<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>donald</b></div><div>and with all the points made above this thread, it is asset management 101 to not sell at its lowest point. flames dont sell markstrom because he had a bad season lol</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>This exactly.

Vladar would then be our sole #1 and even though I think he gets very underappreciated by people who just look up sv% he is still not ready for 50+ games a season. Then on top of that Calgary would then be banking on UPL passing through waivers (so essentially a 3rd of the value from the trade could be lost for nothing) or have to keep Wolf in the minors when he should be in the NHL.</div></div>

Calgary should be rebuilding so having UPL play would be more beneficial then having top prospect get destroyed and lose confidence. Why rush Wolf into the league if team will be one of the worst in the league.

Thread: What i would do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cory</b></div><div>Do you think their is just no interests in him from Buffalo or Buffalo just isn't willing to part with picks or prospects?

Here was my thought process and feel free to correct me on it.

Demelo = UPL
Hellebuyck = Middelstadt (figure he will always be a 3rd liner) Ostlund (prospects potential unless named McDavid, Crosby, Matthews are always unknown) the 1st will be a high pick if they make a run in the playoffs.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>He's still 30 and a pending UFA who wants a huge deal</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I think it's fair as long as there is an extension in place for Bucky that isnt north of 9. Casey has been a 3rd liner in BUF, UPL is still unproven and Noah has yet to make his NHL debut
Bucky's value is being undervalued terribly on this site. He's a 3 time vezina finals and one time winner. He's a top goalie still in his prime and should be valued as such.
Bucky makes Buf a playoff team, which is something sabers fans should be excited out. making this deal for him should be a no brainer. I still want him to stay in the Peg.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cory</b></div><div>Me too. I would much rather keep him and give him his 9 mil a year than trade him. I just wouldn't go anything over 5 years.</div></div>

This is way to much for aging goalie who will want a huge deal. If they wait till deadline value will be much lower because at that point everyone will know if he is even willing to resign and if they dont trade him they will lose him for nothing. If you look at past huge goalie trades Ryan miller is an example. Miller who was the best goalie in the league at that time and signed 5 year deal was trade with steve Ott for goalie who wouldnt play for sabres (halak), Chris stewart (similar to OTT so wash), Carrier ( B prospect), late 1st and 3rd.

In the trade you proposed sabres getting another dman which they have 10 NHL dman on roster. For you cost controlled center who put up 60 points playing thrid line minutes and limited PP time. When thompson was hurt in the end of the year played on top line and averaged over PPG. Young starting goalie. One of the sabres top propsects (in one of the deepest forward pools) and a first.

The value is not even close. they would be lucky to get half of that. if you compare it to miller deal. It would be Rusek, first and third for Helly.

Thread: Devils vs sabres in 2 years
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HeadHighSauce</b></div><div>advantage on defense? Interesting.</div></div>

In two years hamilton will be 33 and on the decline. So, Samuelsson and Siegenthaler are wash both defensive dman. Samuelsson is 3 years younger but in two years they will both be in primes. Dahlin is by far the best player on both teams and in two years he will be top 3 dman in the league maybe one. Power will be better then Hughes and Nemec. They could be close but Power has played top 4 minutes already and has the size that is unmatched. The depth is where sabres will need to improve but the addition of clifton should help and we will have cap space to add in couple years. If we look at the top four. <strong>I am not sure you will find one guy who take devils top 4 over the Sabres over the next 5 seasons. </strong>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Rangers don't even consider that nonsense trade offer. But Drury will give you a 5th round pick for Power straight up.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Atmie</b></div><div>Rangers fan here, no he really wont. Def will cost more than a mid first but look at Dach deal last year for a comp (13oa and 66oa). I don't think he's moved tho but if he is thats the comp trade</div></div>

The Dach trade is what i based this trade off. last years draft was one of the worst drafts in recent memory and this year is suppose to be a very deep draft. Which is why I valued 16th overall more then the 13th and 66. Like i said he has yet to prove anything on rangers and I think he would thrive on sabres.
