Thread: Sandin Friedman Speculation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RasmusASSplund</b></div><div>Varlamov would be the cap retention for Buffalo......Mayfield is just someone that the Sabres would probably be interested in for the second pair. He's respectable as a second pair, strong third pair, and most importantly, strong penalty killer, I think Buffalo would be interested.

The issue with Varlamov is how many teams will be interested, and of those teams, how many will we waive for? Maybe he changes his mind on Edmonton if they look for a goalie and win the cup? Maybe Colorado reunion if they get eliminated and don't keep Keumper? Maybe Toronto if they don't get Campbell back...maybe Detroit? But again will he waive? There's not a ton of options there if they try to move him.</div></div>

Ok. But what is Buffalo giving up for Mayfield in this scenario? I’ve seen a lot of armchair GM’s who undervalue Mayfield.

Thread: Sandin Friedman Speculation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RasmusASSplund</b></div><div>Varlamov only accepts a trade to Buffalo if he gets immediately dealt to a team that he'd accept a trade to.....Buffalo would probably retain half his salary to help get to the floor, so for the Islanders, it would be a cap dump. Mayfield would probably need to be apart of the trade, since Buffalo is looking for a RHD, and the Buffalo could probably send Portillo along with other assets considering Buffalo may not be able to sign him.....assuming Buffalo can add a goalie. Washington strikes me as a partner for such a deal. Varly's NTC complicates things. He reportedly refused to go to Edmonton, and I doubt he'd consider Buffalo.</div></div>

Why would Mayfield need to head to Buffalo is a cap retention situation?
