our draft all right so we made big moves draft in cobalic and now we move to the offseason the red the resign stage we had a resigned coaches so let's do that our a HL head coach you know what I feel like we can get someone better Morgan Downing is in a go we can get a better associate coach you're gone and the assistant coaches here now for the time being LaBelle is our head coach I think he's gonna be a guy we only sent him to a two-year deal we were probably gonna fire him and try to get a better head coach okay so scouts we will go ahead and try to get better scouts I would like to say so we're not gonna resign those guys and now we were off to the resigning stage all right so again we know who we have to sign we have 41 million calf space to do so okay so pretty much what we're gonna do straight off the bat Kuba leak is getting a three-year entry-level deal he's gonna be up in the NHL all right so makes sense to me now look in here let's go with our ufa's first okay let's go with our RFA's first okay so and then we will sort by overall okay so Owen power is a one guy that we for sure for sure need to bring in and I know I want him here long-term so we're gonna bring him in for eight years we're gonna try to get him for seven two I think that is a steal for a defenseman now I think he's gonna be a very very good defense before so seven two eight years rather for us installing own power now Casey middle stat 25 three-year deal of 4.3 I wouldn't mind Henry Yoki Haru 25 three-year deals at 4.5 as well paid in Krebs wants a bit more there for four years looking at our ufa's I do want to bring it back Olufsen I don't think for four years I think I do a three-year deal and maybe 4.6 so that's Olufsen Vinnie Hanna Strozza we'll get back to all these smaller guys or smaller deals later it's own power Casey middle stat I will bring back man let's see if we can do four years at 4.35 for Casey middle stat I might regret that contract but someone with that we could always move Henry Yoki Haru one of our bigger defenseman I'm okay we're bringing back now if we look at our defenseman here right we got one two three we do need Henry Yoki Haru so we're gonna bring in Henry Yoki Haru three years let's see if you'll do 4.45 okay so that's Henry Yoki Haru okay who else needs contracts we're looking at the wrong screen okay paid in Krebs I would like to get done as well 23 he's an 82 overall top six medium forward man is he worth four mil that's a that's the thing I'm gonna give him a two-year deal I'm gonna give him 4.25 and see if he accepts that see what he grows into alright just a little bit of a bridge deal we might regret that as a franchise but I want to see what he grows into okay so Owen power renewing Victor Olufsen renewing Henry Yoki Haru renewing paid in Krebs renewing Casey Middlestad as well and Kuba Leak signing his entry level okay so we have 20 million cap space to work with now Vinnie and Astrosa is he someone that we want to bring back I could do one year at 1.45 see if you'll take that love you know I will release love we will release Reeves we will release Fitzgerald we will release Malone Prisky yep we will sign you my man see what you can turn into Comron we will sign you as well and now off to the RFAs Robertson 23 we will give you a two-year deal Bryson 26 let's see if we can do one mil for a year Murray 25 don't mind you signing that Picard sure these guys were just given whatever they want really like doesn't really matter to me and you as well goal-tending needs to be done UPL let's try to sign into a three three year deal see what he could turn into I'll give you 1.85 yeah that's our rookie goal tender and then we need to sign Eric Comrie depending what he wants good by me and I will sign you as well to an entry level deal are there any other actually we'll come back and see that after okay so it's advanced today Comrie wants more money all right Vinnie and Astrosa wants to test the free agency market not a problem Bryson's back back he's back back back back back okay these guys signing their entry levels all right so who won it out it was Vinnie and Astrosa so go test your free agency buddy no hard feelings there for sure man looking here any of our rookies that are worth signing top six medium defensemen the I don't know elite medium elite low Alexandria off I want to sign get him going there elite medium Kuba leak do we not sign them already I swear we did man I swear we did well we'll make sure that he's signed up I'm not sure what that's about all right top nine forward 19 you know we'll give him a year left there advanced today Kuba leak it's an honor to join the team all right so there we go that's everyone that needs to be signed let's sim off the free agency here and we will start getting some more coaches and scouts all right so first off looking at the coaching staff we do want a better head