Bad value for the Sabres

Interesting. My initial reaction was I would probably ultimately accept if I'm the Flyers, but would feel better if I could extract additional draft capital (e.g., a 3rd round pick) in 2025 or 2026. As a thought exercise, if you start from the assumption that Farabee would be a good addition for the Sabres, what do you think is fair value? I don't think Ostlund plus a first round pick swap is crazy.

I wouldn't take Laughton even for free, pass.

I just don't think farabee has that kind of value in general. He's not worth trading back to 31/32 or ostlund by himself. Philly fans have very inflated values of their players for some reason. Laughton is bad and not worth trading for.

Every fan on this site - including you (and me) - inflates the value of its favorite team's players. Fans overvalue their favorite team's prospects even more so. From an outsider's perspective, the Sabres are in a really interesting place this offseason. They've been building for over a decade and they have a good young roster and a strong prospect pipeline, but they have nothing to show for any of it yet. They won't have room on the roster for all of their prospects and short term future picks. This feels like an inflection point for the organization to get aggressive and cash in some chips to achieve some actual on-ice results this season. The Flyers just make a lot of sense as a trade partner.

Here's where I fall on the prospect situation: the sabres should cash in and trade a few of their prospects, but they only should do that if they are getting fair value. They shouldn't just be trading them because they have a plethora of talent.

What’s the value and don’t say Konecny
