thewookie1 Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 My guess would still be a 3rd that can become a 2nd next year but I certainly wouldn’t turn down more. As for player vs pick; it’s easier to acquire picks than players since one is more or less a currency transaction and the other is bartering Quote

Cage Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 I just don't have a feel for hockey trades in the draft the way I do for football.... not sure who's interested in him, but maybe using him to trade one of our 2nd's up into the first?? Quote

French Collection Posted June 16, 2023 Report Posted June 16, 2023 I wonder if the Wild would be interested in VO? They are good defensively but could use another scorer. If the Sabres were to retain salary that would help them out as they are hit with $14M penalty on the Parise/Suter buyouts. I would consider Marc Andre Fleury in a return. This also helps the Wild’s cap crunch. Fleury is $3.5M for one more year. He could take Anderson’s spot but has the ability to play more games. He is from Quebec, like Levi so there would be a connection there. He is known to be a great guy in the room, so there shouldn’t be any issues there. He has won Cups and has loads of experience. Minnesota has to deal with RFA Gustavsson and has highly touted prospect Wallstedt ready to move up. They could go cheap on goaltending and rely on Gustavsson, who had a great season. There could be additions to sweeten the pot, if necessary. 1 Quote

Night Train Posted June 16, 2023 Report Posted June 16, 2023 An actual NHL player in return. Sabres are way past the bottom 4 thinking of a long term rebuild. Screw future picks.

Sure the yacht is a tangible object and you know what it is, but that money 💰 you just got can be turned into any number tangible objects your heart desires. In the cap world of the NHL, having liquid draft picks helps a lot. Quote

His replacement on the roster is already here in Jordan Greenway. Adams sacrificed excess scoring in his middle six wing group for a boost in size and defensive awareness. The combination of Greenway and whatever Adams uses Victor for needs to benefit the team more than Olofsson and the 2nd he gave up for Greenway. Edited June 16, 2023 by dudacek 1 Quote
