Proposal: Buffalo / NY Rangers: Power + J. Quinn for Schneider + Cuylle

that teams are interested suggests different eyes see different things

I agree dif teams w/dif needs value assets differently, in part depending on needs

Schneid e.g., is worth a premium to club like LA, no young RD forcing restraint, and concern about affording Gavrikov as ufa
to other clubs, legit value, but not nec a premium

Borgen similar as to a parallel.

Agree neither is worth Power due to combo of factors incl BUF needs.
Except LA is loaded at RD, but needing LD. Kings aren’t going to pay a premium for a position that’s not a need.
 
Sure, but the Sabres need to adjust their core. What do the Rangers have to return that will help change the Sabres’ core? IMO Schneider, although a decent player, is a complimentary piece and not a core guy. Would the Sabres want Lafreniere?
We may have an idea, but are not nec clear on precisely what/how Sabes view as best approach to revising their core.
Schneid imo more than decent, not available typically.
So we are fine there.

LaF can be had for a tactical repurposing of assets, afaic, not requiring overpay.
I'm thinking Reinbacher has had issues w/both his knees.
How much of a gamble is he?
something around Rein for LaF as a core

but if BUF wanna give me an alternative, let's hear it...

Ks are not loaded, you're posturing.
Like I said, Doughty most of the year LTIR not crushing it on return, big ? near term how much he has left in the tank.
Clarke and Spence stay in the picture = 2 out of 3 actual righty shot RD
Gav - lefty plays either side, but some of yr posters lament cap too tight to keep

that is on top of whatev LD issues you admit to

Rs can help 1 of 2 ways
Do a variation of my prop
Schneid added solves RD
now w/By-guy to NY, can either keep Gav at bet 7-8 [we think] + rfa Schneid 1 yr til big salary is off the books;
or
larger variation, we add KAM who is not as polished but naturally gifted and we take Gav who we will pay top $ 8m per + $1m per bern requirement no nmcs/shorter term, so like 9 x 4 ish.

You are not wrong to say w/Kopitar AT START OF swan song etc there is cause to be concerned about pivot depth
All I'm saying is you can cover that internally and otherwise easier than quality actual RD who are not found league wide

Isn’t Reinbacher Habs’ property? Imo he’s definitely not a core player. Lafreniere could be a core piece for the Sabres. So switching Power for him would change the Sabres core. Not too sure that’s a fair trade though?

Yes Rein is Habs prop, I mentioned him as illustration of type of big deal gamble I'd consider.

Unless I got a better blow away offer*, I'd be good w/that b'c Rs need D and can hope to replace Ws more easily. As to what's fair, I guess that is for each side to see if return is worthwhile enuf to do the deal.

* In case of Rein, he is not established and an immediate improvement, also huge risk w/issues on both knees. But if he overcomes those concerns, he is big cheap add at position of need

Last time I posted a trade proposal I was laughed out of the forum…so go easy on me! Lol

Am I crazy or does this make both rosters look better?

I should add that I’m a Sabres fan who thinks who prefers to move the two Buffalo players this offseason, to balance the roster out, and I don’t necessarily need full value in return.
crazy. Unless that name becomes Fox.

You just don’t trade guys like Power yet unless it’s bringing a massive shift. As good as Schneider has been at times, he’s also been exposed more than you’d like to see from someone so well thought of.


Cuylle just doesn’t move the needle enough. These are the trades that keep Buffalo where they’re at.

imagine the asset management in terms what what the Sabres turned those draft positions into as well lol. It would fit like a glove to our M.O

Regardless of how all of this one-side diatribe strongly benefits the Rangers, RD is NOT an area of and in no way will Schneider get you Byfield ( you can keep KAM). Out of the players mentioned, the one most needed by the Kings IS Byfield. That’s a non-starter. If Byfield is available in so much as your vast expertise on the LA Kings suggests, the Rangers won’t be the only team tossing in proposal, and that your will be beat rather easily.

You’re correct, in that good RD are hard to come by. Probably the hardest to find is a 1C, yet that’s what you’re asking the Kings to do. Blake covers Cs, thus the PLD disaster. A young (22) C with Byfield’s size and skill set are not traded.
 
Agreed. Seems like there’s something around Laf + Schneider for Power and a young forward. Buffalo needs high end forward and rhd, Rangers need lhd and more defensive minded forwards.

Lafreniere isn’t a high end forward. He’s barely outscoring Power. There’s nothing there.
