No thanks from the Leafs. Treliving is not coughing up a 1st for a rental.

Colorado accept.
I don’t see Hanifin a good fit in Buffalo, but I would be surprised if they did get him.
Calgary doesn’t want Samsonov on their roster.

Colorado declines; they are not trading 1sts and one of their few good prospects for a rental.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s the Sabres laughing at your ABURD proposal

ZERO INTEREST in Hanafin
We aren’t giving another defenseman that kind of $$$ after we just gave HUGE contracts to Dahlin & Power

And we aren’t looking for a LD, we are looking for a RIGHT HANDED shot who plays solid defense
More like a $4-5mil guy than a $7mil guy

And btw…. we aren’t trading Savoie to get him
Again, LAUGHABLE

Avs decline. One of either a first or prospect but not both

Hahaha ok. What RIGHT HANDED dman will you target? Seems to me like there’s a massive hole in the top-4 along Dahlin Power and Samuelsson and few options to fill it.

I guess you could overpay an aging Pesce, doubt he chooses Buffalo as his UFA destination tho even if he’s from upstate NY. Ditto with Montour if he hits UFA. Beyond that, options are limited. Probably gonna have to just go for BPA over handedness like Ottawa getting Chychrun.

But hey, if it’s so LAUGHABLE, enjoy your bottom-10 ranked D and no good d prospects!

I think you guys honestly will (and should) go for a rental 2C, and the cost to dump Johansen will add to the overall price. Imo Lindy gets a first and decent prospect, but then add in Dube for depth (so you don’t have to keep dressing 11F halfway through the year) and the price to dump RyJo makes this fair value.

I get your points though and maybe it is too much. I just think there’s so few good rentals this year that this price of 1st+good not great prospect+cap dump is attainable, whether it’s from you guys or someone else.

Cool
And u enjoy the Fantasy Land where u think we’ll trade u Savoie for a player who doesn’t fit what we are looking for,
and will need a contract bigger than we’ll fish out for our #3 defenseman

So who would you target then? Genuinely wondering cause there’s few if any options out there meeting your description.

To answer your question,
the Sabres have tons of prospects we could potentially be traded for a RD
Guys do get traded who aren’t previously known to be available

You keep ignoring the question: who would you actually target?

List them. I’m curious who these #3 dmen are who are RD, make around $4.5, and are in the same stratosphere as Hanifin. Demelo? Larsson? Ceci? Myers? Slim pickings, all on the wrong side of 30 and significantly worse than Hanifin

I wouldn’t target ANYONE,
as I’m not the Sabres GM
But sure, Demelo or Larsson seem like reasonable options

Yeh it's just simply that bro. I'd be maybe be willing to pay a 1st and a prospect that is not Ritchie/Guly/Malinski. The best I'm willing to give up is Behrens or Olausson (I know he hasn't exactly come around yet, but he's looking better). Even then tho, idk.

As for RyJo, I don't view him as a cap dump (dude is on pace for 20 goals and 30+ points). There are teams that are willing to pay for that talent. I understand people viewing as a "cap dump" because of the salary tho. I would be willing to include a 5th but that's as high as I'd pay to loose a decent depth producers and probably a real 2C for another team.

Clearly don’t know Treliving then. He would 100% trade a first for a rental

If they go for a rental 2C, it's not going to come at the expense of a 1st or a good prospect like Ritchie or Gulyayev; the Avs just don't do things like that and they can't really afford to.