coach eventually so let's see what's out there before we even fire him all right so higher staff all right a minus is Ben 58% with the team Dallin likes him Thompson doesn't ask when like some 58% man do we do we try to go get him maybe sign him for a two-year deal as well and let's give him 4.5 right so we're gonna bring in a new head coach all right Edmonton in Arizona are interested in them right the issue here is is if we fire our coach and this guy says no we are in troubles all right so LaBelle's got to go all right done we need a head coach for the AHL an associate coach all right so head coach for the AHL we could give it to LaBelle 51% chance 61 so you know what let's give it to this guy there no wrong guy maybe it was this guy Newberry let's give it to Newberry we're gonna give him the AHL head coach five years we're gonna give him what he wants all right we need an associate coach down there 63 for Byron let's do AHL associate coach get him paid up all right we need a goalie coach now so that would be good someone that generalizes in goalies would be nice we got Newberry come in we need a goalie coach Thompson 56% chance we'll do a HL goalie coach hopefully he takes that and those should be that done I believe now we need scouts actually higher scouts what scouts do we need that's a question here okay so assigned scouts no we're looking at coaching staff do we check our scouts from here I believe so okay so pretty much anyone that doesn't have a B we want to get rid of right so fire fire fire fire they're just these are not good scouts you're not gonna get anything done for us all right plain and simple okay oh just gonna rid all these guys all right we're good okay so we need how many scouts 16 scouts all right we got one in the O one in Russia and the rest we need to see all right so higher staff higher scouts all right we need an OHL so let's bring you in OHL we need don't need NHL Nordic we definitely do need NHL NHL HL don't need a HL USA we could bring in a USA guy for sure you're up yep all right QMJ HL why not how many is that already one two three four we've we've offered five okay we've offered five Russia six need ten more do the USA nine more need the WHL all right Nordic Russia Nordic Europe we can get more Europe European scouts for sure USA we got to Europe we got to Nordic we got to Russia let's get another Russian guy in here all right QMJ HL we could bring one in OHL we could definitely bring one more all right WHL let's bring in one more we got two more contracts to give up right we'll give it to the AHL and the HL and done all right so that's all our scouts that needed to be done there all right now before we get into free agency kind of want to see what we're looking for once we get there right so center core what is our center core looking like right now okay so it's gonna be Tage Thompson Dylan Cousins middle stat paid in crabs all right we don't need Asplan but like some of these guys are gonna play the wings right we still got Ross Colton for a year that's cool Savoy is he ready to go man he might need one more year in the minors just to see where he's at so we'll look at him left wings we got one two three okay so we can use a left winger we can use a we could probably use a right winger so left wing right wing defense one two three four all right so we can use a right wing left wing probably a second and third pair defense man and goal tending seems fine to me we probably need a backup all right so let me just jot this down real quick all right so I jotted down what we needed we need a left wing a right wing we need a second and third pairing right defense man okay and then again looking for the left wing and right wing we could use honestly dude our right wing Halton and is he gonna be no Halton is not ready to go just yet so he'll be playing in the minors again yeah he'll be playing in the minors again Halton and we'll be playing in the minors once more Alex talk will be our top line so we could use a second line right winger probably a second line rare probably a second line right winger looking at our left wings Olsen patrica yeah I mean second line left wing second line right wing pretty much I think that would look good to me where is the the guy that we drafted oh where is he oh hold on interesting I can't find him for some reason but we have our prospect as well Kubelik all right he's right here okay so he's a right wing so maybe a third line right wing and a second line left wing okay so let's see who's in free agency first off okay so Elias Pettersen hit the free agency market Copetar Aho Pettersen LeBank William Nylander Evgeny Dadanov Jeff Carter killing ten alright so first things first we were looking at a left winger who can play second line minutes right so who would fit the second line so we got table terror vine in let's make sure they are unrestricted so we got terror