Quoting: DrDuck
15 points in 73 games (only 23 years). How do you expect him to unlock how to Buffalo behind Thompson and Cozens? I think he would be more likely to do it in Montreal in a complementary role to Suzuki and Slafkovsky (less responsibility than in the center). He is a player known for his excellent skating.
Ok…. but why in earth would we give him up for a 3rd pair RD
Clifton is already locked into that role,
and Barron is absolutely not a 2nd pair guy
There’s ZERO POINT to doing this trade from the Sabres perspective
Also, Mittelstadt was quite effective as a 3C for us
Not that he’s gone, why wouldn’t we give Krebs some time there to see what happens ?
Trades gotta work for both teams
And again, this just doesn’t make sense for Buffalo at all
