How is your farm club? Again no offense I just only follow the amerks and then standings not individual teams. Bailey could be a good add in that capacity if you had a replacement for kassian at the nhl level and could clear cap while replacing said player called up. I'm asking out of curiosity not trying to oversell I really don't have any knowledge of your farm club without actively looking it up.

I’m pretty sure you can’t trade dead cap haha.
A pick would be fine. I’d prefer a prospect with bottom six upside but I wouldn’t complain about a 3rd/4th.

Better than it’s been lately. Heavily outshooting opponents routinely. Benson-Marody-Hebig were an excellent line until Marody got called up. Caleb Jones and William Lagesson have been really strong on the blueline and Bear is excellent though dinged up right now. Could use another decent scoring forward though.

I’m not sure what we’d do with Ennis. He’d be waiver fodder once Rattie is healthy.
We have a ton of forwards that can play bottom six - Hence why we’d be looking for Kassian++ for an upgrade on the wing or on the blue line, Kassian for a pick, or Kassian for a prospect.
Gotcha. Well I won't derail the thread. The sabres badly need a big body presence in my opinion and kassian could be a known commodity. He was a huge fan favorite in rochester in his tenure there. I'd find a way to add him myself and make a deal work but I'm sure other teams could offer straight picks for him and the sabres really can't unless they are futures and we find a way to shed some salary. I'd be open to a bigger deal etc but again don't wanna derail a league wide proposal.
Cheers guys, you've been a pleasure to talk with great thread so far if you ignore a few posters.

Why would he garner that condition?
That condition is usually reserved for guys that are either 1) playoff performers or 2) difference makers (i.e. not 4th liners)

It's just to equal out contracts, he could be waived. I'd roll the dice on Kassian but his last 2 seasons have me hesitant to give up more then the 7th+Ennis. We have a few 7ths and figure it's not too bad a gamble but not dying to acquire him either.

The last Brown we got from Toronto didn't work out so well for us, and he seems to be the whipping boy of the leafs this year. Is the Dance of the Lemons really the best option?

My cap runneth over
Chiarelli is so bad his 4th liners request permission to negotiate trades out of town.

The guy you are pumping has 0 goals in AHL this year. If we are trading Kassian for an AHLer we would hope for somone With good upside.

Marincin doesn’t do much for us either. Guess it would depend on the pick but he wouldn’t be in the NHL and I wouldn’t want to take playing time away from our young D in the AHL.

Last year he put up 45 points at the ahl level and had some cups of coffee at the nhl level to boot. His speed north to south is nhl worthy now. Also this year he's been bumped down the ahl roster namely because we have severse high flyers right now in rochester topping the leaguein points so naturally his role had reduced.
I thought the premise of the thread was getting out of kassian and his contact not attempting to extract actual future value for him so I apologize. That's why I asked the aforementioned poster about ahl level needs. Bailey produces at an ahl level of 40 points the past few years, he's no ahl slouch but might not be anything more than a speedy nhl 4th liner in the end. However he is cheaper and can be an impact player at the ahl level.
If your looking for picks or nhl level production better than kassian than I can't find a fit for a trade I'm sorry. Cheers
He seems destined to end up being a $2 million 13th forward this year. I would say that Edmonton would put him on waivers but I don't think they have the ability to sent him down to the minors given his contract situation. They will probably end up making him a healthy scratch for a long time this year assuming they have players in their system and on their roster that could replace him,

Kassian’s now mass blocking Oiler fans on Twitter, and anyone else who’s ever said anything negative about him.
Shame. Maybe just a coping/sanity mechanism.
