 All right, ladies and gentlemen it is the 2023 offseason for your Buffalo Sabres And we have the eighth overall pick going into this draft now quickly. We saw this last episode We're gonna quickly look into our draft board our projected picks for the first round is Braden Jager Zachary Benson It's gonna be one of these two out of the two men Honestly, I kind of want to go with Benson. Maybe Jager's a better play. He's a center. He's six one one sixty nine And then Benson's five ten five ten one fifty eight So if Jager doesn't go seventh, maybe we go ahead and get Zachary Benson so with that being said this episode we're gonna go through the Entry draft and then we are gonna go through the reassigned stage and free agency and the next video will be the start of the 2024 season So that being said we're starting the initial entry draft New Jersey has the first overall pick and I'm the second so we're all the way here at Number nine, so we don't have the number eight pick. We have a number nine pick actually Is it we're trading up? I don't think so like obviously it would be get Connor Bedard, right? But like realistically like what would he what would we have to give up for our first overall pick from New Jersey, right? So obviously we'd be sending our first overall pick back the other way, okay? We're gonna have to give up someone on our roster for sure So who are they looking at from our team that has some sort of trade value that we're willing to give up? Maybe like an Alex Tuck, but at the same time, I'm not really willing to give them up Do I what I rather give up Victor Olives and maybe maybe a victory all of some we can give away But like okay, let's say we throw Victor Olives and that's not going through right away, right? Can we get away with giving away a first overall pick and maybe let's say One of our seconds. Do we need two seconds? Not necessarily. I don't think this still goes through And I don't think this is a fair trade at the same time Maybe we do a first and a second and maybe like someone that's matching the block with not too much trade value that we're willing to Give up that is maybe up there in age Maybe like a plague we can give up 25 years old. He's a depth defense man They're interested in a maybe a plague a second and a first for their first overall pick I still don't see this going through. We'll try it out And it's rejected. So I don't want to give up too much even a first and a second like okay Obviously our first is we're getting back the first overall pick at the same time We're giving away a second. Clegg is fine Like who else are they interested in that maybe we're willing to give up that is up there in age No, no one really that we're willing to give up goalies. They're interested in this kid Me do you do we willingly give up a prospect? I still don't think this goes through So, you know what? We're gonna stick with our pick. Do we want to trade for the second overall pick? With Anaheim possibly maybe they would want a little less to give away so we'd give away our first and Who who interests them? There's a minute on the board here Not much really interests them and it's all the rookies that we do want to keep that are probably gonna be playing for us Sometime do we want to do a first and a second per se? Probably not. I do see this going through But is it worth it at first and a second? We're trading up for the second overall pick We can try it trade rejected. So, you know, well, we're gonna stick with our pick So with that being said, let's just sim to our pick sim to pick nine Let's see who went where oh Benson and Jaeger are gone So the two players that we were looking at are gone. Absolutely gone. Obviously, but our goes first We got Valisi going to Anaheim lots going to the Habs Christian sin going to the flames So We're gonna call the time out here Give us seven minutes on the board to see what is up here and what what we're looking at So we're looking at this kid. He's an elite medium 55 games played right-wing sniper six three two hundred pounds 14 goals nine assistant 55 games played a minus BB BCC Would mesh well in any locker room has very well-rounded personality similar style to Eric stall NHL ETA is two years and oh my god. Look at those x-factor snipe Seeing I close quarter shock and on big rig. This might be our pick. He's projected to go 14th overall So do we maybe trade down? Maybe trade down to the 12th or 13th pick or the 14th pick Or do we just take the shot and get him now? So I'm not too sure. I am interested in this kid. I think he's one that I want to go to go for this guy It's supposed to go 10th overall. I'm I'm very interested in this kid right here. Do like His rank is 14th overall. I Don't know if it's worth trying to trade down like what realistically let's say we wanted to trade for the 12th overall pick Right, we're gonna get rid of our