vine in we got run and we got angle who's at a 70 or an 87 so let's see who would fit honestly man who would fit so fits none of the lines fits none fits none okay so our coach sucks all right let's not listen to our coach but this guy can play offensive line one offensive line four three maybe we go with like a pure angle how old is he's 28 he's young 87 he wants three years I'd be okay with doing like a two-year deal so you know what pure angle can be a guy that we bring in there's a Jake DeBrosk but maybe that's a depth guy that we signed so you know what let's go with pure angle no one's interested in them so let's go two years and we'll give him a 19 mil to work with let's give him 2.45 all right so there's pure angle that's our left winger that we need done right wingers Kevin LeBank William Nylander do we bring in a William Nylander for seven years at 9.2 I don't know how I feel about that right but he is one of the younger guys that have hit free agency we got Casperi Kaepernan he could be someone that I wouldn't mind bringing in I'm right now just looking at age more or less but honestly we could use someone with a little bit of age on them do we go for William Nylander no we're looking for a second line guys Alex talk a good first-liner maybe we are looking for a first-line guy and Alex talk can maybe go and play second line now we offered pure angle it's your year the two-year deal right if we go for William Nylander which I am very tempted to go with I don't think I'd want to give him seven years five years would take him to what 29 33 I'd be okay with that now do we give him 9.275 five years we're gonna have some of our rookies to sign I don't think it's a contract we're willing to take on is he gonna be good in his later ages probably man he had a good year last year with Toronto won the cup with them and he's ready to go he fits forward line one you know what I'm taking my chances and if this contract rots on us we can always trade them right so Dallas is interested in them I'm gonna go nine four nine three five for five years William Nylander let's see where that takes us okay so that's nine mil right there that's three that's what 12 mil out of the 19 we were able to spend all right so now we need defenseman second and third pairing okay so look in here second and third pairing we need a right-handed shot so TANF being one of them at 34 we could sign him for a year at 4.5 Artem Zube at 28 you know what Artem Zube is someone that interests me right so let's do a two year deal let's say let's see if you'll take two mil flat all right and we need another defenseman to come in he'll be our second line we need a third pairing so literally anyone here Labushkin wouldn't be bad bigger guy can help kill penalties fits on that third pairing we'll offer him a two-year deal I'm willing to give up that much for Labushkin 32 is there anyone better TJ Brody but he wants around the same 34 you know what let's go with you yellow bushkin no one's interested in them I'm gonna try to go for 2.3 all right and then we need a backup goaltender here someone who can back up like as you peel our starter I guess he is our starter for now all right so we need someone to back him up we could bring back Eric comery he did okay for us last year I believe 887 Brian Elliot maybe get someone with age back there so let's go Brian Elliot I'll give him 2.2 man oh my god Scott Scott Wedgewood didn't have a good year uh geez man oh boy okay uh monson bowl 908 you know what do we want to give our backup goaltender that much money Kevin Lankinen had a 910 but then you go back to Brian Elliot he had a 924 who did he play with last year he played with anaheim too man all right you know what let's go with Brian Elliot we can cough up that money let's do a year oh beautiful I can do a year and I'll even give you 1.7 my friend you know I'll give you 1.8 just to make sure you come to to Buffalo all right so that's everyone we addressed everything that we needed all right real quick before we start simming we got to go to our staff and we do got to fire our coach okay oh we did we are we did already okay I don't know what I'm on about okay so let's advance and see who says yes all right incoming trade Bjork ooh second get a fourth get shum on hand don't even want shum on hand thank you though all right sim these days all right so we got our ahl head coach in New Berry so that's good uh all right we got our associate coach Byron so our ahl team's looking good um ahl goalie coach has declined okay no worries there um I'm only except your offer so we're getting our scouts coming in now scouts coming in all right so these are just our scouts accepting none of the coaches obviously just scouts that's good everyone's accepting we needed the scouts so that's good let's advance another day more scouts coming in more scouts coming in they're all scouts