Proposal: OTT-BUF proposal

[SensFactor]

I'd love Peterka over Quinn to unite him with Stutzle. Not sure what it would take

It’s tough to gauge if he ends up as a 2C or 3C, he’s kind of in the middle. Has skill but not sure he is skilled enough to carry a line. I would say he has played well along side talented players but his offense disappears along side less skilled players. Right situation he could be a 2C. I don’t think Ottawa is the right situation for him, this season he’s been stuck at wing. I think eventually he becomes a trade chip, especially if Ostapchuk solidifies his position on the big club.

I would keep both for a while as I think it is important to build a solid bottom-6. They are young and shouldn't become very expensive. They are also the last 2 forward graduates and might be for a while...

Both are defensive specialists but Greig has more offensive skill and should be a fixture on the 3rd line. Ostapchuk would be on the 4th line

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
?????? - Stutzle - ??????
Greig - Pinto - ??????
Reinhardt - Ostapchuk - ??????

Solid proposal. I could see both Quinn and Greig flourishing after a swap like this.

Neither team does it because NHL GMs are too scared to do a trade like this inside their division. If their guy hits his potential on a new team it reflects poorly on them

Seems to me, Pinto should be the guy the Sabres target if making a move like this. Even that though I think Sabres need to target veteran guys.

The price for Pinto would be astronomical.

I don't think the Sens need to make a move like this. Greig is an identity player who has shown flashes of being a gritty top 9 player with hands. Those do not grow on trees.

While I like Quinn, I think he has more bust potential and I'm not sure he plays the two-way game we're looking for.

The teams themselves are bad trading partners, though. Both looking to take the next step, not looking to downgrade.

Jack Quinn is a good defensive player.



This kid has too much raw skill and talent to give up on after a bad 30 game stretch. No way I even contemplate this proposal.

You know exactly what it would take. One of your young top 6 forwards. Gaudette doesn't count. That being said, Sabres aren't looking to move Peterka.

He wouldn’t be cheap.

Young 6’3 220 RS centre. The whole point would be filling the 2C hole Buffalo has.

As I stated after I think they need more proven guys anyways. Not more young players yet to reach their prime.

Quinn will turn it around.

For what it's worth both players have been playing very well and producing as of late.
