Speculation: Roster/Trade Discussion Thread: Draft and FA addition

[Boris Zubov]

Late 1st , Krebs , Wahlberg

Is Levi waiver exempt ?

This would be an awful return.

 

[mti79]

Sounds like overcomplicating things. Is Stenberg that type of player?

Based on what I've read, yes. And then we could still go D at 9. Again, I'm just reading all this and spitballing.

Full disclosure, I got out of work at like 215 and have been enjoying a bunch of IPA's by the pool

 

[AirGut]

My question is, what would you add to 5 to move up to 2? If you can get 4 without giving up 5 (move Tro for example) do you trade 4 and 5 for 2 and 9? Or 4, 5, 26 for 2 and 9? SJ would get 2 top 5 players in that deal. Just spitballing though

teams would probably ask for Perreault

Nope

Still looking at San Jose for Schneider with that late 1st and a good prospect. Bystedt or Musty. Outside chance of Anaheim

And I still think Columbus comes through with the deal for Trochek. 15th +.

Who knows what’s going on with Gavrikov.

We’ve seen countless 1st’s traded already.

I was wondering if nyr would trade down from 5 to 9 if sjs adds musty and another prospect like bystedt/sahlin-wallenius. Nyr get whichever d falls to 9 or hope that Björck is there or maybe reach for a guy like Cullen or Lawrence.

@ThePeoplesPeople needs to answer for his crimes. Its after business hours and we know drury doesnt work overtime.

I deserve heat for today.

Amen brother

I'd much rather take players with both 4 and 5 in that hypothetical than trade up for just 1. Draft class really does seem even enough that you'd be getting 2 very good prospects with the 2 picks, but not getting a 'superstar' prospect with #2oa

We already picked #1 & #2 and didnt get a superstar so why not try 4&5 and see if we can get lucky with just one

Mike Harrington: In NHL's 'power move' hand, Sabres' GM still holds key cards

With more than $21 million in cap space, the Sabres assuredly can extend Zach Benson and keep Beck Malenstyn out of free agency. And they can do more, too, writes Mike Harrington

buffalonews.com

Not sure what Kekalainen's exact quote was, but this Buffalo reporter seems to think he wouldn't be after a goalie move....so no Hellebuyck in BUF I guess:

As for the No. 4 pick, the view here is the Sabres are going to trade it. You wonder if Kekalainen will put together a package, perhaps starting with both picks 4 and 20 to pry burly forward Matthew Knies out of Toronto.
If that doesn't work, the Sabres have no problem using No. 4 to take a defenseman like Sault Ste. Marie's Chase Reid or North Dakota's Keaton Verhoeff, who was coached in the Western League by former Sabres player and assistant James Patrick.
Up front, the chic name climbing the charts who Kekalainen is known to be a fan of is 5-foot-9 Swedish center Viggo Björck. He was apparently quite the combination of skill and sandpaper in the Swedish League this season.
Kekalainen seemed to douse any fires about a goaltending move when he pointed out the Sabres are fine with their three-goalie rotation. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen had a .910 save percentage in the regular season, and Colten Ellis is a great prospect. The GM said one game in the playoffs scrutinizes goalies too much. Fair.

Michael Mann could write Romeo and Juliet but Shakespeare could never direct HEAT

 

[Levitate]

I can’t imagine there’s a way to get the #4 without trading Laf, Perreault, etc

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I can’t imagine there’s a way to get the #4 without trading Laf, Perreault, etc

Trocheck, Schneider, Berard and a signed Brunson Jersey should get it done

Bowen freaking Byram got the #4 plus the #45 and a young roster player (albeit a 3rd pairing player)!

You get one. Then you get taken out behind the woodshed.

About to get sucked into a stupid argument on the trade board, so retreating here before I get a ban.

The level of delusion there is something special.

I got a like 3 infractions in a day on the Main Board in like 2014.

I hear ya. Not worth a single post there.
