Not nearly enough going to the Blues IMO

Maybe change the Buffalo pick to 2021 and top 10 protected.

They aren’t in strength position, they must shed salary out and no one will take on contract like Allen or Bozak or Steen without a sweetner. Nost of the team next season will be in a cap crunch situation. With Perunovich coming up in a near futur and Scandela signing Dunn look like the odd man. I am sure St louis will make all they can too keep Pietrangelo.

That would be some awful gmimg by Armstrong

Dunn will get north of 4 mil and would cost alot more than that, even with you taking on a cap dump.

No this is the trade! You won’t get Domi and a top Prospect for a outside top 10 pick. This gave Buffalo two Nhl ready players and one of them is a proven top 6 center which they most needed. Eichel want to win now not in 4 years and if Buffalo keep missibg the playoff Eichel will walk just like Tavares did in NY and that would be catastrophic for them. Since they can draft at number 8 ( Nylander, Mittelsatd and Ristolainen) they are better with a proven players that enter is prime and a young prospect forward who can step in a bottom 6 role

Marcus Johansson first time playing center since 2012 30 points in 60 games. 41 point pace.
Max Domi 44 points in 71 games 51 point pace. Definitely not worth 8th overall.

People doesn’t know nothing about the game around here. Dunn have been use in mostly offensive mission and was the 5th defenseman in St louis. He was use 16 minutes this year and only Gunnarson and Bortuzzo who where alternate where use less then him. I no case with those number he will get near 4 millions. By is use and production he will get something between 2 and 3,5 depending on the term that will go with the deal. Dunn haven’t prove nothing yet, he is a great young players but that stop right there

In the past 5 year Domi have been the 67 most productive forward around the entired Nhl, he have had a better Ppg avergae then Reinhart. By that time you Marcus Johanssen rank 141 and was not even close to Domi number. In the past 3 season Domi have been at the same spot at 67 so he is a very steady and productive forward.

But as people said countless times, the Peguals are giving Adams a small budget. They need cheap contracts the 8th overall pick in a great draft class will fit the bill.

Who is the top prospect I wonder?

Lindren is one of the weaker backups in the NHL
Poehling is 1 month younger that Mittelstadt and his production is no where near the production of Mittelstadt (who is seen as a bust may many).

Poehling might be a 4th line centre in the NHL (I would not consider that a top prospect)

Poehling
36 AHL games 13 points 0.36 ppg
28 NHL games 5 points 0.18 ppg (3 of those 5 were in his only game in 2018/19)

Mittelstadt
36 AHL games 25 points 0.69 ppg
114 NHL games 39 points 0.34 ppg

This deal is basically Max Domi for the 8th overall pick and thatis a NO

The Peguals aren’t giving a small budget, they want to win and they want to win now. The PEGULA are the owner in fact and they have plenty of money and they would make this moved to improve this team in a heartbeat

Reinhart, Olofsson, Kahun, Montour, Ullmark, Thompson and Mittlestadt are all RFA’s so that will be costly. Plus Elliotte Friedman said due to firing basically everyone the Sabres want to be significantly under the cap.

The difference between Poehling and Mittelsatd is 17 spot in the draft. Mittelsatd is supposed to be a high end talent, Poehling was drafted to be a third line center and that what he will likely be. Mittelsatd is terrible in all the game aspect, so if he is not scoring at a high pace he is useless, Poehling is a better 2 way players, he can llay PK, good on the forecheck, got physical aspect in is game, he will be a efficient third line players. Every good team have those depth players that fill a big role in their respective team but you aren’t aware of that for sure since its been over 10 years si ce Buffalo had some

Mittelsatd and thompson won’t make a millions and the Sabres have plenty of cap space even with Domi acquisition. They have a couple of guy they can move there no money problem for them.

No one ever said Marucs Johansson should be traded for the 8th overall pick.

What is that 67th in points argument for? Is that in total points? Because then the argument makes no sense, as players like Pettersson are not even in the league for 5 years.

Last season he was 124th in points per game in the NHL.

Victor Olofsson had 2 points less than Domi but in 16 less games. And I don't hear Buffalo fans yelling around that this makes Olofsson worth the 5th overall pick

That a fact that he have been a steady point producer and your are just pissed because your team suck so bad and you are desperately in need of attention. Domi have been one of the most reliable forward around the league. Everyone can have a good season and look great bit not a lot of them can do it year after year. Now you will excuse me i will go talk to people who know a little about the game i just don’t want to waste any more time with your kind

At the moment he is far away from being an above average 3rd line Centre as he is more of a 4th line centre at best at the moment. Last season he was on pace for a 6 point season. I would expect more from a 3rd line centre. Poehling is kind of on a pace to become a Freddie Gauthier type of player. Not terrible, but also without any real value.

Reinhart will cost 6.5-7 Kahun 2.5-3 Ullmark 2.5-3, Olofsson 4.5-5 Montour 4.5-5. That’s a lot of money, I think they will be banking on the younger players this year. Sure Domi would be a nice add, but given the circumstances it’s not realistic.

It was is first year pro and he battle a injury right a the start of the season. Montreal did a really poor use of him he should have been playing in the Ahl all year or at least until he was fully recovered and playing confident Hockey, but still he have shown that he can be a reliable players.

The Sabres could also just try to sign Granlund or Galchenyuk, who have historically a similar production to Domi and Buffalo would actually be a nice opportunity for them, while proably also not being too expensive. Maybe even Erik Haula, even if he is weaker than Domi

Yeah I like Haula strong F/o percentage, I heard he was a nice two way game too. Probably won’t cost as much.

What team do you actually support?

Other players had injuries too and still manage to perform. And it might have been his first season, but he is not 18 or 19.

Steen maybe, but Bozak is a center with excellent analytics and Allen had a strong season this year. Both are a little overpaid, but there will be takers, even if we don't get much back.

It's possible that Dunn is the odd man out, but I don't think it makes sense to move on from Dunn before Perunovich has even played an NHL game. Who knows how he does. Much more likely we move on from another forward- Sanford or even Schwartz maybe- before we move on from Dunn to clear more cap, since we're deeper in NHL level help up front than in the back.

Ya and he's an RFA with a Cup ring already. I have no reason to believe he will settle for less money than Scandella is making (3.275 mil). He is St. Louis' 3rd best D and will be paid accordingly. I think Dunn will either get 3 years at 3.5-4 mil or 6-8 years at 5 mil
