Hopefully Adams gets more than the 6th he got for JJ.

Curtis Lazar #1 center gimmick lets go

Staal for Mete? Would make a ton of sense. Mete's a pending RFA who's not going to get a lot of money and still has some potential. Kulak wouldn't be terrible either.

Odds are it is just a pick.

Montreal is flush with them with 2 2nds and 3 picks in each of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds of the 2021 Draft.

Montreal's 1st rounder incoming

Is it really worth mentioning if it's not going to be the return?

Oh yeah. I'm not getting my hopes up for anything but a pick.

Just saying that Mete in particular would make some sense for us.......give him a trial run at LD for the remainder of the season.

It sounds like he doesn't know what the return is and he is throwing out what he knows that Buffalo and Montreal have talked about before.

It might end up being something like Mete and a 5th instead of a 3rd...

I'd rather get a higher pick.

Mete is never going to be much at the NHL level.

Curtis Lazar #1 center gimmick lets go

Based on this season:
Lazar>>>Staal

 

[KiwiGriff]

I know people rip on GMKA but I was excited by Staal and Hall coming here. He’s just been a shadow of his former self.
Given the state of this team I’d be happy with picks. Let’s fill the team with rookies and start again

Sabres get 2021 3rd and 2021 5th in return:

 

[Fezzy126]

Great, now do Hall next

 

[5 Minute Major]

See ya, bum.

 

[Jim Bob]

Look's like they are Montreal's own picks.

Sabres get 2021 3rd and 2021 5th in return:

Meh, nothing to complain about value-wise. Adams got fair value for Staal given his numbers this year.

Still would've preferred Adams to wait until the deadline to make this move though.

[Husko]

Good for him

Solid return. Two wildcards is better than one.
