What is this nonsense?

Taking Callahan might get you a 2nd maybe. He's to cheap of a buyout to give that up that much.

Itd be Martinez, Toffoli and the 3rd/4th picks if youre lucky.

Thank you for your comments.


What? You do not like the Sabres taking advantage of every trade?
Getting Toffoli may be better than the player drafted at 7th. Look at how many misses there have been among the top 6 picks from 2014 to 2016. Buffalo may still get a good player among the later picks (Puljujarvi, Juolevi, Nylander, Dylan Strome, Bennett, Michael Dal Colle, Jake Virtanen or Haydn Fleury). Maybe the Sabres could find another 1999 Ryan Miller G 5th, 2001 Jason Pominville R 2nd, 2001 Derek Roy C 2nd, 2002 Dennis Wideman D 8th, 2003 Clarke MacArthur L 3rd or 2004 Andrej Sekera D 3rd. So the Sabres get better players now and picks to restock the prospect pool.

OK, you are correct a mid second would be fair, but the Tampa 2nd is nearly a third, so adding the late 3rd makes it a 53rd over all pick and the 6th is an underpayment for Girgensons. Not much too take on Callahan and replace him with a better, younger and more physical player. If the second was 45th you would be correct, but not 58th.

It all depends how much LAK want the 7th over all. I view Martinez and Toffoli equal a second round picks (Montour only fetched a late first and he is much better than either of them), it would take 4 second round picks (https://www.broadstreethockey.com/2013/4/25/4262594/nhl-draft-pick-value-trading-up) to move up to 7th over all, therefore the 2nd, Martinez, Toffoli, Clague and all of the picks equal 4 second round picks.

Ok I didn't look at that way and it makes sense.
