Zero sense for Sabres, only hockey deals.
i think buffalo would rather look for a more developed forward. (maybe someone like casey mittelstadt lol)

We already have a ton of prospects and young players on the roster, we need proven NHL players. We should be trading futures+ for players on the roster, not trading our players for futures.
No offence Johnsie, but how would such a deal work with Cap?
7.7 plus 5? 12.7 million from Buffalo and 2 million from Vancouver
10.7 million? Not sure how this would magically happen even if any team or fan would want this?
Byram is better than mittelstadt no matter how bad the Sabres are

If I’m Buffalo I’m doing this trade.
Desharnais will fill the hole that was created when Ristolainen left

That would be stupid, Desharnais isn't even a top 4 defenseman and the Canucks are willing to trade him when they need a top 4 RD? We already have Clifton in Desharnais' role. Byram has good value because he plays on the first pair, can play LD/RD and has been our best defenseman in Dahlin's absence. Lekkerimaki is doing nothing for us right now. So no. Also Zucker has been very good for us and looked like a top 6 forward even though he's played mostly on the third line.
We shouldn't make this deal and I bet any sane Sabres fan would agree with me.

Byram + Cozens for Elias Pettersson.
Apparently 2 available and one who’s disgruntled. 2 Canadians come back home and Dahlin gets his good friend and countryman.
Cap works out.

Just doesn't really make a lot of sense to me for either team. Buffalo probably aren't looking for more "offensive winger prospects" and more picks to restart the rebuild all over again necessarily. And from a Canucks perspective, it's a ton to give up for a guy who still has plenty of nagging injury/durability concerns.

The hole that was created when Risto left was more than filled by his absence. I think addition by substraction is the term generally used around these parts.

Lmao no. No one in Buffalo is interested in waiting 8762948 more years for the Sabres to maybe turn good.

Was contemplating that and thinking of Hoglander and Benson added but didn’t want to go there yet. I agree it’s a little light but not far off.

No way man, only not Benson, he is our diamond and one of the smartest players on the team. Not to mention his many other good qualities.

Byram makes 7.7 over two yrs. 3.85 cap hit. You could retain %50 on Zucker's expiring deal that'd be just over 6 with two going back. That's like 4.2.
Canucks have that room at the deadline easily. Might have it now even.

If it were Thompson + Byram for Petey that'd be more palatable but still don't wanna trade Petey.
Cozens and Byram for Miller maybe but even still Cozens contract looks like an anchor currently, despite having upside.
If you aren't winning with what you have yeah
