 All right Buffalo it is time for the year two trade deadline and I've cooked up a little trade that I think might go through but I did want to say this before we get into the trade deadline I was looking at our draft class here right and the player that's projected to go first overall is Arthur Baines right we have no knowledge of him to this point he looks like a decent player when I go to click scout there's no scouts in the region so I want to go hire a couple of scouts we're waiting to hear back from them and hopefully they will let us know we got Kubelik going second who we really do like man he's a gem a plus a plus a a a plus a minus he's similar style to Owen Nolan which is great he's NHL ready he is ready to go once he is drafted which is pretty cool to see and man looking at a synergies three two-heat seeker four to bouncer four to big tipper two to shotgun on two to wheels man this is someone I would love to draft he is a gem for us again this guy third overall we know nothing about him we're hoping to get scouted about him same with this guy he's currently being scouted looking over at him we need him to be scared he's been scouted we like us to be scouted he's currently being scouted so we're looking at our draft class it looks like it's gonna be a good draft here for us and right now looking at our looking at our looking at us in the standings right now so we're looking at the entire league looking at point percentage we are third last in the league title Minnesota but they have a game in hand okay so well that being said we want to keep tanking we want to guarantee at least a top five pick in this draft so I was picking up a little trade off video and honestly this might be something to go through okay so I was talking about last year getting rid of Jeff Skinner I think this is a year we're gonna do it so Jeff Skinner and I think we are gonna get rid of our captain Kyle Ockposo okay so what we're gonna do here is we are retaining Skinner's contract up to four mil okay we're gonna have to do it for the team we're trading to okay so we are retaining his salary up to 4.1 okay 4.1 mils what we were retaining so we're gonna be paying Jeff Skinner 4.1 mil for four years Ockposo's got a year left I'm finally retaining half of his salary that's only 800k okay and then we are throwing in a third round pick as well that's okay it's a later pick now Dallas is a team that is interested in Jeff Skinner okay they are 29 29 and 3 so their season can either go very well or very bad this after the trade deadline depending what they do so I really like their first round pick and then we're gonna have to eat up some salary because this team is close to the salary cap and we are gonna have to take on the contract of Radick Fasca he's got two years 3.25 I'm finally taking that on and now will this go through straight up I'm not sure to be honest we're gonna try it out I think we're close to getting a deal done here okay and like I said I really like Dallas's first round pick because they're either gonna just make the playoffs or they are not gonna make the playoffs and we're gonna have a very good first round pick now looking at a situation in the draft lottery we only have one first round pick we have a second a third a fourth a fifth a two six and a seventh so we're trying we're trying to unload some of our roster players Ock Posso and Skinner being some of them but other than that like looking at who else we would get rid of after that there's no one really else like maybe an Asplin but he's still 26 a Ross Colton won't get much Oleson we're gonna keep you know there's not really much that we can trade for draft picks right now so this team is almost ready to be competing for a Stanley Cup I want to say so let's see this goes through Jeff Skinner retained at 4.1 mil Kyle Ock polls are retained at 50% and a third round pick for Radick Fasca and a first round pick from Dallas trade rejected so we could live with what you're setting us but not ideal but it's but not in this deal your offers willfully insufficient so they when I consider value for what you're asking return so they're not a fan of this trade which kind of sucks will a six round pick get it done I doubt it so a third in a six for Fasca and a first rejected your awful your offer to us is feeling needs we have but the value just isn't where it needs to be okay so it all comes down to this first round pick being so much in trade value Radick Fasca as well maybe if we retain them at 50% will that help 4.8 I doubt it will yeah I know it's not enough and I doubt a six round pick will do much so maybe this is a trade that won't go through unfortunately yeah it's rejected sucks to see I don't really want to give up anything higher than a third like I don't think it's worth it for a pick that might not be worth getting rid of now are there other teams interested in Detroit's interested in them they're having a little decent year 3620 and 3 they will make the playoffs we could get their first round pick maybe we just send like I don't know if that would even go I don't even know if that would go through we don't have to retain a lot of Jeff Skinner's contract here which is actually amazing to see we could probably cough up maybe 1.5 close to 1.6 if we really wanted to the Troy needs to get rid of a skater so who's someone with no trade value Gustav Nyquist he would be sending some some cap back as well so this would go through I don't know if it would go through right away Jeff Skinner for the choice first round pick and Gustav Nyquist who's elite exact maybe not him I don't know is there someone with trade value that has very little of it maybe a lot we could take so a lot and a first round pick for Skinner could we maybe get another pick thrown in I doubt it like maybe like a seventh I don't think so I doubt this goes through yeah not rejected maybe Jeff Skinner for love in a first round