not sure mitts is exactly enticing for them, maybe swap him for jokiharju or another decent prospect

I just want it to happen already so I can cope with the reality of not having Timo anymore.

But yeah, this is a solid return

Still no, the Kings are Sabres aren't going to be trade partners when both need a defensive defenseman. Why not just hold onto Martinez and have him play with Power?

Seems to be a well thought out scenario. Gotta think Meier will get more for San Jose. If an extension was in place, the Sabres certainly have the cap and a young assets to give .

Word on the street is that Ryan Johnson is going to spurn the Sabres and sign with the Kings in August.

Like the Korczak add, could be a good partner for Power and he's very close to being ready.

Impossible to say if Mitts would be part of the deal or not
BUT
I do wanna give my fellow Sabres fans some props here
There’s A LOT of ridiculously horrible trade proposals that get made on this site…..
And most of the ones i see us making for Meier seem to at least be “in the ballpark” value wise

Nice job Sabres fans 👏👏👏

Yeah there are some other fanbases that are overly attached to their prospects and assume they'll be the next McDavid. Like Knies is a solid prospect but he hasn't put up the number to be "untouchable". He's probably around bordeleau level of prospect, who I consider to be a B level guy.

I think a deal between the Sabres & SJ could really get done here
We have enough good prospects that we can say “No” to a particular guy or 2, and the Sharks could still be happy getting another instead

Hopefully a good deal happens that both sides can be happy with

Actually, it was a couple of your Buffalo colleagues who pointed out a connection between Johnson and the Kings coaching staff, and that's where this started (back in the summer).
