Not a bad idea

Vegas needs a center not a 1 year 9 th top 6 winger rental

Sabres dont need Valimaki and if theyre retaining on Tkachuk they should get something better than that, they arent flipping him though

2 year rental he's RFA after this year but he could opt for a one year contract - which might be the reason Calgary would be willing to trade him - That was the Reinhart situation

disagree, I wouldn't trust Tkachuk to sign long term with Buffalo and one year of retention means nothing to the Sabres - get a 2nd for Smith down the line- That's pretty good but you think we should get more back from a 50% retained Tkachuk and you may be right how about we add Eakin 50% retained and they add Kaedan Korczak and Logan Thompson

Smith is UFA now, qfter this year, lol what?

I meant we flip Smith ASAP, down the line just meant at the TDL - I mean Smith isn't much but I do like Brisson and a 1st - the truth is while I think both Tkachuk brothers are good players I think they are both a little over hyped - If Brady and Matthew magically played for Arizona I don't think that would make Arizona a cup contender- but I agree that the return is a little lite
