That EDM trade is not good for Buffalo m samuellson is a top prospect that we need on defenseman. I do like adding jesse but not for that price

The arizona trade is a really bad look. Botterill just paid a 4th to acquire frolik, now 6 weeks later you are selling him for a 5th AND retaining salary (which should add value). It really doesnt mean anything, our odds of developing an nhl player beyond the 2nd round are equally terrible for 4th or 5th rounders, but it would add to a staggering pile of evidence that our gm is completely overmatched.

Edmonton doesn't need any more defense prospects either, so this doesn't work for them. And they aren't trading JP for a rental, so he'll have to find a forward prospect / player to put in from BUF's side. Mittelstadt maybe?

Except that Mittelstadt has more value than JP
