Cap crunch Buffalo trade SJS ARI

I think Buffalo would rather have Lundell considering he's pretty NHL ready and fits their needs

Strome ain't a 2C, any player Buffalo drafts at 7OA or earlier would be better than Strome in less than a year. This would make Eichel demand a trade, everyone (including GMs) know Strome got carried by Panarin last season

Cant see the sabres moving their first for strome

thats gonna be a no from buffalo dawg

we arent going to move back in the first round to overpay ryan strome for his outlier season playing with panarin

I presume that this trade would be contingent upon the draft spots essentially identical to current.
If either team moved down while the other remained steady, I would presume that would kill the trade.

So moving down from the 7th to 13th is only a little more valuable than Buffalo's second.
If we removed Rykov it would make it closer to Buffalo's second.

Would the Rangers accept Buffalo's 2nd for Strome, probably not.
As a Sabres fan, I would give up a 2nd for Strome, unless there was a better center available.

If you were to offer a different prospect instead of Rykov, as Buffalo's defense is young and has several defense-men prospects at least as good as Rykov, I think we have a deal.
