Connor to buffalo

Created by: RoyalBlueSabres
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 7, 2020
Published: Aug. 7, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
one big trade and a ufa.

This absolutely obliterates the cap and would likely need to move a vet to create some cap space for this year and definitely for the future. However this team looks pretty good would definitely be fun to watch. Would have 3 solid lines for the first time since nam

WPG declines this. Also don't see the point of acquiring yet another LW for BUF.

The first and Mittelstadt are nice, but Montour holds no value for the Jets and the remainder with Mittelstadt doesn't help the Jets enough to entice them to move Connor.

Not enough value. Connor's too important piece to give up. Same goes for all of their TOP5 forwards.

We could trade you Connor but it won't be quality for quantity like this offer is. We need a top 6 C now, so while the 8oa pick is nice, we don't have the time to develop them properly. We need plug and play.

You want to talk Cozens or Eichel I'd be interested to talk about a deal there, but I'd pass on Casey and Montour if we're talking a guy like Connor being the return. I like that you tried to address our needs, but we're looking more for a 1 for 1 type trade or one where we're adding to get the best player in the trade.

I agree especially after making the team the cap problem is bad. Especially for the future

Hypothetically then what would need to be added cause you're getting 3 1st round picks worth of pieces.

I can respect that.
I thought for the trade montour would give you a top 4 puck moving dman who is not a liability in his own zone. I thought mitss could either be a mid 6 center or slide into a 2nd line wing role and 8oa could be a center but would be a year away. And thought with taking 7 mil off the books it would give you more money for laine long term.
But I agree its probably better for 1v1 swap we just have nobody for that lol

It's not about what should be added...it just becomes a quantity for quality deal that just won't work, as @jimmyjets pointed out quite well.

No, he shouldn't. He's a bottom pairing guy.
