Value of: Pick #13. BUF looking for top 4 RD

[Blackhawkswincup]

Buffalo is probably willing to part with some combination of Olofsson, picks 39 & 45 for the right deal as well

That'll get you Olofsson and 45. Puts Jokiharju on the block with 13OA to find someone to push Murphy to the 3rd pair.

How about #39 + #45 for Murphy?

 

[Djp]

Jonathan Kovacevic for the 13th OA.

Hell no.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Hamilton is the comp you’re looking for. That was a mid-1st and early-2nd coming for a RHD coming off his ELC. However, that one gets spoiled a bit by Ristolainen getting the same return basically with 1 season left until UFA years later.

It probably isn’t going to make that player available, but can be competitive if the player is made available for another reason.

How about #39 + #45 for Murphy?no.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Can Erik Karlsson fit on Buffalo’s roster with the right deal?

buffalo also doesn’t really need a high profile D like Hamilton who wants a big payday.

irrelevant of offering up the pick….

buffalo would be looking for a more low profile D to acquire that wouldn’t cost $7M+ to resign.

I think they want someone with 3-4 yrs left/ team control who costs under $5M

they use this pick or a 1st if they flip it in a trade for a later 1stv and draft a RD for future who isn’t rushed.

No

Chychrun is a LD who has played on right side.

Romanov was decent enough. Coming off an ELC he had 4+ yrs of team control. I understand why the Isles did it.

are you still looking for thst top 5 pick getting traded?

I never bothered to look because I know none have been traded but neither has a top 2/3 RHD under 25 with 4+ years of team control.

Just the mere fact that you’re serious about « potentially » moving the 13th for that makes me laugh. I would trade Montreal’s 5OA in a heartbeat for the same player you’re looking to acquire for the 13th. I guess that counts as a top 5 pick?

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Addison is available.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Addison is available.

And healthy scratched

 

[Wattsburgh]

Petry to the Sabres sounds about right. You make the cap room. If you need to send someone over go for it. I’ll get a third team involved lol.

To PIT: 13

 

[go4hockey]

Matt Roy and a 2nd

Trading Roy make LA worse. Don’t see the Kings moving him.

 

[Wattsburgh]

Addison is available.

Good trade actually. Not sure about 13. Maybe Minnesota adds a pick to it.

And healthy scratched

He’s young. No different than POJ being recently scratched when PIT got Kulikov.

 

[MoneyManny]

You will get garbage proposals…

to get 13OA it would be someone either on ELC or ELC just ended, or they finished year 1 of a 6+ yr contract signed after an ELC ended.

The player would have to be U25 and 4+ yrs of team control Who would be a 2/3 D. And actually shoots right, not just plays on right side.

13oa gets you Alexander Romanov dude, don't go crazy now.

 

[gianni]

I'd like a storybook ending for Tyler Myers; and end his career where it started.

 

[Zman5778]

Matt Roy and a 2nd

I made that exact same proposal on the Sabres board and got roundly roasted by quite a few of my bretheren.

But I do feel as though it's fair value, especially if we can get Roy extended reasonably.

 

[Zman5778]

Can Erik Karlsson fit on Buffalo’s roster with the right deal?

Not really. He can fit in cap-wise.......but we've got Dahlin and Power to handle the offense-driving requirements from the defense.

 

[Diaspora]

13oa gets you Alexander Romanov dude, don't go crazy now.

Us Sabres fans are used to our picks being worth more.

We don't have any idea of what 13OA actually can buy.

 

[captainpaxil]

You can have risto flyers take back 13 and you keep the change

 

[Perry Tegula]

Addison is available.

Gotta be a defensive rock. Power is going to be the scorer.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

That'll get you Olofsson and 45. Puts Jokiharju on the block with 13OA to find someone to push Murphy to the 3rd pair.

Chicago would never accept that as they probably have zero interest in Olofsson. The Jake McCabe return would suggest that Murphy could certainly fetch a 1st. Not sure why you think he isn't a top 4 defensemen though

 

[randywoodsghost]

Petry might make this team marginally better but Adams better aim higher this offseason.

The drought has to end next season and with all of his assets, Adams better swing for the fences.

 

[EK392000]

Can Erik Karlsson fit on Buffalo’s roster with the right deal?

I don't think so. I have Buffalo making the playoffs next year but it'll be a few years before they really start contending (naturally given how young their roster is). By the time their window opens, Karlsson may be on the decline. He had a fantastic season at 32 but who knows how he'll play at 35.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Gotta be a defensive rock. Power is going to be the scorer.

Nick Jensen sounds like a perfect fit to be honest.

Trevor van Riemsdyk could be a fit as well.

 

[EK392000]

A Dylan Demelo type player would be the ideal target. Defensively solid, can play second line minutes, and probably won't be that expensive to re-sign. You probably could target Demelo himself but he may be older than you'd like (he's 29).

 

[Chainshot]

Can Erik Karlsson fit on Buffalo’s roster with the right deal?

I don't think it would work. Not at all a shot at EK - great player, love watching him, just that they already have a lot tied up in their future with Dahlin and Power as PMD's that EK would chunk up their payroll scale and also the situational ice time. They need someone more like what Vlasic was when Vlasic was Vlasic before he turned into... well, Vlasic now.
