Proposal: Buffalo: Peterka for Nemec, Byram for Rossi

[Giant Panda]

Just spit balling ideas. Buffalo allegedly is moving on from some players, some other teams have players out there.

Who adds to each of these trades?

This has been talked about in other thread, respectfully no need to create another one
MN says no because they are stacked on LD and have no need for any LD or D at all

Dunno about adding, but subtracting Byram out of the MN trade is a start. As mentioned. Very little need whatsoever for defense for the Wild. Scoring is the need. Centers & wingers.

Picks & defense are not interesting.

I don't think that makes Buffalo a better team so why would they do it?

 

[majormajor]

In terms of value I think it might go something like this: Peterka > Byram, Rossi >> Nemec.

Peterka is too good to be moved for Nemec.

Byram and Rossi would be reasonable if Minnesota needed a D, which they don't. Now Peterka for Rossi is close enough, though I wouldn't do it from Buffalo's perspective. And if it's a matter of Peterka's contract demands, well Rossi has those too. So what can Buffalo do here? Just trade for worse cheaper players?

Rossi & Brodin

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Who are the players that want out of Buffalo?

Isn't Byram's whole schtick that he wants a bigger role with top power play minutes? Can't see the Wild going after him with Buium on the roster now.

Rossi & Brodin

No, take out Byram and Brodin out of this deal.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

As already stated, Wild have Buium so do not need Byram. They also aren't looking to trade Brodin unless there's a legitimate top 6 center coming back that is 6 feet minimum height.

 

[MK9]

I honestly wouldn't have that much of an issue with Brodin being dealt. While I wouldn't say I'm looking for them to get him gone, I personally think they should (for once) trade a player while they can still get good value for him. He's getting older. While I wouldn't call him fragile, he's not had a full season in a good while. I think he'd be a good trade to a team that's deeper into their window. The Wild aren't quite there yet. So if they can get a good young defenseman for him that can slot into the top 2-3 spot sooner rather than later, then you do that. To me, Byram isn't it. At the very least, he's not what they should be after. I think he's more risk than reward at this point.

The other important detail is, he [Brodin] has a NMC. So, unless it's to a team that's in the thick of things, he's probably not doing that. And Buffalo ain't it.

NMC drops off completely once July 1st hits this year. Could be an interesting twist.

What exactly does Buffalo need outside of a defensive RHD?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Needs to be paired with one hell of a Brodin/Spurgeon trade.

I got some really, really bad news for you

Coach, GM, and owner. Not necessarily in that order.

I think the BUF/MN thing has been talked to death. I sure don't want Guerin outbidding everyone else for Peterka, like he did for Jiricek.

Seems we just went through a bunch of this here -

Proposal: Post in thread 'Buffalo-Minnesota'

Wednesday at 9:59 PM

Everyone needs those most in a 6'2 220lb frame, but those players aren't common. But when it comes to what you're giving up to get him in this hypothetical scenario, Peterka doesn't have those either.

Agreed.

The reason I'd be willing to give up what Peterka has is to get some of the things he doesn't.

Generally speaking, the Sabre forward ranks lean toward scoring goals and rushing the puck and away from killing plays and cycling the corners

They need to correct that balance and Rossi doesn't really do that.

Yeah? Tell me less.

 

[Baksfamous112]

I kinda like the NJ trade. Helps both team. I suspect BUFF would also want to add experience on the backend. Maybe trade Byram for a forward and then sign Ekblad?

 

[Djp]

Besides D first RD....to pair with Power or Byram

1. A more of a short term vet C that has 2 yrs left which plays 2C but also can play wing.


In 2 yrs zucker, greenway, and this player would be UFAs and csn be replaced by the ELCs


2. A LD to pair with Dahlin. Samuelsson has been oftern injured. When healthy he has done well with Dahlin.

I'm not against trading current players in deals that include draft picks or unsigned prospects

Right now they have depth in their prosoect pool at AHL level.

On ELCs now

F--Kulich, Rosen, Ostlund, Wahlberg, Helenius
D Johnson, Komarov, Novikov
G Leinonen, Rat,laff
Others

Prospects
F ZEIMER
D kleber. Strbak, McCarthy, Geary
Others

Having draft picjs in 26-28 gives them trade bait at deadline and restock orispect pool. During thus same time, Buffalo coukd br trading sone if these Prospects fir future picjs%ELCs because they can't have them all.

They sre going to have to trade out some players this summer...based on contracts...

Benson -NorrIs-thompson
Zucker-Kulich-xxx
Greenway-McLeod-Tuch
Malenstyn-Krebs-xxx
Lafferty

RFA--PETERKA, QUINN, KOZAK
AHL( primary callups)--Rosen, ostlund

I can see them trading Peterka or Quinn


xxx-Dshlin
Power-xxx
Samuelsson-Clifton
Bryson
RFAs-- Byram, JBD, Ryan Johnson

 

[landy]

I actually like this for all teams. Nicely done.

Minny needs a pp1 guy and that can be Byram. Let Faber be the all around guy and spurgeon isn’t the best there.

Nuh. They don't. Buium is likely that answer. Thanks anyway.

 

[Forge]

Unfortunately, probably doesn't work for the Devils.

They honestly couldn't afford Peterka. This is a cap strapped team. They have like 11 million in space and need a new contract for Luke Hughes (which should be a long term, would be a terrible idea to bridge him). Assuming that it is 8-9 million, that leaves them with maybe 3 million in space. They have 10 forwards (I'm not counting Macdermid, but if you did they'd have 11 and he'd eat up another 1.35 in space).

They may have some wiggle room with Kovacevic on LTIR to start the season, but I don't think the expectation is that they are going to be missing him for the year.

The only real way for this team to find money is going to be through moving Dougie or they get super lucky and Palat actually wants to leave.

If you trade Dougie you can then afford Peterka financially, but at that point your RHD is shredded. Dougie gone, Nemec gone, Kovacevic hurt. You've got Pesce, Casey (who I don't believe the team trusts yet and would prefer to have in the AHL) and then you need to find another

 

[Satanphonehome]

Nuh. They don't. Buium is likely that answer. Thanks anyway.

Not many successful teams have a 19-year-old running their power play.
I mean it's not impossible, but it is unlikely.

Best-case scenario for Buium might be Evan Bouchard. It took 6 years for him to become what he is.
