nah we'll keep teddy if he is signing for that price

If I’m not mistaken , you guys will lose one of Aston Reese or a blueger to Seattle

It really depends on who Hextall decides to protect or expose.

Locks Right now as I see it,

87, 71, 59, 17, 42
8, 58
35

So there some decisions to be made on who out of 12, 13, 16, 19, 53, 77 gets protected up front and 5 and 28 (Marino is exempt) on the back end. But also ZAR and Blueger need new contracts as well and are both RFAs.

I don't think the Sabres trade Sam within the division, let alone to a Rival for that price.

There is precisely zero chance buffalo except that return for Reinhart, especially to a division rival. Half of the leafs fan base is hoping Kerfoot gets taken by Seattle, why would anyone think Buffalo would want him?

He’s a better placeholder than putting Cozens at 1C. Also still young and can still produce, the reason the Leafs want him to be taken by Seattle is to get the cap flexibility . Amirov and a 1st is a really good return plus a Kerfoot placeholder
