NHL Trade Deadline Big Board: Mattias Ekholm, Jack Eichel and 26 others who could be dealt

24. Taylor Hall, Sabres: Hall was pushed down this list for a couple of reasons. One, even on an expiring contract, he’s expensive. Most teams just don’t have the financial flexibility to add $8 million, even pro-rated. “Buffalo is going to have to eat half the money and I don’t know what pick they’re getting to do it. Maybe a second? They’re not getting a first,” said one executive. “There still aren’t many top-six guys you can add and he’s a top six. No one is going to want to take on the pro-rated $8 million cash.”

a 2nd and a 4th is fair

retain half, 2nd mete and poeling

ill even add thompson

Take out Thompson and Poehling

2nd + Mete I'd consider. Mete is our 7D and he's pretty valuable to us because he can step right in if there's an injury. Getting Hall would be big though so I wouldn't be opposed to the trade.

change the prospects to one of tuch/mysak and one of struble/brook

I don't know how to like it but I like this scenario !

You'll have to re-sign Frolik or Perry if you trade Byron, to have two forwards to expose to Seattle.

Just sayin'.

I'm not giving that up for Ekholm

Sabres decline
