I don’t think tanking is on their radar. A high pick is probably viewed as an added benefit but not the goal. 

I think they went into this season viewing it as some sort of “Culture Year™️“. As if that could be instilled by reinforcing positive messaging rather than by achieving a winning formula.

Cost would hurt.  Cozens, Borgen and a 1st?  (Just spit balling a package that every fan would cringe at)

Maybe have to add pieces (BOGO or something like that for $$$ purposes)

Certainly there is no way the Sabres should do this unless an extension is part of the deal.

But IF Hall would sign an extension, would NJ take Risto, Mitts and an unprotected 2020 #1?

And would JB offer it?

I would be fine with that assuming there’s an extension 

[Brawndo]

I wouldn’t offer the unprotected first, because if the Sabres still miss the playoffs that’s the 1st Overall Pick In 2020 based on Taylor Hall’s Track Record

If I'm NJ, I laugh and hang up.  Garbage, possible garbage, and a complete unknown.  See my offer.

The big concern is the Sabres already have Skinner locked up on a long term deal at LW. Locking up two LWs at their ages to long term expensive deals, doesn’t seem wise at this point.

I think that the only way that they get a package like that is if there is an extension already agreed upon.

I think Taylor Hall would be an excellent on-ice addition. 

Dont want to give up good assets and a Skinner-sized contract. One or the other maybe, but not both.

I disagree in that cost primarily due to the contract situation. They aren’t getting 2 1sts and a D prospect for approximately 20 games of Taylor Hall. 

If he had an extension however that would make sense.

I would guess if Hall has made it clear he wants to be a UFA he’ll be worth a protected 1st or a 2nd and a middish prospect. Cap stuff not withstanding.

You don't trade for him unless it's with an extension. As a rental, his price would be negligible.

There is no way Hall is signing an extension with us before he has a chance to see what’s out there as a UFA.

I think as a rental he could still get a 1st (probably lottery protected at least) + a B prospect (Borgen, Pekar)

Something like that.  That’s a pretty good return.

Just as a comparison, I would think he would get a little better return that what Kane got.

Colorado is the most logical trading partner. Per Puck Daddy, the Devils have been heavily scouting all levels of the Avs Organization and Colorado has the cap space and prospects to make it happen 

[Zamboni]

Would JB do Skinner and Asplund for Hall straight up. Assuming an extension was in place.

Doesn't matter unless Skinner wants to play in Joisey.  He has a full NMC.

If Botterill trades our 2020 first for anything short of a #1 center under the age of 25 he should be fired before the fax goes through. 

Trade our 2020 first for a 28yr old lw, are we even trying to build a team here?
