Quoting: hullabaloo86
They give up too many core pieces for an unproven prospect, a 3rd line D with probably not a whole heap of upside, and a 3rd line at best forward. Losing Miller and Killorn for essentially Sheary (not counting Nylander as unproven) and a speccy 2nd rounder favours Sabres. Sergachev is 20 and a jet. He almost demands a 1st rounder on his own. No way McCabe covers that and with Stralman and Girardi potentially on the way Sergachev, Hedman and McDonough are the D-core.
First thing I'd say is I went off the trade of Risto + a 2nd for JT/Sergachev/Cally that a lot of people think is fair. I would take McCabe + Nylander for Risto from either side if the situation was right.
TBL clear up almost 20 mill in cap with what I see Sergachev signing for next year.
The value I've seen on Killorn has been between a 3rd and a 5th from Tampa fans, and Sheary replaces his production for this season. That value seems low to me, but it's coming from TBL posts.
I'd say Sheary's rental value is borderline a 1st, probably a little less in the off-season.
McCabe is a very solid 3-5 dman, and yes he is probably a guy who is who he is (a very solid bottom half d-man).
You can't just not count Nylander (unless you're specifically referring to the hole in the roster, then I get ya) 20 year old top prospects carry a lot of value. Should probably note that he's looked good in this call up.
I think you could talk me into making the 2nd round pick a 1st and a 4th.
