Jexus Chryst this is bad.

Yeah this gets a golf clap for an effective troll.

This takes a lot more effort than just trading Staal for McDavid. Appreciate the work here.

You don’t pay a 2nd to clear less than $2 million in cap space and downgrade your goalie.

Hutton breakout year. Maybe vexina reward. He’s going to be star in future. Bufalo is lose trade.

You are nearly correct.
Please look what it cost the Leafs to move Marleau.
So how about:
NYR
Hutton, Carter
BUF
Lundqvist, Henrik 2020 1st round pick (CAR)
No retention!

This is compliment but I am not troll. I make ranger win cup sooner. Benet is star in making first draft round late arrival. Break away year coming for him you see

Clearly you are Russian spy. Please don't hurt my family.

Detroit isn't giving up a 2nd for Andersson.

It might cost a 1st, if the team is buying out Lundqvist. If they aren’t, he has value as an NHL goaltender, which would mean it costs less to move him. At 50% retained, you’re probably able to move him for free.

No only part Russia live near Russia Tallinn is not Russia is Estonia but have lived Poland and one summer in Russia with hot girl.

The Leafs gave up a first to move Marleau and the Canes bought him out.
I think the trade I proposed is about correct. But I am being very optimistic and I am not sure if the Sabres could afford to pick him up.
Regardless thank you for your candid response to my question.
Often questions as this are ignored.

No problem about responding to it. The thing about Marleau is that the Canes tried to convince him to play for them before the trade happened, to no avail. I think that they would’ve been willing to take less incentive if he were able to play for them. But it depends how you would value the players if they didn’t have a cap hit.