pick What else can we what else can we realistically get from these guys? No one really so you know what? We're just gonna take him at 9th overall I don't see trading down a smart move. So this kid here halting in halting in. Hopefully I'm saying that right Looks pretty good NHL ETA is two years. I think that's a good pick from the Buffalo Sabres. So we will take Casper Halton welcome to the Buffalo Sabres organization. Let's send to our 40th overall pick here So we got we got a couple picks coming up here. Let's see what's available Do we have any gems? We do he's supposed to go 48th overall. That's a pick that we have right now 36 games play two goals three assists 32 penalty minutes 511 178 We already drafted a right winger. Do we think he's the guy? I'm not too sure to be honest Look in here These guys can all wait. We're looking at this guy, but 98th overall can definitely wait He looks actually pretty decent not too bad. Okay, so let's see Obviously I didn't do drafting enough because there's not much known here, which is unfortunate So maybe we just do it like this. We had a left-wing 511 Nikolai Malkov Um shock and all spin around the ankle breaker send it ETA is two years Had a decent not not the greatest here actually to be honest. He might drop Is there anyone that could maybe like make this team it like damn? Okay? Not a lot of these guys are good. We are looking at at these guys these guys that are start over here He's interesting Theo Jonas didn't really do too much, but has some very good x-factor So maybe we can turn him into something there He's 50. He's projected to go 55th. We could probably take him with our next pick Other than that top six forward I don't know what to do here Let's call another time out give us some more time to kind of decide what we're gonna do with our next couple of picks Because I really don't know what the play is here. We're looking at Malkov too We yeah, we looked at this guy already, right? So like he could definitely be one of the picks and then maybe we go with This kid over here who has a lot of good x-facters ETA is three years We take a chance on Theo Jonas maybe other than that. I don't really see anyone that Really pops out to me. I'll be real honest with you So with that being said we got elite medium Brigley. He had a pretty good year No synergies left wing, you know what doesn't look bad. Let's pin home We're gonna keep looking at him H. I'll top two elite medium Center. Oh, he's another good kid there. Let's pin him as well and Yeah, so I think the play with the this pick over here. I think we are gonna go with Malikov was that the was that the play maybe go Malikov or maybe we go oh Or maybe we go him he said we could probably wait for Jonas. I Like the synergies that he had are the yeah the x-facters that he has and Then is there a way to look at our pin players? Where do you see the pin players? I pin players and they're not here, but I think we're gonna go. He's supposed to go 55th right When's our next pick So we get it we could probably wait for one of the players that we pin. So with that being said I Think the play is to go with Malikov first Take a little shot on him. His NHL ETA is two years as well. So let's go Malikov That's one of our picks there We're gonna go to our 42nd overall pick We're gonna decline that and we are gonna go with I think it was Theo Jonas that we were looking at Looks pretty decent left wing 6-1 Decent little stats third eye No similar style seems incredibly loyal in his very okay So you know what we'll go with Theo Jonas there and those are two pretty good picks So we two left wingers and in the first round we took a center I believe our right winger. So If we can go for a defense may may be a different little pick there, we could definitely do that So we're similar to pick 59 we're getting some trade offers for picks. We're gonna just say no to whatever's there The guys that we pinned are they still available? So Brigley is still available. He's another winger But this guy just really does intrigue me 58 games played 14 goals 36 assists. He was a plus six His ETA is three years keeps the emotions in check very low But can lack the drive to win. That's that's a little That's a that's a little Kind of wants wants to hold back there Petrie looks pretty good Peter Petrie. I don't know 57 games play 15 goals 16 assists. He is a center A plus a a minus a minus B and B One year an HLE TA. I'm kind of interested in him 81st overall pick When do we want our next pick? Do we have a third rounder? Like can we wait till the third round? We don't even have a third rounder. So, you know what? I'm gonna take him in the in the second round. I Know we're like he's projected to go pretty late But I don't want to risk losing him So I think we're gonna go with with him for sure Petrie. I think his name was Peter Petrie I don't know