Rathbone's a decent prospect but that pick would need to be considerably higher for Ottawa to even consider the swap.

That's not getting you Artem Zub.

Try again.

Poolman is “ok”
But i don’t think he’s got much value

Motte has ZERO value (to us anyways)

Obviously the 2023 1st is interesting
But Tuch is also (assumed) to be named our Captain this summer

Idk that we’d trade him for this package
My guess is no

Vgk easily declines. Gonna take a big offer to take away Stephenson with his delightful cap hit.

It's very doubtful that Vancouver is even making the playoffs. So adding John Klingberg makes absolutely no sense.

The trades for Miller and Boeser are terrible for Vancouver.

Ottawa says absolutely not.

You have a better chance of life being found on the planet mercury than you do the Sabres trading Alex Tuch. There is no scenario that exists unless it is a gross overpay where he gets moved. You have a better chance of seeing Christ

Ottawa has no incentive to trade Zub, the offer for Stephenson is woefully inadequate, and the offer for Boeser is ridiculously inadequate. The Miller trade makes no sense for Vancouver.

No one accepting these.

I think @kingkanuck is hoping Jesus will blind Karmanos into accepting this trade.
Most likely as soon as Rutherford would mention Tuch, Karmanos would stop listening.
After watching Tuch perform since becoming a Sabre, it would take a first, former first round pick and decent roll player.
Watch how he steals the puck from Seider on Skinner's goal. https://www.nhl.com/video/skinner-puts-home-rebound/t-329873922/c-10244959
Earlier he beat Nedeljkovic but he was off side so the goal was disallowed.
In a different period he out raced Hronek to get to the puck rolling into the Detroit zone.
He plays a complete game: size, speed, hard accurate shot and demonstrated all three attributes in yesterday's game.
2022 first, Podkolzin would be a start.
He will not come cheap, as he is a complete package.
Since Buffalo is his favorite team it would need to be a gross over pay.
