<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Slavin is more than capable of playing his offiside, and you've forgotten Bean who's the best D prospect not in the NHL right now (in terms of NHL readiness) Miller would be sat in the press box, and even if he wasn't, he doesn't hold the value Fleury did (playing top 4 minutes).</div></div>

I would have factor Bean as a 7th dman, up and down for injuries this year. Depends on the AHL too

Thread: Ristolainen Blockbuster

Youre taking 3 pieces the Sabres need to get themselves a 2C, and returning nothing that helps them, so while the value is close enough to debate, it doesnt help Buffalo at all so they cant accept

Wouldnt it just be Hamilton and Pesce on the right side and Skjei Slaavin and Gardiner on the left? Seems like itd be a great pick up for their d core

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div>Not sure the Wings would say yes either. One guy coming off knee surgery with 3 years left on his contract (it takes 2 years to build up from that see Svech). One guy with his 5th team in 6 years as a 1 year rental.

All for 2x 2nds. Plus a 6/7 d-man. And a prospect that was highly thought of before hurting his knee that has taken 2 years to recover to full strength.

Pass....</div></div>

It doesnt take 2 years to recover from knee surgery. Svech is the exception

Thread: Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>I would not trade Reinhart for Mantha one on one, and would not tradee our #8. Finding a winger for second link is much easier center.</div></div>

Last year the Sabres started of with Sobotka at RW, they never found a decent winger for the 2nd line till they traded for Kahun. If Mantha is a 50-60 point player from that spot, that makes the centers life easier and Skinner's, or Olofsson. It creats space on the ice for them. Ive pretty much exhausted all my ideas for a 2C, their are not many options available

Thread: Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>Why are we trading for Mantha our #8? He is not center and not always healthy.</div></div>

For 8OA to deepen our scoring depth I dont mind it. I dont need a long term solution for 2c I expect Cozens to be there. If its a deal where were giving up Reinhart + 8oa that makes 0 sense as the Sabres dont improve their depth. Mantha's health is questionable I agree.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>You don't trade a proven scorer for futures, There's no guarantee those players become any better then Mantha.

Mantha will be 30 by the time the wings are relevant. Wings are getting guaranteed 8oa in a deep top 10, a young goalie that was just in the AHL allstar game, and one of the Sabres best d prospects. Thats filling a lot of needs. Yeah Mantha is getting into his prime, what is Detroit going to do with it, even with Lafreniere that weren't going to challenge for a wild card spot. Futures is exactly what Detroit needs

So I guess the consensus would be 8OA + Johnson + 2nd (since Johansson is in separate deal) per <a href="/users/aedoran" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@aedoran</a> and <a href="/users/buffbry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@buffbry</a> for a fair deal to Buffalo.</div></div>

I would prefer to do Johansson over the 2nd and nix the other deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redw1n9s</b></div><div>Not a massive underpayment, but there is no guarantee that the 8OA pick is going to be anywhere near the NHL talent Mantha is. Wings would need a bit more to trade Mantha at this point.</div></div>

Depends even on what position you pick too. Theirs also no guarantee Mantha doesnt come to Buffalo and either get hurt and miss a ton of games over the next 4 years or completely regress.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>You forgot to add in Sam Reinhart, Ryan Johnson, Matias Samuelson, Dylan cozens, Casey middlestadt and this year's 2nd for mantha.

This was a proposal from a realistic Detroit fan. Guaranteed 8 overall in a deep top 10 for a guy thats going to be nearing 30 by the time Detroit is relevant again. They can pick up Sanderson or Askarov alongside Perfetti, or Holtz, instead of trading for a first that could be mid to late round in 2 years. I dont see how this is an under pay at all. They also get a big body forward prospect back

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>All depends on where that 1st round sits. If we’re talking 8OA + prospect then I’d be interested as we might be able to come away from the draft with Raymond/Drysdale + Holtz/Rossi/Askarov.

Data doesnt lie, sorry. he was a 40 pt+ player in Colorado. I watch enough hockey, poor cop-out. If you're just going to eschew data, because it goes against your feelings and it doesnt fit you're narrative, all to common these days, I cant take your opinion serious.

There’s a bunch of Leafs fans that don’t even like Kerfoot at Center in the 3rd line

Jack is way too pissed off to take another big risk at the 2C spot like this</div></div>

I honestly dont have any idea what you expect. The Sabres arent dealing from a position of strength for the reason you laid out. You literally find an excuse to shoot down every trade. Do you think Boston is going to feel sorry for us and flip Bergeron to us for 8 oa. Teams arent going to give up their #2 centers. The teams that would trade them, dont have 2Cs to trade. Youre going to have to find someone that teams are willing to move and dont have NTC or NMCs. Kinda limits the pool. At least Kerfoot has decent underlying numbers to work with: <a href="https://public.tableau.com/shared/BJBDSMP5C?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://public.tableau.com/shared/BJBDSMP5C?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link</a>

Draisaitl by far, one of the best in the league. 8.5 mill for 100+ points. Id also say McDavids contract is bad. Stud of a player but its made their GMs life miserable putting talent around him

Eichels a great player, his contract isnt. Its about average for his caliber. I think the point is to find players that are good value for their cap hit, not playing as expected for it
