There would probably need to be protection on that Sabres pick

No, Sabres don't do that at all. Sabres save their cap (or spend it) on a 5.5m about as good Konecky and keep their picks.

Buffalo won't be trading their 1st round pick.
If you still want to trade him for a couple of 2nds then buf might do it

That’s fine, several teams want a guy like him and there’s about 4 comparable on free agency so most teams will miss out, and I doubt those guys sign for that price unless it’s with a contender, which im sure a few teams will offer up contacts in the 6-6.5 range (I think that’s something the Sabres probably do)… a contender then makes a similar offer for Konecny with an unprotected pick

Like 6 2nds might get it done lol

Well, there goes one and he set the market at 6.1

Doubt the Sabres land a guy like that for that price but they don’t really need to either
