Thread: Sabres

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Cozens and Thompson are locked in, Savoie Ostland and Kulich have a higher ceiling. Mitts is at his ceiling, no reason to pay him when he's redundant to what they have already and they have holes else where</div></div>

They are prospects. Ostlund might not even be more than a bottom 6 C. Savoie & Kulich might not be cut out to be centers. Might just be wingers. There is a lot of uncertainty with prospects. Mitts is already an established center who is turned out to be a great playmaker in the NHL. Giving that away for signing rights is just an extremely bad use of assets just for "shaking up the locker room". Just like the other Cs we've traded away I'd expect Mitts to turn out to be a top level player on a new team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>shake up the locker room and they can try before they buy. Can't figure Mittelstadt is part of the long term plan.</div></div>

You're shaking up the locker room by trading one of your talented young players for...30 games & signing rights? How does that make any sense? Seems like a terrible move. The "shaking up the locker room" was something people said about ROR & Eichel. Turns out the players aren't the problem.

Why wouldn't Mitts be part of the long term plan? He's one of our best players right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Where's the top 10 pick? They got to sign Pesce at least</div></div>

Sorry I didn't see it was protected. Still potential for it to be a top 10 pick the year after.

> They got to sign Pesce at least

So why not just sign him in the summer without trading one of our most talented centers?

Thread: Sabres

All that for rentals when we're pretty much out of a playoff spot? Doesn't make any sense. Pretty much trading away a top 10 pick and a talented young center.

Even if you plan to sign Pesce & Lindholm you're pretty much making it extremely difficult to sign our young talent like Quinn, Peterka, Levi, Benson etc.

Thread: (ANA/BUF) - 2025 4th (MIN) for Lyubushkin

A bit more than I thought we'd get for him (thought around a 6th round pick). Had his moments especially the TB game winner in OT. Really inconsistent most of the year. Took a lot of dumb penalties. A 4th round pick for a guy that was going to be a healthy scratch most of the year is a W in my book.

Thread: Gibson

Gibson's contract lowers his value quite a bit. Even with 400k that's 6M for 4 years for a guy that's been below average or bad most of the time. Better goalies on the trade market like Helle & Hart too. No way would he get an unprotected 2024 1st.

Sabres trade makes no sense for us. No clue where Toffoli or Lindholm would play. Our top 6 is pretty much already set.

Only guys from Calgary that make sense for us are Hanifin or Tanev.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>He's got an extra year, true. On the other hand, Pesce outscored Provorov who is supposed to be an offensive defenseman and is one of the best DFD in the sport...

You're comical LMAO</div></div>

"He's got an extra year, true" Which means a ton for value. Same with retention. He's also 2+ years younger.

"Pesce outscored Provorov who is supposed to be an offensive defenseman" A difference of 3 points when one is on a bottom 3 team isn't really the counter you think it is.

A good comparison is Lindholm, but you want to completely ignore that because it shows how ridiculous your trade suggestions are.
