Quoting: Mattkenn
I am not so sure Sabres will get a ton of value for Hall... Just last year NJD got a 1st + Middling prospects and I don't think his value went up in any way.
Interesting you mention Mittelstadt, I was thinking Mittelstadt and Poehling will complement eachother very well! Two Minnesotats guys, that know each other from growing up withing the Team USA system. I think pairing them together could wake Casey Up! Down the road you can either put them with Cozens, Quinn or Reinhart... should make for a good line!
Byron, no real value, I presume to balance the cap this year, this is tough as he still signed for two more years.
2021 1st round pick (MTL) not likely to be a lottery pick,
Armia, a UFA who could be signed for far less than Hall. If Bergevin could sign him to an extension, this is a great deal for Buffalpo
Peohling, a former first round pick who may be a career AHL player.
I would make this trade only if Armia was signed to an extension for less than $3,000,000 for at least 3 more years.
Byron's contract is hard to take on IMO, while they both PK, MTL PK is about the same success as Buffalo.
