Confirmed Trade: [COL/BUF] Casey Mittelstadt for Bowen Byram

Colton for Peterka+2nd
Or
Colton for Quinn+2nd

Yeah Colton doesn’t return either of those guys, much less with a plus.

E: though I’m guessing from the user name, you might not exactly be the most level-headed Avs fan when it comes to Colton.

I think Rosen/Johnson are the reasonable targets from Col in this type of trade

I'd say so too... but I have no interest in dealing Johnson.

Rosen could work

Rosen wears#18 for Rochester though..

LOL. What?

Quinn and Peterka both have a ton of value. Krebs would be an interesting starting point. Buffalo would likely need to add, but Krebs has potential to be a good top-9 C and has some sand paper to his game even if he is built like gumby.

Quinn and Peterka both have a ton of value. Krebs would be an interesting starting point. Buffalo would likely need to add, but Krebs has potential to be a good top-9 C and has some sand paper to his game ever if he is built like gumby.

I was looking at Krebs but he needs a new deal and the point of trading Colton would be to save at least 3M at a forward position. But the bigger reason is that Krebs and Byram are like BFFs and they won't move him for that reason.

Coltons got that Stanley Cup experience, definitely help your roster.

Ah, makes sense. If we're trading Peterka, or especially Quinn, then we're BIG fish hunting. Think Crouse or of similar ilk. Colton would be perfect for Buffalo's third line, and it appear he's the type of player Adams is in search of.

Got to give to get sometimes, this thread is perfect example.

Rosen for Colton would be very interesting to me.

I think that most Sabres fans understand that idea.

Colton is a nice player. He fits what Buffalo would want. But he's not "Peterka and a 2nd" caliber. Put the 2nd on the other side of the deal and maybe that's a starting point.

Rosen and a 2nd might be doable.

And tbh that 2nd probably wouldn't become a drafted player

Rosen seems like an interesting fit. Talented F on his ELC. Probably would have a much harder time getting a prospect of that caliber out of most teams other than the Sabres just because of the sheer number of young wingers we have. While Colton would offer Buffalo more of the kind of middle 6 blue collar type it has few of.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Colton for Peterka+2nd
Or
Colton for Quinn+2nd

Yeah that’s not even remotely close and going to fly with Sabres fans. Colton is a solid player but not the kind I’m giving up Jack Quinn or JJ Peterka for.

 

[Avs44]

Highly doubt Colton is moved -- I think it's significantly more likely it's Lehkonen -- but I'm glad to see that the suggestion of Colton to Buffalo is causing a little friction. There was far too much niceness going on in this thread.

 

[BobRossColton]

The only way I'm okay with lehkonen going, is if there's a seamless transition between kovalenko and him.

I prefer the trade that was proposed on HFSabres from someone from the Avs board. Colton + Byram for Mitts.

So Colton for futures considerations it is!

Is there an updated height weight for Rosen? I don't think 156lbs survives in bednars system.

You looking at his draft profile?

Sabres site has him at 6’ even and 173lbs

Capfriendly, but just looked at EP. 6' 174 is better

 

[John Mandalorian]

In all seriousness, the Avs will have to say goodbye to at least one, perhaps 2 of Colton/Lehkonen/Girard/Manson if Landeskog is healthy. Colton/Manson would probably be the first to go but Buffalo would be a great trading partner once again.

Colton insulates the progression of Ritchie. Guess again.

Mittelstadt’s apple on the 2nd Walker goal tonight was pretty amazing. Great patience and vision to get the game tied up.

He matched up against Pettersson in Vancouver then McDrai in Edmonton and won both match ups.
