Nearly $5,000,000 for Perron, You obviously haven't watched him play this past season, Dude can hardly skate anymore. he's definitely not a top 6 player anymore. he's basically worthless other than the PP but okay if you insist on over paying him by at least $3,000,000.

Sabres might be interested
But the 3rd & his Cap hit might be a bit high for us

I can't think of a single reason TO would do that trade

add another second and toronto accepts

30 leafs fans trade us those same guys every single day. it makes me want to fly to pittsburgh just to jump into the allegheny river.

just depends on how much you value his intangibles and off ice traits (veteran presence, championship pedigree, the whole "this is what championship teams do" shtick). very reliable player, chips in just enough offense. also everytime he has the puck in the offensive zone he will try to cut his way to the slot regardless of whether or not its a good idea (which gets to be more or less amusing and kinda funny after you see it enough).

He’s a 4C
He doesn’t have much value, and they plenty of other choices who are comparable players

You are not dumoing Rakell contract that easily

SJ will take Smith and Rakell plus a 1st and a 2nd for FC. you clear 10M in cap space

yes, a thousand game, 200 ft player, stanley cup champion, doesnt have much value. great evaluation. i always appreciate it when ppl use different words to tell me they just dont get it. that is medieval thinking that has kept the sabres out of the playoffs for the better part of a decade.

if it isnt eller, it needs to be someone else because that team needs a veteran in the locker room.

And we don’t have to pay that Cap hit or a 3rd + to get them
Wow
It’s not rocket science
