Description
More reports have come out from Russo and Duhatschek "We've heard the Sabres have shown interest in Connor Hellebuyck. Winnipeg would want a young team-controlled assets in return". Seems like it's more than just speculation. What does he get as a return?

    So it means nothing, There's been chatter of both Buffalo and New jersey being interested in Connor Hellebuyck. If Chevy makes him available at the draft. There's going to be quite a few teams chasing him this summer. Add Ottawa and LA as well if not even more teams.

    Exactly I'm not saying its only buffalo but with the news via the sources sounds like adams might make a splash for helle

    That's as far as I'd go. Can swap Krebs and mittelstadt too.

    This happens all the time with kevyn adams "Interest in meier, interest in robertson, interest in dubois". The guy is the king of making phone calls and leaking them to the media to make it seem like he's more active than he actually is

    maybe, but as a GM of a team with cap space and good prospects, he should be making calls on everyone.

    i dont disagree, but i also put zero stock into it. It would be a extreme deviation from what he's done in his tenure

    Krebs is good, But i don't see Chevy trading Hellebuyck to Buffalo without the 13th overall pick coming back.

    Okay than you wouldn't get him. Good thing you're not the gm as adams would definitely be more adept to making an actual competitive offer

    Upl pick 13 is a great base to build the trade from

    Happens all the time with Fitzgerald too…when a rival is in on a player, Devils sneak onto rumor lists. He like driving the price up. Tarasenko (2021), Fiala, Debrincat etc…never really made a real play for each but stayed in it. And it kinda worked with Gaudreau as NYI and PHI got priced out (still ended up in division though).

    Right, and thats why we knew the meier thing was for real because it wasnt just "oh they have some interest", insiders and media were actually staking their rep by firmly suggesting the devils were making offers.

    Not impossible to go from showing interest to actually pursuing the player. Definitely not in a position currently to rule them out but also not to say they are a frontrunner

    Adams has been goalie shopping in the bargain bin since he took over. Guess we will see.

    Yeah Ostlund was who i was thinking, 13th oa+UPL+Ostlund should pretty much do it. Or Rosen if that's who Chevy wants.

    its not, but he wont. whether you like adams or hate him, the one thing every sabres fan knows is he's not a big spender of any kind. FA's or trades. Thats why the Pegula's love him.

    If you're receiving Ostlund (not Rosen), we'd want DeMelo coming back.

    I dont know what this has to do with anything lol. Yes it didnt work out. Generally bargains are high risk reward, with the hedge being the cost. I assume adams and co anticipated that being a possible outcome.
