Roslovic better start developing soon as he is looking like a bottom 6 forward.
I prefer to trade Perreault but Roslovic may be the one who goes to get the right return.
Of course you'd prefer to trade Perreault, clears over $4million off your cap next season, and he is on the down and Roslovic is on the up.
I think a trade could be worked out where the Sabres take Perreault, but the 2020 1st has to be part of the deal, as well as a center prospect with 2C/3C upside.
Risto/Montour
Vesey
Perreault
2020 1st
Gustafsson/Nikkanen
That is, I think, how a trade would/could/should look. Sabres would take Perreault but need to dump a forward (Vesey being the obvious choice). This only works (I think) if Byfuglien isn't playing this year, or doesn't come back until the trade deadline. As a Sabres fan I'd like to see a Roslovic/Rodrigues swap in here as well, but that may be pushing it.
It helps the Jets in 2020/21. Assuming Byfuglien is done, there is space to sign another RHD (Risto/Montour taking the contract slot of Perreault).
And from the Sabres perspective I think a 7/8 playoff spot is a win for this year, and this may be the final futures move for a very long time. 2 picks in the 17-24 range and Gustafsson/Nikkanen mean low salary roster options 2022-2027 when the Sabres will have 4 players taking up 38million or so and (hopefully) Mittelstadt and Olofsson in the 6-7 million a year range. Hopefully
