Ok, I'll also bet you $100 no team is going to give you a top ten pick and a blue chip prospect they drafted in the top ten for a rental.

The whole idea of Horvat to the Sabres is worrisome. Horvats having a career year and needs a contract and if Buffalo trades for him, they're going to be obligated to sign him. I just don't want to see Buffalo give some albatross nine or ten million dollar contract to Horvat until he's 35 who's probably going to be a fifty point 2c.

That’s less than what Andrew Copp returned last deadline. Horvat is much better than Copp and currently 2nd in the league in goal scoring. He’s returning a 1st or equivalent prospect minimum.

look around thr league…how many teams have traded their 1st or their2nd in 23 or have bern trading quite a bit of high picks in prior drafts or future drafts.
also this year, unlike last year, you should see a packed group of playoff teams battling for a playoff spot. Those bubble teams aren’t giving up a 1st in any dealwithout significant restrictions
then there is the cap…remember that…rangers last year had space to do such a trade. Given Horvat salary, and actual owed salary. Having to use a pass thru team will affect the return where instead of a 1st it’s a 2nd and 3rd do thr middle team gets the 3rd to retain. $500K in actual pay by middle team=2nd round pick in pass thru

Obviously teams are going to be more leery of trading their 1st’s an entire season before the draft. But at the deadline, any team trading their 1st is going to be pretty certain it won’t be a lottery pick.
Or the Canucks can retain or take back a contract. Horvat, with his production and age, it’s likely whatever team that trades for him is doing so to keep him longterm.

No they won’t. No any GM will do that for a rental
he does not have that value. Then look at the teams cap structure and future contracts.
Not the right team to trade, Buffalo is not competing not sure why they would add a rental. Should easily get a 1st from contender

If the Sabres aren't doing that it's because they are not buying which is fair.
Horvat absolutely has that value. Lesser players have fetched at least a 1st come Deadline.

Yes. The Canucks actually did this with Patrick White in the Ehrhoff trade with San Jose. Basically traded him as a 1st round pick that nobody was going to sign, as effectively a "2nd round compensatory pick".

Two firsts and a prospect for an expiring contract? Really
Hope you get it.

Well he said 1st and another conditional 1st, and mid tier prospect, that has absolutely happened
one 1st, one CONDITIONAL 1st and a mid tier prospect, is that really a lot?

not under current rules where the comp pick was tied to a UFA resigning. You can’t do that anymore. His price st deadline is just for a rental.
You can see that? Clean your glasses. Why does Buffalo want a guy on one year deal? For a 10-15 pick, an extra first and a decent prospect? LOL. The things that get said in here.
