Assuming the Sabres finish out of the playoffs, should the Sabres be giving up futures for two years of Chychru? Plus he is a LHD which the Sabres have plenty. Keep Dahlin and Power, Samuelsson on the left side.

I understand the perspective but I’d throw a few arguments the other way;

1) Dahlin plays better on his off hand imo, and has great chemistry with Samuelsson. I want that pair to be our top pair for 15yrs.

2) Power is still so young and I don’t think it would hurt to be able to limit his minutes a bit, adding a piece like Chychrun allows that.

3) Chychrun played in Arizona with Lybushkin so should have some chemistry there to start with.

4) can never have enough talent on the back end.

5) cheap deal with two additional years

6) Sabres have an immense amount of depth in their prospect pool. Dealing 1-2 pieces that aren’t Savoie/Kulich/Rosen/Levi is a solid deal. Also, they have too many forwards in their pool and will need to offset that at some point by either trading for nhl defensemen,
Or trading those forwards for picks or defense prospects.

Not even close to Bill Armstrongs asking price, If this is all it took to get Chychrun. He would've been dealt ages ago.

It’s a 1st, a 1st round prospect, a decent goalie prospect, and a 2nd round pick? What else do you think Arizona’s getting?
