<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>At the rate they have performed they'd be looking at Owen Tippett money long term. If they bet on themselves for a two year bridge they can be looking at Jeff Skinner money.

I agree on Levi but it would be better for him and the Sabres if UPL is playing 3/4 really well to have Levi play more games in the AHL. I love Levi, he just would benefit from time in my opinion.</div></div>

There are not any other Sabre ACGM's that understand team building as well as you.
Very insightful.
As you correctly addressed cap is not an issue for the Sabres.

Over Luukkonen's last 9 games the Sabres have scored 20 goals.
In the four games he lost, they scored 4 while he only surrendered 8.
He is the real deal.

Thanks for the laugh. That was a good one

Sorry “homer”
But he’s not getting a 1st- that’s HILARIOUS !
I can see why EDM wouldn’t wanna move him,
but NO ONE would pay that price</div></div>

The cost of a rental #3C at last year's deadline was in the neighbourhood of a second round pick: all of Domi, Eller, and Granlund fetched equivalent returns to that set price. McLeod has term, is younger, and expires with club control at the end of his current deal. Likewise, he's showing growing utility as a forechecking LW and has frequented Edmonton's second line this season.

Depending on the team in question, two second round picks may hold more intrinsic value than a late first round pick. It's absolutely not an unreasonable ask. Even if you think the idea of trading a first for McLeod is stupid, why should Edmonton take anything less than half of what Tanner Jeannot was sold to the Lightning for? The league has set precedence with these young cost-controlled RFA's.

Instead of being quick to label someone as a homer, maybe take a second to think about why they've presented an argument as they have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>It's a good offer but I think Buffalo will re-sign Mitts.
They'll definitely choose Willander over Lekkerimakki though.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danny_Canuck</b></div><div>What about swapping Hunter Brzustewicz with Lekkerimaki? Think Willander is untouchable.</div></div>

Buffalo would certainly prefer Brzustewicz over Lekkerimaki. Willander would be the best but he probably is as untouchable as Benson, Kulich or Savoie are to the Sabres.
If offered Buffalo should make this trade now to see if Granato could resurrect Andrei Kuzmenko, so he could be flipped at the TDL.
Buffalo's and Vancouver's first are trade chips for top defense first RHD and Lekkerimaki could be considered Buffalo 2024 1st round plck.
