Value of: Brandon Carlo to the Buffalo Sabres

[Davenport]

The Sabres need someone exactly like Brandon Carlo to pair with Owen Power. Carlo - a right-hand shot - is a veteran with size, and a willingness to use it. What would Buffalo have to offer to convince the Toronto Maple Leafs to trade Carlo to them?

More than what they gave.
So a B prospect. 1st,4th

Plus the add

Right, because you guys are doing so well with the team you have..

Sabres wont overpay

I would need 9th OA in that deal to trade him.

If leafs win a cup or make SCF this year just keep him and go for it again next year

If we lose to FLR or ECF and do quick retail than I'd see what his price is.

But Sabres would have to overpay for a player that fits their team and them being a divisional rival

Any interest from either side on a deal based around Carlo for Byram?
What would be the add?

Since Byram has to be signed this summer - while Carlo has two more seasons - the Leafs might be leery of him. Mattias Samuelsson might be a different story - he's signed for three more seasons, and is three years younger than Carlo. The upside for Buffalo would be that Carlo is better defensively and more physical - plus he earns less than Samuelsson. If the Sabres made that trade - obviously with other pieces involved - they could then entice Byram to re-sign with the promise he'd be on the first pair with Rasmus Dahlin, while Owen Power - and the entire team - would benefit from having someone like Carlo paired with him.

How are Carlo's defensive 5v5 numbers? If he is riding with Power, he needs to be strong at 5v5 and on the PK.

[lanceuppercut75]

Leafs will keep him unless they're trading Matthews and or Nylander for a huge retool. Unless that happens, overpay is required. Not even 100% sure the 9th overall pick gets it done.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

The Leafs have no reason to trade Carlo, or touch their defense at all really, there are some choices to be made up front but the defense and goaltending is set, I mean maybe they look to get a new #7 but that's a minor move and even then I don't mind Myers as the #7.

There is no need to even consider this unless #9 was on the table

I like Samuelsson but he misses WAY to much time so I wouldn't even consider that unless there was more coming from Buffalo.

And that's not going to happen.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Not seeing why the Leafs move on from a cheap, good defensive defenseman.

Especially considering they would not likely get back what they gave up for him.

Brandon Carlo is not worth the 9th pick in the draft.

You can't be serious

I'm aware of that that's the point it would take a MASSIVE overpay.

There is no reason to do it otherwise

Toronto isn’t selling on Carlo.

The Sabres (and others like Detroit and Montreal) will be better off pursuing a Nic Hague, who Vegas isn’t going to be able to keep, and hoping he takes that next step, becoming a Carlo.

Sometimes it’s all about more opportunity and because he can file for arbitration, that’s going to happen somewhere other than Vegas.

Guess is, someone will send Vegas a 2nd rounder (or equivalent) for Hague, and there’s a good chance of it turning out to be a great move. Similar to when Tampa quietly traded for Cernak.

Or Buffalo trades Power and forgoes the need to find him a babysitter.

Not good in Boston w which was why he got traded.

 

[TageGod]

Sabres trade Byram for a "style" defenseman swap. Otherwise, you get Rosen Samuelsson and a 3rd.

IIRC, they’ve been rough for the last few years. He had a couple good seasons in Boston when the team was still good, but his reputation seems to be a product of those good teams more than a contributing factor in them.

Leafs aren’t touching their defence at all. It still has flaws but this is the best it’s been in decades and all of the pieces are signed to multi year deals with good contracts.

They are spending about $26m on their 7 D next season. Thats incredible value and is completely needed in order to keep their high priced forwards

Looks like we are both good here then.

Mock all you want, buffalo isn't doing squat with what they have.

He has zero willingness to use his size and has an entire career to prove it.
