LGR4GM Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 43 minutes ago, Huckleberry said: I disagree, I think the ceiling of both is currently a middle six winger. And puljujarvi is a reclamation project more than anything they go badly. Nylander is developing still, had some set backs due to injury, I'll keep Nylander. I think if both had gone to college or stayed in juniors, we would think differently of them right now. I'd take a chance on Puljujarvi because I think his skill set is worth taking a shot on.

Scottysabres Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Brassard reportedly on the outs in Pittsburg. I'd trade Sobotka for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely have a good amount of interest in Brassard Sobotka isn’t even a third of the price it’d take to get him, though. He’s probably someone I would consider sending a first for depending but you can probably get him without giving one up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Brassard would produce more here than he does in Pitt, I'd expect. I'd try and make the move for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to get him for this year though, help bolster a run to the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what the other piece is. There's not a lot I really like from Pittsburgh honestly. I probably don't want to give up a 1st in a Brassard trade but I'm fairly confident that's not what we'd need to beat other offers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I know what fans say means nothing, but ordinarily fans overvalue their players. And reading what Pens fans are saying about Brassard, I definitely don't think we'd need to give up a first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be willing to consider it depending on the deal but realistically it wouldn’t be needed. The Pens gave up Ian Cole, a 1st, 3rd, 4th, Ryan Reaves and a mediocre goalie to get Brassard, a 3rd and two prospects. The 3rd, 4th, the goalie prospect and Reaves offset with the higher third and two prospects. So it was essentially a 1st and Cole for Brassard. Now his value is lower.

Scottysabres Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Ok, moving on from Pittsburgh and Brassard, let's talk Winnipeg. The Trouba situation has their fans thinking they may have to move Ehlers this off season. Ehlers, Yes Please!!! Trouba and Ehlers, YES PLEASE!!!! Discuss.

Randall Flagg Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 They would never move Ehlers nor should they. Trouba is different, it sounds like he doesn't really want to be there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Winnipeg doesn’t need to move Ehlers or Trouba until the end of the season. This team is not in position to trade firsts for rentals. The path to the second round will go through Tampa or Toronto, both teams are far ahead of the Sabres. I would expect the Sabres to lose 4-1 or 4-2 in a series against either team. That being said I never expected them to make the playoffs until the winning streak so any playoff appearance would be golden. If I was Botts, I would call up Nylander, Smith and Olofsson to see what they have to offer. Now if a younger player with term or pending RFA Status that fits in the future becomes available, that’s a different story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
