Fifty points for not trading Andersen to a team that doesn't need him for a 1st.

If Cernak would sign 5x3.85 TB would find a way to keep him.

Sabres trade 86 goals the last 4 years for 83 goals the last four years at ~double the cost, move 7 spots in the draft and add Jokiharju. Seems unlikely for a team with an internal cap in the mid 70 mil range.

That said. Eat enough to get Marner to ~8 mil, take back Montour instead of Jokiharju and don't swap picks and the Sabres are in...

Tampa can't afford it, sergachev and Cirelli are more important and if they keep them they have no chance to sign Cernak at anything over 2.5

Marner has 291 points in 300 games
Reinhart has 255 points in 400 games
By the time marner hits 400 games he will likely be at 390+

Marner would do more for buffalo than Reinhart

Montour is worthless essentially there would be zero incentive to do the deal if joki isn't in the deal.

Wow. Exactly.

Not going to debate the value of the deal, but only bringing up goals when discussing Marner's value is fairly disingenuous as Marner's strength is obviously the fact that he's a top 5 playmaker in the league.

Marner has 208 assists in 300 games. He has 291 pts in 300 games.

You are right, thank you for the correction, I looked at the wrong column on the chart

Liljegren isn't worth anywhere near that.

Sounds like a player to keep! Buffalo isn’t interested in paying a player that makes more than Eichel especially in this offseason.

Let me say this in a way a leafs fan would understand, buffalo isn't trading 8oa, eichels best friend, and our soon to be top rhd on an entry level deal in exchange for a future cap crunch that warrants moving more of our core players.

Awwww they are best friends? That settles it, no business decisions will be made because they are best friends.

what I meant was buffalo isn't going to do anything that makes eich less happy here lmao

i choose to believe the 8th overall pick is eichels best friend.

not the player they end up picking, just the pick itself.

double post

Don't star players get happier when more productive players join a team?

Then keep Marner.

You think adding Marner is going to make Mittelstadt a 40 goal scorer?? Tage Thompson?? Okposo?? Kahun??

If Montour is useless makes trading Jokiharju even worse.

At least you didn't trade Frederick Andersen...

He can make then minimum 20 goal scorers each. I don't mean he is useless in the sense of no use but he doesn't fit our needs, he isn't defensive enough. I think he is good just not as good as we need.
