Sabres certainly have the pieces to trade for Draisaitl,
but i don’t see it happening

Lmao Sabres say absolutely not. That package gets a different center on Edmonton with a long term contract extension

On the Brett Pesce signing, For that low ball offer he'd stay in Carolina. try more like 7 x $7,000,000 to sign Brett Pesce.

If Drai had 8 years on his contract maybe. Not giving up half a top 9 for 2 years of him

It doesn't matter because the Edmonton trade would never happen first, but the Ducks aren't swapping a right shot D for a left shot. Nor do they want a 3rd pair guy like Kulak with three more years on his contract.
