Thread: Haula and Flat Cap with Dallas Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>some could even consider that an overpayment for miller. that guys production and value has dropped since coming to buffalo. Defenseman who get paid like him who sit in the pressbox most of the time are a red flag to most teams so they would be hesitant to offer that for him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Yeah the trade proposed here is basically what they gave up to get him, I really don't see how he'd be worth anymore now.</div></div>

Miller’s fallen out of favour with the Buffalo coaching staff but when he’s played, he’s shown promising signs. Looking at his stats, he is actually way better defensively than Tyson Barrie. Perhaps Dubas should’ve given up less to acquire him instead, or trade Kadri to get Manson.

Thread: Trading Okposo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cjp2112</b></div><div>Not viewing Ryan and Okposo as a net zero. Buffalo benefits a bit more getting out from under that third year and pentially freeing up more cap space with a buyout in the last year of Ryan's contract. I see that as added value for Buffalo.

But yeah, Botterill probably isn't trading Mittelstadt but hopwfully Botts isn't making the calls (though now with the current uncertainty he almost definitely is). Who do you put in place of Mittelstadt? Can't just pull him out and I doubt Botterill trades Thompson either (same basic reason). Maybe Asplund but not sure how much value he has in the league. I went with the overpay from the Buffalo perspective.</div></div>

Even if he hadn’t drafted Mitts with his first ever pick,
and even though Mitts development has been slow,
my biggest problem is that u just don’t trade a 21year old with a 2C ceiling when the major piece in the return is a 3C

If he were gonna move Mitts,
it would have to be in Nylander for Jokiharju type deal...
for a young player with a high ceiling


Your logic behind the Okposo for Ryan deal is creative,
and really does make a lot of sense financially for the Sens
I think it’s pretty close to a wash

So what is Tierney worth?
I’d say a player like Tage, or Asplund is about right
A younger cost controlled player with middle6 upside should be what they’d look for to replace Tierney
And maybe we’d add a mid round pick instead of getting a 2nd
Tough to say

I’d rather aim higher though &amp; try to either get a 2C,
or at least a better 3C than Tierney (I’m not a big fan)

I’m comfortable letting Cozens &amp; Mitts battle it out for the 3C spot
And if neither look ready,
I’m fine with Johansson or trying Kahun there

Bringing back Larsson is also a no brainer, Girgs too
They were very effective defensively taking in other teams top scorers
Idk why we wouldn’t want them back??
