Hate to lose Mario but Rosen could address a thin RW prospect pool. Not sure how highly regarded he is but if he projects to be a middle 6 guy I like it.

Rangers fan here - Trouba is not an NHL defenseman. He lays big hits and does nothing else, and even that takes him out of the play more often than not. I’d gladly see him go with retention for practically anything that takes him and his cap hit off the books.

Sam Lafferty is going to get the Goodrow/Coleman contract he won’t be cheap, Samuelsson will always be in the top 4.

Im in the same boat but i think it would take more to pry Mario away from Grier unless we could land a good UFA who can minute munch so our d prospects still develop well.

That's true. If Mario gets moved I'd like to see a cap dump trade from a playoff contender for an overpaid vet D - thinking like Schmidt or Suter, not that they'd even waive.

1- he’s declining
2- Cap space
3- to give Schneider the playing time he’s earned

It’s really not that complicated
Pretty obvious too

But don’t worry,
bc there’s NO WAY in hell the Sabres do this in real life

Even at half price, Trouba might not be a good idea
He’s declining & not great anymore
