Deadline

Sabres are all for that.

Idk that they would be honestly, and for sure without retention on KO. Something isn’t right with Monahan. Not saying buffalo’s pieces are good, but Cags and Pitluck are washes imo. Then it’s Monahan for Girgs and KO. KO is a good locker room guy, is decent enough offensively and good defensively.

It's basically a bunch of overpaid 4th liners for a top 6 C. Monahan paired with some of our offensive producers could be deadly.

Okposo and GIrgensons are probably gone at some point anyway with the influx of forwards and needed cap space for these young kids coming up + draft picks.

Except Monahan is NOT a “top6” quality center anymore
He hasn’t played to that level in 4 years

In his last 83games (this season and last), he has a total of 44pts

Seems like you’re remembering what he once was,
and not what he now is -and has been- for the last 3 seasons now

It's pretty fair to assume a trade involving career 4th liners with a potential in a reemerging top 6 C is a deal worth taking. Not to mention the fact those are vets who will be sacrificed for the youth anyway.

Monahan can be dealt for than any of those 3 in a futures return as well.
