Thread: Trading Hellebuyck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Diaspora</b></div><div>Buffalo may not be TRYING to trade these players, but they should take a deal like this. Even if Helly is a rental.

We have ten D who played in the NHL last year, and Jokiharju is six or seven on that list. He may have upside, but there's a crowd there already.

Olofsson is worth 25G, but we have four rookie forwards who ought to get some NHL games this year (Savoie, Kulich, Rousek and Rosen). The best slot to offer them is currently occupied by VO.

UPL holds promise but is inconsistent. Hellebuyck would give us fifty reliable games. Lets Levi get his feet under him during his first year.

The draft choices are expendable. I think this value is reasonable, but don't think Jets would bite.</div></div>

Take out Joker and the 4th and you probably have a deal. No, I don't expect the WPG fans to like it.

Thread: Sell low on Petry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Hey Team - Thanks for all the comments.

I understand you all don't think Petry is a good fit in Buffalo. I fully admit I did not research if he would be a good fit, I was just regurgitating something Montreal beat writer Eric Engels said on a podcast last night. No hard feelings!

I am curious if some of you would comment on whether you think a 3rd and a 7th is far for an ageing mid-pair defender signed for 2 years at 2.34M? I get that you don't want him in Buffalo, but is that only because you don't have space for him, or because you think this is "bad value"?</div></div>

Look.. the value is decent. I think he gives you enough next year to justify a 3rd round pick. The 7th is whatever.

He's a bad fit for Buffalo, and probably most teams because he's becoming slow. But he's still competent. So, while useful at that cost, still kinda undesirable.

I think he's a decent fit for a team looking for complimentary PP and 5v5 scoring from their bottom 3 D.

I don't want to say the obvious of just mailing him to Anaheim or Arizona with no return address, so let's say... I don't know.. I think he'd help San Jose or Calgary, especially if they got rid of Hanifin.