pick I don't even think this will go through it does go through okay so Jeff Skinner is off to Detroit we get a first round pick now the thing is yes I do think the choice gonna make the playoffs but it's another first round pick that we can maybe use to move up in the draft lottery so we I believe we need to call someone up Murray 25 we call up Murray for sure and I think we should be good to go edit NHL lines here and pretty much everyone's just gonna move up one all right and then we will throw in Murray sounds good to me power play who's missing is it just glitched no someone is actually missing I don't know put Dallin I guess and then we're still missing no or not it's just glitched and then we'll put Dallin here as well okay just for the time being it's fine duplicated roles on power play line too was Dallin already here where is duplicated roles I don't see no duplicated roles dog I want power Dallin games glitched the game is glitched EA it's in the game it's still glitched all right you know what we're gonna do this for now head coach preferred lines for the time being and then we'll go to the NHL and I mean yeah that looks fine to me painting Krebs on that second line Casey middle stat on the wing I rather have Krebs on the wing if anything what's his face off rating 76 middle stats 74 okay maybe maybe the coach is right we're just leaving like that man okay and then I think we're gonna move off post so if we can get something for him that'd be great other than that looks good there everything looks good here okay so best lines in the HL but make sure our first round pick is playing first line minutes which he is okay cool so that's all good there I think how I pose was another guy that maybe we can get something for his trade value really isn't there that's the only thing if he doesn't have that much of trade value let's see what team is interested in them okay Dallas is interested in them we were gonna send him off to Dallas so we could set him off to Dallas for maybe like we're pushing for a fifth I don't even think this goes through it does go through so call a puzzle for a fifth round pick I don't mind it at all okay so just a little pick there our captain is gone unfortunately what it is what it is we're gonna call up York he's gonna play in the NHL and really it's just a year of tank in here that's why we're getting rid of these players so Bjork gets put into there looking at the power play what is missing and nothing we're good to go okay so those were the trades that we wanted to make looking at even strength here we'll move everyone up one and who is sitting on the bench that needs to play 21 years of age you are 23 yeah let's give this 21 year old a shot here substitute in all lines penalty kill we'll throw in whoever and penalty kill again throwing that same guy there and everything is looking a okay so those were the big moves that we wanted to make there's really no one else on this team that we're gonna be moving now okay so looking here Owen Powers and the team Dallin stay on the team Halton and stay on the team Thompson Savoy Cousins Krebs is staying yeah for the most part everyone is young and staying on this team all right so Ross Colton was a guy that we picked up in free agency it's gonna he's got two years left with us we could trade him away but we need players to ice right now okay so I think we are done for trades and I don't mind what we did so we picked up a first rounder and we picked up a fifth rounder getting rid of Skinner and Kyle Locco so okay I don't mind it I think it's a decent decent little move that we made okay so let's into the deadline we had a game against Arizona which we all right we got a scout in which is good and we get another scout in which is good okay cool so scouts are in we lose to Arizona which is great now quickly another okay so he wasn't able to make it that's okay we have full scouts now well that being said let's go view the draft class do we have a scout that can finally scout okay so he's being scouted beautiful do we have anyone to scout we do let's do potential in comparison looks good to me currently being scouted these guys are scouted alright so we look we look like we're good here currently being scouted no scouts in that region all right so we got the scouts all up to speed we should get that back soon all right so we're heading to the trade deadline we will continue there and we are I guess a conservative seller we're kind of just done selling like we don't have much to sell so what I'm gonna do here we're gonna see who's available and then I'm gonna just kind of edit if there's any good trades you guys will see what they are okay so who's available on the copetar with the year left the 10 mil interesting Sergei Bobrovsky flurry Alice Valamov Pellick William Carlson Jacob Truba Risa line and Poulac Zuccarello a lot of big names on this list man so I'm interested to see where people go you guys will see once trades happen we are kind of done we're just chilling for the trade deadline we made the moves we wanted to make before the trade deadline we're chilling so we got a first trade coming in the Los Angeles Kings trade I a follower in Ranson in and a third round picked Arizona in exchange for a second for two seconds wow okay interesting I follow off to Arizona another incoming trade Minnesota's making one they're getting rid of Zuccarello and a couple rookies going to the Rangers in exchange for Jacob Truba and a fifth round pick so Truba playing in Minnesota now and okay interesting trade there that was that was interesting hold on can we trade summary let me see that real quick so Zuccarello is going over to the Rangers in exchange for Truba interesting little trade there okay big names being thrown around this trade deadline we got Seattle coming in with a trade they're trading one Berg and a third to Philly in exchange for Rista line in and a fourth and a fifth