Proposal: Buffalo: Peterka for Nemec, Byram for Rossi

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.
Minnesota Has Buium and is absolutely stacked on D. They don't need anymore Dman and won't block Buium
 
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.
I'd feel much better about Buium running the power play than Byram and his... *checks notes* ...10 career power play points.

Aside from sidestepping my point, your reply is not nearly as clever as you think it is.

The primary reasons Byram has so few PP points are Cale Makar and Rasmus Dahlin.

Add in Owen Power and Devon Toews and he simply hasn’t had the opportunity.

I believe Byram was 15th among NHL defencemen in ES points this year

Like Buium, Byram has a history and a skill set to be a good PP guy.

Unlike Buium, he is 23 with 200 NHL games of learning under his belt.

He’s of an age to when guys like Bouchard and Dobson took a step and is a better bet to be ready for it than Buium is.

Maybe Buium will be a stud at 19 like so many other defencemen over the past 15 years, just like…?

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.
2 posts in and the team with the atrocious pp maybe adding a pp quarterback says no because they’re good already. Lol at its finest.

Byram has been behind Makar than Dahlin so far and is one of the few trade baits that could potentially be a pp1 guy. If you think Buium is the answer, cool, but that’s a big question mark.

yeah dude they say no because they have Brodin, Jacob Middleton and Buium along with Carson Lambos long term at LD. Stop with these bs of wild needing a player who has ten power plays in his career and isn't good on D and trying to get paid. Biun in his short time playing actually helped the power play. so yeah, wild are giving him a spot.

The funniest part about this comment is that you don't even need to look at another team in the NHL to see a guy that scored 20 power play points as an 18 year old and then had 19 power play points in 59 games in a covid shortened season.

Maybe you should focus on your atrocious power play before worrying about another team's power play.

For those curious how the Wild went from ranked #10 on the power play in 2023-24 to #20 in 2024-25, please take a look at the number of games that Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek missed this past season.

That person isn’t a Sabres poster. They might possibly be an outside fan of the Sabres, but my assumption is they’re a Byram fan, as they only ever appear on the Sabres board in a discussion of him.
 
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
All of this above. Nemec has a spot early on for this team imo.
Palat move would be a dream
I think there are moves but not above $4-5M range. Team needs to get heavier, without giving up team speed.

This is all fair comment but I just don't see a fit for Bryam and Minny making a trade unless it's around Rossi and I'm not sure Buffalo is really interested given their forwards and young recent center draft picks.

There’s more seasons than just next year to plan for. Zeev and byram are extremely redundant long term. It’s a dumb argument. It doesn’t make any sense to use our best trade chip to acquire a player who, while an excellent player, doesn’t help with the most pressing need the team has: scoring forwards.
 
He’s been behind makar then dahlin. Hes never had a chance to run a pp. Faber and Spurgeon suck there and maybe Buium is the answer, but also maybe not.
Faber struggled last year, but was amazing his 1st season, so don't say he suck there because he doesn't. Wild aren't attempting to block jiricek or Buium so no they have no room, or need for Byram

Jiricek is blocked by default because of Faber, unless he surpasses him. And not that it would ever happen, but Faber is the only interesting option (to me) for Peterka.

Whereas if Minnesota had any interest in Byram+ for Faber (or Jiricek) swap, it would be a decent add from Buffalo (Quinn, Rosen, Helenius or Ostlund), and it’d vary depending on which dman the Sabres are getting back.

And yes, I know with you Faber AND Jiricek are absolutely non-starters in any hypothetical trade talks.

Your idea of "smart" is trading our best trade chip for a dman we don't need that wants a fat contract so we can *hopefully* improve something that will already be improved just by getting our superstar player and net front presence healthy and back on the power play.

Our power play was #10 with Brock Faber as the QB in 23-24.

The Wild are not trading for Byram.
