hmm interesting how you can magical fit 4.5m into 1.8m that the devils have. Even with Bastian going the other still makes no sense, The math still doesnt add up big guy and the devils dont need or want tanev PS you would 100% have to retain 50% to move him either way your not moving tanev

I was prepared to comment “no”
But it’s an intriguing idea

I think that’s too much to give up
WAY too much without extensions in place frankly

I think I’d rather have Tanev than Hanifin though
Markstrom could also be of interest, IF u guys would move him

Would love to move him, he has a full NMC though.

Well if u guys do start selling guys off,
maybe he wouldn’t mind waiving to go somewhere else??

The Devils trade just doesn't fit. Miller will be our 3RD. Even if this was at the deadline, you'd likely need to include him and retain.

Add a Hanifin extension and take out Rosen.

Yeah can't see Buffalo doing that for 2 rentals, and Hanifin is a good player but I don't think he fits what Buffalo Needs Defensively

I think lindholm would be an incredible rental as a #3 center, but his next contract is probably double what he makes now, which would make him a luxury we wouldn't be able to afford. Tanev makes more sense to me than hanifin, I don't think we would actually pull the trigger now, as it likely pushes johnson to the press box, it's a bad look. Only interested in markstrom on the cheap, so I won't attempt that here.

Understood, thanks for the respectful insight!

Essentially the Buffalo trade goes against everything we have been doing thus I'd just say no thank you.
