Only way he’s sold for that low is it’s a favor to Zemgus himself. No one thought Goodrow would get a first from Tampa at the 20 TDL. Zemgus isn’t that valuable but he’s worth way more than a fourth at 50% and would be beat by many teams.

No chance Buffalo trades Zemgus for less than a 2nd. They'll most likely resign him for next year.
Unless he says he wants out & wants to go to Pittsburgh (not completely unlikely), I think he stays.
I think Zemgus will be a Sabre next year,
His Salary is a good indication of the value that that Sabres place upon him.

I think it's way better to try and get a 3C and keep Blueger at 4C. I wouldn't break up a line that's playing that well. He's the perfect 4C and would probably be fine at 3, but 4th line isn't broken, 3rd line is, so that's what I'd try and fix.

LOL a 2nd?!?!? You're going full Habs fan here.
So you find little annoying yet you respond to him.
Let that sink in for a bit.
First, if Hextall were to acquire Zemgus, would Sullivan not pair him Blueger to take advantage of the Riga connection?
Second, Since Teddy and Zemgus have the same salary, what do you think would be a fair value for Teddy?
Well that is what the Sabres think is a fair value for Zemgus.
Third, while it may be unlikely any team would give a second for Zemgus, unless he requested a trade (as
@kclar suggested) it would take a second to pry him out of Buffalo.
28-17-21 are really good at controlling the puck in the offensive zone.
Finally, Since the Sabres have figured out how to win with 3 AHL defensemen in the line up (Clague, Fitzgerald and Pilut) I suspect when Power, Jokiharju and Lyubushkin return they will do even better and Zemgus' price will go up.
