<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marked_Difference</b></div><div>Why Forsling? I don't mind his game and he is a serviceable NHL Defenseman but I am curious your thoughts on how he would add to the AZ roster?

Moser is criminally underrated. He is a guy that should be locked up for 5-6 years and if we can do it for around 4MM a year it would be amazing. He is the guy that goes over the boards every time there is a superstar on the ice and he generally neutralizes them during their shift.

A lot of the 2 year contracts for the AHL/fringe NHL guys should be shortened to one year. Keep em hungry.</div></div>

Admittedly I don't watch much Arizona hockey so any judgements I have made could be in poor taste. But, ultimately I went with Forsling mostly based off the fact that I believe that he is a reliable somewhat young two-way dman. Most of the other UFA dman candidates will be 30 or older, and with Arizona likely having some money to spend, I don't think it would be wise to give an older dman a big contract when you are likely multiple years away from being a real playoff threat. I'd have to agree with you on the Moser take, I just thought that maybe a bridge until his last year of RFA eligibility would be in the best interest of both parties.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Untuxed</b></div><div>Copying my comment from another post with the same trade:

Sabres are probably not interested for a couple of reasons.
1) They have a log jam at LD and are probably looking for a defensively minded RD to pair with Power. Speaking of Power him and Dahlin are going to probably getting signed to 8-year deals this offseason (8x10 and 8x8.5 or something) so do they really want to add another guy who is also in need of his big contract at 26.
2) Krebs has been coming into his own and has definitely rounded out his defensive game this year. He is also cost controlled for a while.</div></div>

I understand all of these points and considered them myself, the way I see it is that Krebs is most likely the odd man out the Centre prospects that Buffalo has coming (Kulich, Savoie, Ostlund), so moving him for a Dman would be in their best interest since it is definitely the position they are most lacking at currently.
