Trouba wants to stay in NY for family reasons. Dreger mentioned in on WGR earlier today, so I am not convinced Buffalo would be on that list. Nice short and direct flight from Buffalo to NYC.

If Adams made this trade the draft guys have already assured him that at 11 or 14 the options present similar upside.

Hello, do you have moment to talk about Michael Brandsegg-Nygård

This tweet doesn't make sense to me. Jiricek and Emery will almost guaranteed be there at 14.

But you also get another swing at pick 42. If they don't trade anything (I just do not believe that at all now) then you moved from 11 to 14 but also get an extra swing in round two at pick 42. Who might drop to 42 and 43? Lots of options in that range if I am being truthful.

My dream is alive!

I think they want Eiserman at 11 to play with his friend Celebrini

Value wise in the draft, this is a good trade.

If you need to attach a 2nd round pick to move Skinner...

We're getting rid of Skinner to change the look of the team right? But if you bring in Necas, sure he can go on the 3rd or 2nd line whatever but he's better Skinner basically. It's painting a room and saying you remodeled.

It doesn't bother me. X away.

No one cares about the xs. Everyone can use them, it's a good feature.

My broheim, I don't like Necas because he doesn't change the teams dynamic.

Tom Brady retired

I think he disagrees with me. Even disagrees with a tweet I posted with no comments.

4 years at 3.25 is high.

Dude, kiss my grits. @Thorny so salty today.

I mean, I don't disagree except I think some of the prospects do have grit. Still Buffalo needs to value "hard to play against" more than they do. It is why I keep bringing up Nygard, he is a pain in the ass to play against.

Dreger on trading Jeff Skinner: Sabres would retain money in a Skinner trade and there has been interest. idk if it is much leverage. He can get 2/3 of the remaining money owed and easily get more than the 1/3 he's missing out on. A bet a lot of teams will look at the good years with Eichel and Tage and be like, you know, his issue is that team sucks but he's really good at about 5mil a year.

to be truthful, I think that might be a long shot. Skinner could get 2/3 of his remaining cash and fill more than that last 1/3 in a new deal (he's going to get more on the open market than 3x3mil). That 2/3 is the buyout he gets. Darren Dreger says there is clearly interest in trading for Jeff Skinner.

Clearly indicated IMO that they are trying to trade him and have gotten some interest. He had some line about when he gets an offer for a player like Skinner he has to take that to the player and get a feel for what they are thinking because of the NMC.

Kevyn Adams just mentioned on WGR that the morning of the 2022 draft they moved Östlund up 1 spot and then ended up getting him at that spot (which implies to me that the player they moved him in front of was still available). That is very interesting considering I feel Östlund is one of the players the fanbase in general is pretty meh on.

Not likely. They might have more details or be easier to tweak but there wouldn't be enough variance to drastically change the narrative IMPO.