you guys. Let me know in the comment section below. What how to pronounce his name I feel so bad. Okay, so pick 104 Ooh Travis Haminick. It's got a year left for trading our fourth for Ottawa's fourth it next year I'm probably just gonna decline. I'm not interested in Travis Haminick. So that's all right there. I saw a trade there Hold on the Clayburg has been dealt to the Minnesota wild The Bruins, okay have acquired Jonas Brodeen Interesting, okay, so some moves are being made here. So that's interesting Look in here top nine medium like who do we want to look at is there anyone just on the board that looks Kind of promising to us. I'm not too sure. Elite medium. We got a gold tenor which wouldn't be bad To get it didn't have a great year 71 games played 39 wins an 897 say percentage B minus B minus B four years NHL ETA Tyler O'Neill 64 games played 18 goals 22 assists 5 9. He's a center Got some decent x-factor. So maybe he's someone that we want to look at we'll pin him Are there any good defenseman like I haven't seen anyone really like that really that stands out Which is honestly crazy to me. There's not nothing that really stands out. We were looking at Ernie before for some reason Don't know why he's pinned Baker Doesn't look too promising. Oh, we can get Crosby That's interesting So really not any good defenseman. I think what we are gonna do is gonna go for that kid that we did pin This guy's top nine medium didn't have a great year So let's go with the guy that we pinned. I already forget his name, unfortunately, but he is somewhere down here Was it why are these guys start? Okay, wait, these guys aren't pinned. No But these guys we have looked at for some reason and they don't really intrigue me I think we're gonna go with O'Neill another center He had a good year great synergies ankle breaker spin around a wheels elite edges So Tyler O'Neill welcome to the Buffalo Savers organization seem to pick 136 got another trade coming Piz chick For a fifth now. We're good. We're gonna go with a defenseman here I don't know. He didn't have that great of a year, but maybe he's something that can turn into something He's one of the better defensemen that I saw in the draft. We're gonna seem to pick 168 We have a lot of draft picks, which is good. It's just we're running out of Players that we're looking at are there any gems left on the board? There are not Any decent little players that might just catch our eye that could be a little bit decent It doesn't really look like it to be honest. Ahl top two Doesn't look the greatest four years. We were looking at him while scouting him Maybe we just go For him since we've been looking at him give him a little shot there Sent to pick 200 we are in round seven Like I said, anyone that's really good. Let's see who we scouted If there's anyone decent then maybe Might make the team I Can't look into them for some reason interesting. Okay, I don't know if that's a glitch or what? Let's go to players. Maybe it isn't No, it's glitched. All right, cool. So we can't really tell let's just go. We need defensemen We're gonna take defensemen as we can You guys are probably hating the way I'm drafting right now. I apologize But I really can't look into what these players are looking like to be honest, which actually sucks So let's go with a gold tender maybe sure and we should be Done our picks so sim the entire draft that is done. So we made a bunch of selections We made we made two four six eight nine selections in the 2023 NHL entry draft So let's sim to the resign phase Resign stage. We're gonna look at coaches. I think we want a better coach No offense at the Karski just not a fan of him So we're gonna probably fire him and look for a better coach and when the time comes That's what we'll go do it. We have scouts with assigning or with That need contracts. So we'll sort out the coaching staff and everything Let's go to the resign stage see who needs to be resigned who we're gonna be bringing back for this year So looking at our RF a's we have a bunch UFA's. We have a bunch as well. So Top priority here. We want Dylan Cousins back. He's gonna be a guy that's gonna be here for a long time So if I can lock him up to an eight-year deal, he wants nine point one, okay, maybe not an eight year Let's hit a little bit of a five-year deal. Let's see if he'll take six one And hopefully he'll stay with the team. We have twenty seven million caps base So let's see if you'll do that asplend. I'm good with a like a two-year kind of deal for you 25 We'll give him two to five see if you'll take that Cleague 25, how much are you looking for? Do I think you're worth that much? Probably not So I'll come back to you Bork Fine with giving you something like that Roosa line in again fine with these guys just getting like little deals here and there Are you worth a mill? Absolutely not What's