Buffalo Sabres Be A GM
#91

(Winter, if there's a goalie named Christopher Festarini available I would take him, he's sick in my game!Wink

Finishing up season in this post. I will write as I sim.

So to start. Chicago put up a former first round pick on waivers. He is 3 and a half stars and still has a chance at playing in the NHL. He was rushed way to early by Chicago however and that may of hurt his development.

BUF claims (73) C Marko Vahalahti off waivers from CHI.

I like the guy, he will get first line minutes in the AHL for the remainder of the season and hopefully that is enough to turn him into a border line NHL player. If not I will just keep him and play him down there Tongue ....

As I mentioned above I am thinking of trying to acquire Nail Yakupov in the off-season. Our top six has one sniper in it and thats Mikhail Grigorenko. All the other player's are playmakers and that doesn't work for me. So possibly expect a big trade in the off-season.

Now Montreal just put up a former 2nd round pick. He is also 3 1/2 stars and 73 overall. I think he also has an outside chance at the NHL and decided to claim him. He played in the NHL this season and had decent stats so hopefully that leads to him becoming an actual NHL player. (he's a Brit)

BUF claims (73) PWF LW Nathan Walker from Mon.

(Any Jets fans out there Winnipeg just traded Evander Kane to Detroit for a 1st and some 3 1/2 star player from Japan)

Anyway's hopefully he can become around 77-81 overall.. I gave Frk and Teravainen a little look on the big club earlier this season and put them on my first line to make sure they would get points. Hopefully by next season the development will of improved from past seasons.

(BTW Klefbom is in the AHL this season. He has regressed a ton since I acquired him he's 79 overall now. Usually when I send down regressed players to the AHL and give them tons of minutes they get back to normal, so hopefully the same from Klefbom)

(Winter I was simming through games and your Pancel guy had just got called up, we played NYR and he had a two goal game against us :lol: )

...


Season from there was sooth sailing. Recovered from Shinkaruk's injury and have absolutely no injury's for playoffs..Our Sabres finished the season 48-30-4 for 100 points good for 2nd in the East. Our first round opponent is the Toronto Maple Leafs. They won the cup in the first season and still have the core of the team in place. (Kessel, JVR, Phanuef, Rielly, Gardiner). There starting goalie is Karsten Pankhurst. He's 84 overall. OMG LEAFS ACTUALLY HAVE A GOOD GOALIE.

Anyway's playoffs later today Wink

Sorry for the delay folks Smile ...

Round 1. Against the Toronto Maple Leafs
Series Preview: Toronto has a pretty good team. For once they have solid goaltending from (84) Karsten Pankhurst. If they win this series the main reason will be because of him. They also have a really solid defence with Phanuef, Rielly and Gardiner.
Game 1:

BUF 2 TOR 1

Game 2:

TOR 2 BUF 1

Game 3:

TOR 4 BUF 3

Game 4:

BUF 1 TOR 0

Game 5:

BUF 4 TOR 3

Game 6:

TOR 3 BUF 2

Game 7

BUF 4 TOR 3


Wow, that was a good series. Parkhurst or w/e his name is played amazing for the Leafs. As did Mrazek for us. We lost Ekblad for 3 weeks at game 7 so that sucks. Round 2 is against the Carolina Hurricanes. A team we finished ahead of but they had 6 more points.

Series preview: Montreal is a team with a cinderella story. Their forward group has 4 players over 80.(83)Pacioretty, (86) Leblanc, (81) Foligno and (82) Lars Eller. They will have to rely heavily on one of the best goalies in hockey in Carey Price if they are going to upset the Buffalo Sabres.

Game 1
MTL 5 BUF 3

Game 2

BUF 2 MTL 1

Game 3

BUF 2 MTL 1

Game 4
BUF 2 MTL 0
Game 5

BUF 6 MTL 4 (<Galchenyuk Hatty)

Really nice series. Got the Canadiens out of the way early and now we get a few days off to heal from injuries. Round 3 is against the Boston Bruins

Series Preview: When I say we have the best centre depth in the league, I mean it. That doesn't mean that their isn't a team that is a close second. That team is the Boston Bruins. They have Seguin, Krejci and Bergeron lining up for them. If we are going to beat them we will need to take advantage of their below average defence with 3 players under 80 overall.

Game 1
BUF 4 BOS 2

Game 2
BUF 5 BOS 3

Game 3
BUF 4 BOS 3 (< Were down 2-0 at one point. GALCH 4 ASSISTS!!!Wink

Game 4
BOS 3 BUF 0 (< O SHIT LOST HUBERDEAU FOR REST OF PLAYOFFS!!!Wink

Game 5
BOS 4 BUF 3 (<2 OTS)

Game 6
BUF 3 BOS 2

WE'RE GOING TO THE FINALS!!!!!!!!

































