Value of: Marco Scandella (off-season)

[Djp]

Scandella could be traded thus offseason with him being a free agent in 2020. He also could be signed to a short extension.

Buffalo might be interested in moving scandella for someone with 2 or 3 yrs remaining.

Horrible? Scandella would be a second pairing on most teams. Buffalo D is humming and only getting younger while oozing with potential. Toronto wishes they had a surplus Marco Scandella

I’m pretty sure he was on the side of Scandella here, you can calm down now.

That’s how you interpreted that? News, he’s not.

I read his reply and he actually said he was.

Yeah, I think BUF fans should take a deep breath. Last year, Scandella was a top pairing D, according to them, and this year, he's a 3rd pairing D.

I think it's much more likely that he is, and always has been, a second pairing Dman. It's possible that the fluctuation in his play is due to either an injury, players, or system, this year.

Why would we take a deep breath? He's most likely not going to be re-signed next year. Why would we when guys have clearly surpassed him on the depth chart.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

Sabres should not be trading him unless a better player is coming back.

People's memories are far too short.

Any Buffalo fan should be intimately aware of the need for defensive depth. There's no major cap-need to trade him away, and he's exactly the type of player competing teams look to add before a playoff run to bolster their own depth before the injuries hit.

He should stay put.

Agreed. I was just looking into his value from other teams for the sake of discussion. I do think he could end up being the odd man out. But again, this is simply for the sake of a discussion

He's worth a 2nd in a deadline deal. Not really what Buffalo is in the market for.

Would love to see him back in Minny
