As far as the trade goes, it's...fine. I could see it happening.

But just imagine if it did actually happen like this. How would you feel if you were Jesse Puljujarvi? You had a rough start to your career, you just start to turn things around and now you're going to the BUFFALO SABRES. That couldn't be good for you.

Why would we trade our two biggest assets to get an overpriced forward?

That trade makes no sense for Buffalo. Why would they take on 2 additional years of Neals deal when they can sell Hall and Stall for that without taking back extra years on deals.

how about;

Hall (50%)
Staal
Thompson

for

Puljujärvi
Benson
Turris (i know hes worthless, but contract is much better than Neal's)
2nd

For me I would not trade Puljujärvi.
