 All right, Buffalo. It is that time for the trade deadline and I have cooked up some trades of video that I think could possibly go through now I do have one big blockbuster that we will wait till trade deadline day to go make But quickly let me show you some of the moves that I was looking at that I have just down here So the first one being with Detroit, okay? Like I said, we needed a right-handed shot defenseman for that second or third pairing with Henry Yoki Haru comes back So we look at Detroit and they had some decent defensemen here. Eric Gustafson being one of them But we're looking at at Piz check right here mark Piz check He used to play in the Buffalo savers organization So we were looking at him and we were also looking at Robbie Fabry as a debt piece I know we guys are thinking we're bringing in almost six mil four mil for Fabry He's got a year left like let's be real we can definitely try to sign them back next year at cheaper Or we'll let him walk now we can do Piz check in Fabry And we would be giving up one of our second round picks which would be ours not Detroit We're gonna keep Detroit so we're getting rid of Buffalo second round pick And then we have too many players in the organization So we would have to give up some roster player now. I was looking at the highest age We were looking at Davies and I believe it was Bjork Now do I think this would go through? I definitely I don't know it be close So let's see if this would go through it does not go through so they're finding what they're coughing up Okay, your offer To us is feeling needs we have but the value isn't where it needs to be so Maybe we would get rid of Detroit second round pick for this Or we get rid of a second and maybe like a six and keep Detroit second So a second a six Bjork and Davies for Piz check and Robbie Fabry will this go through You know what? Let's see if we can get rid of a seventh instead of a six not that it really matters But let's see if we can do a second and a seventh Trade rejected. All right. Let's try six round pick see if that works out. I have a feeling this won't even go through Let's see trade rejected. Okay, so I Thought that this would be a trade that could easily go through There's no one that I'm really willing to give up on the block here Maybe we can get rid of Petrie there get rid of that second Maybe this will go through now that they have a prospect that they're looking at Davies Bjork a second in Petrie for Piz check and Fabry Trade rejected still. Okay, so let's go Petrie Maybe let's try giving them their second round pick back. Get rid of Petrie get rid of our second Okay, so let's see if this goes through again. I don't think it will but it's very close trade rejected still Okay, so let's stick with us with Buffalo second Bjork Did not mean to do that again. We're probably pissing off the Detroit Red Wings GM Okay, not ideal. So who else is matching their block that we could probably willing to give up? Jonas has a little bit of trade value We don't have a sign so let's see if this goes through Jonas or Jonas a second Bjork Davies for Piz check and Fabry Trade rejected. All right, so we will move on from Detroit for the time being another trade I did have cooked up was with the Calgary Flames. All right, we were looking for someone depth this guy could replace Craig Smith and that fourth line because that fourth line are crazy minuses. So it's Alex Nylander We'd be giving up our seventh round pick of This year, which I am definitely fine with we don't really need draft picks anymore And then we are giving up a defenseman who probably won't crack this team anytime soon Lackison where is he he's somewhere down here just for the roster player I think this is gonna go through no problem So seventh and Lackison for Nylander and that is done. All right, so we have Alex Nylander We tried getting his brother Willie it didn't work, but we have Alex Nylander. So that is good to see there We have too many players up here. I believe so who's on a two-way Savoy he I don't want to get rid of Savoy He other than that everyone's Okay, so it's just the AHL lines that we got a fix for some reason who's who needs to be fixed Okay, so he was playing in the AHL for us, but that's okay. We don't have any okay, so we got a call-up Nylander Let's just put Murray in the spot for now Let's go to roster moves Okay, we need to call up Nylander So we got to bring down someone we could probably bring down Bryson No one claimed him so that's good And then we are going to call up Alex Nylander who's on a two-way we haven't for two years as well Which is good and then Craig Smith essentially is going to get replaced by Alex Nylander and that Fourth line is looking a little bit spicer. Okay, so that was one of the moves that we made that ended up going through Okay, the next one that we have going through is a blockbuster I kind of want to get this trade with his check done because he's one of the defense when we were looking at So maybe we don't need Robbie Fabry in the grand scheme of things. So maybe just a piss check and a second round pick here Buffalo second round pick and Davies and maybe Bjork as well and maybe that goes through all right So let's sort by age again Davies 2876 overall probably not going to use him York's been in the system for a while that