Sujet: TDL - One Move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A2023tdlGuesses</b></div><div>Berglund had a no trade, but paperwork error gave gm doug Armstrong a TINY window to move him, and he did, with Sobotka, a 1st, and Tage (iirc) for ory.

Berglund was so distraught he quit playing hockey. He literally just quit. There is no other 2nd/3rd line nhl center I’ve ever heard of who just quit.

This is was a bad choice by Doug Armstrong. It may have won his team the cup in Orielly earning a conn smythe, but he did the wrong thing.

Rich ppl (I’m implying owners) don’t forget this.

That being said, Berglund prob got too comfy. But still. Buf was sold bad goods.

Nobody, you, me, them, goes back to a vendor who sold them bad goods. There’s other vendors for things. We specifically do not get burned twice. We touch the fire and then stop touching it.

This is a life lesson for everybody. If you sell bad goods, you may win, but you will ultimately be burned. Doug Armstrong will eventually be fired, not because he’s bad, but because there are only 31 partners, and he set one on fire. Nobody else is blind. They do not want to be sold bad **** either.</div></div>

Okay this isn't Walmart man...GMs go back to the same trade partners over and over again. One weird situation isnt going to sour them for the rest of existence. If they have what you want and are willing to play ball, play ball.

Don't be silly lol

Probably one of the best Koneckny offers I've seen.

Pretty fair value, however isn;t portillo looking at UFA? Aren;t his rights expiring and hes told the team hes going to UFA (ala RJ Umberger?) Its also maybe not the position they need. Hart, Sandstrom, Errson have all shown good game this year and are all young (Fedotov got held in Russia), so maybe Portillo doesn;t add much.

And maybe slightly worrying about the return is that every BUF fan seems to be moving LD Ryan Johnson (and PHI has Provorov, Sanheim, York, Zamula, Seeler, Hogberg, Ginning at LD already, which lessens how PHI sees Johnson) in trades and Mittelstadt is hard to analyze, as hes had some ups/downs and injuries and his expiring 2.5mil RFA status probably means you're overpaying to see if he can continue to be good.

Overall alot of good in that trade, and maybe one of the best value deals for Koneckny, but the prospects/player all have a bit of a caveat about them or some play positions NOT in need in PHI.

First, There may be UFA D-Men who would sign with Buffalo and we can keep Olofsson's 30 goals.
Second, it would be great is the Sabres could sign all of the UFA's and RFA's to those contracts.
Cozens, Dylan 8 $7,250,000 Considering Tage's contract this could be the right number. Many Sabre ACGM's think it will take more.
Jost, Tyson 1 $1,000,000 He has certainly pumped some energy into Casey. The only goals from yesterday came from that line. Buffalo may give him more if Casey and Victor continue playing well. For example that line has 25 pts in the last 14 games (145 over 82 games).
Asplund, Rasmus 1 $950,000 Sure he has not progressed this year.
Clague, Kale 1 $850,000 He has performed really well, he was a great signing.
Wood, Miles 4 $3,500,000 I wonder if he has the same passion for the Sabres that Tuch has demonstrated. If so this would be nice.
Okposo, Kyle 1 $1,500,000 He may accept as he has become a Buffalonian since signing with the Sabres.
Girgensons, Zemgus 1 $1,250,000 It may cost a bit more, other GM's know what he can do.

Your guesses are as good as any one.
Let's see how well you do next July.
Over all a very nice job.
