Casey Nelson loaned to Rochester (conditioning)

Here it is from capfriendly:

2019 conditional 4th round pick* (BUF)

*Conditions: If Sheary scores 20 goals or totals 40 points or if Hunwick is traded before the 2019 draft, Pittsburgh upgrades to a 2019 3rd round pick

I thought the verbiage was "waived or traded", but don't quote me on it.

Most likely outcomes IMHO, in order of likelihood:

1. Someone else gets hurt in the next 14 days, eliminating the need to make a move (because I think after the trade deadline there is no roster limit).

2. Hunwick is waived

3.  Beaulieu is traded for a low pick as @jame suggested.

4.  Scandella is traded for a decent pick.

Probably through multiple trades, I think we are effectively, we are going to move a LD and futures for a middle-six forward and futures.

I really think Scandella is the most likely player to be moved.

Id switch 2 and 3 in order... but yea, I mostly agree here.

Scandella makes a lot of sense to move, but not if you want to acquire a similar value forward. A team trading for Scandella, is a team trying to make a run, and said team's usually aren't subtracting middle 6 forwards at the deadline, they are using picks / prospects only.

Scandella makes more sense as an offseason trade when teams are moving pieces around.

If someone offers a 2nd for Scandella... you take it.

That's so crazy that Botts allowed that stupid condition to be inserted.

I think @dudacek was referring to a scenario where Scandy is traded to a team making a playoff run, and then the Sabres use the proceeds of that trade to bring in a middle 6 forward via a 2nd trade.

I'm a bit skeptical that this will happen but it's certainly possible.