we haven't been using so maybe this goes through a Second Davies and Bjork for piss check and that goes through so there is our defenseman that we needed Big trade done with the Detroit Red Wings. So now is piss check down here. That is the question He is not okay, so let's go to edit the ahl lines We got rid of two players that are at least one that was playing for this team Okay, clearly to we have no defenseman right now, which is a little bit of an issue who is scratched here Okay, no, we're good with defensemen. We'll bring in mark Mari Hala Sure, Rooster lineman will go up one and then defensively we have defensemen down here So we'll put in Bryson and then Murray shouldn't be playing there. We will put in Samuelson, okay, so there you go. Ahl is sorted and we have one more trade in the books boys One more trade That will be interesting. Okay, so I'm gonna show you guys it if you guys go look over at Chicago and If we go look at who's matching the block one of them is being Buffalo born boy Patrick Kane Doesn't have much trade value 27 goals 28 assists. He's a minus five Fits the offensive line one power play one and four man power play one now This is a no-brainer to me to bring in Patrick Kane in my opinion now You guys are probably wondering what happens once you bring them in well Kubeleek is gonna move down to the second line, which I'm fine with he's been doing great on the first line He's gonna have a 30 goal season on that second line I think he will do just as well talk will move down to the third. Okay, so We're gonna head to the trade deadline I think Patrick Kane is the big boy move that we will be making and the last move that we will be making Come the trade deadline if he doesn't work out There is another big name that we are looking at as well All right, so we are playing the Winnipeg Jets last game before the trade deadline day And we win that game five to two. All right, so trade deadline coming up Right now and we are a buyer We'll probably say we're a buyer. We're making a big move. We are a buyer, so let's enter the trade deadline Let's see the big names that are on the block right Tori Krug I've improved Rob Patrick Kane drew Dowdy Zuccarello who was the other guy that we were looking at Kevin Fiala Vidic Vanacheck Jeff Skinner Bovillea Kempe, okay, so the Chicago Blackhawks and Patrick Kane do entice me the The Blackhawks are not doing too well, so Obviously, we would have to get rid of our first round pick for this year. I think it just makes sense Okay, and this can go through straight up. I don't know if this will go through quickly We have a trade coming out of St. Louis. They are trading just a fox of the ducks for two prospects interesting Okay, so well this go through right away. I don't necessarily think so. We are gonna try it though a first round pick for Patrick Kane And it goes through Okay So Patrick Kane is Coming home to Buffalo on behalf of the Chicago Blackhawks organization. I accept your trade offer We will see you out on the ice. Oh, that is a huge deal for the Buffalo Sabres we got a trade coming out of Los Angeles Fiala is going over to Chicago Interesting so Chicago making big moves this trade deadline. They are getting a first round pick They just got Kevin Fiala They have copetar So maybe that's why they needed to make that move Maybe we helped them move some cap around getting rid of Patrick Kane We definitely did as they brought in a younger Kevin Fiala. All right So Patrick Kane is now a Buffalo Sabre and the good thing about this is he was making an 8 mil He's declining. Obviously. He's 36. We could probably sign him to a one or two year deal at half of that Salary so I'm happy with that and then I was looking over what we need to do for next year once next year comes We probably need a good right-handed defenseman which we will have the cap for we don't have many players with expiring contracts So in terms of Buffalo, I think we are done. I think we are done making the moves we wanted to make we've strengthen our offense and we strengthen our Defense all right, so we got a trade coming in here, Austin Lin and Lenin for A fifth and a sixth and David Craig each I'm going to decline than that. Thank you Okay, so I think our but the Buffalo Sabres are looking good man Defense is looking way better after bringing the pitch check in 83 overall He'll probably play the first unit and then when Yoki Haru comes back, he'll be playing that second unit. It's looking good though boys It's looking good. All right, so we are done. I think essentially we're done We have not much else that we want to do to this team. We have depth forwards We have depth defensemen Gavricov and a fourth we're gonna decline but like I said, we have depth right now Okay, like looking at this team right now All right, what depth do we have like who is not starting on this team right now? Okay? Engvall We are with Robertson Yoki Haru. We got clay Colton We got Nylander Savoy. He's Zube Craig Smith Jack Quinn Halton and if we need to bring him up Rooster lineman like we have depth. We have a starting team I think we are done come the trade deadline and we're just gonna go over trades the ducks making another trade They are getting Jacob Vorichek from the Kraken for some draft picks interesting there So essentially if there are any big