but they're all accepting which is good all right so that's one thing that we wanted to get out of the way it's out of the way now all right so beautiful accepting all our offers we love that keep accepting baby let's go okay cool uh Bjork for Kerfoot who's back in Colorado uh no thank you all right let's advance another day ooh head coach said no ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh okay Ilya Labushkin is coming back to Buffalo he's extremely uh happy to accept our offer welcome back Labushkin Artem Zube that is a huge signing is coming to Buffalo Brian Elliott has accepted pure Engvall has accepted but we're still willing um William you know what's funny is I'd even mean to I signed two Maple Leaf players I'd even mean to that's a funny thing okay so we gotta go hire staff is that coach still available man he is still available was this the guy that we uh offered 51% I think it was him right so you know what let's offer him everything that we have all right five years all right take five mil man I don't care we need a good coach no one wants to come coach this team for some reason all right we had the same issue last offseason signing a good head coach please all right advance a day William Nylander is going to the New York Islanders how the turn have tables eh huh all right so our big right winger is gone off to the Isles all right so we still need a right winger and there's not there's still some decent players left like Wheeler two years don't know how I feel about that Anthony Manta man dude that kind of sucks Tyler Tafoli wants four years like we have how much we have 15 million cap space man we can sign a Craig Smith for a depth scoring I won't mind that we'll give him a one-year deal at 1.35 no problem there just get some depth scoring in there Victor Arvidson 31 oh man dude that kind of sucks dad on wants two years I don't think he's gonna stay at an 88 at 35 Blake Wheeler wouldn't be a bad show maybe for like a year maybe two years I wouldn't mind doing six mil for him I don't know who else dude Bear Banoff he's up there in age all these guys up there in age Daniel Sprung I mean a depth guy two years 27 81 overall he's still young we'll give him a deal um other than that man Tafoli wanting four years you don't need a rider 86 overall does he keep it up I'll sign him at a two-year deal 2.8 all right ah man that really sucks about Neelander dude really sucks let's advance these days see what happens here Ben just still doesn't want to come here five mil and still does not want to come here I'm gonna try one more time with him I don't get why no one wants to come both coach these Buffalo Sabres man I'll give you less years and maybe a bit more money dude like I don't know what else to offer you here dude we gave you well just a bit over five mil and you still said no literally take everything dude we need a good coach here in Buffalo I feel like we needed desperately we'll give him 5.4 dude if you say no to this you're out of your damn mind buddy out of your damn mind all right so let's advance another day advance another one see what our uh free agents say oh now you want to join the team all right you just wanted a 5.4 mil but we got a good coach Brandon van welcome to the Buffalo Sabres organization uh Craig Smith has accepted you know Neetah Rider has accepted Daniel Sprong has rejected we have a full roster okay so Bjork for Bobrovsky get the hell out of here man okay now looking at our team here right I just want to see if we have enough players to ice on this team we have 50 contracts out of 50 all right so center-wise all right Thompson Cousins middle stat Savoy he all right Colton okay so we could put one of these guys in the wing left wings Engvall Olufsen Patrika Krebs okay or Asplend right wings Smith Neetah Rider Tuck Cousins Thompson not Colton he's a lefty Piccar whatever right defenseman Dallin Power Yoki Haru Labushkin Clegg uh Robertson was there not one more defenseman that we just signed I swear we signed one more defenseman am I trippin Artem Zube we don't know who's overall yet okay so that was a risky signing I guess is there a way to turn off I don't think there is let me check quickly yeah there's no way okay so it is what it is we're gonna have to deal with fog award for this franchise mode okay so I think realistically this is the team we're going with all right so listen to next season uh we are going to edit our trade block we don't want anything right now we're pretty content with our team we're gonna see how everyone turns out uh we're gonna make our team and then when we are good to go uh next episode will be us starting the sim for next season all right it's been a long episode already this off season has been a busy one for your Buffalo Sabres okay so listen to the season we don't know who the captain's gonna be yet I think we are gonna give the captaincy to