Description
So I know Brown would have to waive his NTC and won’t but I feel like the only way the Sabres can get a premium young guy from the kings and a 1st round pick is to pick up some salary in return. You can interchange vilardi for byfield, etc. I just don’t see the Sabres actually getting as much as they should. Most of you will still say the return is too much but 🤷‍♂️

The LA trade is bad for Buffalo. Dustin Brown also isn’t going anywhere and adds nothing for Buffalo,

I agree with the first sentiment that there probably isn't enough in this trade going to Buffalo. Its not going to add Turcotte or Byfield, but it does need another piece or two of value.

Completely disagree with the Brown "adds nothing" comment. He was the top scorer for LA this year and did it playing injured. Even if his scoring drops off, which is likely, the amount of leadership, experience, professionalism, and stability a guy like Brownie brings is something that Buffalo is sorely lacking. They'd be lucky to have Brown in their organization for mentoring guys like Cozens and Quinn.

But for all those reasons, you're right in saying Brownie likely isn't going anywhere. They are why LA wants to keep him.

Trust me I know but this is Buffalo we’re talking about. Jack is worth a lot but bc of how this organization is ran, he’s injury and how he doesn’t want to be here I don’t see the Sabres getting what they should

I think the consensus is that turcotte is better than villardi. I dont think we get both, but i would prefer turcotte plus. Either way this is light.

I agree with you, I just don’t see it happening.

I agree , realistically it should be Walker + Turcotte + Thomas and the 1st this year

Unless Andre Lee is the next breakout star, that is one very weak offer for Eichel
