Quoting: evelutions2
For taking on both Hornqvist and Bob, you only want Gudas? I mean, I would think that just for Bob alone the starting to dump, since Florida has no high picks, would be Lundell.
Yes, I am looking at it as Gudas for taking Hornquist, and then getting 1A goalie, that Sabres need. But Florida is retaining so that Bobrovsky, who is still proven goalie has cap hit of 7, rather than 10. It's him, or taking shot at Husso/Campbell for probably same cap hit.
I think, the retention is the ground for negotiation. I even took a look at potential buyout in 2 years.
I thought if Florida would want to trade full Bobrovsky deal, they would have to do it with Lundell or 2025 1st, since they have none sooner. But then, I don't think it would be something that Sabres be interested in.
So the deal would look like Bobrovsky + Hornquist + Gudas + Lundell for 5th rounder. Then you don't offer sheet Kakko, Hmm, maybe that is the way.
