13th overall pick for Dubois? HMmmmm.... close. Thinking WPG takes it.

toronto gets their top 6 pwf that can play a good two way game when he feels like it. and they get a nice pick they can build around

Value is fair but can't see buffalo using trade capital for a winger.

Actually I would say 2nd moves to one of the later 2nds in this scenario but kind of nit-picky

willy was drafted as a center. he can go back for sure

i would do the trade regardless. but only if we can replace willy with dubois.

I mean we need a defensive right d more. I'd be more tempted to cut out the middleman and trade for pld

Fair point. But even then I don't think it makes a difference.
Top 2 centers are set.
Would willy make the team better definitely. But using that capital and salary cap to make a top 3 scoring offense better seems silly.
I think that picks/prospects/$$ will be spent on D and Goalie

When was the last time he played Center though. Also does he play the PK? Bc we desperately need guys who are good PKers. Sabres were 3rd in the NHL in scoring so I don’t know how badly we need his scoring. Of course regression is bound to happen but we have a lot of guys who can put the puck in the net

Hm, i dunno. If MTL offered the FLA pick (29 - 32OA) + Dvorak + a prospect like Beck or Roy (it would have to be one of these two), I would lean towards MTL because we still get a servicable centre, top prospect and a 1st, albeit a late one, but how big is the discrepancy between 13th and 29th at that point?

Either way, interesting offer, as it puts pressure on other teams with interest in PLD. And I can absolutely see PLD signing with TOR (gross, but whatevs).

Jackets decline. The trade isn’t a fit for the Jackets. We need more stay at home type defenseman on the left side.