So that was fun. First time in finals for our Sabres. So SCF, we play the Los Angeles Kings. Their team is mostly vets from the cup win from the past season IRL hoping for one last chance at the cup. It's our job to ruin that chance. Smile





Stanley Cup Finals preview: The Los Angeles Kings are a team that hasn't really changed from the 2011-12 SC win. They still have the stars in Kopitar, Richards, Carter, Doughty, Quick etc etc.. They also have had some players develop into usefull players including (85) Jordan Weal and (84) Thomas Hickey... Both teams have great goaltenders and how both preform is going to be a huge decider in who wins this series


So without further ado here is the SCF series between the Buffalo Sabres and the Los Angeles Kings:


Game 1:

LA 2 BUF 1

Game 2:

BUF 3 LA 0

Game 3:

BUF 6 LA 2

Game 4:

BUF 2 LA 1 (<OMG 1 GAME AWAY!!!Wink

Game 5:

BUF 5 LA 2



Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel

THE BUFFALO SABRES ARE YOUR 2017-18 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!

So im thinking of at least doing one more season. As I said I wanted to go after Yakupov. This teams better then they played in the Regular season and they know it. I want another cup next season so I think i'll be making quite a few trades to impove. We've got a sick prospect pool so that shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks for all the congratulations!

This is going to be the biggest off-season we have ever had so be prepared....

Anyway's i'll start with possibly my last draft with the Sabres.

(11) **** Richard Houdek: When I drafted Richard my scouts said he was a 3 and a half star. It surprised me while I was going to sign him that he was actually a four star. That means he has a good chance at becoming a top six forward for us.

(30) *** 1/2: Abraham McKenzie: A Swiss goaltender who is 6'5. I decided I was kind of low on goaltending depth passed Mrazek so I went out and drafted one. Hopefully he can develop into a 80-84 goaltender.

I think the first two picks of this round were two of my best. Both have a really good chance at becoming NHL players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Player progession:

Jonathan Huberdeau 89-90

Mark Pysyk 89-90

Frk 72-78 (Nice)

Ekblad 82-84

Teravainen 69-72

Gilbert Devereaux 70-78 (yay)

Their were some other's but i'll do them later..


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Resigning is going to hurt like a bitch. All my player's want so much that I might have to dismantle parts of the team to even make it close to the cap. Anyway's as I said I wanted to trade for Yakupov. Sadly when I looked at what Edmonton had just resigned him for (9.5) their was no way I was going to be able to fit him under cap. So I traded for another one of their stars. It probably was overpayment but I needed another centre. I don't usually (if ever) trade my first but I think in this deal it was justified.

Before you start criticizing these deals please note that I am going all in and don't need picks. Huberdeau also wanted 11 million. I found a cheaper option in a player with a salary of 5 million.

TO EDM
(85)Zemgus Girgensons
2021 1st
2022 1st

TO BUF
(88)Taylor Hall
(83) Ales Hemsky (Cap Dump)

That also cuts quite a bit of cap so that is nice also. I think I am going to have to trade Huberdeau though.... Anyway's second trade we say goodbye to a longtime Sabre. He hasn't produced whatsoever the last 4 years and as much as I love him IRL I think he needed to be dealt. It also saves around 2.75 in cap.

TO BOS
(86)Tyler Myers
2022 2nd
2023 2nd

TO BUF
(88) Dougie Hamilton

Dougie will be able to fit right in offensively. Him along with Pysyk make a great number 1 PP..So much left to do Undecided ...Next deal needed to be done for cap reasons.

TO COL
(90)Jonathan Huberdeau
2023 BUF 1st

TO BUF
(90) Gabriel Landeskog

Now that salary is their problem Tongue ....Last one cause he wanted 7.5 million.

TO BUF
(90) Mikael Granlund

TO MIN
(86) Mikhail Grigorenko
Preston Fitzpatrick
Mikhael Vahalahti

So obviously a very busy off-season. Decided to kind of blow it up for fun. Still a lot of the deal's were done because I could find cheaper better options out there. I still want to make some trades during the season so I needed the money. A lot of the player's were a big part of the cup win so it's hard to say goodbye, but honestly I think we are a better team now then we were during the cup win...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Free Agency:

(79) Tomas Kopecky 2 years x 1.5 (4th line)
(78) Mike Santorelli 2 years x 700 k (4th line/depth)
(78) Brian Boyle 2 years x 2.5 (4th line/depth)

Obviously we would of liked to keep the team together from last season but money was a big issue. Anyway's it's more fun doing it like this Tongue .... (BTW Colorado hasn't been able to re-sign Huberdeau either :lol: )

Pre-season we went 3-1 ..One of the games we won 10-2 :o :o

Ok, so the team is 20-7 through 27 games for 40 points. We are currently 1st in the league and 6 points ahead of the next closest team (8 in East)...Shinkaruk and Granlund are 1/2 in NHL scoring with 34/33 points respectively. Shinaruk is 2nd in goals and Granlund is first in assists. So far it's been a pretty good season but have key injuries such as Bouillon (2 weeks), Galchenyuk (5 weeks) and Klefbom (7 weeks)..So far that hasn't hurt us at all however and we are on a 7 game winning streak, We were on a 5 game winning streak right before this one. Hopefully we can keep up the success.
