Is the reason cash-related? They've 3 open retention slots and nearly 18M in available cap space, it would make sense for them to weaponize that, unless they're having money problems. They'd only be paying about $275k-350k.
It could honestly be to any team with the cap space though.
In general, your logic makes sense
But for us, a 4th doesn’t hold much value considering how stocked- overstocked actually- our prospect pool is
We also need to make a few trades to fill in some holes,
& it would make more sense to use our retention slots in deals like that as opposed for mid round picks
It’s commonly believed that the Sabres owner wouldn’t go for a trade like u suggest
He’s worth over $10billion
We we do lose $$ on a yearly basis when we don’t make the playoffs
It just doesn’t make sense for our situation when u know the particulars
