Is Asplund really worth Jaros and a 3rd?
Quoting: csick
Idk he was a 2nd round pick, decent AHL numbers could amount to something
TBH, that is a really good trade for the Sabres.
Botterill picked up Miller for STL 2021 2nd which appears to be a late 2nd round, while OTT 2020 3rd is nearly a second.
I think Buffalo will not be able to sign both Girgensons and Larsson and maybe neither so Asplund appears to be the heir apparent which makes him a 3rd/4th line player.
If one were to value this trade as Miller for 3rd and Jaros, that makes it Asplund for Tierney.
While Jaros will not play a top 4 role for Buffalo he appears to be a solid 7th defenseman.
