Sabres and Habs at Trade Deadline

Created by: RoadRunner72
Team: 2018-19 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 19, 2018
Published: Aug. 19, 2018
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The Sabres have a strong year and find themselves in the hunt for a wild card spot in February. However they still need some veteran depth to stabilize a shaky defense....assuming Hunwick or Bogosian is not working out or has injury issues.

Sobotka becomes expendable when Alex Nylander finds his way to the big show later in the season.

Habs are looking to the future and collecting prospects and picks where they can. Brendan Guhle is the preferred left defense prospect the Habs would target in trade, another possible option would be Will Borgen, a right D-man at St. Cloud (NCAA)

We just traded Pu & no 1sts for Skinner,
who is WAY better than Petry

He’s alright...
but if we give up Guhle & a 1st for him,
I’ll be pretty p!ssed

sabres certainly won't be giving up their first. highly unlikely that the sabres are close to playoff spot this season

The Skinner deal should make everyone ask why was the price so low. I suspect there's something non-hockey-related or that he's a lockerroom issue. Clearly, for the Canes, they felt this was addition-by-subtraction.

What I can't figure out is why would the teams wait to make this deal? If it's worth doing, why wait? Teams gel better in training camp than after the all-star break, so get the fixes in place now.

No way in hell they’d move Guhle at this point. Also Beaulieu and Scandella over McCabe, rofl no

False. They’ve made massive improvements while teams around them have gotten worse. They won’t challenge Toronto or Tampa but theirs more than 2 playoffs spots available. If Hutton and Ullmark give them a league average performance, which they are fully capable of, come February the Sabres will be in the hunt.

I think this is right. If you gave me a crystal ball and said "guhle has taken a step backwards and the sabres are almost certainly going to be in the playoffs" i would consider it. The much more likely scenario is we can see the last wild card with a good set on binoculars on a clear day. Im not moving this package for that. More likely a lesser package for a straight up rental.

I'm sorry, but the sabres aren't trading a 1st and/or guhle for that.

I think the package you’re asking for is more like what Trouba would get
Again, Petry is good... just not THAT good

I guess we’ll have to wait & see though

I'm not asking for the package. I was just saying any of these deals should be done now, not later.

I agree they won't give up their #1 pick, but there's no excuse for the Sabres to not be competitive this year -- none.

Gotcha
I think the reason teams wait is bc they can’t get the deal they want now
And the hope is that teams will pay more at the deadline bc of desperation, etc

I think a defenseman like Petry probably gets a 2nd and then another pick or decent (not top level) prospect
