Value of: Elias Pettersson - C

Pettersson for Tage Thompson. Both players could use a change of scenery.

No thx

That's true in any lockeroom issues between 2 players...you have 2 groups si a simple trade might not wear off


I'm skeptical of this. If the coach felt thus way then why not trade EP instead?

Or the Management showed them they are fed up so no one - except 43- is untouchable so grow up and be a man,get your shit together or we will send you the f*** out of here ……

Without Vancouver’s need for Power/Byram, I don’t think Buffalo is a good fit anymore. Kulich is a guy I can see Vancouver being interested in, but if he’s not available, don’t see a good fit. Columbus, possibly Anaheim, are much better trade partners.

Dude the orginization almost traded Pettersson to Carolina for the 2nd time so im gonna believe in room fracture conspiracy's yes sorry.

Even if Seravalli is a hack. He's just using common sense doesnt even need sources for this one.

That doesn’t mean the players wanted EP traded instead of Miller.

Could just mean they were expecting something that would immediately help the roster more.

And management has already shown they’d consider moving EP if it gives the team a better chance of winning. It doesn’t have to be more than that, as well as another option to end a dispute they couldn’t solve any other way.


It’s fair to speculate, but there’s endless scenarios that could have went down and don’t have to be as fantastical and extreme to create enough unrest to affect on ice performance.

And it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s this long lasting rift in the room.

These guys want to win, so any move that hurts those prospects is going to be a move most didn’t want to see.

Tage currently on pace for 45 goals and is currently the only consistent goal scorer on the Sabres. No to this.

No thx

How far Pettersson has fallen that Sabres fans won't even accept a 1 for 1 swap with Thompson who is older, worse defensively and never been considered as good as Pettersson (until this season).

Really telling.

No from Buffalo. Tage is fine.

He almost has 30 goals and it’s not even the break lmao. You watch Sabres games with your eyes closed?

I'd make that trade if I was Vancouver.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Until he proves he can return to 100 point form, and that wasn't just a result of his inflated on ice sh%, I am not really sure how much positive value he really has. His injury history, lack of consistency, and off ice issues are all big red flags for a guy with his AAV.

Pettersson has also seemingly had some sort of locker room issue. Maybe it's not his fault, maybe it is. He also potentially has some sort of lack of motivation. Thompson does not and has been a good soldier even through the Sabres being shit.

Make no mistake, I want EP on the Sabres. I would trade a haul for him. But trading Tage for him is just more wheel spinning. We are are getting rid of our 1C who under performed last year for another 1C with a couple question marks. Where is the incentive to do this other than doing a favour for Vancouver and helping them clean up their locker room?

I think the poster was more just venting frustrating with where Pettersson has fallen in the last year than suggesting the Sabres should do that deal.

Power for Petterson. Maybe add Ostlund or Rosen.

EP 40
Lekk

VAN picked up a top 4D. They lose EP and JT #1 and #2 C. They NEED centers. Chytil is a 3rd liner. Deal becomes Cozens+Kulich or 1 of them and assets to flip in a 1st, 2nd and prospect not named Helenius. Doubt they go after another D.
