<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I like saros, but that's too much. I can't even remember the last time anybody got assets like that for a goalie, that's not a trade that's gonna get made. It makes more sense to me to find a couple defensive d and probably a defensively responsible center to limit the absurd high danger chances we give up. By cleaning up the defensive zone in front of the goalie, I think you give yourself a chance with just an average vet goalie. If you look at the Sabres recent history, goalies that looked just OK here- like lehner and ullmark have left for teams with better team defense and been in the conversation for the vezina. What it says to me to overpay for hellebuyck or saros is- "we just can't figure out how to fix this, so the only thing we can do is trade more high value assets than the market has seen moved in decades, for a superhero to come in and stand on his head and save us".</div></div>

Well the reason you don’t see goalies get this much in return is because top3-5 goalies don’t get traded. Name me the last one that was traded. Nashville is in a spot that trading a top goalie maybe the only thing to do because we’re not competing now

Thread: Trotz using draft capital to improve roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>Using the equivalent of 4 first round picks to get another winger while still having a crappy center group is ill advised

Edit: and thats just the trade... then there is the offsheet were we use another 1st 2nd and 3rd for another winger. 32 million in top 4 wings. This is like putting expensive rims and ground effects on a pinto</div></div>

Lol that would be a clean ass pinto though. There isn’t any center out there to get or else I would have got a center. You would think that our centers would produce more points playing with those 2 wingers. Bratt 32 goals and 73 points and Keller 37 goals 87 points would help us be a potent offense. They are both 24 as well . I’m just playing around with the roster. Guess I did over pay for keller. Wonder if that gets you matthews

Thread: Should Bratt walk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>We don't trade Bratt for a goalie.

We'd trade a lesser goalie with futures...or just futures.

It doesn't matter how good the goalie is...the risk premium on netminders will always drive the price down below someone like Bratt.

So start with Saros+ for Bratt.</div></div>
A top 3-5 goalie in the league doesn’t ever come available, The reason no one knows the true value of a top goaltender. Not saying I agree with the op proposal because it’s a little over board but looking at yours it’s undervaluing saros. Put saros and take bratt off New Jersey and they are still a contender probably more than they was with bratt because saros can actually steal games you didn’t deserve to win. Now on the flip side saros was the only reason nashville wasn’t a bottom 5 team. Take him off and put bratt on nashville and Nashville takes a hit in barely missing the playoffs to being way out of the playoffs. Saros has been in the vezina conversation every year he’s been a starter and should have been top 3 this year. He got rob because his team didn’t make it to the playoffs even though we were playing a lot of ahlers and rookies.
