(COL/BUF) - Byram for Mittelstadt

This should be common sense here but sadly many have never touched a puck or dont understand what they are watching</div></div>
It matters for some players and for others it doesn't. Not everyone is the same. Dahlin played on the right side in Sweden, which led to him being the consensus #1 pick in the draft. He played on the right side all last season and was a Norris candidate all year, until he got injured late in the season. Dahlin himself said he prefers playing on the right side. He can see the ice better there.

Just don’t think he’s the right target
There’s other guys out there that can help- example:
Trenin from NSH is a UFA after the season & is a big tough winger (who can also plate Center)
And we wouldn’t have to give up a good prospect to get him</div></div>
We need more than 1 player....We're losing a ton of Fs with no one that can immediately step in.
Mitts - out
Ox, Girgs, Olofsson - out soon
Robinson - potentially out
We need experienced F players and a lot of them. Plus don't really have much money to mess around with in FA.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>I doubt NyR moves him
He’s a decent player they likely don’t wanna give up on yet
Plus, they could get Girgs &/or Okposo from us for picks
So they don’t really have a reason to include him- not currently anyways- maybe in the offseason after another failed playoff run?
I don’t think he’s a guy the Sabres should target though
Idk, maybe it’s bc i don’t think he ever comes close to living up to his potential when drafted
I like our young talent & the way we’ve been developing these kids lately
I’d rather keep Ostlund than take on a bit of a reclamation project i guess</div></div>
When does Ostlund, if ever, start out-producing Kakko though? If he reaches his potential, maybe in 2027-2028?
KA is showing he is no longer in patience mode. Kakko helps now and in the future.

Ostlund is probably at least 2 years away from an NHL roster and then probably at least 2 more years before he is actually contributing, more than being detrimental.
Kakko helps sooner.

He is what he is- a decent 2way middle6 player
I’d rather hang on to Ostlund & see what he becomes
Okposo & Girgs (and EJ & Olofsson) can be shipped out to whoever will give us the best draft picks</div></div>
Not sure that I do want him. Just he's in the rumor-ville.
I think Ostlund's potential is probably higher.
BUT, BUF wants/needs grit and size. Something Kakko has and Ostlund does not.
I could see Kakko being a target for KA. Just seeing what a potential trade could look like...

(COL/BUF) - Byram for Mittelstadt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dahlin_On_Me</b></div><div>Like Mitts and will miss him. It will be interesting to see how he does on a better team. As far as Byram, haven’t seen him play but since he’s a 4th overall I’d guess he’s an upgrade for Sabres D. Concerning about his injury history however.
Looks good for Av’s at the moment but I think this deal will age well for the Sabres especially if Mitts isn’t resigned. Probably will he’s class.
For those on about the LH / RH D stuff, it’s not that big of a deal and if you can’t play both side you probably shouldn’t be playing in the NHL. Im rubbish but as a LH Defender myself I actually prefer to play in the Right. It’s better for one timers and poke checks. It’s a little harder on breakouts when you need to thread the needle on the backhand (only if there is o time and room) to your forwards. A pro should be able to manage.</div></div>
Yea, exactly. People are putting way too much emphasis on whether players are left or right-handed. Dahlin plays all over the ice. Power can too. The way more important thing is how defensive partners play together.
I see a lot of people saying "He's stuck behind Dahlin and Power". What if Power-Dahlin are your top pairing and Byram is on your second pairing with Clifton/Jokiharju/Ryan Johnson.
Either way lots of options.
I think critiquing the trade on handed-ness is just lazy.
Defense wins championships and BUF now has 6 former 1st rounder in:
Dahlin (#1)
Power (#1)
Byram (#4)
Jokiharju (#29)
Johnson (#31)
Samuelsson (#32)
That's a lot of young talent on D.
(and yes, please feel free to tell me that Samuelsson was actually a 2nd rounder)

I'm sure they were asking for a 1st. Apparently, no team offered them one, or at least no other team offered them a 1st + a prospect.
How did CAL get fleeced, exactly? Did you talk to some GMs around the league that were offering them a better return? Or are you just not thinking?

And it's more than 7 games.
Question: Did Ullmark suddenly become a markedly better goalie in BOS, winning a Vezina in the process. Or was he just playing behind a better team?
I'm a fan of both Ullmark and UPL, but I don't see any difference.

I know it won't ever happen, but switch UPL and Swayman...Put Swayman on the Sabres and there won't be any difference. Literally none, maybe even worse.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>You might be the only person alive who things UPL and Swayman are the same goalie or on the same level.
Mits is a #2C by the way. He is not a top centre.
The package is solid youngish #2C + good young back up goalie + early 2nd for a young top 10 goalie in the world.</div></div>
BOS goalies boast good numbers behind a good structured team D. That is obvious. UPL, by the way, has a .937 sv% going back to Jan 1, when he took over the starting job...Swayman? .912.
Mitts currently leads the Sabres in 5v5 TOI. He's also only behind these players in 5v5 points going on the past year+ (Since dec 9 2022):
1. MacK - 95
2. Pasta - 78
3. McD- 77
4. Kuch - 76
5. Point - 75
6. Rantanen - 71
7. Pettersson- 69
8. Matthews- 68
9. Mittelstadt - 67
The trade makes ZERO sense for the Sabres. ZERO.
We're getting a goalie who is playing worse on a much better team, plus giving a top-10 F in points, plus a top-40ish pick. In what world?