your potential? Top nine forward. I'll give you a year at 800 K And we'll go from there. We'll talk about next year Davies Not all Fonzo sign him up Fitzgerald sign him up Okay, now UFA's anyone big that we want to bring back. So we got Kyle octopus octopus. Oh, I'm fine We're bringing him back for a year at 1.6 Our captain Vinnie and Astroza one year at that two way. Yeah, a hundred percent Ryan Reeves You know what? We need some some grid on this team. We'll bring back Ryan Reeves Ploot will bring you back as well Are there any goalies with expiring contracts Malcolm Subin? We will definitely bring back for the AHL who at a mill would definitely not been Bishop We're gonna release. We'll probably release you as well Malcolm Subin. No offense Any RFAs and gold tending? No. So gold tending is all sorted out. Let's sim a day See who says yes says no Octozo's back Aspen's back Vinnie and Astroza wants more money Okay, Dylan Cousins is coming back with the team Bjork's coming back with the team Ryan Reeves wants more money Ploot wants more money Fitzgerald is back Murray is back Davies is back Russelinan is back. Okay, so there you go We still have players that do want contracts. We got a Simon Dahl Lee next year as well So we will do that So look in here our first overall pick. Where is he? Where is our first overall pick? Halton and this was our first overall pick Do we think he's ready? You know what? We're gonna sign him up play him in the AHL three years sent him to and sign him to an entry-level deal Ploot wanted some more money One year Do I want to give you a mill and not really so I'm definitely fine with releasing you my friend Vinnie and Astroza wants more money. You know what? I'm good with that. We'll give you maybe a two-year deal He wants more than nine seven five, which means 950 let's I don't know if we offered him that I honestly can't remember Malone will bring back We'll bring you back. These are just guys that you know, we need contracts on the team We're bringing them back for a year or whatever. So Ryan Reeves says he wants more money. So he wants to be on a one-way We'll throw him on a one-way if he gets claimed off of waivers, you know, it is what it is give him one-year deal There how much cap space we have left with 20 million cap space left. So these guys aren't really anything to really worry about I'm just gonna quickly offer all these guys contracts and I'll get back to you guys when that is done We're gonna give Clegg a three-year deal at 1.6 See if he accepts a that dollar amount other than that I don't think there's anyone that's really like wanting money. That's a key part of this team right now So again, I'll give back to you guys once I'm done offering all these contracts, which I'm actually done doing. Wow All right, let's advance the day. So he says yes, Vinnie hint of stores. I want more money. Okay, buddy Ryan Reeves is staying Clegg is staying all these guys are staying for the most part and our first overall pick has been signed So who is left that said no We had 19 mil left. So there are some players that we can maybe sign Do we want to sign like these kids in 19 years old a lead potential like Interesting. Okay, I kind of do want to sign him see what he's all about But maybe we'll give these kids a couple more years and talk to them when they're 19 Vinnie hint of stores I want more money. So he's gonna want a one-year deal. We'll give you a one-year deal Hopefully, you'll take a mil if not like you're gonna walk my friend, right? And then Prisky, maybe I didn't offer you a contract. Maybe I did I'll give you a little bit more money there And then everything should be good in terms of that So those guys are signed up now looking at the coaching staff Are we able to start hiring coaches? It does not look like it Just resign coach. Okay, so we'll resend the associate coaches not a problem These coaches need contracts so they're gonna get the contracts We could probably get a better goalie and assistant coach actually so I'm gonna fire the assistant coach here I'm gonna fire the goalie coach and Ahl's whatever we're gonna have to sign some more scouts as well. Okay, so that's that We just got to figure out our front office. They are kind of thing Okay, so you these giving me some attitude, I don't know what that's about you're definitely not getting a head coaching gig So I don't know who the hell you're talking to We'll hire back Brendel or you know what is there anyone better? We'll bring in lad Andrew lad Let's give him some money here Six years Andrew lad come to the Buffalo Organization and that means that we should be good to hire some coaches So let's go hire coaches before we look into any free agency hiring. Okay, so hire coach What is available and there's some good coaches available. So Dupont is looking pretty good a plus a plus a minus a plus a a plus the