Isn't that what the Peterka trade is? A trade you dislike?

Or we do. Maybe our prospect pool isn't that desirable in these deals.

Kyrou sounds like a possibility. He's a rw though. I still wonder about Columbus in this trade.

The only cap on goals against is 0. Florida allowed 223g, Sabres allowed 287g. Florida scored 246g and Buffalo 265g. We're arguing over the wrong thing. It's goal differential. Buffalo was 23 and Florida 11th. All the teams above Florida are playoff teams too. So we can either score a lot more or reduce our goals against a bunch. But our goal differential has to come down from -22

Rust started 62% of all his shifts and 60% of his shifts in the offensive zone.

We might be able to take a center at 12, but my guess in this draft is thats winger or defense territory. This draft might be: 1. Schaefer 2. Frondell 3. Misa 4. Desnoyers 5. Hagens 6. Martin 7. O'Brien 8. Martone 9. McQueen They're talking that 7 or 8 centers will go in the first 10 picks.

I think Dobson was willing to extend in Montreal.

That's a stupid trade. Rust has mediocre defensive metrics and plays with Crosby. Helenius is a natural center... and we have to drop in the draft. It's a cap clear for Pitt. Trading Helenius for a 33yr old winger is dumb dumb stuff.

If Buffalo loses 20g from its scoring, which mean Norris is only good for the 9 more than the 11 Dylan "can't shoot for *****" Cozens got us, Buffalo would rank 16th in goals for. If Buffalo drops 20goals against that brings them from 3rd worst to 8th worst. Buffalo needs goal reduction badly.

With an extension handshake

This just isn't true. If you told me there was a deal for 9, Helenius, Byram for Robertson, I doubt many would blink at it.

Im not that interested in Rust to be truthful.

So I get 12 and Rust for 9 and Rosen?

It's perfectly okay to actually use the pick. You can still trade a prospect after you draft him.

Emil Heinimem is the prospect

Idk if bad is the word but questionable is. I think that applies to both guys.

Carter Bear is a lw/c ... we could use one of those in the pipeline, just saying.

Helenius + Byram better bet a hell of a lot more than just Kyrou.

No

Sal just had Belle Fraser on from Utah talking about the trade and that was a great listen.

I think one thing to think about if they use 9, is that mrtka isn't as important to Buffalo with Kesselring in the fold. Jackson Smith has really slid in consensus rankings so he's gonna be available.

Frondell at least to me, isn't dynamic. Yes the shot is, but his skating, passing, handling, defense are all just fine. He just seems like one of these guys who's a good puck protector with a great shot who's gonna give you 30g, 30a at his peak and I need more at 2nd overall.

You can just match the offer
