Proposal: Chi-Clb + Chi-Buf

[Blackhawkswincup]

To
2018 2nd round pick (49th overall)

To

C Artem Anisimov

Hawks move Anisimov cap hit for pick while Jackets upgrade at C a guy they are familiar with and according to reports were interested in reacquiring. + It may be very helpful to retaining Panarin to bring in Anisimov who played with him for two years in Chicago and helped Panarin with his transition to NA

Hawks then call up Sabres

To
C Ryan O'Reilly

To
2018 1st round pick (8th overall)
Conditional 1st round pick (Hawks decide if they give up 2019 or 2020)
D Joni Tuulola

Hawks get strong two way center who is only 27 yrs old and signed for 5 yrs at 7.5M while Sabres who are not contending anytime soon acquire several assets including a top 10 towards rebuild under new GM. ROR was a Murray guy so the new GM can continue to mold team in his image

Hawks top 6 next year

Saad-ROR-Kane
Schmaltz-Toews-Debrincat

Buffalo passes.

 

[Viqsi]

Anisimov would create potentially a bigger obstacle to retaining Panarin because that would leave us with a shortage of cap space. It's not just Panarin needing to be retained - it's Bobrovsky and Werenski as well.

But thank you for not coming up with yet another garbage Panarin trade.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

If we weren't in a cap bind, I'd do the first deal. But alas, as Viqsi pointed out, that would be incredibly difficult to make work.

 

[Rusty8719]

Columbus says yes.

Buffalo says yes.

 

[Beerz]

im not taking a first that might be 2 years off

 

[Not Sure]

Dont know anything about Tuulola, but if I'm Buffalo and actually want to move ROR that's the type of deal I'd take. I'd at least let it be known that's what's on the table and see if anyone can offer anything better.

you're also getting 8th overall this year though.

i think this is a pretty fair deal.

you're essentially getting 2 extra first round picks in 3 years.

 

[mikeyp24]

Would love to have the Arty Party back but the cost hurts our future. We have too many people to pay and he hurts the cash flow more then helps the team.

Except how we're not looking for futures. Buffalo needs to be better next season. That deal obviously makes us worse now. It could maybe make us better 5-6 years from now, but probably not.

 

[Kaners PPGs]

Yes to trade 1.

No to trade 2.

 

[krt88nc]

If I’m the Sabres I want better than a first round draft pick. I want a scoring winger and a prospect.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

2018 1st (#8) overall, Henri Jokihraju, Brandon Saad for O'Reilly and Bailey

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks overpay bigtime with that one

No thanks

yeah thats fair buffalo really needs to start winning. which is why i dont think they should trade ROR, but heck what do i know. imo if ror is traded buffalo should look for a return they gave up. young current or soon to be nhlers that can help fill in their depth.

although getting the 8th this year could really help them in 2 years time.

 

[Meichel Kane]

Buffalo might do it if they have a deal lined up to flip the #8 for someone who can step in and play.

 

[Yatzhee]

Buffalo has a couple of years to move ROR and he'd still have 3 years left on his deal.
While this trade for ROR is still low value, it at least isn't god awful. it does nothing but give Buffalo futures. I would think Botterill would pass and attempt to address the present. And why wouldn't he, he has time.

 

[Ezekial]

If I’m the Sabres I want better than a first round draft pick. I want a scoring winger and a prospect.

It's 2 first round picks. Want a scoring winger? Wahlstrom should be there at 8.

 

[DictatorTots427]

I get Buffalo would rather have different pieces than just picks for O'Reilly, but this is very good value for him IMO. If I were Buffalo I would take this.

 

[TLEH]

2018 1st (#8) overall, Henri Jokihraju, Brandon Saad for O'Reilly and Bailey

Too much, pass

 

[JLarucci23]

Don't really want to move the 8 for ROR, but the value is pretty good tho.
