interesting indeed
maybe
i would tend towards yes for most of the 2019 class. especially the usntdp guys

We also had Ostlund ranked top 5 in 2022 and tried to trade up to get him but were unsuccessful. He just led Sweden to almost winning gold in the WJC. He’s a stud. Maybe if we feel he’ll be better than what might be available with our pick this year we pull the trigger on a deal like this. And Krebs is a nice throw in to level the deal out. He hasn’t been given much opportunity there, hasn’t been a good fit.

Sabres wouldn't be trading these two for futures. Only a player they need right now. Like a young defensive rhd closing in on entering his prime.

Edit: that's not JK

Sure they would, hell they have no need for Krebs and have proven that by not playing the kid. They’d probably love to have that pick to select a RD. But most of all, why not? They’re getting the much better deal value wise here, they’d be stupid to say no. That pick is likely top 8 and knowing Buffalo they’ll go on a run at the end of the season and end up picking in the teens with their pick.
