Confirmed Trade: [UTA/BUF] JJ Peterka (signs 5 years, $7.7M AAV) for Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan

[GellMann]

they just need their josh allen so they can lose every year in the third round too

True misery, Bills fans have hated every moment since 2018

 

[DistantThunderRep]

This would be a mammoth move for Utah. Really depends on what goes the other way, but it's all coming together for them. Kind of makes you think what stopped them from doing this in Arizona.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

A contingency could be NYI I suppose

A Dobson, Hagens, JPP 3 way

 

[StickShift]

Schmaltz or Marino are the players on Utah with partial NTCs. I imagine if one of them are involved they may not be thrilled about the idea of going to Buffalo.

A mammoth move for Utah eh? Hmmmm

 

[LemonSauceD]

Looking forward to this backfiring horribly for Utah

Why..?

Currently frozen, but the scientists are looking for a way to animate it…

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Probably Utah’s 2nd for Peterka and Buffalo’s 5th.

Man that’d be funny if this fell through because Schmaltz was like “nope, ain’t going to Buffalo”.

Well played, my friend.

 

[BobbytheBrain]

Buffalo is dumb. I'd trade atlrsst 4 other players before him

I'd assume Buffalo would rather have a tough guy like Crouse, anyway.

Doesn’t seem like he wants to be there.

I mean, based on the reports, Peterka doesn't want to be in Buffalo. Yes, he's an RFA, but if Buffalo can maximize the value of a miserable player, why not?

Adams all but confirmed it by refusing to comment

 

[Dirty Dog]

I bet whatever the trade is, Buffalo throws in a draft pick everyone wonders why they included

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Connor McDavid to Buffalo?

 

[bert]

Flip the 4th for dobson and then trade Byram

Thats what I was thinking but I think Dobson has more value than 4th OA.

To UTAH: Peterka, Byram
To NYI: 4th OA + Valimaki + 2026 2nd From Utah
To Buffalo: Dobson + Maccelli + 2026 2nd from Utah

 

[nickdawg95]

Peterka and keller become utah leading scorers, he's that good. PPG season incoming i'd bet the house on it baring injury

 

[Gregor Samsa]

So is this proof he wanted out?

 

[bert]

Or Utah flipping Peterka to Minnesota and reuniting Rossi with Tourigny

Minny fans in one thread claiming they dont want to trade Rossi then the next thread you see a hope deal with him involved lol.

 

[Zman5778]

@Zman5778 it is time

My body is ready.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Kevyn Adams somehow still runs the show in Buffalo, so I'm going to guess that instead of the 4th OVR pick coming back they get a return of Marino/Kesselring + Crouse/Maccelli + a pick

 

[Dirty Dog]

Utah has plenty that the Sabres would need and would make this a win win trade….but can the Sabres pull it off? Usually the answer is no

 

[Zman5778]

@Zman5778 it is time

By the way, for those here:

I have been SCREAMING from the rooftops in our forum that the following trade should occur:

Peterka and #9

FOR

Kesselring and #4
