Proposal: Threeway crazy trade COL-CGY-BUF

SnuggaRUDE said:
Fine you can assume Bryam and Peterka are being lost anyway. Necas blocked a trade to Buffalo in the off-season, but sure maybe he changed his mind since then.

Your proposal gives Buffalo Calgary 2026 1st, Calgary 2027 2nd, and Huberdeau. An offer sheet Buffalo wouldn't sign would be worth more. At a minimum Buffalo would get 2x 1st, 2x 2nd, 2x 3rd, and they'll be in 2026 not 2027.

Huberdeau's contract sucks now, and it's going to suck in the future. In Calgary he's put up 60+ points once. He's about to turn 32, Calgary is a substantially better team than Buffalo. PLUS in your scenario Buffalo trades away their top line Winger, a top Pairing Defensemen for a pair of 1sts. How are they going to leverage Huberdeau?

Where is there proof Necas blocked a trade? He doesnt have a NMC/NTC.

You guys cant complain about not being able to attract UFAs, then decline one that is offered. EP40 and Huberdeu's contracts both look bad right now, but also both would have an insane amount more offensive talent in Buffalo to work with. Youre not going to get J Hughes's contract magically dropped on you. You need to trade for one you think you can refurbish. The Sabres already dont spend to the cap and the cap is rising $25M in 2 years, $10M will be the new $7M.

It has been reported they looked st acquiring Necas during his RFA time. They were able to talk of an extension but he said he's not giving up UFA yrs

When Buffalo signs their RFAs they will be within $1M if the cap.
 
Hahahahahahhaha. Par for the course though.

Urge Sabres fans to stop taking this guys bait, he’s been in every BUF related thread for a couple months now with little to no idea about the players or the situation the team is in.

Only insight being “Sabres bad. Blow it up and let every team pick at their bones for bad contracts and picks.”

Which, if you actually followed the Sabres you’d know Terry will never willingly take on bad contracts for picks. Wouldn’t even do it when the Sabres were at the cap floor post Eichel trade.

I actually think CGY gets the crap end of this, but gets out of Hubbys deal. Buffalo gets the most but their fans are delusional overvaluing RFA's that want to leave and assuming Tuch will stay. Basically a wash for COL

We take on a big contract with term while losing a top six winger who has room to improve a top line winger who can drive play and a top 4 dman with top pair potential necas is great but the value we lose in comparison isn't worth considering if you can get necas in a three way trade based around the 9th pick and Byram/jjp sure but I think a better deal involves 9th pick and other futures for someone like Andersson

Jonathan Huberdeau, (a career 12.2% shooter over 800+ games prior to this year) shot 18.3%, a career high. Despite this, and PP1 time, he still had 60 points for 10.5 mill. Oh and he's 32

Yeah and he also only had 8 secondary assists. He had 54 primary points. That's only 1 less than both Eichel and Keller, who both finished with 90+ points. This season, when Huberdeau wasn't on the ice is was nearly impossible for Calgary to score. You can try and paint a brush over it all you want since you didn't watch the games but he had a very good season.

But did he have a 10M season? CGY's xG% 5v5 was basically the same with or without him.

We beg you. We don't want to be touched in this type of three way.


Not you, but quite a few references to Hubey as Hubby also is also making this thread feel unsettling for some reason.

Look at the cast around him. That team is pathetic offensively and amssively overachieved this year due to wolf. Give Hubby some help and maybe those numbers go up.

Sure, just take a 10M gamble on numbers maybe going up for a 33 year old winger. Oh and rebuilding team use your two best trade chips to do so.

You're a gem.

So explain how now Calgary are taking on two LHD's of which one of them is an oft-injured, overpaid small dman who doesn't produce offensively and wilts in the playoffs?

So you turn Necas into Tuch and Avs save almost 2M in caphit. Then massively upgrade from Girard to Kadri by adding in Colton who at best is worth a 2nd round pick.

Calgary gives up the only 2C in the deal. They give up the best dman in the deal (Weegar). And downgrade to Peterka and two LHDs??

To BUF:
Necas - $6.5 UFA 26-27
Huberdeau - $10.5 UFA 30-31
Rights to Nelson - maybe worthless, maybe sign and trade.
CGY 1st 2025
CGY 1st 2026

- A lot going on and trying to bring in some value for losing Byram/Peterka potentially, but comes at the expense of Tuch which Im guessing no BUF fans will like, but assuming he wont re-sign there.

To CGY:
Byram: RFA signs 8x$x
Peterka: RFA signs 8x$x
Girard: $5M UFA 27-28
- Gets rid of the old guys and their cap hits and starts the rebuild with young RFA's. Paying to get rid of that Hubby contract with 1sts and Buf is one of the few teams that can absorb it.

To COL:
Kadri: $7M UFA 28-29
Tuch: $4.75 UFA 26-27
-Goes again with the win now mode. Gets their 2C back and basically a swap Necas for Tuch because I cant stand Necas right now. I wanted to go Thompson, but because of his contract he is near untouchable value wise.

Starting a rebuild by trading away 1st round picks seems counterproductive

Calgary loses hard on this deal. Both their picks in 26 and 27 should be top 12. Awful deal. Colorado does ok and Buffalo makes out like bandits.

Shoulve made it clearer, it is the lower of their 25 and 26 picks, neither are theirs. Likely 25 Panthers and 26 Knights.
