Flip Holl at the deadline then with 50% retention to be some playoff teams 7th dman. And the hole Mrazek is awful is such a recesncy biased statement, he was a 1A 1B for years and he had one bad year in the Toronto spotlight and now he's done...Say they flip Holl for a 5th or 6th now just for having some cap space you have gained a 2nd, 3rd, and 6th round picks for giving up nothing
Considering Buffalo only received a seventh for taking on Bishop's cap, why would any Sabre fan expect a second AND Holl for taking on Mrázek.
First of all you sent me to my dictionary today, the first time ever in cap friendly, "recency" thank you very much.
Second, expecting a 3rd for Mrázek seems to be a little hyperbolic, far more likely to get a third or more for Holl at the TDL as NHL GM's get crazy when a RHD is available.
Third, you are correct, Buffalo would be silly to reject this trade.
With only one signed RHD, who else does Buffalo have in the pipe line after Jokiharju.
Fourth, Buffalo will not make the playoffs this year, with Mrázek in net they will improve their draft position.
His SV% of 0.888 was only a shade less (0.009) than Anderson's 0.897.
Lastly, I do agree with one more of your points, Mike Bales may be able to bring out the best of Mrázek.
If Dubas offered this to Karmanos, IMO, Jason would accept the deal without hesitation.
Of course, you need to remember, I often swim against the current.
EDIT: Let me add, I do not think the Sabres will be making any deals to reach the playoffs this year.
All Sabre fans should be able to take note Ben Bishop's contract was white flag of surrender that cap space will NOT be used to sign ANY UFA's this year.
The above mentioned trade is a good deal and offers the Sabres two NHL players filling holes in the line up and second round pick.
