LeBrun: Sabres looking to make “big” trade

[Panthaz89]

I don’t think they do either.

But I’m also on board with the Carlo for Byram + Rosen trade idea.

What in the world makes you think that is a logical trade.

 

[Shark Finn]

Big? As in Tyler Myers?

 

[Cogburn]

Big? As in Tyler Myers?

Dahlin or Power or Byram have nothing on Myers.

 

[Boxscore]

TO BUF:
Scott Laughton
Joel Farabee
Egor Zamula

TO PHI:
Bowen Byram
Noah Ostlund
2025 2nd rounder

 

[tsujimoto74]

Way too many people ITT who clearly didn’t understand the assignment: Buffalo wants to make its NHL team better, not worse.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Are you guys looking to upgrade on Samuelsson? Thought he was the guy next to Dahlin (until Byram took over, and you still have Power on pair 2...). Would something around Samuelsson for Myers be of interest?

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

TO BUF:
Scott Laughton
Joel Farabee
Egor Zamula

TO PHI:
Bowen Byram
Noah Ostlund
2025 2nd rounder

Oof this is ROUGH.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Elias Petterson
Desharnais

For

Byram
Cozens
Krebs

?

 

[Havok89]

Elias Petterson
Desharnais

For

Byram
Cozens
Krebs

?

Not sure this improves Buffalo. Big price to pay hoping Petterson turns it around

 

[Uberpecker]

TO BUF:
Scott Laughton
Joel Farabee
Egor Zamula

TO PHI:
Bowen Byram
Noah Ostlund
2025 2nd rounder

Oh boy. Why?

Elias Petterson
Desharnais

For

Byram
Cozens
Krebs

?

Close enough. I'd leave Krebs and Desharnais out of it, though, maybe add some other pieces as needed.

 

[Beerz]

I just feel the need to say this as it pops up too much. No, our 21-year-old #1 draft pick D who is playing very good hockey is not available. The fact that he is not physical enough for his size is practically the only reason he isn't meeting expectations.

Do you even watch hockey?

TO BUF:
Scott Laughton
Joel Farabee
Egor Zamula

TO PHI:
Bowen Byram
Noah Ostlund
2025 2nd rounder

This is insanely terrible.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Pulock is the first name I thought of. Murphy as a backup for the Sabres

Pulock for Joker and Quinn/Krebs

 

[David71]

Elias Petterson
Desharnais

For

Byram
Cozens
Krebs

?

switch desharnais for myers.

 

[Fjordy]

Pulock is the first name I thought of. Murphy as a backup for the Sabres

Pulock for Joker and Quinn/Krebs

Is he even available? I'd do Joker + Krebs for Pulock, but I'm not sure the Islanders would be interested.

switch desharnais for myers.

Then remove Krebs and add Samuelsson to the deal. Although I would just do Cozens + Byram for Pettersson.

 

[Uberpecker]

Pulock is the first name I thought of. Murphy as a backup for the Sabres

Pulock for Joker and Quinn/Krebs

Value seems fine but that's two roster players from the Sabres. I'd replace Krebs with a (good) prospect in that trade.

 

[Vitto79]

Kakko and Rempe for Krebs and Greenway?

 

[miscs75]

Pulock is the first name I thought of. Murphy as a backup for the Sabres

Pulock for Joker and Quinn/Krebs

Isles pass. Downgrading the blue line a good amount to get another middle 6 forward who’s struggling just isn’t it.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Kakko and Rempe for Krebs and Greenway?

Buffalo is trying to get to better at ice hockey, not face punching.

 

[Matt Ress]

Elias Petterson
Desharnais

For

Byram
Cozens
Krebs

?

Eh as talented as Petterson is, I think they would be looking for consistency and intensity. It's probably the biggest underlying need with a young talented team trying to take the next step.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Are you guys looking to upgrade on Samuelsson? Thought he was the guy next to Dahlin (until Byram took over, and you still have Power on pair 2...). Would something around Samuelsson for Myers be of interest?

I’d do it

 

[bernmeister]

Kakko and Rempe for Krebs and Greenway?

huge no from Rs

 

[bernmeister]

ok, let's break the internet, or at least HFB....

Cuylle, Chytil, Kakko
choice of 1 high prospect D Fortescue or Emery
Lindgren, Ruhwedel
Vesey

for

Dahlin
2026 and 2028 2nds w/conditions*
possible short term cap dumps if nec, which doesn't look like it is

* conditions: if over the next 3 seasons Chytil plays in X number of games or contributes Y number of points to team he is playing for, that 2028 2nd becomes a 1st
also, if Chytil plays in Z very small number of games or contributes P very small number of points to team he is playing for, that 2028 2nd becomes a 7th.

--------
Rationale
S: premise is Buf wants shake up.
this new kid line is outstanding productive 5 x 5
Cuylle = 2nd rounder who has delivered
KK = 2OA w/beast level tools who is productive except as scorer and is still emerging, good bet w/correct pivot to remain productive and grow w/Cuylle
add a higher end LD prospect
Lindgren still recovering but ok as stopgap for this season
Vesey ok to modest but actual boost to bottom 6.

reasonable gamble is emerging Power replaces Dahlin
Chytil comes over available for LTIR, adequate room to juggle
Sabes sell off surplus pieces
------
Rs
bite the bullet to get a young stud LD [can do either side] locked up long term
resolves issue of 1LD for Fox partner, moving Lindgren = spot for Mancini, moving Vesey = spot for Rempe

fixed D =
Dahlin - Fox
KAM - Schneider
Jones - Mancini

as to the Fs, where there is a hit, but worth it, can get by w:
Kreider - Edstrom - Zib
bread - Tro - LaF
Othmann - Brodz - Smith
Carrick - Rempe - Trouba
not ideal, and depth deprived Fs, but still worth it

w/mo moves expected

 

[LemonSauceD]

Cozens + Strbak + 1st for Andersson. (Might need a better prospect).

2nd round pick for Mario Ferraro

Byram-Dahlin
Power-Andersson
Ferraro-Joker
Samuelsson

Buy out Samuelsson in the off season or send him to SJ and attach an extra couple of picks.

This might be your worst proposal ever.

Job well done.
