WPG thinks about that one. A 1st in this draft along with your 1st last year... hmmm... Have to probably go for it.

I like all of these trades, I would prefer Saros over Helly because he has 2 years left and I think that matches well with Levi's timeline. I'm just not sure if that is enough to get Nashville interested.

I think it is a fair trade and it with his injury history I don’t think anyone can beat that.

When he's healthy, he's the best Jet. But, he gets rocked a lot. He's constantly targeted and needs protection. Playing with Cozens gets him protection and a line mate that can keep up. Very good for that line.

I think it depends on if they believe they are a rebuilding team. I think the value is pretty fair. And I think he will make Sabres legit contenders by himself. Sabres were 3rd in goals for and how aggressive the Sabres play having a goalie that can make big stops will be huge. Also Levi and saros are same size and Levi mentioned how models his game after Saros. So it will only help his growth and Sabres could flip him at next years deadline if Levi looks ready.

I think he would have record year playing in the Sabres fast paced offensive game. He will also be playing with the second line which should help limit his time against the top lines.
