<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Funksoljah</b></div><div>Pretty certain Jersey is set at center, so Krebs might not be of interest to them unless they think he can be an asset on the wing. They are also looking to win now however, and Bratt helps them do that much more effectively than Krebs and a pick do.

Colorado could potentially move Girard if the right deal came along. My guess is they want a proven center however, not a winger. Asplund can play center but he has had very limited time there, and while Sabres fans love his game he's probably not a centerpiece of a deal for a proven top 4D.</div></div>

Yeah for bratt I mean what team is giving up a better player to get bratt in return? Likely gonna be prospect and pick driven I would say, krebs looking more like a winger. Asplund is an extremely cheap option for the avs and they can flip the 2nd at the deadline for another player if they need with the cap space they have

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>I would argue that with a Dahlin, Thompson, and Connor firing on all cylinders... Buffalo becomes a damn attractive market. Don't forget that you will have to PAY Dahlin, Power, Thompson, Cozens huge money to keep them all and it won't leave much money on the wings.

Fair play on Stamkos winning when he's older.

Here are a few scouting reports comparing him to Byfuglien written by smarter hockey people than me:

I mean sure that makes it competitive but I still think that trio is well behind colorado, tampa, toronto, florida, edmonton etc. I mean just from what I have watched, he is much more composed than buff and is not as flashy in terms of physicality or offensively, Him and dahlin will be a duo who can play roughly 50 mins of each hockey game in the future

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>If I disagree with your understanding of the situation, it must be because I know nothing about the prospect pool? It sounds like you're saying they've already drafted everyone they need to in order to compete and wait for them to be competitive. I am advocating trading ONE of those plethora of prospects to be competitive now.

I am not denying the eventual dominance of Savoie or Levi. But I think TT is 28 by the time those guys are ready to make an impact and probably 27 by the time Power is. Okposo &amp; Skinner will be long gone.

Why is it a problem to do both? Develop Levi &amp; Savoie and the others but trade one player to compete now if you can? Owen Power is nice, but he's not exactly Bobby Orr. He's more like Dustin Byfuglien with better skating.

This team will finish middle of the pack this year which is the absolute worst thing for any team.</div></div>

How old were stamkos, hedman etc when they won their first cup? Tage being 28 is fine lol. I cant think of a more opposite comp for power than buff, the guy has played literally 9 games and his underlyings were among the top of the team as well as scored twice lol. Also ranked by multiple sources as the number 1 prospect in the nhl. And no middle of the pack is bad when your prospect pool sucks such as the islanders or sharks who have no direction. Growth this year and finishing 13th last is fine in my books. Grabbing ready players now who have the potential to leave in a couple years just blocks spots for the young guy such as conner taking quinns spot in line up and powerplay. Not saying quinn is as good as conner but it is kind of dumb especially from an undesirable market such as buffalo to lose players who you have team control of for 6-7 years for players who will choose to leave in 2 years in ufa for example.

Yes but you have indicated they have stuck in a perpetual rebuild which isnt actually true. Has been like 3 new gms who have their own vision and never stick to a plan, such as trading high picks for montour, miller, etc. If they see this through it will be the first actual rebuild. You truly know nothing about the prospect pool, levi won the best goalie in college hockey with a 950 save percentage, quinn won rookie of the year in the ahl, savoie is a top 3 talent in this years draft, not to mention many more. Why would they want to compete at this current moment when they are in a division where the top 3 is already a lock even if this trade was made they are still unlikely to win. Play it out for a couple more years, get your players signed to team friendly deals, make a few swings in FA where it costs you nothing especially a 19 years old 6 foot 6 dman who is extremely rare.
