I wouldn’t be a huge fan, but I think the Sabres would accept only if PHI retains half of Laughton’s contract.

That ain’t happening and that return probably isn’t even enough with no retention. If you expect Philly to retain Briere isn’t trading him without getting your 1st back.

TK should get that return with even including our 1st. ADB got more than that and he’s not even as good as TK so there’s no need to include the FLA 1st

ADB had an extra year of term tbf.

and dorion was a moron trying to save his job. ADB was not worth a top 10 pick and neither is TK

That's a massive overpay for Laughton. Sabres should say absolutely not.

Sens shouldn’t do this. They need a Dman on an ELC at 7

At worse they take Iginla

I can assure you Buffalo isn’t trading their 1st for a analytics nightmare and 3rd/4th liner

Buffalo fans just get on here and spit false information it’s comical and makes the whole fanbase look bad. GM’s wouldn’t offer 1sts if he was as bad as any of you think. But u guys would know bad hockey because you watch the Sabres players play every year.

Atkinson and Johansen are both 100% not in Philly next year.

ADB was younger, going to be an RFA, had higher goal scoring potential and had a year still on his deal. Due to that he was able to grab the 7th, TK holds less value meaning they're going to need the FLA 1st to move up to #7

I looked at it less from a value perspective and more so team-fit perspective. Around the league Laughton was being offered for a 1st which is far too high and was before his abysmal season but still was being offered that. Philly would probably half to retain 50% but he fits into Buffalo's middle 6 and fits their vision of making the playoffs by promoting a more defensive minded bottom 6

Don't they have

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Chychrun?? Their top 6 is also littered with young talent at the moment, I don't see how either prospect develops

I see them getting moved at the TDL at half retained each for mid-round picks

Chychrun is being traded .
