Thread: not bad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You may feel he's piled up enough value for Parayko, but nothing in that offer is tempting. I loved Jokihatju in Chicago, thought he was going to be really good, but he has not progressed. He may have devolved. Ostlund is a tiny C, which the Blues don't cate for much. The 1st is deferred and with this trade, the pick value likely plummets. The most instantly enticing piece in the package is Philly's 2nd. Exactly none of this hurts to give up. So I do not agree at all that this offer is strong enough to consider, and I'm safely guessing Army would say the same thing. Nobody is going to pull Parayko away without giving something that hurts. Bet the farm on that one.</div></div>

Just because he’s small doesn’t mean he doesn’t have value. He’s a skilled, 19yo C. It wouldn’t hurt to have in the system. The 24 1st would be in the 20-32 range but still holds value. And that early second this year would be great. With our LD situation, I think we need to shift towards 3 years out and not next year. Parayko is still a great player and will be for several more years but as noted by all these Buffalo fans, the end of the contract isn’t going to be ideal. That will be the timeframe when we’re competitive again. Cap space is an asset and this deal gives us that.

But again, that’s what I would want. I know Doug thinks he can turn it around in a year or 2 but I think all that’s gonna do is give us 10 years of mediocrity.

Instead of Jeannot, I'd target Garland for the 3rd line RW spot - he's clearly available, fits the work ethic / speed / forechecking style Granato prefers and 5x5 possession driver than Olofsson. If Krebs slides up to take Mittelstadt's place and Jost drops back between Girgensons &amp; Okposo, a 3rd line of Asplund-Krebs-Garland could be pretty good 2-way line that controls play and chips in some offense without getting caved in like the current 3rd line does.</div></div>
Many Sabres fans on this website have an obsession with acquiring a physical winger, which Garland is not. Jeannot is the general Target of that obsession because he had a decent offensive year last season, is young like most of our roster, and plays a physical style. I like both players for different reasons, but Jeannot is the younger player and less expensive currently. Consequently, you know a trade for him would cost more, but they have plenty of draft capital they can use to make something like that happen.
