<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Yeah okay that makes sense but there’s a difference between a 3rd liner and a player u would put on ur 3rd line lol. Stacked teams like Vegas and Florida have guys on the 3rd line that would be in a top 6 role on plenty of other teams. They aren’t 3rd liners they just happen to be on a deep team. Farabee is a 2nd liner for sure. He’s only going to get better. There’s also no guarantee Quinn hits 30 or stays healthy whereas if Farabee continues to grow and hits 60-65 points next season he would cost way more. It’s a gamble for sure and I think Philly is ready to gamble his current value for what it could be but maybe other teams aren’t ready to gamble on it yet.</div></div>
Ferabee’s current contract could prove to be more valuable with time as the cap rises if he puts up 30 goals and can stay there. But it looks like the Sabres are spending more money on their blue line than they will on the forward group. With Peterka and Quinn both needing new contracts after next season adding another $5 million player is probably a luxury they can’t afford. The cheap contracts that Ostlund, Kulich, and Savoie bring to the table will likely be needed to fill out the roster in the next couple years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Would hardly call a 24 year old 50 point player just a 3rd liner lol. Torts may play him there sometimes but Torts is Torts and I think every forward we had played on every single line this year lol. I’m pretty sure Tk played a game on the 4th line but that doesn’t make him a 4th liner.

Quite frankly it would be a win for Buffalo if half of ur prospects hits Farabee’s level. Most prospects on every team won’t even get that far.</div></div>
Well, I see it this way. Peterka has already shown he could score 30 goals next year. Quinn could do the same if he is healthy. Skinner needs to be a top six forward to be effective, and contrary to the popular opinions of this website, he’s not getting traded or bought out. You’re not going to take Alex Tuch off the unit with Thompson, and Dylan Cozens is a second line Center. By default if you were to acquire Ferabee, the best you could do is put him on the third line with Benson. Maybe adding a player with 20 goal capability makes Peyton Krebs a better Center too? But you’re paying premium assets for a guy you’re putting on the 3rd line. I think Buffalo looks to free agency to fill that need unless there is a player they absolutely have to trade for.

I’m not even trying to be rude but ur talking about two 1st round picks that will be top 15 picks along with two 2nds that will be early. This is an overpay for Zegras, when he is traded it won’t even be for this much.

Also, again not to be offensive, but Anaheim sucks. They sucked this year, will suck next year, and will probably suck the year after. 4 picks inside the top 40 including 2 picks inside the top 15 absolutely will improve the team a few years down the road which is when this team will actually be good anyway. Ur not winning a Stanley cup in the next 5 years so “a pile of 2025 picks” absolutely helps them.
