Freddy Krueger does that tooWell, Jokiharju has already settled in there, he keeps coming back.
I donr want ROR if he was on a $m contract. Not taking that contract.
No way am I trading Helenius nor Wahlberg.
I send them Johnson and Rosen and they include something in pick/ prospect

I do not see why we'd trade for Jiricek. Like at all. Do we need a RHD? Yes, RIGHT NOW. We do not need a guy that might take another year or two before he becomes an NHL regular. We've got Komarov and Strbak and McCarthy who are on similar timelines to Jiricek (maybe a year behind) and Kleber coming about a year or two behind them. And if Adams would do the right thing and sign Metsa....he's a guy that could theoretically be a 6/7 guy for us next year.
Our future at RHD is pretty bright, especially as it regards defensively-responsible/physical guys.
We need a top 4 RHD right now. Like yesterday. Or the day before. Jiricek doesn't move that needle at all.....

I would offer Rosen and a draft pick. Jiricek would potentially fill an organizational need at RD in the future.
I like our as it sits right now. If we can improve it via trade, of course you do it. We do have an abundance of good forward prospects that potentially won’t see a call up for a while.
You don’t bring RoR back
im not saying I’d offer that, but it’s what a deal would look like in my estimation

Our organizational need at RHD in the future is pretty damned low. Between Komarov, Strbak, McCarthy and Kleber (and Brunet and hopefully Metsa)....ONE of them is likely to hit.
Our organizational need at RHD is RIGHT NOW (and next year and maybe the year after).

A somewhat forgotten positive from Buffalo stacking points is it may make them a more attractive place to play. Perhaps the pool of players willing to waive their NMCs to play in Buffalo will grow. It'll take more than a decent 20 games to grab players attention. If theyre still in a WC spot at the 40 game mark...who knows? Players may view them as a young team on the rise.
Ruff brings some more credibility to the team atleast.

To an extent yes. Our right D consists of Byram, Joker, Clifton and Samuelsson … 2 are left handed shots. But eventually between Dahlin, Power, Byram and Samuelsson we are going to have a lot of salary tied up in 4 defensemen. So trading a forward prospect from an area of strength for a RD prospect (pick 6, 2022) rumored to be on the trade block gives us a cost controlled asset in an area of need.

a top 10 nhl drafted is usually in the nhl by their 20 yr o lo d season. It might wait a yr due to NA hokey sdjustment.
2nd round D picks usually arent nhl ready till D+5 yr.

Those I dont see till 27/28 or 28/29. Maybe 26/27 in strbak if signed this spring
Yes buffalo nerds a RD for next yr who can play mid pair and be a bridgre to the prospects developing
Jiricek would be nhl ready next season
It's nice that a few wins have quieted the fans of other teams making the "Buffalo should give us good players for garbage" trade threads.