deals that happen through the trade deadline I will let you guys know we still have a lot of hours to go So if there's any big blockbusters, I will cut back and let you guys know if not We are probably done for the trade deadline quickly there the Philadelphia Flyers want to get rid of Provorov They want Austin Lin and Sue Brev. We'd be getting a fifth a sixth and a seventh back Okay, so Provorov. What is Provorov looking like? I'm okay Austin lineman 20s a 72 overall He's a top six forward potential for Provorov who is 28 89 overall left-handed shot We don't need any more left-handed shot defenseman. We have Owen power. We have Rasmus Dallin. This is not a trade that not to say there's a bad trade. It's not something that we need Sue Brev. Okay, so what what what's on our block right now? I'm not really willing to give up any of these guys, right? So let's stop with these trades here and like I said, I'll get back to you guys If there's other any other trade offers or big blockbuster moves happening around the NHL trade alert here Columbus is moving Bovillier and Dumas to the Kraken for Yanni Gort. So the Kraken Pretty active this trade deadline. I'm not too sure what they're trying to do another trade This time coming out of Calgary They're trading a third and a fifth and Matt and Yettle to the Canucks in exchange for Lekker, Mackie and Unger No really big names. They're kind of just some depth moves moving around there for Calgary trade alert coming out of Montreal They are trading Jake Evans and a third round picked the auto one exchange for V Placanic a seventh and who dobin so they want to bring back someone with the last name Placanic clearly Detroit making a move here They are trading Andrew Kopp Robbie Fabry who we were looking at and a fourth round picked the St. Louis in exchange for a second for two seconds So Robbie Fabry did end up moving. He does not come home to Buffalo, but he's moving elsewhere Arizona getting in on the action here. They are trading a second round pick boing to San Jose for a coconut and Comper, so Arizona getting a goalie and a depth piece of probably a top nine forward there Not a bad trade for Arizona the avalanche are at 101 points already. Did I see that correctly? Oh my god That's central. Let me let me see if that's true. There's no way. That's true The trade coming in. We don't want David Creech each you offered me that already that's central Can we check standings here? We can okay? Okay? Okay? Let me see this real quick. Yeah, the Colorado avalanche have 101 points 49 wins already at the trade deadline. Oh my god My god, what is Colorado dealing with we got a trade incoming The jackets are trading a second and a fourth of Detroit in exchange for Jonathan Marshall. So interesting. Okay? What what what what is happening here? What what is the what is it? Who do the avalanche have here? McKinnon Lannis Granton and Bertuzzi new hook Byron the shoes can Gerard McCartren and Kerfoot. Yeah, they got a good team man They got a good team make sense why they have 101 points already the trade deadline has come and gone No other big major moves that I was able to see okay, so let's go edit these lines real quick All right, so we tried sending down Jack Quinn to the miners and he got claimed off of waivers to Seattle So not a deal. We're losing a player, but we needed to call up Alex Nylander. We traded for him for a reason So we lose one of our depth forwards. Unfortunately. It is what it is. All right? So let me go back and edit these lines. So this is what the team is looking like after the trade deadline All right, so we have a first line of Victor Olofsson, Tage Thompson and Patrick Cain, man That is a huge first line to have. Kubelik is now into the second line He will be playing alongside Dylan Cousins and Nino Anita Ryder The third line is now looking like Asplin Middlestad and Alex Tuck and the fourth line of Alex and Nylander Matthew Savoyhi and Pierre Engvall defense. We got Dallin playing with a newly acquired Mark Pisscheck We got Owen Power playing with Ilya Labushkin and then Robertson and Clegg. All right Goal 10ing stays the same way UPL and Elliott and then scratch right now We got Artem Zub, Ross Colton, Craig Smith, Yoki Haru is injured and Peyton Krebs is injured as well So once Peyton Krebs comes in Essentially, we're gonna have to see who's gonna be coming out of this lineup I'm not too sure who it's going to be unlike in the way this team was looking It's gonna be interesting to make that call. Obviously Once Henry Yoki Haru is back Clegg is probably gonna get the boot as he's a left-handed shot playing the right side right now in this lines of minus two Okay, so everything is looking good here in Buffalo We made some big moves and it is time to continue the sim and see Who our playoff matchup is going to be if we can hold our playoff spot So let's send the rest of this month here. See how this team does with the newly acquired players It's a 2-1 win in the trade deadline day win Valomaki interesting. Let's see 80 overall left-handed shot defense man. That's not something that we really need We're gonna decline that waiver option there. Okay, so Picard is able to play it's taken to any Chicago Patrick Kane playing his former team. We win against him own powers injured until March 23rd So that's a