I admit this doesn't have much to do with your post, but since you brought up Bennett, as a Blues fan, I've always wanted to see a B. Jenner-B. Schenn-S. Bennett line in STL. I think that would be an ideal third line with skill and plenty of thump.

Buffalo hangs up and blocks your number . Third round pick straight up . Moving a half a round is supposed to entice them to move a player. LOL

Holy crap that kings trade is awful

MTL would propably say yes, I see no reason not to.

That is a massive overpay for Toffoli.

What would you give for him then if u don't mind me asking?

In what way is it awful?

Why though? The Sabres are currently 10 points out of the playoff picture atm, and currently Tampa, Florida, Carolina and Columbus the teams this club is trying to catch for playoff spots are all on pace for 100 or more points, while Buffalo is on pace for just 85. If the final wild card or 3rd in the division comes down to lets say 95-100 points that means Buffalo (51 pts in 49 games) needs to get 45-49 pts in 33 games which realistically means they need to win 20-23 games. From what they have shown this year and the amount of players requesting trades out of Buffalo, I believe they need to be sellers at the deadline, and one player who brings back value is Sheary. BUT that value is not much more than a 3rd round pick. Maybe a C prospect like Eetu Tuulola, or Martin Pospisil. But nothing more.

What do you mean? You are asking for 2 NHL regulars (1 playing on the 1st line) and a 2nd for a decent UFA

Just because Magiapane is playing on the 1st line doesn't mean he's a 1st liner or anything. He's a decent scorer (bout a 35 point guy Imo) and probably belongs on the 3rd line. Bennett is a bust, although he is a physical presence and a pest and while here and there he'll show flashes of his potential he never can put it together fully. So really it's a decent 3rd line scorer, 4th line grinder/power forward, and a 2nd for a guy who is a) A fantastic puck mover who consistently has a great crosi. B) Has Championship pedigree. And C) Is scoring at about a 45 point clip on one of the least skilled teams in the league, and has only recently started getting paired with Kopitar (who he's played great with showing with skilled line mates he can score well), before he had 21 points in 40 games primarily playing with a washed up Jeff Carter and rookie Blake Lizotte. So with Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan for about a 25 game stretch you could probably expect around 15-18 points and an asset in helping this team to get past the 1st round for once, as they desperately need to go on a playoff run if Treliving wants to keep his job, which will probably be on the line if they don't make the playoffs and win at least a round.

The Flames fans seems to really like Cousins lol !

The posters name is literally "KingsLover"
I (a flames fan) dont really care that much for Cousins. Decent depth piece i guess

You can have him for any late pick . Good depth piece . Youth movement in here , i don't see him stay .

That is a crap return that is why. Think e Sabres should make a trade below value to Calgary? You a making Buffalo include a 4th to get a third and the player . LOL

Sheary is a good enough player to get the 3rd rounder by himself. He's a pending UFA so the contract is one a done at the end of the year. Not that there is a ton of interest in him but if the cost was only a 3rd rounder, I got to think teams would be willing to take a flyer on him.

So what should the Flames give up for Sheary? How about 1st round picks from 2020-2022? Is that enough for the almighty Sheary?

He is worth a third realistically without the Sabres having to give up a fourth.

It's called a joke do you not understand those?

You were far from joking . You were sulking. Because your deal was bad.

Ouch. If you're going to the Preds for bottom pairing depth, you've already lost. We need that shored up, not taken away from.