or fourth and a sixth okay a lot of the big names going out early man interesting trades being made here Columbus is on the board making a trade here they are trading a second and a third to the Islanders in exchange for Bouvier a fourth and a seventh all right Bouvier off to Columbus Ohio San Jose is making a trade as well here they're trading Oscar Limbaugh and Kevin LeBank and Matt Roy to the Flyers in exchange for Ryan Ellis a third and a fourth okay Philly involved with some trades I believe that's your second Ryan Ellis I believe that was is headed off to San Jose was a Ryan Ellis let me just make sure it was yes he is for Oscar Limbaugh Kevin LeBank and Matt Roy okay I will say so far no trades coming out of Detroit which could be good for us because we do have their first round pick Nashville is now making a trade don't be with Detroit they're trading Ryan Johansson they're very good prospects very very good prospects to the Islanders in exchange for Cal Claude Poulac and Cal Clutterbuck what dude I think that's a fleece job oh okay that didn't show that okay so the Islanders have acquired Ryan Johansson Zachary LaRue who is a very good prospect for the Preds in exchange for Poulac a fifth and Cal Clutterbuck I think the Islanders win that trade in a heartbeat okay now Carolina making a trade Nyeback to the to the Canadians in exchange for Edmondson a wide man what a trade deadline this has been huge trades being made I still can't get over the Islander Nashville trade I think Nashville got absolutely fleeced alright the trade deadline has ended not very big a lot of big trades but after those big ones nothing really huge we got okay Kiviranta how old are you 27 79 overall decent little player what's his contract looking like one year I mean we might as well just pick him up he could be something I don't know I don't know do we you know what you know what the X-Factors are decent I'm gonna decline for now we don't really need him okay so that is that we are going to sim the rest of the season sim the playoffs and see what kind of draft pick we get okay so let's go to the first of the month once more hopefully we lose a bunch of games here Dylan Cousins is available to play so we will throw him in right now we oh my god ten four losses to Toronto but we're losing games we love to see that Dylan Cousins is ready to go so pretty much I think everyone's gonna get sent down lines and Dylan Cousins is gonna come into that second center slot role okay so there you go losing games we're dead last in the Atlantic things you love to see let's continue the sim and continue to lose some games all right let's hopefully that's what happens here okay so Vinny Hinnestrosa is back so we can send someone down preferably someone on the two-way we'll do Roosterlion in oh we can't we'd be under the league cap interesting okay so who came who just came back Hinnestrosa right let's auto fix our roster let's edit the lines Vinny Hinnestrosa is back in okay is everything else look good here Krebs on that first line I don't mind that I want middle stat up there actually maybe middle stat on that first line and that looks good to me okay let's continue 7 yes we're losing games all this is beautiful we're on a huge losing streak I'm actually intrigued to see how big of a losing streak we were on right now because we are just losing games and this is amazing Victor Olofsson is ready to go we got to send someone down geez we might have to auto fix our roster again auto fix roster let's go ahead at these lines Victor Olofsson is back Peyton Krebs there Casey Middle stat up here we got a minus one okay maybe we'll keep him on that third I don't know man whatever honestly it's fine let's just keep losing games like I'm chill with this alright we win against Toronto somehow that's interesting alright Jacob Bryson is injured that's one of our defensemen down do we have anyone scratched no they're all forwards awesome dude alright let's go to roster moves hit okay gotta call up a defenseman call up Robertson and then at the same time am I able to send down one of these forwards no I'm not okay so that's fine edit NHL lines and we are going to put in mr. Robertson we'll throw him on the left side there and Samus make a play there we'll go to back to edit lines here everyone's gonna move up one and we will send in a Davies alright looks good to me these lines not being right no it's just a glitch I love that glitch that's such a good glitch to have awesome alright Petrica's already won we'll just do Fitzgerald it doesn't matter and now everything is good okay so continue sim in here keep losing games keep losing games Jacob Bryson is back back so soon and we're not able to send on anyone I don't get that man would be under the salary cap so I gotta do this auto fix roster and now my lines are gonna be all messed up again which is awesome dude I love that okay everything's good keep seven alright so how big of a losing streak were we on till we lot till we won to Toronto okay so looking at our losses here alright so one two three four five six seven eight nine I gotta redo that okay one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen game losing streak until we won against Toronto so we got to be dead last in the NHL if we're looking at this like surely no the Kraken are still worse than us but we are second last so that's that's nice to see let's see about the rest of the season and see where we end up alright so last game of the years against Boston is a shootout win let's keep losing we're getting points in some of these losses which I'm not a fan of but that's okay let's just continue losing games here which we are doing Henry Okuharu we're gonna do head coach for places seasons in the bin 28 49 and 5 alright so let's kind of just see what everyone did this season Tate Thompson in a losing season still did amazing 65 points in 78 games played 50 and 82 for