team 57 overall fair 45 63 was he 57 63 64 67 so we're looking at Lang Lang Lang loss a plus a minus a plus b a minus b plus b minus So we'll take him. We'll sign him to maybe a four-year kind of deal We'll give him three four offer contract Okay Now we're looking for an associate coach and this guy it was 57% this guy's 68% Oh, he's a head coach though, right? Or is this guy? No, okay? So Jude and Cohen is gonna come in as an associate coach We'll do four years as well. We'll bring them both in for the same amount of term and that's that okay So that's coach is done. We'll have an associate coach. We'll have a head coach. We need an assistant coach So let's go and do that Higher coach we need an assistant coach and grow roll Let's see. All right, so someone associate associate like maybe we can hire one of these head coaches That have decent little team fit so 67% Leclerc maybe Could be someone we'll give him an associate coach role We'll do a four-year contract as well and we'll give him 3.5. Let's see if he's gonna take that dollar amount We actually don't know okay, so coaching staff Offers have been sent out. Okay, so now look at a free agency who is available with the 19 million dollars we have in hand Okay, so we got a rope a hints we got Vladimir Teresenko, Ryan O'Reilly, Pavelsky, Klingberg Orlov, Jordan Stahl, okay, so realistically we have 19 mil We want to bring in a free agent that is probably young someone like a rope a hints Do we want to spend 10.1? This is the issue now is who do we have to sign next year? We're gonna have to sign Rasmus Dallin who I kind of just want to see if we're able to Sign him now. I don't know if we'll be able to but we are gonna have to sign Rasmus Dallin Okay, so let's see what we need to sign. It's gonna be Olsen. It's gonna be we're probably gonna let these guys walk It's gonna be Dallin. It's gonna be Owen power. It's gonna be Yoki Haru It's gonna be a middle stack Krebs like these young players are gonna need contracts now Dallin offer contract extension He's not looking for too much man. Okay, so I want to lock him up to an eight-year deal I will gladly give him seven five if he accepts seven five that'd be great Let's just get some of these contracts out of the way. All right, we'll do seven five five for Rasmus Dallin Owen power. What is he looking at right now? He wants money dog. He wants money and he knows he's a good player Henry Yoki Haru Wants some decent little money Casey middle stat decent little money paid in Krebs Maybe he's someone we talked to now. Maybe we let the season go on for him Owen power Man, all right, we're gonna wait for Owen power dude, but he wants upwards of 10 So that means Rope hints is probably not a viable option to sign in free agency Even though he's one of the top young players to be signed at the moment. Okay, so Who's available? Dave Severson. We don't really need the fence man I get Rope hints would be just a great little contract to bring in but at 10-1 I don't think we can afford that bull whore about a 28 still up there 27 for barbyshev Nick Bonino 23 years old He's definitely someone we could take a shot on Is he an RFA? I hope not. We'll give him we'll give him a two-year deal at 1.2 and see what he does with that So no see again. So we got a look at UFA is here Ethan bear is interesting, but again, we don't need defenseman 26. Pavel Zaka is interesting He had a pretty decent season I think Pavel Zaka would be a good contract to bring in for a couple years. So let's do three six Again, UFA we need RFAs here, man. All right, let's just do this easy way. Let's do RFAs And let's see who is the youngest RFA players here or no Yeah, RFAs no RFAs you got a Yeah, we need UFAs here. Okay, so UFAs and Let's go to overalls and see who's available here. That's that's young, okay So again, we're looking to bring in some young guys here barbyshev 27 like still a little too up there 26 Ross Colton wouldn't be a bad show Three years at 2.3. I wouldn't mind or we could do two years at 1.8 So let's do two years at 1.8 or 1.775 for Ross Colton I think that's a good little contract to come and bring in Michael Bunting is someone that's interesting Do we want five years at that dollar amount? Probably not The Nato could be someone you bring in for a year, maybe we just got a nice and decent players up there Ryan De Nato, maybe we pass on that 26 Gamble top six mediums the fourth liner Andre Kasha 27 No, we're really young out here. We'll take a shot of Valmaki. Maybe Top four defensemen Yeah, you know what we could take a shot of Valmaki. We'll give him a three. Let's give him a Two-year contract at 1.9. See if he accepts that Souter 27 we could probably wait on that 25 for Tyson Joss Maybe kind of try to revive his career. We'll give him a one-year deal at one mill Other than that, there's no one really goaltender. We probably do need