Quoting: ChiHawk
I agree but one of the buffalo fans suggested I put it together for the #8 and assets. From a purely value prospective, I don't think this is too far off for both sides.
I love big trades, you did a nice job. I knew Sabre CF GM would hate nearly any trade involving these 2 guys. This is how I see it.
Ristolainen, R for Murphy, C., 2018 1st round pick (NSH), Duclair, A. and 2018 3rd round pick (TOR)
Buffalo loses at RHD, Duclair was on his way to a 22 goal 40 pt season before the trade to Chicago, Murphy is more than adequate and then there is a late 1st.
O'Reilly, R and 2018 4th round pick (BUF) for Saad, B., and 2018 1st round pick (CHI)
Saad did not have great season but he bounces back this is a steal for Buffalo, he is the same age as O'Reilly and there is a good 1st coming back
Drop the 4th going back to Chicago (it is not worth much anyway) and Guhle, Nelson and Pilut who may make the team this year or next year.
I think if you drop the 4th going to Chicago and add Chicago's 2018 3rd, it would be hard for Botterill to pass up. Do you think this is too much?

Yeah I saw that but I don't really us going after any of BUF dmen. Risto will cost way too much and I don't really see Scandella with our team.
We have to start simplifying our trades on this site. Were not gonna see a 8 player blockbuster trade or anything. That being said, I think you could start a deal based around ROR for 8 overall
You are partially correct, Ristolainen will cost too much in the eyes of the CF Sabre GM's. I love big trades it is easier to fine tune the assets. and yes O'Reilly for the 8th over all gets my attention. See how I broke down the trade above. For Risto, a player (Murphy), a prospect (Duclair) and a pick (NAS), For O'Reilly, a player (Saad), a pick (8th OA) and another pick (sort of a low level prospect 3rd) IMO this is really close it appears the Hawks fan like it more than the Sabre fans, but the Sabre fans tend to over value their players. Ristolainen gets all of that playing time (nearly 1/4 of defenseman ice time) because who else do they have?
