Montour

BUF should easily accept this.

This is an interesting offer, Barrie is unlikely that we really need him, he most likely will not get a place on PP1, but if we could get another solid forward for top 9 from another team for him, then I would probably make this deal. Or maybe even him save and trade another RHD.

I'm in. Value favors us, fills a need from a position of strength, and gets us what is likely a late first as well. Meaning we will have moved pick 30 from last year plus guhle for kapanen and pick 25 (?).

That’s what I thought. Certainly would improve on the move you made to get montour.

I didn’t really consider the thought of sabres resigning Barrie. That would make sense too. I can’t see the leafs making this much of an overpay and kappy does a lot of great things for us but this puts us in a nice spot for next season with Rielly/Montour Dermott/Holl Sandin/Liljegren.

At least someone else gets it! I don't know why so many on this site think Sandin and Lily can step in next year and play top pairing minutes. Top 4 maybe but they likely will and should be our 3rd pair. Also, I wouldn't break them up as they have great chemistry and the potential to be our top pairing in a few years if they reach their ceilings. Otherwise, they will be a great 2nd pair with Dermmy and blank as our top pair.... Rant over lol
