Interesting deadline deal

Created by: JakobBickle
Team: 2019-20 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 28, 2019
Published: Aug. 28, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Risto to WPG - Salary being $2M in Buffalo's favor may be an issue, but with Laine likely coming on a bridge deal, there should be plenty of room for him + Connor. Also, Zemgus is great depth at $800K.
May be a lowball offer but unsure of Puljujarvi's market right now
Deal with LAK could solidify a top 6 for years to come
Add picks and prospects to continue growing a strong farm system

Let me know what you think - and if any ideas here are ridiculous lol

1. Put Montour or Joker with Dahlin, both are better than Miller
2. Why not just do Risto for Toffoli, fills both teams needs
3. Flames decline that trade makes no sense for them

Joker with Dahlin eventually, but Montour and Dahlin played together briefly last season and I wasn't a fan of their pairing.
I'm not sold that the Kings would be down to commit to 4 years at a cap hit over $5m. Winnipeg has a need and will be looking to compete this year, Perreault helps match salary, Gustafsson + picks will not impact their team now so I could see them going for a deal like that. Imo Sabres are rich with defensive prospects, so swapping Samuelsson for Gustafsson in essence is a win as well. Rob Blake will probably be a big fan of a 6'4, 220 lbs, physical American defenseman, so for me it makes sense for the trades to be separated. As for the Flames, Valimaki is out for the year and they probably need defensive depth. Maybe Czarnik could come back to help salries match there, or another team will want to take on Scandella at 50% cap hit for a late pick. I definitely think a team will see value in him near the deadline.

Cheers.

I just dont see any scenario that the sabres would do that trade with Winnipeg. Even if they are piss poor this year they wouldnt trade risto for d prospect and over salaried bottom 6 guy. 2nd and 3rd pick is a shot in the dark of a kid who might crack the line up in 3 to 4 years. If they trade risto it will be for a player they can utilize now or next year at the latest

a couple weeks ago there was a proposal of Risto for Toffoli that got positive feedback from LA fans. LA needs another RD behind Doughty and their team has always been strong defensively so. He would pair with Martinez which would be great.
As a flames fan i can tell you Valimaki was out most of last year, we definitely do not need a defense that will cost more than 900K, we are looking for a 7th only Kylington was great last year
