Description

I imagine they get the equivalent of 2-4 2nd picks at the deadline for Hino, Miller, Hagg, Pysyk, Butcher, Jankowski but didn't want this to he one of those 20 trade posts.

Wood adds some grit along with scoring. Lundkvist trade both teams benefit from trading from a position of stupid depth - BUT

Is this a huge overpay for Lundkvist? Feels like it, but I think I'm ok with it.

It's a huge overpay.

Overpayment, and honestly I fail to see what NYR does with yet another winger.

How about Krebs+3rd for Lundkvist+1st. Both of them are former first round picks with high potential and they would fill a certain need for both teams.

Sabres aren’t trading the player that they had to wait 5 months for Vegas to finally agree to trade in Krebs.

Most likely not. Just trying to think of an example that would benefit both, assuming BUF were interested in Lundkvist.

I think they were, but Drury apparently said he was off limits.
