Big no from Buffalo
The Sabres first rounder will be top four at worst, and that player could play in the NHL next season (Tkachuk, Zadina, Svech, Dahlin). Svech could even have a Laine type impact.
If the top four is that good.....Absolutely NO way this happens. If I was picking 6-10, or if the NYR were offering something around #8 overall, I absolutely consider this with some tweeks. Matt Moulson has one more year left, Buffalo could easily keep him, and honestly you could also take Okposo, and Bogosian, and it still would not be worth it. Namestikov is good, but not that good that I'm willing to give up a stud like one of those top guys
However, any deal that includes Buffalo's pick being traded is an assrape, buttfuck, and a bukkake on Sidney Crosby's face, followed buy by a slap in the face by the erect penis by a blue whale on viagara
If Botterill did this deal, he would be fired immediately
