Proposal: Kesselring and/or Whitecloud to Buffalo

[dkollidas]

Buffalo needs RHD.

Both are unproven enough that they don’t have any trade restrictions so that isn’t an issue.

Both have players above them on their side that they likely won’t be top-4 in the next couple seasons.

Pieces Buffalo could offer (either as part of a bigger deal or straight up, looking for what Vegas/Utah fans need) include but not limited to:
-Quinn
-Samuelsson
-Byram
-9th OA
-Prospects preferably not named Kulich Ostlund Wahlberg Helenius.

Close…good base.

Utah trades Durzi or Marino before Kesselring. Preferably Durzi.

 

[Beerz]

Close…good base.

Who is this Castagna? .... Must be something if Keaserling is going to pull in that much.

 

[Panthaz89]

Close…good base.

Not really sure what makes this close........not too mention Ostlund is someone we really need to succeed to improve our center depth.

Nope to Ostlund. Pick another prospect that's not him or Helenius. Or simplify to Byram for Kesselring.

Whitecloud could be had with Korzcak needing a spot on the right side. It's just going to be a matter of do they want his cost certainty or do they want to trade Hague instead and move Theodore to the left.

Ideally we'd get back an NHL ready young top 9 wing. Maybe Quinn? If not probably something like 2 2nds for trade ammo.

No way.....

Kasserling is s bottom pair
Cadtagns was a 3rd rounder 2 yrd in at Cornell at 70 OA in 33

Both those will not get Ostlund alone

No way.....

Kasserling is a bottom pair

Kesselring looked REALLY good in Utah last year. I wouldn't think of him as a bottom pair RHD anymore. He's a top 4 guy now IMO.

This.

Take out Ostlund and it might just work.

I believe Quinn for Whitecloud is pretty fair and as a Sabre fan would do this to add a veteran RHD to the squad

Tell me about Castagna.

But this is a very intriguing base.

The only issue with Quinn (for Vegas) is that he needs a new contract. The "good" news is that he cost himself a literal ton of money by having a craptastic year......but he's still likely to get 1-1.5M on a bridge deal, IMO. So that would negate a bit of cap savings for you guys.

I wonder if you'd actually be better off with something like Rosen and a pick (the Wild's 4th this year?). Rosen is still on his ELC next year and is pretty much NHL-ready.

Just a thought.
