Proposal: NJ/BUF

[dgibb10]

Why do the Sabres need more picks? Why trade him for less of a return than we bought him for? Why trade him when was a specific target for the team? We paid a 2nd for Malenstyn and Greenway is twice the player.

Buffalo need to extend good players, not trade them.

The offer in the op makes no sense.

Why would you trade him for less than you bought him for??

Well you bought 2 years of him.

In this case you'd be selling 1 year.


Most assets depreciate in value.

In this case that asset still holds value to the Sabres. So I'd guess they'd probably rather keep a useful player than trade him for a scratch off ticket. Now if the deadline rolls around and the Sabres are well out of the playoff race maybe they ship Greenway out for futures, but I can't blame Sabres fans for recoiling at decent roster players being shipped out for more middling futures.

Do you think Greenway is likely to resign?
You don't have to actually draft and develop the player. You can flip the asset down the line for a piece that fits your timeline.

Buffalo appears bad again this year.

So they have 3 options.

Buy
Hold
Sell

I get the thought of selling is bad but would you rather they try and buy further? or hold and likely lose most pending UFAs for nothing?

There is a real chance of him resigning. Both him and thompson go back to team USA U18 team

Buffalo appears bad again this yea

Its early in the year. Half their F are new and they have a new coach. There have been numerous team who turned it on in thr last 50 games after playing around .500.

So they have 3 options.

Buy
Hold
Sell

If they are out near the deadline they could look to trade him then in a selkers market
