Description

Improved defense and a goalie that can be a 2 with high upside if he can turn it around. This team can be very dangerous.

Trades

BUF

Additional Details:

I dont believe Gibson has a good trade value. With his contract i honestly think it is a negative value. I dont believe it makes since to trade him unless they want to get rid of his contract when they can.

This would be massive in my opinion, Gibson has swept the hurricanes this season and made 51 saves against them the other night...I'd slot him in as the Sabres franchise goalie going forward and that's real scary for the rest of the league if so...hope you don't mind I'm going to make my own offer on this would shake up the already dramatic deadline season massively.

Rosen is an interesting prospect but...no, Rosen and a 2nd and some stuff BUF doesn't want is not enough for two pretty good defensemen signed to term at reasonable deals.

Hawks decline would want a first if you want them both

The value in the Hawks trade is good, but can't see the Hawks trading McCabe and Murphy together in the same deal. They probably get a better overall return trading them separately. Who knows? I guess if the Hawks love Rosen as a prospect than maybe they do it.

Not bad, don't think that 2nd trade is enough. Take out Bryson and add Kisakov/Bloom
