If it weren't for the Skinner deal, the Sabres would be pretty well positioned for an accelerated 2 year rebuild (kind of like the Kings). Lots of good assets to ship out over the next two years, in addition to Eichel.
Starting with:
Cozens 20
Jack Quinn 19
Dahlin 21
Jokiharju 21
G - Luukkonnen 22
Plus several guys drafted in the 30s the last few years.
Load up on D prospects + another goalie and draft forwards and they could have guys emerge/peak at the same time. Presuming of course that Dahlin
The Skinner thing is awful though. Any buyout in the next few years will carry 4.3M+ and 6.3M+ hits in '25-26 and '26-27 (the peak of their contention window if they rebuilt right). The longer they wait to buy him out the better, though it's slightly better if they do it in 2022 than the years before/after.
