Sabres

Why is everyone trying to trade our best forward for futures

Also is Jiricek even worth Mitts++?

Thing is….
even if the Sabres did wanna do this, Jiricek is likely an “untouchable” from CBj point of view

Jiricek is a HELL of a prospect to be fair
But your point is well taken
I think the Sabres fans on here that keep trying to trade Mitts away are gonna need to start accepting the likelihood of us signing Mitts to a long term deal

yes he is, Jiricek is a top pair dman

Its not that we want to trade him, hes the most valuable and tradeable asset. If you move Kulich and Savoie, youre not getting full value for them based on their projections. Mitts has done it so the value is engraved in his stats. if they move prospects theyre way more likely to get burned in a trade. It makes way more sense to move Mitts at his highest value than a prospect at mid value

Ok, but here’s the thing….

While that may be what YOU would do,
in reality, Sabres are VERY LIKELY to lock Mitts up long term
