Ottawa is not paying that.

Way too much.

So Tkachuk is worth more than Eichel?

Sabres just keep him. Zub and BD mean nothing to Buffalo

Bahahahha. This would be the best trade in franchise history.

This is of course way, way way way way too much.

Ottawa's

He’s acting like they can’t just turn around and flip Zub and Bernard Docker for really good returns

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. He’s not even on your favorite team yet and you’re already being a homer about him? Cmon dude.

This isnt about Tkachuk. The Sabres dont need dmen. This has been repeated for months and still its not getting through anyones heads

The Sabres could take those d men, tell them not to report, and this would still be an unbelievably good trade for them.

And btw, ya, the Sabres need d men, badly.

Dahlin
Power
Bryson
Jokiharju
Samuelsson
Johnson
Laaksonen
Novikov

Nah theyre pretty good

That’s like 1.5 good ones. The back end is awful.

Ever heard of Shane pinto? Don’t need centers? Sheesh, Sabres must have been really good over the last decade.

1.5 good dmen? Now i know youre trolling. Pintos fine, but id rather have Tkachuk

Word. You know what a first round draft pick is?

And no, I’m not trolling. One guys in college. And don’t tell me the thought hasn’t crept into your head that if he stays the full four, he’s UFA. Dahlin is talented, but kind of sucks right now. Bryson is okay, but pretty flawed. Jokiharju is intriguing, but not there yet. Samuelsson is thoroughly unknown. Johnson is….well cmon. 15% to be a good NHLer probably. Who the hell is laaksonen? Novikov? Are you referencing a 2021 6th round pick as a reason for not wanting a legit NHL d man? Seriously? No shame with you huh

Bryson is a 2nd pair guy on this roster and has been fine, Samuelsson isnt an unknown, hes played NHL games, played well, and would probably be on this roster if he didnt get hurt in preseason and Bryson won his spot, Johnson is a stay at home dman who would be great for the 3rd pair but even then is behind a big group of players at LD already, Laaksonen has been great in Rochester, not my fault you dont watch them, and Novikov was playing in the KHL as an 18 year old

If novikov is so good, why did he fall to the 6th round? Why did the Sabres pass on him 9 times?

Why did Gaudreau fall to the 6th round. Maybe hes better than they thought. Maybe he is hard pressed to leave russia despite his skill. Couldnt tell you

Maybe. But no one was saying that the flames weren’t in need of wingers because of gaudreau a few months after he was drafted….in the 4th round, btw. Circle back in a few years and that’s a reasonable take if he’s developed.
