Why are the Sabres trading a good goalie prospect for an ECHL goalie ???

Leinonen fell off a cliff. Trade affects no one above the ECHL level, still weird that they included it

Keep Laughton far away, he adds nothing and subtracts from what Krebs brings

Well Hunter Jones is 23 & can’t get outta the ECHL

Leinonen is only 19 & still has upside
Young goalies are often a rollercoaster,
just look at UPL for example
Far too soon to write Leinonen off

And considering I'll be surprised if the Wild keep Jones this summer, you could probably just have him for free in July if you really wanted him. No idea why the Sabres would remotely consider this, curious why OP included it.

UPL had 1 or 2 hip surgeries though amongst other injuries

Ok, Leinonen is still a teenager with plenty of time to develop
And it’s just WAY TOO SOON to even think of giving up on him

I have no clue why the Sabres would do this, but the Wild would accept.
