Confirmed: (ANA/BUF) - Montour for Guhle and 2019 1st round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rebecca</b></div><div>Brandon Montour is, by most accounts, easily among the Top 40 RHD in the NHL today (possibly in the Top 30). A very strong 2nd pair but with a legitimate case to be a 1st pairing defender. Combined with the crop of other young D-Men that have arrived/taken strides this season (Dahlin, Pilut, Ristolainen, McCabe), adding Montour whist not subtracting anyone off their current roster immediately raises the Buffalo blue-line from slightly below-average to easily among the Top 5-10 in the NHL (with a trajectory that will only make them better in the next 2-3y).
As others have iterated, Guhle was buried in the depth chars on the LHD side, and so really while an “asset” in the abstract, held little to no intrinsic value for Buffalo as an organization beyond what he could recoup. And wow, does he fetch a big fish.
The 1st round pick is a wild-card. If Buffalo has another surge and makes the playoffs then Anaheim is likely looming at around 18th give or take, possibly later if Buffalo upsets the top seed. But - if Buffalo misses the playoffs (and by most prognostications that’s at least an 80% probability), then we’re looking at a lottery pick, albeit one with very long odds. If Buffalo misses the playoffs and “wins” the lottery (moving up to the top 2/3) then Anaheim wins. But in the other 96% of scenarios I find it hard to fathom a borderline LHD and a mid-round 1st providing more value than a young RHD in the Top 30/40 of the NHL.
There’s the 80% possibility that Buffalo</div></div>

(TOR/CBJ/SJS) - Foligno Noesen for Picks and Picks
Meh, sure, it's an overpay. But at this point you gotta give something to get something. Foligno can be a miserable piece of s*it, who I'll love to have for a playoff run. He also isn't afraid of crashing and banging and can defend. It's a solid add at an overpay. Clearly a win for the Jackets though, for sure.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>I'd still rather have Palmieri and Zajac than Foligno and Nash.

Weird that you keep bringing that year up, since he was by far the worst of their 3 good top-4 dmen that year. By that I mean, Manson has always been average at best and gets big minutes only because he's big and physical. Anyway, Montour was by far the worst of the group of Lindholm, Fowler and Montour in most metrics. Don't get me wrong, the two weren't great, they were actually quite bad, but Montour was even worse.

(BUF/FLA) - Montour for 2021 3rd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>
To use an anecdote, were Jeff Petry and Devan Dubnyk always bad players or were they just stuck on a horrible Oilers squad? Coaching, usage, and overall team strength are obviously much more important factors than a few users in this thread are letting on to.</div></div>
Devan Dubnyk's sv% with the Oilers:
88,9%(as a rookie)
91,6%
91,4%
92,0%
89,4%
And then he was traded for Matt Hendricks for some reason. He had one down year after his rookie campaign. He struggled with the Preds in the 2 games he played and bounced back to a 91,6% with the Yotes and going lights out with the Wild, being starting caliber until 2019.
Not really even a comparison. We're talking about a player who had a huge slump once in his career vs. one who has consistently shown he's bad. Also those Oilers, Yotes and Wild teams were never worldbeaters. Sure, they weren't as bad as the current Sabres, but it's not like Dubnyk's team made his work easy.

Your logic isn't very sound when you consider that Griffin Reinhart, who was ruled a bust by consensus, was traded for a 1st(Barzal) and a 2nd(traded up to select Beauvillier). Name recognition is a helluva achilles' heel for NHL GMs.

He was bad pre-Sabres. He was pretty good for Anaheim for a while but fell off hard the year he was traded to Buffalo. And yes, before the trade.

I really don't get this for the Sharks? Are they still under some delusion that they're competitive? Because they sure as hell aren't and should get prospects at this point, or, for Dubnyk, a reclamation project.

Name recognition is a helluva drug. His name was hyped so god damn hard a few years ago and it stuck with some people. Kyle Turris is another great example of this.

Montour is <em>terrible.</em> He's a near-completely offensive defenseman who also sucks at offense. One of the worst dmen in the league analytically too.

Yeah, it's the reason they traded for Horton and Clarkson too. It allowed them to go over the cap for the duration of those contracts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Can you explain to me how adding an LTIR contract ADDS cap space?</div></div>
Because they are up against the cap. Take their LTIR hit, minus their current cap space(something like 300k-ish?) and you get the <em>LTIR relief pool</em> they can work with. Nash + Andersen = 7,75-300k=7,45m they can use AS LONG as they have those two on LTIR, or until the playoffs start, when the cap becomes irrelevant.
E: Why this rule exists is probably so that cap teams which get hit by massive injury or injuries to their players and can still replace them.
