Thread: Is it Enough
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Who the hell is Craig Rivet? Detroit's not trading their future Captain unless it's massive over-payment and this isn't massive over-payment nor does it move the needle. First off the Buffalo 2020 1st round pick would be lottery protected top 3 so anything less and we're not interested. Any deal for Larkin starts with Cozens+Ristolainen+Buffalo's 2020 1st round pick #7 overall non-protected and then some.</div></div>

first off if you are a hockey fan you should know who Craig Rivet is. Retired player who now hosts a Sabres radio show, there is NO protection on this 1st round pick. Obviously if the Sabres were to win the lottery this trade most likely doesnt go through. Mittlestat was an 8th overall pick and is only 21 yrs old with huge upside. his development was botched by the Sabres basically bringing him from High school to the NHL. Johnson was a 1st round pick last season and is a very highly ranked defense prospect. so in addition to thos players Detroit gets a top 10 pick in this years draft and a 2nd round pick most likely still in the top 40 picks in the draft. nobody is saying this is realistic, just a convo!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>:laugh :laugh Is this a joke? You think Mittelstadt who's best season is 25 points gets you anywhere close to Larkin who's best season is 73 points. Come on man i know Larkin is on Detroit but come on with these trash offers. We already told you that any deal for Larkin starts with at least Dylan Cozens and then add accordingly. Mittelstadt sucks and isn't anywhere close to value for Larkin.</div></div>

If you listen to the reasoning behind it, it makes some sense! by the time Detroit is relevant again Larkin will be in the later stages of his career! If they were to trade him now for good young assets, All of their young prospects grow at the same pace and would all be similar in ages so they could sustain a good team for years to come.

If you read my description you would know that this was discussed on the radio this morning by Craig Rivet. Mittlestat is only 1 piece here, Detroint is getting a potetial top 5 pick in this years draft, a high second round and 2 1st round prospects in this deal. i dont think it is all that far off to be honest!

Thread: do something
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Well, I hope for your sake you can salvage something from this move.

I find the Buffalo situation this year fascinating. I think that Botterill has a chance to really "ladder" some draft choices by trading away guys like Miller, Sheary, Vesey, Girgensons, Bogosian, etc. Say he gets a fourth each for Sheary and Vesey and a fifth for Girgensons (a survey I've done of the last 125 Sabres posts gives those average values for them, each one being traded at least a dozen times). Botterill can probably then trade a fourth and a fifth for a third twice.</div></div>

I see what you are saying here, but that puts us into the realm of "rebuilding"! This team has been rebuilding since '07 he needs to start building and stop tearing it down year after year! By time the draft picks pan out Eichel and Dahlin will be retiring! Lol
