taige has 10 pts in 17 games. I know one game he had 4 pts (all A) my guess is we do sign him just to see what we have. KD likes size on the backend and he has that. Even if it just AHL guy it would kind of make sense.
Potential Trade Targets (2025 edition)
- Thread starter belfour30
- Start date
I've brought this point up before and I'd like for the Hawks to sign him too. But I don't think he would sign here as there are many young LHD ahead of him and all he has to do is wait until August and he can sign with any team he wants. It just wouldn't make a lot of sense to him to sign here if I were him.
Philipp Kurashev, after steady improvement every season, 16 21 25 and then 54pts, has stalled, his play I feel affects Bedard reaching his potential…shakeup trade needs to happen at some point…I remember he was once close to being koved to Columbus instead of Boqvist in the Seth Jones deal…Kekalinen isn’t there anymore so that’s probably a no go…but player of same age/potential coming back the other way would be nice…what do you think the Hawks could fetch for him? We’ve seen Strome, Kubalik and Raddysh just walked away from…gotta think(hope) they don’t do the same with Kurashev
How about Kurashev and 2025 Dallas 2nd, 2026 4th to NYR for Kakko and a 2026 3rd?

Or Kurashev at $2.25 mill pending RFA to STL for Saad $4.5 mill til 2026 and a 2026 3rd rounder?

The idea of a trade with the Blues makes me sick. Screw them.
Even if it weren't a deal with them, I wouldn't have the slightest interest in bringing back Saad. Again.

We tanked hard and got Bedard!! Happy Days!!
I'm seeing some chatter on X regarding Cozens. Trade 1 rehabilitatión "change of scenery required" project for another?
Sabres get: Reichel, Kurashev, our 1st 2025 2nd RP
WE get: Cozens - no term eaten
Who says no?
Good skater who had promise to develop a 200 foot 2way game. Put him w/ CB98.

Buffalo would have to be extremely stupid to trade Cozens: which they are.
Chicago should go all in to get him BUT I don’t think Chicago is a match unless we are taking about Nazar. Buffalo is exhausted with rebuilding- they’ll want known NHL commodities. However, I’m doubtful Nazar would qualify.

It’s hard to tell what they would realistically even want from us. My guess is they’re looking to get a center back in a move for cozens. I don’t think they’ll want draft picks or young roster players.
You have to consider that other teams are going to make calls too. I think in any deal right now, Kurashev does absolutely nothing and might even carry negative value. Reichel may be a good complimentary piece to a deal like this but still doesn't get it done with an early 2nd.
I'm just spitballing but for the Blackhawks offer to be the best offer the Sabres get AND good enough for them to take, I feel like you have to put Oliver Moore in there with Reichel and Toronto's first this year. Then maybe the Sabres take that but I don't know if the Hawks should offer that.
The history of Buffalo trading away underachieving players only for them to later find their form makes this weird.

Oh man why did you have to go there?
But at least we're never trading disgruntled high draft picks that were supposed to be stars only for them to win cups somewhere else? Plus we have success stories with acquiring cap dumps who have found success here like Dickinson and Mrazek.
Despite the disaster of the press conference, Kevyn Adams does have a point. Due to Buffalo being... well Buffalo, the high NY taxes, and lack of success since Obama's first term, attracting free agents is no small task and almost every player worth trading for has some kind of NMC. My question would be around their player development org. Outside of Peterka, they haven't drafted anyone that has contributed anything significant to the team after the top 10. You can't blame that on the weather and taxes.
