The Hoffman deal is the only one the Habs would actually do

Buffalo 100% declines, And Letang will run you anywhere from $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 per not that low ball figure.

Vegas deal can be a steal if we look at it closely

Since you don'T give much that those kind of commenst nor actively doing AGM to show us your vision I won't bother to give any credit to any of your comments.

You can't be serious with that sabres trade

Sabres are not Trading JJ, have zero interest in Petry, and if they move the VGK pick it would probably be for an experienced NHL player.

I don't waste my time on doing AGM because it's a 50/50 deal that anything happens. I will do just signings from time to time as they're much safer.

The Buffalo deal is highway robbery for you guys lmao. Mailloux is not a good prospect, Peterka is a really good one. Plus you guys exchange Petry who holds little value due to his contract (tho he is a major rebound candidate) for a 1st!

I'm moving up from 54th to 16th spot and give 2 rd to your team and ask for a good young prospect for our veteran d going your way. What is that wrong with this offer?

so why wasting your time on HABS AGM then?

If you watched the last month after Power arrived, it became clear the Sabres no longer are as focused on a veteran RHD to pair with him and will rely on their young defense core of Dahlin-Samuelsson-Power-Jokiharju to form the top 2 pairs.....if they add a veteran in the offseason, it'd be more for depth on the 3rd pairing (if they don't commit to Fitzgerald). So thinking they'd want Petry so badly to give up their 2nd best forward prospect plus a 1st rounder that will end up being in the top 16 is all lopsided in the Habs favor.

It's a free site, Just saying that the Petry trade is bad for Buffalo. And Letang is seeking far more money than what you're offering.

Letang is asking for 7M X 5 years. Where did you get that 8 to 9M? Please give me your source. Oh wait, there's none. That's what i thought, as always coming from you.

I aint saying they want him badly, this is what i offer to move up and i think this is close in value.

Honestly if you want Nicolas Roy, just offer sheet him at $4.1M and he'll cost you two 2nd rounders - I would seriously doubt Vegas would match, considering that they are going to be hard up against the cap. I don't think the value here is terrible but you keep more chips in your corner just doing an offer sheet (sure you lose out on Korczak but he's not a high upside prospect.)

Arizona might think about trying to acquire Weber but Dvorak is a guy they already moved on from once - I don't see them bringing him back. Besides, his contract doesn't match their type - it's backloaded a bit so he actually costs more in salary paid out than his cap hit over the rest of his deal.

I honestly don't know why Anaheim would trade anything for 2 years of a declining Mike Hoffman at $4.5M, much less a 3rd round pick. He doesn't fit their timeline at this point - you might be able to get him unloaded on a contender with some retention, but not a rebuilding/retooling team. If you want to reunite the Guhle brothers, I'm sure you can just throw the Ducks something from the back end of your roster - if they even keep his RFA rights after this season.

Petry to Buffalo doesn't make any sense. First off, Petry's probably got the Sabres on his NTC. On top of that, you're asking for one of their top prospects for the age 35-37 seasons of a guy at a position that they don't need to put a ton of assets into upgrading. It's hard to ascribe any value to Mailloux because he's become such a question mark - he's 19 years old and has only played 16 OHL games to this point. Hard to get any sort of gauge on what he's going to be, so I can't see him adding much to the trade. The pick swaps are nice for Buffalo but I don' t think it makes up for trading their top wing prospect for an aging vet that doesn't fit their rebuild timeline (they're still probably 2 years away from contending seriously.)

Buffalo are atrociously in need of vets to build their core to be sure to go to the next step. I defer to think it's a sacrifice that they should do.

If Buffalo needs veterans so bad, they could easily just sign one in free agency and keep Peterka. Chris Wideman, Justin Schultz, Anton Stralman, PK Subban, Justin Braun, or even their own UFA Colin Miller are all guys that will be readily available this summer for just the cost of a contract and have produced at or very close to Petry's numbers this season.

Holy f*** that Sabre trade is bad. Hard no. JJ is one of their best prospects and they have 0 interest in Petry

They dont need a vet at all, but at that price they could get a much better one

Really? Look at Habs are their vets this season? How did that work out. The trades in general proposed.....iffy to bad cap leaving Montreal and you expect good asserts in return. Teams spend their cap in much better ways

if you say so!

THE SABRES DO NOT WANT PETRY
And we aren’t giving you Peterka OR a 1st

I’d rather have ANY (and ALL) of the 3 pieces you’re getting over anything you’re sending us

Sorry dude, but really bad

NOPE- NOT PETRY
ZERO CHANCE- NONE

You have no idea what kind of prospect Mailloux is, he just comes with a stain on his reputation so it's not a positive light but the player can still be a really good RHD. And people can hate it all they want but the price for Petry is still likely a 1st and good prospect. Top 4 RHD like Petry arent exactly available, only ones available are Klingberg and Letang both of which will be more expensive on the cap for what's likely gonna be similar play next season.

You both offer the most insightful comments on Cap Friendly.
I wish I knew as much about the value of players as you two do.
I barely know how to comment about Sabre deals, you both offer knowledgeable information on many trades.
Thank you both for your comments.