Todd Cousins 49 and 75 looking at the AHL Halton and man up to a 71 15 goals 25 assists good for him let's go back here how did the UPL do for us 901 safe percentage he did decent for us man you couldn't ask for more okay now looking at the entirety of the NHL let's do that before we look at anything else let's go to the entire league let's see who did what alright so most goals this year going to Connor McDavid with 54 goals line it was right behind them 48 most points going to Johnny Goudreau look at the Columbus bluejack it's a rolling good for them alright and now it is time to see where we ended up in the NHL alright so looking at the points here we are in it dead last wait no that's in the Atlantic my bad I thought I was about to get excited we are in dead last tied with the San Jose sharks we might come out on top I think we are in dead last no it's saying we're 31 so we came in we came in second last place which I will definitely take not too bad not too bad at all alright so we will take that that's good to see now playoffs are going to be starting anytime and that's the NHL season done so looking at the playoff table the ducks are coming up against the coyotes the aves against the Jets Nashville against St. Louis Edmonton against Vancouver now looking at the east we got to remember we have Detroit's first-round pick they are playing against the Penguins so let's go Penguins the Leafs are playing the Bruins once again caps and flyers and the Islanders and the Canes alright so let's send the entire playoffs I kind of want to go like a couple weeks just to see what Detroit does okay so hopefully Detroit is done I pray that Detroit is going to lose alright so first-round series should be almost done and Detroit won their series alright thanks a lot Pittsburgh for absolutely nothing let's continue going here and see what happens here alright our HL team is still well and alive the Leafs finally beat the Boston Bruins in the first round so that's something there alright yep best lines for everything here and we're on to the conference finals okay so let me see the Leafs are off to the conference finals against the Washington Capitals okay interesting and the aves are playing the Anaheim ducks okay so let's keep it going here 3-1 let's go maybe till the Saturday here and the Stanley Cup finals going to be against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Colorado Avalanche so let's see how this series goes Leafs take game one Leafs game two Leafs take game three are they gonna sweep in the Stanley Cup final and they do with the Toronto Maple Leafs are your Stanley Cup champions oh my goodness let's look at the playoff tree see how it all went down so Detroit made it to the second round so we're gonna have a decent little first-round pick the Leafs man we're just kind of cleaning up they've only lost three four five games in the whole playoffs that is crazy so the Leafs ended up taking the Stanley Cup home to Toronto for the first time in ages this has not been updated yet so we will continue simming until we get the confirmation so Saturday when the Calder Cup the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup alright so we will take a look at all the awards and the Buffalo Sabres get the first round pick oh my god we won the draft lottery San Jose got moved down to third so we get the first round pick that is huge for Buffalo man that is absolutely huge just go view the draft class we are looking at Kuba League at number one guys all right we are looking at Kuba League a plus a plus a a a plus a minus he's NHL ready similar style to Owen Nolan heat seeker bouncer big tipper shotgun all-in wheels that is our first round pick we were also looking at Baines who's gonna go third overall he's NHL ready similar style to Sean Monaghan dude we're getting Kuba League Aldrich Kuba League is absolutely huge wow alright he's NHL ready he's gonna be good to go once we get him at 18 man that is crazy we won the first we won the draft lottery that is huge man that's awesome let's view retired players see who's leaving Louie Erickson, Valteri Philpula, Brian Little, Nielsen, Dubinsky, Botker oh my god these are throwbacks anyone on Buffalo highly doubt it no okay so that is good there coach retirements and Buffalo's not in there so we don't really care players are retired that are now scouts okay and yeah so we're gonna continue simming like I mean we'll look at the draft class one more time with Kuba Leaks our guy he is a right wing he is a power forward 6-2-198 man he's gonna be good for Buffalo man Buffalo we are getting a very very good player next video will be the NHL entry draft quickly we're gonna look at the awards to see who won what so the cup going to the Maple Leafs president's

selfie going to Copa Tar who did not move at the deadline and the Ted Lindsey going to Goudreau who has four awards the Rashard going to McDavid and that is everything alright so next video will be the offseason for your Buffalo Sabres we will be doing the NHL entry draft we will be doing the resign stage and we will do it we will be doing free agency now I got a question for you guys with this first overall pick being ready to go is next year the year where the Buffalo Sabres are ready for Cup contention or playoff contention or is that another year of rebuilding and letting our prospects grow for one more year let me know in the comment section down below I'm interested to see what you guys think I'm not sure what what to really do or what to do with this team what direction I want to take I think ideally we get our first overall pick we go to the resign stage if there are big names and free agency maybe we go out and get a couple big names and start competing for the playoffs because our prospect pool is pretty deep alright guys like I said that is it for today's video thank you guys very much for watching and I will see you guys in the next one
