Trades

BUF

Savard, David

Additional Details:

Sabres need an experienced top 4 RD to be paired with Power or Dahlin, and Savard will add a bit of physicality to our defense.

MTL

Laaksonen, Oskari

Additional Details:

Laaksonen PP QB RD, he is ready or almost ready to try his hand at the NHL, but Buffalo may not really need a player of this style.

I understand that we have a very weak depth of prospects in RD, there are almost none, only Fitzgerald will remain, but in the upcoming draft there will be many good RDs that Adams should pay attention to.

BUF

Vladar, Daniel

Additional Details:

Buffalo still needs at least one decent goalie. Perhaps the priority would be a more experienced mentor for UPL, but two young goalies could also be competing for a starter place.

CGY

Worge Kreü, William [Reserve List]
2022 6th round pick (BUF)
2023 2nd round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

I don’t know if the Flames will go for such a trade, but Vladar have is too serious a competitor to become a starter in Calgary, and in Buffalo he will have a much better chance of getting more games.

BUF

Connolly, Brett
Johnson, Tyler
2022 3rd round pick (VGK)
2023 2nd round pick (CHI)

CHI

Ruotsalainen, Arttu [RFA Rights]

No chance of getting him at all? Because it is unlikely that he will receive many games with such a Markstrom, and you also have Wolf in the AHL, who will probably play in the NHL in 1-2 seasons.

Sabres shouldn't create competition more than there is already for UPL, sign a vet to condition him so he can condition Levi.

I agree, but this is an alternative option. As we see neither Botterill nor Adams have yet been able to find a worthy veteran who will play well and be healthy. I see no problem in competition between the two goalies. Vladar is a little older, and Levi is only 19 years old. You can always trade an extra goalie if necessary.

MTL accept if they gets a RHD prospect NHL ready at the TDL (exemple Toffoli for Lundkvist). We only have Petry on the right side and losing Savard would hurt (kind of good tho if we want 1st OA lol)

Why is Chicago doing this for a small, undrafted player who hasn't even played half of a season?

Because it's a cap dump?

Why rush Wolf? Vladar is dirt cheap for another season and we need all the cap space possibpe next year. He's been excellent and definitely wont be moved for anything less then an overpayment

Fair, it was just interesting, the point was that maybe Vladar himself would want more games.

He's 24, he hasn't even entered his prime yet.

True, but it depends on the person, and not on the age. Maybe he has big ambitions and wants to be a starter right now, or maybe not, just thoughts out loud.

The trade is so lopsided…. The hawks like TJ. He had good chemistry with Kane and Debrincat until he got injured plus as a rebuilding team without a first round pick, they’ll need those 2nd and 3rd rounders more than taking a chance on this guy’s potential.

To be honest, I am confused. As I saw this deal from Chicago fans. I thought Johnson and Connolly were two cap dumps and Chicago didn’t need these players, in which case the deal doesn’t look one-sided, but if Chicago is rebuilding and you need these players, then yes, this trades does not make sense for Chicago.
