GASabresIUFAN Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 Every year there is a player or two traded at the deadline with term who is traded because he needs a change of scenery. Last season KA smartly acquired Greenway for a 2nd and he has been a quality addition to this roster. He has played up and down the lineup, scored some timely goals, and killed penalties effectively. So who could be this deadline’s Jordan Greenway for the Sabres? Quote
SabreFinn Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 I predict it will be a dissapointing trade deadline, not only for the Sabres but overall, just minor impact players moving. I hope to be wrong. There are some RFAs that definitely need change of scenery. Kakko, Kaliyev, Mercer to name the three best. I do not think that Adams brings anyone of them to Buffalo, they might get in the way of our own prospects. And it might not be what we need either. I think he will be looking for veterans and grit. I hope he try to get Rasmus Andersson. Maybe Dowd to the fourth line. 1 Quote
mjd1001 Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 I guess we'll have to keep looking at a list of every American player Granato coached with the team USA program, see who is currently in the NHL but not having a major role with their team, and can be traded for with less than a 1st round pick or a top prospect. I haven't done the research, but it should be someone off of that list. 1 Quote

He cheap shotted someone that year, all over the city they had wanted posters on every pole in the city with his mug on it and some funny $hit. I'd take Kadri on this team. I like the rat factor. 2 1 Quote

Archie Lee Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 If the team continues its winning ways this week then I suspect the only two UFA’s we would be looking to move are Olofsson and E. Johnson. Neither will return much and their cap levels might require double retention for a team to even give them consideration. I don’t think either will be deemed worth the effort for another team. Though I still think Olofsson has a 7-8 goals in 9-10 games streak in him that could help a team get into the playoffs or through a round or 2. If making the playoffs (or even taking a run at the playoffs) is even a remote possibility come Friday, then I don’t think the return on Okposo or Girgs would be worth upsetting the current progression. Both are playing well. It would be nice to replace Olofsson and E. Johnson as roster options with two players the team would have more faith in. I heard or read that the Oilers want to make a splashy add but need to move out a couple pieces; Foegele and Kulak were the mentioned odd men out. Foegele is a UFA but would be a good bottom 6 add down the stretch and a potential Girgs/Okie replacement next year. Kulak has two years left at 2.75, which is high for a bottom pair or 7th D. But down the stretch I think he would be a good depth add and looking ahead to next year, if Kulak and a reasonably priced Bryson are our 4th pair, then I think we would be in good shape on the blue line. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 3 Author Report Posted March 3 What about Chychrun? 1 year left on his deal. Ottawa wants to move him. Mobile RHD. Contract is for about $5 million. Joki and a 2nd for Chychrun? Quote

Joki and a 2nd for Chychrun? No. Joki is getting better and expanding his game offensively. And compared to Chychrun, he has been more durable. What happens after a year when Chychrun's contract runs out? Needless to say, I'm more than a Joki fan than you are. If the GM was going to add another defenseman, I would like to see another Clifton like deal that would bring in another solid blueline player. If the GM was going to parlay a second-round pick, I would rather it be used to bring in a gritty forward who would give us more net presence. My priority would be to re-sign Mitts. Adding a Chycrun contract would make player retention more challenging. Again, no to your proposal. 1 Quote
kas23 Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 We already have an overpaid, oft-injured defenseman on the roster. No to Chychrun. 3 Quote

I would definitely not trade Jokiharju and a 2nd for him. Zub is more interesting. Quote
