Thread: Timo Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>That may not be enough to dump Anderson on them and return Meier.</div></div>

There isnt a Credible Journalist or Columnist who suggest Anderson has anything but a positive trade value.
They do often point out no one's going to "give up the farm " for him as per Mckenzie but there's a lot of teams interested in making a deal.


Islanders were linked in a deal where they'd include Bailey to help offset the Cap
Calgary in a deal where Lucic was likely going to be dumped to make it work
NJD were linked many assumed for a package with Tatar but then he heated up and talks went dead (after 11 points in 11 games he's 0 points in the last 6 ice cold again)

Factor in Hughes basically every month as said he wont trade him unless someone overpays.
I think the only team bold enough is NJD right now as their GM has been very open about the type of player he wants and if he cant land Meier he might focus on Anderson again.
NJD are ready to use Holtz to make a move because he cant crack their top 6 despite overperforming at the AHL level they're just too deep but on MTL Holtz is top 6 easily
Plus its the type of player Hughes constantly says interests him more then picks is high end prospect ready to make the jump

Thread: The Sorokin Dilemma
1- you’re asking for too much (essentially three 1sts)
2- I’d think that one piece going back to NYI in a trade with Buffalo would be one of their young goalie prospects
*I’ve previously said that Levi is basically “untouchable” from the Sabres side- BUT- in a deal like this, Sorokin would become our goalie “of the future” and thus, become available

So what would a more realistic package (imo) look like?
Like i said. It starts with a goalie prospect
Previously mentioned Levi is the most talented prospect,
but UPL has been breaking into the league this year for us playing quite well

So I’d guess a package would look more like:

Levi, Krebs, ‘23 2nd (since we have 3 of them)
or
UPL, Krebs, and then maybe u could get the ‘24 1st
*if the pick stayed a 2nd, then i could see the Sabres add another forward prospect (not Savoie)- we have a bunch of guys that are “middle6” quality prospects that could be available in a deal like this

All of this is imo of course
1- no Savoie
2- a goalie prospect would be a key part
3- possibly a 2nd (maybe +) instead of the 1st


I do think multiple teams would be interested,
so it is *possible* a bidding war breaks out to increase the price
But in general, i do think you’re asking too much for a goalie
And Sorokin is 27 (be 28 next year), isn’t exactly all that young,
more like “young-ish”
