Rubbin' the magic lamp.

Nurse a second and drai for parayko Thompson and a 3rd? No thanks I think drai alone could get parayko and nurse is worth more then Thompson and us adding a second to this trade is a loss

Berglund doesn't have negative value.

Buffalo GMBots thanks you very much for contacting him with an offer for ROR services.

He appreciates the interest but respectfully declines the offer. Steen at 34yo is not what the Sabres organization is looking for at this particular time..... maybe in 2019/2020 probably more like 2020/2021.

Actually, the deal was Parayko, Thompson and a 3rd for Draisatl and a 2nd.
I signed Nurse as a RFA--but that was a mistake on my part. I agree with you that Nurse has more value than what you assumed I offered.
If I were to rework that to include both Nurse and Draisatl, I would propose instead to substitute Pietrangelo, and we'd up the ante on picks:
Pietrangelo, Thompson, 2nd for Draisatl, Nurse, 1st. No, I don't expect that offer would be popular with the fans of either team. Managers might see it as a decent hockey trade though.
But regardless, it sounds like you agree that Parayko, Thompson and a 3rd for Draisatl and a 2nd is at least an offer worth entertaining. Is that fair?

I don't disagree, but I can't come up with a scenario where he returns anything of value, either. For anyone needing a player of his caliber, there are simply better options available. And I don't think his inconsistency should be rewarded, and certainly not at the cost of playing time for younger, hungrier players. Downgrading from a 3rd to a 4th pick to avoid the hassle of having to buy him out or hide him on a crowded roster is acceptable to me. But I don't expect that sentiment to be popular, either.