huge defense man gone for us again. He's had the injury bug for a while there Artem zoob is gonna come in so this kind of works out there Clegg and zoob Robertson LaBouche game Dahlene Piz check power play We're missing someone on the second line here that got a lot of field and we're good to go Okay, I hit continue there own powers ready to play. We'll give them the week just to be safe Let's hit stop simming We'll go up to the Nashville day and then we will bring in Owen power, right? So go to go to roster moves. It's saying we got to send someone down Because we have too many players which we actually do knee landers down to a 79 We're gonna send him down. He's on the only one on the two way So let's edit the NHL lines. He went down to a 79 So obviously not having a fun time on that line there Defensively the zoo is gonna be coming out here Robertson over there Zube over there and then obviously Owen power back into the lineup with this team Was there someone else that's ready to go? I think there actually is Payton Krebs is back into the lineup. So he made that decision easy for us We need one of these centers to play the wing And I'm not sure who it's going to be Because Dylan Cousins the only winger kuba leaks up to an 85 by the way So he's like in the second line Kane went down and overall unfortunately I'm not sure where to put in Payton Krebs here. Can he play the wing? I don't think he can he can he's a center slash left winger So we could put Someone who plays right wing left wing so maybe put need a rider down here and maybe put Payton Krebs to there and Who has a better face-off ratings when it comes to that? 78 78 they both got the same. I think we're gonna go with something like this maybe No, let's let's stick with this. All right, so now the lines are different We got Krebs cousins in kuba leak if it doesn't work out We can always throw need a rider back onto this line and see what it does I kind of want to keep me to right of there just because have Someone up there with age. Maybe throw Krebs where Asplin is Then we're demoting him to the third line, it's not like he had a okay, you know what? We'll keep it like that for now. Aspins gonna have to play Where he is for now two left-handed shots on that line. All right, so let's see how that does And we will continue sitting here. All right a couple weeks left in this month. Let's see how the savers hold up Rooster lioness her so we'll replace him down there in the minors Let's continue to win some games here where one went off of a 41 season here Well, we get it we will so we are 40 29 and 5 with a couple weeks left We were sitting in third look in a clincher that spot 85 points that were your the senators are a point behind us And then there's a lightning that probably will not be catching us. All right, so look indecent here looking at the lines and everything Kula leaks still out in 85 Kane went up an overall Krebs is still at an 85 So the lines seem to be working here defensively His check man went down to an 80 overall. We really need to get our man Yoki Haru back alia was hurt apparently 9-11 9-11 from both goaltenders. It is what it is. How is our boy? Halton and doing 79 overall. He's having himself a good year there 14 goals 18 assists. All right, so not bad switch back to the NHL We got a week or a couple weeks left of hockey until the playoffs. Let's see what these What these savers can do? Let's see if we can clinch a spot here. We'll go a game at a time All right, Washington Prostev will do that for two loss not ideal Boston here Pro-steves back shirt three to win. We have yet to clinch the senators are still a point behind us Which makes this game very very interesting. All right, so if we win this game, we have a chance to go up Three points Against the senator so this is a big game that we are going to watch and hopefully The savers can come out with a win here. All right, so let's see what our Buffalo savers can do This is a big game that we want to hold the third spot Adam Henareeke will get the first goal of the game, but Asplin 32 seconds later ties it up The senators now have Mark Andre flurry so that is interesting power play for the savers Nothing going there another power play for the savers still nothing so our power play maybe needs some work done We're not too sure there and of one it is a one-to-one hockey game heading into the second It's a close game and a very important game for both teams Brady Kachuk getting a power play goal It's a two-one hockey game Power play savers they score a kuba leak the rookie getting a power play goal power play for the sends we kill it off We're giving up a lot of penalties, which I'm not a fan of seeing Jake Evans makes it a three-to-two hockey game We have yet to hold the lead in this hockey game, but some boy he the fourth liner Ties the game right back up three minutes later We are heading into the third with an even hockey game three three 21 shots a piece Who will be the hero for either team to help a? Team get caught up in the KC middle stat scores. We get our first lead of this hockey game Let's see if the Buffalo savers can hold on and gain a three-point lead up on the Ottawa senators in a very tight Race for that third spot and the Atlantic Division Dylan Cousins makes it five to three and the Buffalo savers We're in