Thread: Think Of the Future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Evey89</b></div><div>Honestly, even if it does cost a first, a monumental cost imo, it would still be a net gain for us. Our defense is a bloody sieve. So even though it would be more than I would want to send, yeah, I think I would do it. In fact... I think that feeling proves it's a good deal. Getting something we want for something we don't want to give up? Yeah, that's fair. Alright, you convinced me lol (thought process in real time)</div></div>

I don't want to give him up either, but Ostlund is about 2yrs away so it lessons the blow. Never happen but we need help at RD and Adams has the assets to go and get someone. There's some good D in this draft, that Dickinson kid even though he's a LD is something. But we need D for the know to. Adams really should have started this process in the offseason, Johnson and Clifton are just sh!tty bandaids.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Evey89</b></div><div>Kulich is for sure untouchable but a package containing Savoie is something I would be open to. I would hate to lose Savoie but we are currently severely top heavy on the depth charts and a top tier dman would be such a welcome blessing.

That being said, I can't believe it would be Savoie AND a first. I agree the Sabres need add to the trade to make it work but Jiricek is not several tiers more skilled than Savoie and he has already expressed his displeasure in his current situation which would take a lot of air out of Columbus' leverage (somewhat offset by Buffalo's ridiculous prospect pool).

My offer would be Savoie, a second, and maybe another pick (3rd or later). If that doesn't get it done or at least close, then it isn't worth it to keep negotiating.</div></div>

I agree with what you are saying, but RD are hard to come by, especially one's with his potential so it raises the price.

Thread: TDL Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Evey89</b></div><div>Seriously bugs me how willing people are to throw Ostlund away. Guy dominated the league he was playing in all year long and people keep throwing him into trades like he's the sweetener in order to make another deal work. He was drafted in the first round and his skillset shows it. Stop treating him like a 4th round pick</div></div>

Im pretty sure the arguement for picking "best player available" even tho it left you with 3 prospects at the teams strongest position was that they could be used as a sweetner in deals.
Ostlund could have been a physical right winger to develope or a rightside dman to add depth to our ahl club and after a few years the nhl team. But instead another center was picked, not a big center or a guy that plays with an edge or who has been an inpecable leader just another skilled center.
The problem here is that this acgm is adding tanev and konecny. So as the team has a full roster we need to move on from a dman and a forward. So joker and olofsson become the sweetner. Ostlund as a talented prospect is the key piece imo. The additional 1st is an overpay.
If you want to be perplexed by something try figuring why olofsson and joker seem to have no value on this site. Or for thst matter the league. I doubt we trade lybushkin for a 4th if jokers getting any decent concideration.
