I'm fine with Lafferty. We have Jones, Murphy, and Regula/Mitchell on the right.
Here is the deal, it really does not matter if Mitchell has a higher ceiling than Jokiharju or not, it is the other pieces of the trade.
Kubalik is an RFA whose qualifying offer will be $4,000,000, he plays LW a position that Buffalo has decent depth.
Buffalo could resign Vinnie Hinostroza at a fraction of that as Vinnie's goal production/60 was a bit better than Dominik's
Next, I just do not see where anyone would expect Johnson to fit into any line up for the next two years at $2,500,000 AVV.
Drake Caggiula provided almost the same offense as Tyler in less games at less than 1/3 the salary while Drake can PK and Tyler does not.
Johnson is a pure cap dump.
Kubalik will not be qualified by Buffalo as they have other less expensive options and he will most likely sign elsewhere.
We can agree to disagree if a RHD who has established himself as an NHL defenseman has more value than one who has established himself as an AHL defenseman, so let's not debate that.
At the end of the day Buffalo swaps out a proven NHL RHD for a possible NHL RHD, adds a cap dump and a second round pick.
Please tell me how this is good asset management for Buffalo.
