My TDL take on the Sabres

Created by: swinny
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 2, 2021
Published: Mar. 9, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Trades
1.
BUF
  1. Mete, Victor
  2. 2021 2nd round pick (MTL)
Additional Details:
Sabres may get a 1st here (something I still think Bergevin does), but being a but conservative here. Mete has some game - but pretty clearly is falling down the depth chart in Montreal. Should be a good fit on the Sabres bottom pairing. Can skate, move the puck and is young.
MTL
  1. Hall, Taylor ($4,000,000 retained)
Additional Details:
I have to think Bergevin is 100% invested in this season. He has fired a coach, so it may srand to reason if this team misses, he is next. So where the Habs are deep up front, none of them have the ability of Hall.
2.
BUF
  1. Petan, Nicolas
  2. 2021 2nd round pick (TOR)
Additional Details:
Petan is a throw in for cap purposes. In picking up Staal, Leafs waive Vesey, which sould free up the cap space.

Staal comes in likely to play 3rd line - BUT, he xould slide into the 2nd line or it maybe Kerfoot. Gives Leafs options.
TOR
  1. Staal, Eric ($1,600,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Don't see the Sabres doing better for Staal. This is about the draft pick. Period.
3.
BUF
  1. 2021 2nd round pick (BOS)
BOS
  1. Montour, Brandon
Additional Details:
Bruins rumoured to be looking for a blueliner.

Staal would need to be retained to 2m to fit under cap. Moving a taxi squad player with no cap hit does not help fit staal.

Same here, but for that price I would 100% take this deal for a rental like Hall.

Why Vesey goes on waivers. Either with the Marlies or someone else, it clears the space. Can easily send down anither player. Say Barbanov. Leafs can do this rather easily

Petan would not clear space, replacing vesey with staal doesn’t leave enough cap space for Simmonds to return.

So send Barbanov to the Marlies.

That frees up zero as well.

Anyone with an aav of 1.075m or less can be put on taxi squad with no effect to the cap.

I trust Dubas figures it out. It's a Buffalo post lol.

I think a threeway deal with Staal involved could easily be fashioned.

Buffalo eats half getting Barabanov and a 2nd from Toronto, say Ottawa eats another 600K (quick mental math) maybe worth a 4th or something from Buffalo.

The principles remain rather constant.
