Quoting: Lambchopz
That’s fair tbh. He’s a valuable piece to the team and sometimes it makes sense just to hold onto pieces like that. With that said, I’m hoping Adams isn’t as smart and trades him to us for below market value, coming from a Leafs fan! One could only wish lol
First, IMO Adams is not that smart, but it appears Jason Karmanos is directing the trades now (Reinhart, Ristolainen, Eichel all had much better returns than Hall and Montour that were made before Jason was hired).
Second, it appears most Sabre fans are in love with Asplund, I really like him but other Sabre fans basically think he is untradable.
If his defensive skills were so valuable why does he only spend only 00:45 SH TOI, seven other Sabres have a higher SH TOI than he.
Third, Buffalo has many options at LW if there was a decent offer for a GK or RHD, I would trade him.
Fourth, Ondrej Kase would not be the return that would motivate Buffalo to trade him.
EDIT, NO NHL GM would give up a first for a defensive forward who does not hit, does not block shots, and does not PK.
Love is delusional, just ignore his comments.