a backup goaltender So if we can do that, that'd be great. Do we want to bring back Craig Anderson? Maybe he's someone that we do bring back Let's bring in you know what let's bring in Jonathan quick Give a little veteran presence to mill for Jonathan quick there. Are there any young goaltenders in here that we could probably pick up? Mackenzie Blackwood had an okay year last year when you joys II Decent little guy. I kind of want to see what you PL can do for this team and maybe we'll talk about goaltending next year So other than that, I think I'm pretty content with that Maybe this is someone we want to bring up. We don't know. He's a potential starter You know I give him a little three year give him a little two-year deal See what he does and the miners and then other than that. It's looking okay. Dostal Doesn't look like anything too special there again to bring in someone like rope a hints man I I don't think it's something that we can do with a dollar amount that he wants as much as I would love to bring in a rope a Hints, it's just not gonna be possible. Okay, so I think those are good contracts to bring in Let's see what happens here I've any hint of strolls that we want to keep on and hold on to him. We'll advance another day. Oh Lecler is the head coach For the abs. Okay, so is that who we offered? Is that who we offered to be the head coach for this team? That's what I am a little worried about. Okay, so He was he was the head coach that we wanted and he's going elsewhere. Unfortunately. Okay, so Let's go back here. Who's a coach that can potentially fit in 45 63 67 for Lang for Lang loss So we'll give him a contract. I want to give him a four-year. Let's give him the money that he need Oh, we only have 3.9 to spend on him. Hey, is that all we have really? Let me see I think 3.9 is the max we can go for this guy. Oh, no, what am I talking about? I don't know. That was weird. Okay, so let's go to 4.2. We'll give him a contract We wanted to be the head coach. Let's see what he could do. He fits the team pretty well So we're hoping that he could be a guy that comes in and helps this team just kind of Progress well not that we want to like necessarily do good and win we want to progress well So Andrew Ladd is coming in as a scout. So that's pretty cool. He's welcome into the Buffalo organization Lang loss. I'm going to reject you have not offered me as many years. I'm looking for okay So we're gonna have to go back to Lang law. I was going to accept your contract, but it's already full Cowan, okay, give me a second here. Jonathan quick is coming to the Sabres Tyson Joss is declining Your roster is full with no more room. Oh, okay. We do not have a lot of room Ross Colton's coming in. That's good Pro Stov's coming in. Okay, so that's good a couple guys. We didn't get because our roster is full which is interesting Let's go look at our coaching staff Um Who was it that said that the roles already filled it was Lang loss, right? We want him to be that this was the guy that we wanted to be the head coach. Am I correct? Right, so we want you to be the NHL head coach You want six years will give you six years gladly we'll do 4.2 again He just didn't want five years. He wanted the six will give him the six not a problem All right, so 4.258 is what I offered him the first time around we'll do the same thing there We do need a an assistant coach, I believe So let's go do that Assistant coach who's someone that would fit into this team pretty well 57 57 52 64 Okay We'll do assistant coach. We'll do four years and we will give you the money that you want my friend There you go. All right, so that's all good now quickly looking at our team I just want to see what the team is gonna be looking like that we ice those players that declined couldn't come in because we have Full contract spots. All right, so centers here We have Tage Thompson Dylan Cousins Ross Colton and Middle Statter, right a couple that can play the wing left wingers One two three four right wingers one two three four Yeah, one two three four defenseman one two three four five six, okay, so we don't have to go out and get anyone else It's good. We're chilling. All right, so let's just sim see if the coach just say yes laying loss is going to another team So that hurts Rasmus Dallin is renewing his contract with us. So that is huge I feel like we got him at a pretty good dollar amount there now back to the coaching staff we need a head coach guys and The people that we wanted have said no. All right, so 57% 57 64 so let's go 57 He wants four years Give him the money man. Give him the money will give him a million dollars more than he actually wants We'll give him four four. We just need a coach to land here in Buffalo like plain and simple we'll give him four two four two four and Hopefully he will come to Buffalo as we do need a head coach pretty