Seravalli: Buffalo may not have a choice but to trade Peterka

toddkaz said:
You are the one that said you agree with the other poster. You think Buffalo will lose another 14 years unless they get McDavid.

You butted into the conversation and then tried to change the subject.

Perhaps you should learn how to read. Sorry but your nonsense doesn't fly here.

I didn't say that. I agree with the notion buffalo needs major change to be a playoff team on a yearly basis and agree that rejecting mcdavid for dahlin is ridiculous and reflects the lack of urgency in buffalo

Why did you even butt into the conversation in the first place?

I called the guys take a hot take and you said he wasn't wrong.

His take was awful and you defended it.

Couldn't disagree with you more here. Yes, he his signed for another 6 years and will be 37 when the contract expires, but $6.25 million for a #1 Dman is criminally low. Heck, the Flames paid Giordano $6 million until he was taken in the expansion draft, and he was 37 at the time, and won a Norris at 35. By the time Weegar gets over 35 his contract will still be a steal with the projected cap increases.

Weegar's contract is a plus, not a negative, and should be for the entire life of the contract as Weegar doesnt really play the style of game you would expect from a player that would decline quickly. He's already not a particularly fast skater, he's just a really smart effective top pairing dman.

I think most people understand Weegar's contract is great, even if the end years of that deal aren't great if/when the wheels start to fall off. I'd give a ton to get him on Buffalo and I'm sure most Sabres fans would as well. DJP just hates 99.9% of proposals involving the Sabres and he frequently overrates our players and what they'd return.

To be fair.. 92.333% of all proposals on this board are terrible

How is that a bad take? Mcdavid for dahlin would be the worst trade of all time

Hes an anchor for the last half of the contract. I dont have him as a top Fmsn because of that.

I give up.

You are right. Unless Buffalo trades Dahlin for McDavid they will miss the playoffs the next 14 years.

No that's not why.

It's because they refuse to hire credible staff especially, but not limited to the GM.

I would argue they have the worst GM in the sport.

Yeah, but that means that 7. 567% of the proposals could be pure gold.


As far as JJP, keep him if you can. Hard to say if some of the reports about him ebing unhappy in BUF are inaccurate, or posturing for contract purposes.

Byram... trade him if you can for a solid RHD or #2C, but otherwise keep him and pair him with Dahlin. Sabres have to be somewhat happy with how the Byram/Mitts trade worked out in retrospect.

As many others have said above, i don't think the problem with the Sabres is the on ice personnel. Sure, they might not be Cup contenders, but they have enough talent to be a middle of the pack team. They are simply lacking leadership.

The thing is, Weegar is worth far more than $6.25 million right now, after his last 2 seasons he’s probably worth $9 million. Any regression in the last years of his contract (35-37years old) as you suggest and in confident he’s still worth at least $6 million with an increased cap. I don’t think it’s a safe bet at all, in fact quite the opposite.

I don’t want to derail this discussion too much, as I’m quite confident that Weegar is going nowhere, especially in a trade for a winger. Weegar is the Flames #1 dman and most likely captain when Backlund retires. They are happy to keep him and will use other assets to try to improve the forward (center especially) positions.
