Confirmed Trade: [SJS/BUF] 2024 1st (11OA) for 2024 1st (14OA) and 2024 2nd (42OA)

[fasterthanlight]

Grier is hoping Buium or Catton drop because it will cost way less to put their names on a jersey than Yakemchuk or BrandseggNygard.

Fanatics costing us draft capital again....

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

If it’s a game of leapfrog we’re playing, what’ll Philly offer the Devils to move from 12 to 10 and outsnipe the snipe?

That would be awesome lol

As long as it speeds up the "We have a trade to announce" "So and so is now on the clock"

Honestly the funniest parts are Bettman saying we got a trade.. instead of getting booed lol

 

[Realgud]

I feel like this is the opposite of what Buffalo should do. They have so many prospects and they're going into the draft with 9 picks now. Although, it could all make sense in the end if they start trading picks for roster players. They absolutely need to be hunting for a playoff spot this season.

 

[93LEAFS]

Sort of surprised the Sharks moved up before they knew who was left at 11, but maybe they are getting ammunition of double jump or they just have a list of guys they expect to be there at 11 but not 14.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Buffalo probably want Catton or Eiserman, so they'll be able to get at least one of them at 14.

 

[DomBarr]

this is just a continuation of Chicago/Islanders activity. The "lets reduce the number of cheers Bettman gets during the draft" movement amongst franchises.

 

[Gabrielor]

I still think the Sabres trade the pick. (14)

 

[KrakenSabresMike]

I still think the Sabres trade the pick. (14)

Agree with that in mind it’s sort of a free high 2nd which is great

I wonder if they now know who Philly and Minny were going to take so they made a move to get their choice?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I still think the Sabres trade the pick. (14)

Rutger?

 

[Dog]

Grier not done yet. The guy is very active right now they are handing him coffee like it's water.

 

[Craig Ludwig]

I read this as Sharks guarantee themselves one of the top 6 defensemen of the draft

I read it as being guaranteed one of the last remaining dynamic forwards, one of Eiserman, Catton, Iginla or Sennecke will still be available. At 14th they could all be gone.

 

[Double Dion]

I don't think this is a bad move for Buffalo at all. They need to draft their future shutdown line. I think they should be addressing that in this draft. It's a good draft to find those guys with late 1sts and early 2nds.

 

[Djp]

wonder who they have their sights on?

Weird trade before seeing how the board falls

They may be trading the pick for s player like Necas

The could also want a position lower in yhr drsft that forsnt expect to be on tram this year ot next but day 26_27 such as a RD who could replace Clifton. Jiricrk seems to be in this spot


Comparison trades was a

FL trades 22 protected 1st and Levi for Reinhart
LA traded 19 OA+ Fabor fot Fiala a few years ago

Voth were RFAs when ytsdrd and arb eligible

If buffalo is trading for necas it would be a pick 18-23 + secondary prospect ( Poltapov 31OA in 2021) . It also could be a better prospect +2nd

 

[dogbazinho]

Makes sense if they want to trade that pick otherwise its poo.

If you have a list of 4 you may have 3 of 4 there while 0-1 there at 14.

more so meant for San Jose trading up

 

[TheBeard]

Grier trying to move into the top 5 or 6.

 

[themelkman]

This is going to be looked at as a major mistake. Why would you spend such a high second to move up a few spots

 

[Gabrielor]

Rutger?

Love him, but they need veterans for now. 13 year drought. If it goes to 14, Adams is fired, and the already brittle season ticket base crashes again.

 

[Djp]

It actually is fine from buffalo POV

Thry donr nerd s star player given they draft 6 in the 7-16 range since 19 draft and acquired bynum and drafted power.

If they arnt trading thr pick, they could draft one snf sd low develop them till like 28/29 season.

Thry also have an extra 2nd for trade.

 

[I am Canadian]

Buffalo trades 14th overall for Necas imo

 

[Djp]

In b
2012 buffalo traded 21 and 42 for 14 with calgary.
Now 14 and 42 for 11
