Quoting: BUFF36
Buffalo accepts
Quoting: Sabres_Insider
Give buf heinen instead of 2nd
Quoting: Pensman69
Trades are pretty reasonable tbh
As a Sabre fan, combine the Ducks and Sabre trades:
TO PIT:
2022 7th round pick (
DAL)
Olofsson, Victor [RFA Rights]
Bryson, Jacob [RFA Rights]
Lyckåsen, Albert [Reserve List]
To BUF:
Marino, John
Zucker, Jason
Kapanen, Kasperi [RFA Rights]
2022 4th round pick (PIT)
2022 5th round pick (PIT)
2022 6th round pick (PIT)
2023 2nd round pick (PIT) (or Heinen if you wish)
2024 3rd round pick (PIT)
Zucker and Kapanen are over paid, but Buffalo could absorb their contracts.
I know they may keep Quinn or Peterka out of the line up, but is that a bad plan to give them a chance to grow in Rochester.
But right now they are both 20 years old.
Let's compare them to some other Buffalo successful draft picks:
Pominville spent over 3 years in Rochester and was 23 before he became Sabre regular.
Vanek after two years at the U of Minn spent a full season in Rochester and was 21 before he became Sabre regular.
Roy spent parts of three seasons in Rochester and was 22 before he became a Sabre regular.
Gaustad spent three seasons in Rochester and was 23 before he became a Sabre regular.
Zucker takes Olofsson's LW spot. Obviously does not replace his scoring, but he has 17 goals in his last 79 games while Olofsson has 20 in his last 72 games.
Marino adds to Buffalo RHD
Kapanen becomes a depth forward if the Sabres resign Hinostroza, if not he could PK in Buffalo as he did in Toronto.
Buffalo also gets a handful of draft picks, like candy to Jeramiah Crowe.
If I were the Buffalo GM and Hextall offered me this package, I would be thrilled.
Let me add, Buffalo sends three roster spots and the Penguins send three (or four if Heinen replaces the 2nd).
A typical exchange to balance the rosters.
