He is on the 22-23 Hawks. He might be that on a contender. Not sure.
We (at least, I) want another one because championship teams often have top-4 caliber defense playing on their third pair. Sabres are ready to raise expectations and stakes.
Value of: Pick #13. BUF looking for top 4 RD

We had hopes of Jensen making it to UFA, but Washington getting him inked earlier put that dream to rest. I doubt the Caps would put him into a trade so soon after negotiating that deal which might be his last in the NHL. Have to figure he's settled, knows where he's going to be, will be around family and all that.

Coaches choice, I’d put him in over Klingberg.
then not him I suppose.
I’d assume we could do addison + for 13.
Neil Pionk is a 2 way RHS #4. 27 years old with a couple years left on his contract. Good skater. Good shot. Plays a feisty game. 13th overall is a high price to pay so maybe some extra parts needed.
At $8.5 M x four years, he would be beyond tempting. At $11.5 M? Impossible. Next year we have tons of room. The issue is 2023-24 and beyond and signing Dahlin and Power which will take up $20M+ of cap. I assume. That would be $28.5 M with Karlsson. And Sammy gives you $33 M. A crazy good top 4. It's possible. You'd need some serious young and cheap talent for your 3rd pair on D which Sabres don't really have on then horizon unless Johnson signs or guys like Komorov/Lindgren/Novikov can become NHL players. Big ifs

Definitely feel like Calgary could be the right pressure point this summer. Any of Andersson/Tanev/Weegar would make the Sabres better. None of them are ideally young, some aren't young at all. But they could all be that Top-4 RHD for the Sabres. The Flames are also obviously going to be looking to reconfigure their roster pretty significantly after the year they just had.
Tanev + 17th for 13th, 39th + 45th
4 spots in the draft and two 2nds for one of the best options to help develop a young, high end defenseman. Expiring contract but I think the right fit could squeeze a few more great year out of Tanev, at a reasonable rate.

There were rumblings Adams tried to acquire Jensen 2-3 times, but you guys chose to re-sign him.
Would love Tanev;
That value is ridiculously tilted for Calgary, and against Buffalo, so no go there.
Is it really that tilted though? I'm thinking that teams would offer a 1st at the deadline, pretty easily.
The way I see it, the two 2nds basically equal the mid-late 1st that he'll most likely return at the deadline and the premium is 4 draft spots for the full season. Like I said, really can't think of someone I'd rather have paired with a young defender, that will someday be the cornerstone of the organization.

Romanov got traded for the 13th last draft, so that's probably the type of defensemen you should probably be looking at.

A playoff team might offer a late first, yeah.
When I was pondering Tanev trades, I was thinking Buf's 2nd (45) and Bryson, so we're way off if you're at 2 2nds, plus a pick swap of +4 to you.
Honestly, I'm thinking that with a couple of offseason moves, the Sabres should be in the playoff conversion.

Ok. And now for something entirely different.
Rasmus Andersson and Dan Vladar for Alex Tuch.

Agreed. And there's definitely an angle if the value is right between CGY and BUF.
You have lots of D and are up against the cap.
We aren't and need D.
Sadly, this thread is a typical hfboards trade thread, so you get crap like Faulk for 13 and Kulich, and there's no analysis to be done on either side.
Buffalo won't trade Tuch, even with how good Andersson's value is. Tuch is just too important to the post-Eichel anti-dickhead locker room vibes.

lol. Faulk isn't anything even remotely close to that much even to a team that wants him, but he's not even the type of defenseman Buffalo is looking for.
True, which is the reason for the thread season over 13OA.
You mean the laughably bad faith offers tossed off like one-liners for turds like Myers don't make for interesting conversation?
I like some day drinkin' too but let's be serious that he's not worth 13, let alone adding someone not in the mix.

Calgary missed the playoffs…pick is at 16.
Tanev with just 1 yr left gets a late 1st at best at the deadline where the pick is 25-32 Or 2 2nds.
moving up from 16 to 13 costs a 2nd in a straight trade.
a more likely trade would be
39+45 for Tanev+small
or
13 +45 for 16+Tanev+small
Tuch isn’t getting traded.

I need to Google his name first for better understanding who is the guy we giving 13OA pick away.

I'd love to have a coalition of guys from every team that actually gave good feedback, because most teams do that those guys on this forums.
I think the discussion on Matt Roy was interesting and not super far off.
Myers, Faulk, Petry for 13 when there's an Olofsson/Bryson for Petry thread a day old, yeah, that's the unfortunate garbage.
Hell of a player. This time around we looking for stay at home reliable defenceman.
As long as Tanev is healthy at the deadline, which obviously is never guaranteed with any player, we won't have a problem getting a 1st. He still has enough gas in the tank to be plugged in anywhere from bottom to top pairing, should need be. From a Flames perspective, there's really no reason to move him right now, unless the value is favorable.