this game after pure angle scores an empty netter Six to three hockey game a big two points for the Buffalo savers as we will take a extended lead now over the Ottawa senators all right. We got a game coming up against Columbus. It's a five to four loss Senators are now two points behind us a game against Montreal Victor. All of Saint is hurt until May 5 Man, this is not the time to be getting injuries So pretty much everyone's gonna go up a line here and we are going to bring in probably Craig Smith Or are one of these guys are left-handed shot. Yeah, so we'll bring in Ross Colton Even though he does not play the wing Asplin can go there actually and instead of bringing Colton in we'll bring in Craig Smith. So there we go That kind of works out there, right? Everything looks good there power play saying that we're missing people. We actually are So Victor Olufsen was hurt the game is glitched once more love when this happens here. We will bring in Like I don't know who's not getting used. Maybe we'll put in Patrick Kane into that second line And then before you know what he's probably on the first line Yeah, we don't want to double shift him. We got Owen powers Rasmus Dahlene up there He is so anyone but Patrick Kane here pretty much Right winger. Maybe Alex Tuck would work. It looks good to me Oh, no, Alex Tuck's already playing there and the game again is once again glitch like I this game is So annoying. All right, so Alex Tuck. Let's just throw him pure angle for the time being and We'll worry about it then. All right, so we made changes I like I said, I'd like to need a rider on this line with cousins in the Kuba League Just because they're so young this way you have someone who's 32 to help a 24-year-old and an 18-year-old So Krebs is up with Thompson and Kane Kuba League man three goals off of having a 40-goal season in his rookie year I think it might be safe to say he's gonna win the Calder Memorial trophy. I forgot the name of the trophy for some reason. Anyways lines are good for the time being All right, so 3-1 win. We have clinched a playoff spot. The Buffalo Sabres have done it We have an X next to our name 91 points on the season with a 43 win season We have a chance to get a 46 win season, I believe so let's just sim the last three games of the season see what we can do here It's a 7-4 win. It's a 3-1 win. It's a 4-3 loss. So a 45 32 and 5 season After a tanking the year prior we finished the year with 95 points Which is pretty nice to see Kane finishing with 77 points So look in at all the team leaders right now because I'm interested to see Patrick came with a 77 point season the Cousins was 61 Kuba League with 53 He was three off of getting a 40 goal season with this team But he did lead this team with goals, which was very nice to see. Okay goal-turning wise now UPL ends off the season with a 9-11 say percentage has 37 wins 23 losses 5 OT losses and three shutouts, which is pretty nice to see now looking for the entire NHL here Just to see where everyone finished off pretty much The entire league all right, so who led wins as a goalie Samson off with 46 UPL had 37 tied with hellbuck. So he finished. I think top 10 one two three four five six So he finished tied in sixth place probably ahead of hellbuck because he had one less game played Looking at save percentages Obviously, he's not up there same what goals against I don't think he's up there at all But he is up there for wins, which is nice to see. Okay now looking at all skaters here Who led the league in goals? Austin Matthews with a 51 goal season McKinnon with 50 Ovi with 46 Connor with 44 So our rookie up there with 37 tied with Sydney Crosby, which is actually insane Looking at points point leader Johnny Goudreau with 109 McKinnon with 105 97 for line a any Buffalo Sabres up here Not that I see anywhere close looking at assists who led with assists Lannisgog with 70 Goudreau with 66 again any Sabres up here. Not that I see okay So that is all the individual a stat or stats there looking at the entire league here. All right The Colorado avalanche had a 61 season. We ended up in where are the Sabres? Hello Buffalo did we pass ourselves? We had to have passed ourselves here The Buffalo Sabres finished in 10th in the whole entire NHL a point behind these stars Which is pretty cool to see you did pretty well. Okay now looking at power play percentages. Where did we rank? Just in the Atlantic. I'm interested to see where we we ended off in the Atlantic with our power play That's our point percentage our goals for percentage we finished in Okay, so not great That's for sure. All right. No, that is very good. We finished pretty good In third for goals for goals against average here. We finished in third. So not too bad Powerful goals power play percentage We are don't have a great power play to say the least there, okay and our penalty kill is Third so our power play needs to get better come playoff time Clearly and we will figure that out then. All right, so let's See who our first round opponent is going to be and We are playing the Florida Panthers and round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Oh Brother the the Panthers had a good season 50 28 and 4 Next video the Buffalo Sabres will be competing in the NHL playoffs for the first time since GM leafer has taken over
