Value of: Sabres sell off

[truthbluth]

Wouldn't mind Scandella on the Habs

Sold.
Wait, what’s the offer?
Doesn’t matter. Done deal.

 

[truthbluth]

it has been brutally cold for 2 weeks here in Calgary

Is it ‘here in LA’ or ‘here in Calgary’. This seems suspicious.

 

[RobRayzor]

Soboka (please )
Girgenson

How can you be a Sabres fan and mispronnounce the names?

Edit: Screw it.Might as well call Vlad a Svoboda, maybe that’ll add the value

The only reason why I wouldn't pull the trigger on a trade with Scandella is that it hurts our chances to sign a stud in free agency. If there was some kind of retention or the Sabres take back a small cap dump, then I would do it.

Oh hell no. He’s a serviceable dman. Just overpaid and unnecessary on this blue line on the left side. I would take a 7th rd pick, or a long shot prospect. But not taking back cap. He’s not negative value.

My point wasn't that he had negative value. Just that instead of a 7th for Scandella it would be a 4th/5th+Peca for Scandella. If the trade were to happen in the summer and no good UFAs want to sign with Montreal, then a 7th is more than fine.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Larsson is underrated

 

[57special]

So the Sabres want to trade all their non performing and untalented players. Novel idea.

Whoa. Why are you paying $1.3 Million to guy that had 20 career NHL games at 25?

Because we wanted to one up the Leafs who signed Tavares.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Whelp, looks like our season is going down the tubes. Maybe we should just sell. Nothing Earth shattering just some rentals and tweaks around the edges

Few names that might be available
Pominville
Soboka (please )
Scandella
Larsson
Girgenson
Rodriguez (who I would kind of want to keep, but I can't list Larry and Girgenson without Rodriguez)
Beaulieu
Edit
add Sheary

Again?

Does the rebuild ever end with Buffalo?

Which is why I am a little skeptical with the Rangers full rebuilding . Edmonton and Buffalo have been rebuilding for like a decade now and have even gotten 1st overall pics.

That's your contribution to the thread?

*shakes 8 ball*

Outlook not so good

 

[LOFIN]

Expected this when I read the title:

 

[dasaybz]

Man, I'm sure teams will really be lining up around the block to get those high quality assets

Did you miss the part where he said Nothing Earth shattering just some rentals and tweaks around the edges

 

[PoutineHabs]

Habs;
Scandella

Sabres ;
Reilly & Hudon

 

[Beerz]

Value of Girgensons to Toronto?

Marner

Yeah I get that these guys don't hold anywhere near the appeal that the Duchene, Stone, Hayes, etc's of the world do, but they could fetch some ok pieces and I think there'd be a market for these guys. Especially if GM's don't want to pony up 1st's and top prospects. I don't think they should move Girgensons or Larsson though. They won't garner enough of a return to make moving them worthwhile.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Here's the conundrum: The team that MOST needs decent bottom 1/2 of the roster guys is BUFF. If these guys can't be that there, then I don't see them helping out good teams.

Sure, I think Sheary might return something and vet dmen, even bad ones, always get dealt at the deadline, so Scandella probably returns something....

but I don't want my team going near any of those guys.

 

[Meeqs]

I get that but there is a certain cut off where its just not worth it for teams to trade for replacement level guys that everyone already has.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Ristolainen for a package built around Bouchard and Puljujarvi?

 

[gianni]

Canucks should be interested in trading for some underperforming wingers & depth d-men to shake things up/see if there's any chemistry. Not looking to take on extra term, or trading anyone 23 & under though. Any interest in Sven Baertschi, Brandon Sutter, Erik Gudbranson, Derrick Pouliot, and Markus Granlund? Willing to trade a more valuable player for an expiring, or shorter term contract.
