If its a top 10 pick, theyll just make the pick. This draft is way to deep

And saad is way to good to take a middle 1st, a cap dump and a career AHL player.

Yea no.

A pick from 12-17 with a good top 4 defenceman plus an AHL player is more than enough for Saad.

Colin Miller is not a good top 4 guy plus we have plenty of defensive prospects that are getting ready to step up on ELCs.

Thats debatable, that middle first could get them a top pair dman or an equal forward this year, cant bank on it but they can also find a steal there at forward. Saad averages 18G 37P a season over his career, thats pretty meh

Colin Miller has been extremely good in his career prior to this year. One bad year doesn't make him bad all of a sudden.

Saad is a defensive power forward not a dynamic point producer. That said, he was playing good hockey last year and even better this year...he's peaking right now for sure on pace for 25 goals. 200 ft power wingers don't grow on trees, especially ones putting up over 20 goals.

Playing on a very good team prior and carrying almost a $4m cap hit now. Don't need to take that risk. Buf has a decent prospect pool, there has to be better options.

Saad can’t even get 50 points, he will have one year left under contract, it’s easily no from Buffalo.

I get not being head over heels for Miller. But the idea that saad is worth a top 10 pick, especially with limited term left is hilarious

Saad is wildly overrated, this trade is really bad for Buffalo.

He's worth what Nyquist or Zuccarello went for at the last TDL and nothing more.
