Domi for 8th Overall

Created by: OldNYIfan
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 3, 2020
Published: Jul. 4, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The main trade is from an idea presented by sabertooth12, who also suggested working Cozens in at #2 RW and putting Mittelstadt back on the horse at #3 C -- all of which I like.

Del Zotto and Irwin provide a bridge to Johnson and Samuelsson.

The Sutter trade acquires a second and assures $8 million in the bank to sign Dahlin and Jokiharju next summer.

How much better is Domi playing in the center than players like Tierney or Kerfoot? It seems to me that Tierney and Kerfoot are better at defending, we need a more defensive center, maybe Domi will score more points than these guys, but I probably would not want to trade #8 for Max Domi.


His analytics and goals above replacement are great. Fantastic at generating offense, below average defense, but it makes up for it.

It would take Domi 2 season to do what Kucherov does in one. Hardly see how this applies to this but for googles I’ll play along. Kucherov is an elite / superstar. Domi isn’t even a top 50 player. I wouldn’t give up much more than a 2nd and a good prospect for him.

Problem is teams like Buffalo need to figure out what they are doing. Are they winning now or building for the future? If they need to win now a guy like Domi doesn’t fix that. I’d rather get a guy like Danault either trade for him for sign him next year. Players like him are better adds. Danault Is closer to an 8overall than Domi


I disagree. They are 2nd line center away from being a playoff team. 9 years of losing and being desperate to improve are baked into this deal on the Sabres end

Last 2 8oa picks were Boqvist and Caufield . This year Rossi is projected to be available at 8? You don’t think that kid can put up 50-55 points by 21-22? He was the best center coming out of the OHL. If you want to trade him for Domi that’s fine but when it looks like Erat for Forsberg people in Buffalo will likely be way more upset. You are so worried about them being good next year but it’ll take more than Domi for that to be true... most of Buffalo issue are player development or terrible trades. ROR might be the worst trade in the last 10 years


The Sabres are most likely looking at Holtz, Lundell, Perfetti at 8 which is a meh for me as a Sabres fan compared to Domi on like with Skinner and Cozens

My latest proposal had the Sabres trade Okoposo (2000000 retained) + Hutton + 8th OVA + 2021 2nd for Domi + Mete + 2020 3rd. Then with the caps savings on Okoposo the Sabres sign Dadonov and line up

Skinner-Eichel-Dadonov
Olofsson-Domi-Reinhart

And it was still argued that Domi is not worth 8th OVA.

This is the problem, we need a more defensive center. I would target a player like Cirelli if he is available than Domi. Even Tierney, Zacha or Kerfoot could be a solid boost. If Skinner doesn’t play again with Eichel, then he needs a more defensive playmaker center, he did well in Carolina playing with Derek Ryan and Victor Rask, and they are far from the elite, just guys who do their job well.

I think Cirelli will be harder to get, but you are right about Skinner. In this case, Domi is a short term 2C and moves to wing when Cozens is ready to step in, by that point you would hope Cozens has reached his 2 way potential and can be that 200-foot guy. Elite 2-way Centers are hard very hard to get in NHL outside of drafting, unless you are the St. Louis Blues
