Proposal: Partner for Dahlin

[Fat Elvis]

Martinez would probably be a solid vet option that can also move the puck on the right side and decent multi-year contract and plenty of playoff experience. I would guess there would have to be some other pieces concerning salary and no idea what each team would look for in value, but I think the player makes some sense.

Martinez is just a solid player, I'd have to think there will be more than one team interested if he's on the market. My guess is that LA would ask for a 1st or a 1st round type of prospect in return, not sure what they'll get. Reasonable contract with term.

Pesce for Middelstadt?

I can see a Ristolainen for Trouba deal.

I'm of the mind of go big or go home here. I'd do both of these trades (assuming we can lock up Trouba long term). Dumba fits as well.

We already have our fill of probably overpaid defensemen heading towards the downside of their career.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Can Strålman as a UFA make sense for 3 years?

Buffalo's a team on the rise, I could see Pietrangelo def waive his NTC to go to Buffalo.

For Mittelstadt or Ristolainen? That's not happening.

Pesce for Middelstadt?

I like Pesce a lot, but if there's a position more important than to success than D, it's C. And we have absolutely nothing there behind Eichel and Mitts.

Easy pass.

As an aside, when was the last time a team traded a prospect/young player of that caliber without there being some locker room turmoil or contract dispute behind it? Guys like Mittelstadt don't really get moved.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

No way in hell would Pietrangelo waive his NTC to go to Buffalo.

This guy sees Buffalo in the thread and sprints over to troll. Good job kid, well done.

 

[Roasted Nuts]

How about Erik Karlsson for Mittelstadt? From how the season is trending, it doesn't look like Karlsson would be too enticed to stay in SJ. We also need a young center for the future.

For EK locked up that would be very hard to pass up from Buff standpoint. Karlsson has not been impressive from what I’ve seen of him this year but this is a gamble I’d take as a Buff fan.

I like Mittelstadt a lot too, but we have Eichel, we don't have a Pesce at 4 million AAV. And sure probably won't happen, but then again most of these trades won't happen either.

Why exactly would he waive for Buffalo? What would entice a guy in Buffalo? Maybe the fact that they overpay everyone would be something that would entice a star player to go to Buffalo but not much else. Im sure he's not delusional and can see the Sabres are heavily overachieving.

yea, i mean it's not like one of the league's leading goal scorer didn't just waive a full NTC to go to buffalo... Pietrangelo is from outside Toronto. Skinner waived because Buffalo is close to home.

 

[BleedBlue14]

buffalo is on par with STL

Hey no need to kick us when we're down. Our players sure as hell aren't kicking you guys while you are down

I'd honestly rather wait till free agency and ask him directly what the damage is going to be. If he signs elsewhere, before that, I'll live with it.

I don't think St Louis is dumb enough to move on from Pietrangelo (although their hand could be forced if he won't re-sign there), but on the off chance they did entertain moving him I could see Buffalo being a potential landing point for that very reason. Combined with Buffalo's need on the right side.
I just refuse to engage in any type of back and forth with a poster like that. I don't think he's contributed anything meaningful to a single thread he's posted in.

Im pretty sure if Toronto wanted Skinner he would be in Toronto not Buffalo.

I’m pretty sure that’s irrelevant.

Erik Karlsson's legs/ankles are done. He will never again be what he used to be.

 

[typicalsavage]

I’m pretty sure that’s irrelevant.

Yeah it kinda is, on top of that im sure one of the reasons to waive to Buffalo was that he knew they had more cap space and were dumb enough to over pay him compared to Toronto who wouldn't be able to afford him.

 

[typicalsavage]

What exactly is gonna entice him to go to Buffalo over a team like Tampa or Toronto? The ONLY reason he would actually have any interest in going to Buffalo is that he knows they would be dumb enough to give him more than he's worth. I can totally see them giving him 10x8.

 

[KingTux]

Draft Alex Vlasic with San Jose pick

 

[Ovate]

Sign Hainsey once he hits FA.

 

[CHaracter79]

Petry and a 2nd for Middlestadt & Samuelsson

 

[McPhatty00]

How has Reinhart been? Can he play C? Carolina could have interest.

The "TRADE REINHART" ship has sailed.

 

[Randy Randerson]

if you're able to find an top pairing defenseman who plays the right side for an affordable trade price, I'd just like to say....dibs. Signed, Leafs

I just need to know what strain you used to conjure this idiocy.
