I can assure you that the sabres aren't trading UPL, especially not for essentially nothing.

Buddy thinks 8 foot tall starter tendies grow on trees

I like Bastian but he isn't anything the Avs need right now.

UPL ain't available - not for picks anyways.

UPL has had a good year. I don’t see an impetus for Buffalo to move him.

Amadio, with his AAV, is probably someone Vegas keeps.

But generally…the small ball approach is probably right. I think Fitzy will try to find some underused or underappreciated players (like Siegenthaler trade).

Bc of the Sabres Goaltending situation,
I don’t think we’d even trade UPL for a 1st

I’m not saying he’s untouchable,
but we aren’t gonna trade him either
