<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>He is an rfa so a 2nd and a prospect is fair if he was a ufa teams would just wait till his contract was over. No team at the deadline will give a 1st for him asthrough his time in buffalo teams caused his struggles during play. The free agency market has better options who won't cost them firsts. Montour has no term and buffalo will have no leverage to ask for a 1st. Overall montours value has droped he ain't worth a 1st anymore and if u can't accept that then I'm sorry but prepare for disapointment cause it's just strait up facts. Through statistics, numbers, etc everyone but u agrees he is worth a 2nd and a prospect or a third line center whose ok. Anyways u can keep saying he is worth a first but I am done explaining to you that he isn't</div></div>

You haven't explained anything. You used fantasy value to determine a player's value lmao. When you do that I can't take anything you say seriously. You had literal trades that happened recently where a d-man of Montour's caliber got traded for a first. But you can't fathom that he's worth a late 1st. Jeez you're making my brain hurt.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>He really isn't lul I have talked to many Buffalo fans and they agreed a 2nd and a prospect is his current worth as he will need to be signed and nobody will pay a 1st for an rfa with no term. No team will trade a 1st for him a 2nd and a prospect is buffalos best grab. Skeji was aquired as pecse and Hamilton were both injured. Carolina had 2 first so they used one. Sure it was an overpayment but it helps there defensive depth. Overall, overpaying for skeji actually works out well for them. He adds depth to that core and his contract works well for them as they got money. Plus if he does not work out Seattle can take him.</div></div>

There are Buffalo fans that think we should trade Eichel and that Risto is only worth a 5th round pick. That doesn't mean anything that you talked to a few fans. A contending team would easily give up a late 1st for Montour. Every year teams give up 1sts for dmen like him. Only way his value would be a 2nd + prospect is if he was a UFA the next year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I use it for base comparisons and trust me montours value has dropped. a very late 2nd to 3rd rounder would probs get him. johnsson and a 4th could probs be qwhat the leafs value as fair for him on his current value</div></div>

Using fantasy value to determine a player's value in real life makes no sense, especially for a guy like Montour that missed 15 games. Defenceman don't even come close to the fantasy output of forwards.

Sandin has less value than Wayne Simmonds, you guys would probably have to add more in a trade? See how ridiculous this is? <a href="https://www.fantasysp.com/trade/nhl/14516227/sandin-simmonds" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.fantasysp.com/trade/nhl/14516227/sandin-simmonds</a>

A very late 2nd would definitely not get Montour. Botts traded a late 1st and prospect for the guy. A late 2nd / early 3rd isn't even close to fair value.

Why are you using fantasy hockey value lmao? How many fantasy points they can rack up doesn't mean anything.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Facebookfighter</b></div><div>I think Jack's a big boy. I think what's pissing off Jack the most is losing? They're still on the same team. It's not like their friendship evaporates because he gets bumbed down a line. Think he can understand carrying two wingers and leaving Skinner and Reinhart to work a combo because leaving Skinner to dry has worked really well.

And these are low risk. Samuelson, Thompson and a 2nd are your top assets being moved? If you think those are immoveable you've lost it.

And Florida traded him to the Hurricanes a team that's fighting for a wild card spot? There's not much difference. Other than you would need to overpay.

If you need to get somebody you're going to overpay unless the other GM is stupid.</div></div>

I don't think their friendship is going to evaporate lmao. It's more on the lines of don't fix what isn't broken. We know Eichel and Reinhart work well together. Why mess that up? I'm not entirely opposed to trying out Reinhart there for a little bit, but relying on him to become a 2C and not acquiring one doesn't seem smart to me.

No they're certainly not immovable, but those are the top prospects we have at our weak points. Samuelsson is our most promising defensive minded d-man (which we don't have enough of), Pekar &amp; Thompson are promising wingers, and Davidsson at C. I'm fine moving one of them, but certainly not all of them.

Florida's only shot at making the playoffs is taking Toronto's spot, which we were gunning for too. And it's not only this year but next year too, since Trocheck has term. You're right we'd have to majorly overpay.

I was more thinking Strome from the Hawks but I like Strome from the Rangers too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Facebookfighter</b></div><div>I think Jack would prefer winning as opposed to being buddy buddy. This might not make them win but you're increasing your odds of success. The odds a team is willing to part with a 2C is rare. Trocheck was the chance but they didn't get him. Being scared of change is what causes complacency</div></div>

I think you wouldn't want to piss off your top 2 players. Moving Sam to 2C might be worse for him and Jack. Florida was never going to trade Trocheck here since we're in the same division, and at the time we were competing with each other for a playoff spot.

I don't think we need a top tier 2C, just a guy that could hold the spot until Cozens is ready for it. Plenty of guys we could target in the off season. Whether it be a young guy like Strome or older guys like Stepan / Henrique.

The issue isn't anybody being scared of change. It's about making smart changes. Dumb changes is what got us into this mess.
