[Tatanka]

How highly does BUF fans value Reinhart? Would you guys be interested in a deal around him and Subban?

Samson is too valuable to think about moving for Subban. Patch a hole by creating one.

Just as you appreciate Forsberg or Arvidsson, he is our best winger and there is no interest in trade him for Subban, on the contrary, we need to add help to the top 6, and not to trade one of our three best forwards.

 

[TehDoak]

Kreider @ 50%, Howden and Shatty for 7th OA.

Nope.

Adam Henrique, Nick Ritchie

For

Rasmus Ristolainen

Don't want that Henrique contract, at all.

Brodin for Mittelstadt + Scandella, whom I am led to believe is considered a cap dump by BUF fans. IF I am wrong about that, just take him out of the deal.

I like Brodin, but Mittelstadt is likely a non starter.

Fair enough. I thought I had read something like that, but wasn't sure.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Tierney for a 2020 2nd round pick. Buffalo can throw in Sobotka if they want.

This is the only half way decent offer in this thread.

Well the Brodin one is fair but I'd decline. We already have the worst center depth in the league thanks to a certain trade.

Don't want Hagg. Don't have much interest in Ritchie or Henrique contract either.

Lol. No.

 

[is the answer jesus]

Yea because adding 3 NHL players to a team desperately in need of NHL talent is terrible. I guess keep the rebuild going and hope for 7th OA to turn into a good player in 3 or 4 years. Not like Buffalo needs any players or anything.

So we should trade a pick that should yield a high end prospect for depth players. Gotcha. Next.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Which wingers in Sabres are better than Kreider?

Skinner and Reinhart by about 5 country miles. I also have a lot of confidence in Olofsson. That's really besides the point though. Even if all of our wingers were AHL caliber, Kreider still wouldn't be worth anything even remotely close to the 7th overall pick. Rangers fans need to let that dream die.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Brodin for Mittelstadt + Scandella, whom I am led to believe is considered a cap dump by BUF fans. IF I am wrong about that, just take him out of the deal.

Considering Braun just fetched a 2nd + 3rd, I'm quite certain Scandella still has real value in the eyes of at least some NHL GMs. I'd love to get Brodin, but with only 2 years left, and with our lack of depth at forward, that trade is far too risky for my liking. Mitts still has a crapload of potential even if his rookie season wasn't as impressive as we'd hoped for.

What do the Sabers need most? Depth.

They certainly don't need another prospect that would do nothing for them in 3 years. The sabers cant draft or develop. Might as well get NHL talent for your pick.

I'll leave the Henrique thing aside, why wouldn't Buffalo have interest in Ritchie? Physical, young forward who produced at a 40 point pace and is signed for two very affordable seasons. He'd be your 2nd best LW and makes 1.5M... I'd think there would be at least some level of interest.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Assuming Montreal swings and misses in everything, what for Scandella in July ?

They thought they were trading for depth in the O'Reilly trade last season. Tell me how that worked out?

You know its possible to acquire depth while also keeping your high end draft picks, right? Like I might trade #31 plus some other stuff for Kreider, but I'm not giving up the chance to draft an elite player.

It seems that someone disliking your proposal has sent you into an illogical frenzy.

Perhaps personal opinion. Maybe hes taken a step forward this past season. It always depends on the cost. I wouldn't like him as a main piece in a Risto trade though.

He took a big step forward this season. Trained with Roberts over his extended off season and had a noticeable improvement to his skating.

I can understand not seeing him as a main piece for Risto, but there's no good reason not to want him in general.

 

[Tatanka]

I think Henrique would be a decent answer to our issue at C but I think we would rather have a d prospect coming back as well for Risto.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Based on what Braun returned, I think Scandella is worth at least a 2nd, maybe + a later pick or middling prospect.

That would really fill in the hole Buffalo had all year for a two way, play driving 1B type centre.

 

[Sabreality]

Nothing against the player, but I'm not interested in taking on 5 years of Henrique at 29. They don't have to make that kind of move THIS summer with so much cap and roster flexibilty coming next summer.

50th For Scandella and a 2020 pick ?

 

[MetalJaws]

It was a great trade. O'Reilly is a elite level player. Buffalo didn't know what to do with him. If he played 2nd line Center last year for Buffalo that team looks way better and performs at a higher level. The organization as a whole just makes bad mistake after bad mistake. They need NHL players. Bottom line. Drafting 7th OA is not going to move the needle for the next 3 years.

 

[Tatanka]

They need to make a move this summer if they want to get out of the basement. Mitts could use a lesser role and Henrique could slide down in the later years. he also is a decent PK guy. Henrique and Reinhart would be formidable on the second line. I do not think he falls off the edge at 30, but I get the concern.
