The late first will get you Pettersson. He’s one of the best defensive defenseman in the league. Johnansen has no value so you’re saying Crosby retained is worth an injury riddled Byram straight up? No chance. You’ll have to add so much more than that to even begin the conversation. Add 2 more firsts and you’re getting closer

Why would they do that right now with UPL playing very well?

David Pagnotta said Sabres have been linked to John Gibson and Elvis Merzlinkins ahead of trade deadline

They wouldn't get rid of UPL. They would add a goalie to help with the workload m

Gibson has said no to Buffalo a lot of times already. Why would he change his mind now

Just because you just found out about UPL doesn't mean nobody knows who he is.... Why in hell would Buffalo make that trade? There is 0 logic to that. Trade their starter, who is hitting his stride, for a garbage G prospect that they don't need and a 3rd. Aside from that, Buffalo has outright stated they aren't trading for picks and prospects

Why would Buffalo go after Gibson too? If Kevyn Adams moved UPL to make room for Gibson, the fan base would want his head

I cant see the Sabres trading for Gibson at this point, but if they do My guess is that UPL would be going to the ducks along with other assets.

Byram isn't 'injury riddled'. Nice exaggeration. You are, however, correct that the value is way off.

Just chopping the logic at the root. Player with NMC said no multiple times, Buf not in a playoff position this year, so really the convo stops there. Doesn’t matter any other justification or anything. That’s all.

Except the Sabres are NOT trading for Gibson

And if we were- IF- then UPL would be part of the package headed to the Ducks


But we are NOT trading our young starting goalie
That’s just dumb- sorry

Cause of the reports saying the sabres are interested in Gibson duh. Gibson overrated but if I was building a playoff team id like to have a goalie who has proven his play is sustaineble

If it was reported then there is a possibility, so for you to say that its ''NOT'' happening is really stupid.

Those reports are from BEFORE we had our young goalie take a step forward & play really well this year

Sorry, but u don’t know what you’re talking about
Not interested in Gibson and we aren’t trading UPL to the Avs- no way- KEEP DREAMING

Donato gotta go, other than that so much talent on that roster and you still have a great prospect pool.

This is all fine and well. Prospects become suspect until they prove it, obviously aren’t getting to the playoffs without a miracle run this year. On top of this concept, UPL has been one of the best goalies in the league this year. If he were on a good team, he’d be getting Vezina consideration. So he’s played better than Gibson, will be cheaper to retain, and all Buf gets in return is a 3rd while having to probably send a 1st + for Gibson. It just doesn’t make sense.

Yeah I agree that trade is stupid and wouldnt happend.

Good to know he is doing great this season, I knew his stats were good but didnt know he had that much success.

Goalies are weird and sometime can go off in a contract year just to regress back the season after. If buffalo feels like his play isnt sustainable or they dont see him as the long term solution, they could sell high on him. If I remember right, last season there were already rumors him being shopped around.
