Created by: DannySavior

Team: 2022-23 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 10, 2023

Published: Feb. 10, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

They are playoff contenders but they should get what they can for their aging Vets; reassess the team in the offseason where they won't have too much to do

I'm not sure if this is fair value but I would think it's semi-close

Trades

BUF

2023 3rd round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

If Anderson records 4+ wins in the playoffs, this pick turns into either the 2023 LAK 2nd, or 2024 LAK 2nd (Kings choice)

LAK

Anderson, Craig ($750,000 retained)

BUF

Khudobin, Anton
2024 2nd round pick (DAL)

DAL

Okposo, Kyle ($3,000,000 retained)
2023 4th round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

Very solid defensive metrics, could be a decent asset for a playoff team with cap space they can't spend (like Dallas, but doesn't have to be them)

Buyouts

Cody Hodgson: $791,667
Christian Ehrhoff: $0

Retained Salary Transactions

Craig Anderson: $750,000 (50%)
Kyle Okposo: $3,000,000 (50%)

Buried

Anton Khudobin: $2,208,333 ($3,333,333)
Vinnie Hinostroza: $575,000 ($1,700,000)
Anders Bjork: $475,000 ($1,600,000)

LeBrun reported that the Kings aren't interested in a rental goaltender.

They aren’t trading their captain and Craig Anderson is the Sabres best goalie.

They aren’t going to trade their best leaders when they are 2 points out of a playoff spot.

So we should just dump our captain as we try to make the playoffs?

Dallas respectfully says no. Much cheaper ways to find a bottom 6 FWD without giving up a second round pick.

I don’t think Okposo gets traded; but I could see value in Minnesota for this deal. Has cap space. Could be a veteran forward they need for their playoff push. Okposo goes back home for his last year (or more) of his career.
