Bouncing off an idea

No reason to get Bean, Raddysh seems to prove he belongs. Also Cirelli's value is kind of unknown at the moment. The lightning have been overpaying recently though so I don't know how this would go.

I think a mid first is the right value for Mittelstadt at this point, I just don't think the Sabres are looking to move roster players for futures anymore.

Picking up Bean will solidify the left side and hes an RFA after next season so we can either keep him or move him later on. Cirelli has decent value as a two way 2C and had the best playoffs on Tampa with Killorn and Hagel. He is slightly overpaid but he could be the 1C on Columbus for a long time and that contract can look like a steal in 2 years

Oh I completely agree Cirelli is a great player, I don't see him as a 1C personally but I get where you are coming from. I still think you could take it another way as Raddysh is solid, maybe recoup some more draft capital instead of Bean as currently the way you are sitting you have a sixth and two seventh rounders.

Raddysh will likely swap with Bogosian assuming he has a better camp. Love Raddysh's game alot. just figured Bogo's game will be better next to Bean and when Raddysh is put in, they can either go 11-7 or move Cernak down and do Bean-Cernak and Sergy-Raddysh
