$4M for Drury?

Yikes.

If he really wanted that much, sure.The Canes would surely trade him if that is his ask.

Dupe

Wtf is that Drury trade and contract

Philly trade is definitely interesting. Probably have to be the Sabres 24 first though.

Drury gets like no ice time and puts up great advanced stats. It's cool he's related to Chris but that's not why I want him. He'd be a great 3C with proper ice time imo

konecny is not being traded

I agree but with only one year left on his contract and with a hefty raise coming the question is does he give Philly a hometown discount and if not does Philly want to invest long term on a 28 yo player?
In reverse would the Sabres want to invest 2 first round picks in what could be 1 year of Konecny? That would set the Sabres back in my opinion (again) if Konecny bolts after a year, to much of a gamble for the Sabres to take IMO.
Like the player but not the odds.

it's almost a guarantee he gets an 8x8-9M offer on July 1 so I don't think the hometown discount in even a consideration

That kind contract puts a team in Jeff Skinner territory...great for starters but doesn't have a good ending. Only difference is TK is a better all round player
