    Flyers accept but why would Buffalo even offer?

    It's just thoughts. Maybe BUF just have some extra players instead but I think BUF should trade Bryson out of the whole D core

    No matter your thoughts on Gibson, two AHL goalies, one of whom is criminally overpaid, and a future 2nd doesn't get it done.

    Backlund- maybe
    Mete- why?
    Gibson, unlikely, too risky for what the Ducks want for him
    DeSmith- zero chance

    Bryson most likely sent to Rochester if he clears waivers

    Don’t worry- Gibson isn’t going anywhere
    U guys are asking WAY TOO MUCH for a guy who hasn’t been good in FIVE YEARS

    No one is gonna met your absurd expectations,
    which is why he hasn’t been traded yet

    Gibson has an absolutely fugging ****e contract - no thanks. Quite the lateral move to move out comrie and then bring in desmith who is essentially the exact same just to have 3 goalies anyway.

    If Buffalo wants a goalie fir Fc, it is more likely it will be Allen. Let’s say you have the choice between trading Allen for a sixth or Desmith for a fourth. We trade Allen and clear cap every day

    I think they gave extra because they had to hit the floor. That extra 800k in Salary alone probably assures he clears waivers

    We’ll see
    There are teams out there like ARZ who could claim him just to give him a shot
    U could also be right, but either way I’m not too concerned

    I don’t think Bryson is nearly as bad as most Sabres fans seem to think he is- i don’t mind him as a 7/8 guy
    But I’m also ok losing him
    He’s decent with a little upside, but replaceable

    Not asking for the world but he is worth at least a 6th or 7th rd pick

    Do we? I mean Bryson is fine but adding a 5'9" left handed defenseman to an already small, predominantly left-handed defense core (with potential to get even smaller if Andrae makes the team) doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

    Really a nothing trade both ways to me but maybe I'm missing something
