Value of: Sabres 1st Round Pick #9

Similar values........Willander a more highly rated prospect and Faber was pressing to go to Minny so value was a bit depressed. Garland's value isn't too far off of a late late first either...........People can argue about this all they like but overall the value is very much in the same ballpark.

His value is maybe a late first at the deadline for a team that is pushing for the cup. Nobody is paying a first for him in offseason as a ufa

Who's the target? It seems Larsson would be the only one that fits the OPs description. I have no trouble with the value, but I don't think that's the direction Seattle's going. The goal this coming season is to get back into the playoffs.
Was gonna say maybe either bjorkstrand straight up or mcaan for 9++ like a quin and rosen combo
 
Willander won't sign with Vancouver? Ok then........lol. Now he hasn't signed cus he doesn't want to sign in Van? I love how these rumours start. Let's revisit this by the start of training camp (or even next week - latest reports are that a contract could get done in the next few days..........my god........lol)

You can dislike the targets but the value is there. Feel free to swap out Garland for Van's first

"Tom Willander is generally considered a higher-rated prospect than Brock Faber was at the time he was traded, according to YouTube video and a Canucks Army article. Willander was drafted 11th overall and is lauded for his skating, agility, and potential to become a top-pairing defenseman. While Faber eventually became a strong NCAA player, Willander's current perceived value and projected NHL impact place him ahead of where Faber was at the time of his trade. "
If Willander isn't willing to sign in Van, why would he be willing to sign in Buf?

Is that an AI summary of Willander's value? lol

Sabres should be interested in Conor Garland, he's a the type of middle 6er we need. Only 1 year left on the contract is rough though.

This is a misconception going around the main boards........that Willander isn't willing to sign in Van. 100% untrue. He isn't willing to sign in Van the current contract he's been offered.........last we heard the differences were roughly 200k more or less.........It's a real stretch to think we won't be able to bridge that gap.

Any trade involving Willander we can safely assume it involves him being signed or signing with his new team.

Would Garland extended but part of the basis for a Kulich trade?

Haha. No.
 
Dobson for the 9th overall and another considerable asset headed the other way (Kulich? He's probably too much, if I'm honest).

Otherwise something around Pulock (assuming he waives his NTC, which probably not) and another asset from Isles?

No interest in Dobson—his skill set is the exact opposite of what we need. Pulock is a much more interesting target.

Not sure why we should be interested in an offensively oriented dman that will probably get 9mill plus who wouldn't get PP1 time.

Does Pulock have trade restriction? If so he’s probably not waiving for Buffalo.
 
I mean that is debatable depending on a teams needs. What Dobson offers is not a high priority to this team. A player like Whitecloud would offer more of what Buffalo needs than Dobson even tho everyone would say Dobson has more value than Whitecloud.

Sure, but this isn't a Sabres RHD thread, it's about the 9th overall pick. A valuable piece to dangle on the trade market.

Vancouver can just sign and trade him. He has no control on that.

No way in hell doed a signed Garlsnd get you a young 2C

Dobson us thr opposite of egat Buffalo wants. That's before even talking about thr fact kulich or 9OA are worth more than Dobson alone

He is 30+ with 5 yrs left. That hurts his value. Buffalo needs to do cap neutral trades
 
Hes a one dimensional defenseman.

His advanced stats don't say that. The fact that he was drawing Norris consideration last year (when he got 70 points as a 6'4" RHD) also don't point to that either.

I'm not saying he's McAvoy, but he's not one dimensional.
 
At his age and production on a line with one of the best centers in the game, he's not replicating what he did in Pittsburgh in Buffalo. I don't think he's close to 9OA given age.
maybe, maybe not...... compared to some rumored offers last deadline, he is. or maybe we could add. :dunno: and he's signed cheep.

No I'm not thinking that Garland alone gets you Kulich however I'm wondering if he gets the conversation going. Willander feels like an overpayment for Kulich tbh but that's probably pretty fair and would address needs for both teams.

I think you are overvaluing Kulich a bit - Hard to think that he alone has more value then Dobson. He's a nice piece for sure but he has a ways to go before he's even a 2C........
