Sabres might be willing to swap Portillo for Tuch
Doubt we add in the pick swap though

Jake wont be increasing his start times
I see him golf every year at his tournament and he's got a lot of wear and tear.

You noticed he was getting the dad build for a couple years ,
Even how he used to stand with a straight back he's now got a slouch
Seems a lot like wear and tear on his vertibrae in his back have limits mobility.

Now im not saying he's crippled or injued.
Im just saying the rebound process to get healthy is taking longer and the Wear and Tear is piling up quicker.
That if he doesnt change something or limits his starts he'll be having some mobility issues sooner than later.

Primeau is a great prospect but his best NHL hope is a tandem and Allen aint the guy anymore.
For Allen to remain at his usual level he'll need to be downgraded from Tandem/Starter to Pure Back Up with 20 games a season tops .
Primeau needs a Montembault to help him make the jump to the NHL because without him he'll just be crushed

Take the retention off the Eddy trade and add a condition for playoff games played to upgrade the 2023 2nd to a 2023 1st. Then remove the 2024 2nd and it's a deal.

Tuch for Portillo straight up no picks on either side.

Matheson stays since Eddy is traded, no need to move them both.

Monty stays, Hughes already said he wasn't on the market, especially for that return.
