Maybe for somebody else he would be, but not Buffalo. We have a dozen skilled wing prospects, and probably at least 3 of them could jump in next year and give us his ~25 points or better. Any trade chip we’re targeting needs to either be a bona fide top 6 scoring winger who pushes someone else on our roster down the lineup or a reliable 200’ 3C who bumps Krebs.

Y'all have to much power
Krebs will be fine at 3c. We should focus on a winger and C depth. WPG makes the most sense, Ehlers and Kupari would be a nice package. Ehlers seems to not have us on his NTC as it sounded like preliminary extension talks happened. What's the cost on a non-extended Ehlers and Kupari?

I don't know what the Jets plans are for Kupari. He's cheap, so there's no rush, but I don't know where they see him. He's a guy who looked some nights that he was so close to putting it together, but then you look at his stat line and he has 1 point in 28 games. So I don't think a ton of value.
Ehlers I think you're looking at a 1st plus good prospect type area where the prospect and pick can fluctuate depending on the other.
Not sure though if Chevy is looking for a hockey trade though as that would be harder to find IMO.
Same. That contract is a steamer at the moment. Just taking it on "free" is probably too much.

To Buffalo: Tommy Novak
To Predators: 2025 2nd round pick
This would work for me. Not sure if other Preds fans would agree.

If you mean you want to deal picks and prospects with Pageau to get him off your cap, that is reasonable. If you think someone is going to give you picks and prospects for him you are likely going to be sorely disappointed.
You have any interest in Brandon saad? He has 2 years left and blues have excess wingers and lack centers. I’d think krebs could be of interest to us in return.
You’d be thrilled to trade away JP Pageau for nothing more than “future considerations”…
you’re not fooling anyone.

That's too much, especially for a guy with his cap hit and injury history. The original post that brought him up was asking for only a fourth.
MIN 4th and Nadeau?

Sabres need a nice vet who’s been around, kinda come in and mentor the young guys.
Jack Quinn gonna breakout this year tho

Another horrible proposal for the team trading with Buffalo.
Put real assets on the table.
The only team interested in trading JG Paguau is the NYI. Trading him away… the other 31 teams wouldn’t touch that contract unless the NYI included legit sweeteners.

Dvorak for pretty much anything works honestly, unless there's a cap dump coming back because the Habs don't necessarily need to move Dvorak, but I think it would be best for all parties if they did. He has struggled in Montreal and I don't know how much he has left in the tank (he's not old but has had a loooot of injuries) but you could probably do worse for a 3C and it certainly won't come at a high trade cost. Dvorak is a good faceoff guy and has a versatile but kind of vanilla skillset.
Coleman would fit the Sabres nicely (from a neutral's view).
JGP is also a good shout for a low priced low-risk player. He is useful enough for contributing offensively even though he's not in an offensive role. He was 7th in shots blocked last year, 11th in hits, 55% faceoffs, very few penalties taken and 10th highest in % of shifts in the defensive zone (Malenstyn was 1st which would mean the Sabres have 2 of the top 10).
He was shooting at under 11% so anything close to 15% and you'd see more production from him in a different team I'd say.
Running Thompson, Couzens, JGP and Krebs/ Malenstyn down the middle would be solid and with JGP only having two years, it gives the younger guys time to prove they can become a C at the NHL level.
Habs have no reasons to trade Dvorak, he isn't really taking a spot from our prospects, is very strong on the dot and provides decent offense. For sure there are concerns about his injuries but players overcome injuries all the time in the NHL.
On top of that, Habs will be competing the Sabres for a Wild Card spot so there it will take a minimum of a 2nd round pick I would think.

Is JG Pageau still playing? Yes.
Earning his AAV? That’s laughable.
The NYI would be thrilled to cut him and see him claimed.
