Vegas declines

Value is there but for a team that believes they can win now no need to weaken a team to strengthen the future

Make that trade with Philly for Nolan Patrick instead of a throwaway draft pick so Buffalo actually gets something out of it. McCabe probably gets three years $3 million, but if you’re trading Ristolainen away there really isn’t much reason to keep McCabe either. Vegas is in win now mode, they don’t make that trade, Nice idea though. Instead, use that pick to draft a player that will be here in two years making an impact. Beniers, Eklund, or Guenther hopefully.

Value isn’t there tho. We are a cup competing team, sans a Connor McDavid coming in as a rookie that doesn’t help this team, especially when you are giving up on Glass as well

you know that is currently the 1OA pick? to say that is not valuable is........wrong IMO.

as for the second half, that is exactly what I said, not worth it for a team that can win now

The thought with the Vegas trade is a cap move and they draft Power who would be a cheap top 4 LHD to help them on their next couple of runs. Glass is thier 4LC for the foreseeable future and Tuch is a middle six winger so Vegas does not lose much to get that.

According to your lines he is a top line winger

Toss in the fact he is on a great contract and he is producing better than anyone in buffalo (outside of Reinhart and Eichel) it makes it a pretty easy no.

Tuch makes our team better over the next 4 years then Powers could