badly here. Okay, so advanced today Lang loss has said no He's decided to go somewhere else Cowan is coming to the team as an assistant coach. So that is nice to see And we're waiting on one more coach Kessler has decided to go with another team at this time So we are struggling to bring in to bring in a head coach, which is actually crazy to me I can't believe that like how are we struggling to bring in a head coach right now? I'm not too sure but we need one badly and Kessler might be the guy and hopefully he will Accept this contract offer. All right, so Kessler We don't have much budget left remaining here, but we need it. We need a head coach here, man We need a head coach. Let's give him four two Or let's give him four four. I don't even know if we could all right I don't know if we have the the monies for it, but we will see when the time comes for four We need a head coach Badly here in Buffalo that can help these young guys progress. Well, all right, so we're getting some trade offers waiting for a coach and He's going to Tampa. So we're struggling to bring in a coach. No one wants to head coach these Buffalo Sabres for some reason Which isn't good man, we need a head coach and all the good head coaches are actually gone now We're probably gonna have to go with someone like him 58% Parrot He's an associate coach. This guy's an actual head coach Maybe we go with him. We'll give him a two-year deal head coach. We'll give him 2.2 mil They're not 2.2. We'll give him maybe 1 9 I can't believe that we're struggling this hard to find a head coach for this team This guy's not gonna be here for long So we're gonna give him a two-year deal and then we do need a goalie coach as well apparently So we will do that as well. Let me go hire a goalie coach quick Defenseman defenseman goalies 54% this guy's 57 so let's go with you. We'll do a three-year deal and 900k and That should be all our staff ready to go if they both accept and hopefully they will both accept man All right advance the day advance another one Okay, so we got a head coach Alexander Lebel is coming in for two years at 1.9 mil to Coach this Buffalo Sabres team. So that's cool. We're just waiting on the goalie coach now And it's already filled apparently so we're good on goalies then we're good on goalie coach We're good. We are going to sim it to next season and Next video will be the start of the 2023 2024 NHL season. All right boys, so we're getting some trade offers here Nothing that's really intriguing to me Tyler Myers at six mil. Absolutely not Nick Letty No, we don't need defensemen. We need forwards if that's what you guys are gonna offer me Sergei Bobrovsky at that dollar amount is not something we're looking for and Astroza for picks not something We're looking for Ok pozo for a second and a seventh. We'd be giving up a third in ok pozo We get a second for this year though. We'd lose a third for next year National's a good team though. Like the second isn't gonna be a high overall second We're probably just gonna decline but it's good to see that ok pozo is getting High enough picks like that. So that is promising for trade deadline Wrist the line and not looking like someone we want to go after And we were heading into the season all about wants to give up their second penestrosal A lot of people in here in Astroza knock pozo, which is interesting So let's quickly we're gonna set up all the lines and then we're gonna quickly end the video and head into the next one Where we will start the season. All right, so first line a taged Thompson skinner and tuck Looks good to me reuse this line is getting a minus one paid in crabs over here on that fourth line I kind of want them on that third Ross Colton is Dedicated center cousins. Maybe throw cousins on that first line and then throw paid in crabs up here and then throw Tuck here and then throw a proposal there. Maybe And that kind of works out maybe throw a middle stat at the center and do that Maybe a splint playing fourth line minutes is not ideal, but it's something that we're gonna look at there Defensively Darlene we got power on the second line Darlene Okay, yeah, I mean this is what the team is gonna be looking like guys It's not gonna be great. I want you PL to be getting majority of the starts But that is what the team is looking like captain wise if no one's okay So I'll pose will still the captain which is cool But he might get dealt at the law at the deadline. Okay, so everything's good there start of the season is here We're gonna end the video here and hope that the Sabres will Not only tank, but that our younger players do get upgraded where they need to be So now halting in this is our first overall pick. I want them on that first line for sure So everything is set up good for next episode and that is where we will catch you guys next video. I'll see you guys later. Peace