Rasmus Dallin uh and then an assistant captain to Tuck um and then I'm not sure who else all right so we're gonna make sure to do all of that and the next uh video will be the start of the season so take Thompson I'm gonna uninside the captaincy I'm gonna uninsign the alternate on the signer right I want the captaincy to go to Rasmus Dallin I want the A to go to Thompson and I want the A to go to uh where is he Alex Tucker right so that's all set edit the lines here and what are we seeing here right Olson Kubelik is playing first line kind of want Craig Smith up here Kubelik there talk on the third uh cousins I want on the first line with Thompson and Craig Smith Olson crabs Kubelik uh maybe throw Engel on that first line like we wanted to throw cousins there man this is uh looking like a sneakily good team man and then I wanted uh interesting put Olson there put Nita Ryder maybe up here see what he turns into and then defense Dallin Yoki Haru maybe throw Zube ooh ooh no no no no what are we gonna do here we got a minus to her hopefully that works out uh and then our goal tending at the greatest now looking in the AHL Halton is up to a 71 we got Savoy he you know what we'll give him one more year in the AHL if he does good hey man we're fine we're calling you up right now looking at the NHL maybe we get rid of Ross Colton but I don't want to play in fourth line minutes just yet all right so that looks good to me Kubelik no gold uh X factor right now but you know what we'll do is we will sim through the regular the preseason and uh get all that done all right so again we're getting trade offers ooh interesting all right Jeremy Swamin if we wanted a gold tender got a year left 85 overall 25 starting gold tender alexandriov man and we're getting rid of two seconds that's second that we've got man you know what I will come back to boston if they're still looking to do this eventually but right now we're gonna start the season with upl in that right so I think that might be our best case scenario okay so sim the preseason which we just did uh and let me go sign the scouts real quick all right regular season is done common come and gone I just want to see everyone's ratings before we get started we did not have a good uh preseason by the way but it is what it is preseason is preseason okay so look in here edit the lines Kubelik is in 83 he's getting first line minutes he's in 83 already at 18 years of age man uh awesome all right so he'll be playing with tage thompson and pure engvall who was a horrible signing 78 overall it's a good thing we only signed into that let's throw dylan cousins up there let's get nita rider up there and let's put asplan up there right not a good great signing all right but it is what it is okay sammel craig smith knock ray let's throw olison up there all right and maybe we'll keep Kubelik so this is what the lines are going to be looking like going into the season for next episode all right cousins will be playing with tage thompson and Kubelik uh olison with payton krebs and nino nita rider krebs went up to an 85 so you know what man that two-year bridge deal might bite us in the bud we might have to pay him more come uh the two years asplan will be playing with metalstat and tuc and then smith with colton and engvall defense we got dalin with henry okiharu lubushkin with oan power and clay with artem zube now my one thing that i do need to say it's a zoop signing not looking too great two years at two mils all right lubushkin two years at what 2.3 is all right as well country deadline i can already see moves that we need to make uh being probably a third line winger and a fourth line winger defense definitely a first pairing defenseman get rid of zoob or lubushkin and then if goaltending doesn't go the way it's supposed to definitely a starting goaltender for um the season to try to get us into the playoffs and competing for a cup looking down here in the minors halted and still at a 71 uh so we'll see what he can do uh savoy he's going to be ready next year i want to say so that's going to be a center for us goaltending we got uh two pretty good goaltenders here they're both 25 so we don't know what they're going to turn into and the defensively uh not really any good prospects down here other than that who is scratched any of our prospects alexandria was one of those guys let's throw him into the lineup maybe get rid of you and put alexandria off in there get him playing some fourth line minutes there maybe a roosa lining up there okay so that looks good to me everything to set for next episode all right so if you guys have any suggestions before we start to see him in next episode leave in the comment section down below this is what the buffalo sabers are looking like going into the 2024 2025 regular season as potential playoff contenders that is it for today i will see you guys in the next one
