Why wouldn't the Leafs and Boston just make the Ritchie trade and give Boston's 3rd to Buffalo to retain in the middle. Leafs would save a 2nd round pick doing this and can move Holl elsewhere. They have much better options using this kind of framework.

And just to get in before Boston fans swarm you. They dont wan't Ritchie.

avs decline, they dont have room for a sub par goalie this year in Koskinen who would just take up cap space and a roster spot being their 3rd goalie

At either TDL or next year BUF should trade PIT for Zucker.

BUF has a lot of young guys. They are gonna need a guy who can help that locker room out. Zucker would be good for that, He's not a bad player just doesn't seem to mesh in PIT. He's also had some injury issues that keep holding him back. But he plays hard and he's responsible on the ice. That in the end is what younger players need to help grow their game.
As a 1 year deal who could cost BUF almost nothing, and probably be able to come back on the cheap after, I think he'd fit in well at BUF.

No one's getting a 3rd for Ritchie. Man's passed thru waivers with no claims

Only four comments, I expected a lot more hate especially from Sabre fans.
Thank you all for contributing.
Yes the trades of Ritchie and Koskinen could be to any team.
I do not disagree with any of you comments.
