The Buffalo trade is the complete opposite of what the Sabres should and will do. They have great cap control and an incredible pool of prospects that need to be the focus of the teams future. Giving those away for a big number older rental is a very bad idea and does not help the team at all.

You're absolutely right that the Devils should keep the pick. If I were Chicago I'd want prospects instead of more picks though.

Detroit declines, don't need wingers.

Highly unlikely that Devils (a) move 2nd overall pick, (b) are targeting DeBrincat.

Veleno = late 2nd round pick, Sorry but Kubalik isn't worth no 2nd and 4th round pick.

Even Lou isn’t stupid enough to do that 😂😂, Beauviller is already better than Toews and islanders do not need centers

Most of these are pretty bad for the hawks. Far from ideal.

Left unsaid is the biggest detractor of all - maybe the Pegulas might be enamored of bringing the Buffalo-born Kane in as a PR gimmick but who says Kane would waive his NTC to go to Buffalo? From all of the media reports in the past year, Kane isn't keen on a rebuild and the Sabres - although further along in theirs than the Hawks are - are marginally a playoff hopeful next year and still 3-4 years away from being a potential contender. Any trade of Kane will be on his terms and I don't see the hometown angle mattering to him (he's never gushed over or talked about a childhood dream to play for the Sabres like Tuch did)

Like i said they shouldn't do this until the season if they are in playoff contention. This is the Ideal move for Chicago this offseason. Buffalo shouldn't even consider this move this offseason

My god the isles proposal is HORRIBLE....I know Lou is 80 but he isn't that stupid.
