Sujet: If they do nothing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Untuxed</b></div><div>Do you mean buyers at the deadline? I think they have a reasonable shot of making the playoffs.</div></div> Sellers to make room for Kulich, Savoie, Benson, Johnson.
There were <strong>12 first round picks</strong> traded near or on the TDL.
Two teams missed the playoffs, 5 teams were bounced in the first round, 4 teams in the second round (Boston traded two first round picks therefore only 11 teams).
<strong>Vegas</strong> made modest moves and traded prospects and a couple of picks, 3rd and 7th.
<strong>Florida</strong> essentially did nothing.
If Olofsson has close to 20 goals, Mittelstadt has nearly 40 pts and Lyubushkin is playing well they would all have value to teams looking to add offense or a RHD.
I am not trading the above players because they are bad, but rather they are good and Buffalo should receive great returns.
They are traded also to bring in two or three players on their ELC so Buffalo has cap space (trading those three and replacing them with ELC will add nearly $7,000,000 of space) to sign current members of the Sabres.

Over the past 7 years Buffalo has drafted really well, they should continue to collect first round picks to continue the making of a dynasty.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Untuxed</b></div><div>Yeah this is my feeling as well, you're probably looking at less than the Eichel package a few years ago. That package was an NHL roster player (Tuch), NHL ready A prospect (Krebs), protected 1st round pick, and a conditional second for Eichel and a 3rd round pick. Karlsson is older and more expensive than Eichel was so realistically it will probably be a NHL roster player, a prospect, and a first for Karlsson with retention and a pick.</div></div>

It's not even a remotely close comparison. This package is useless trash for Grier. He might as well not make this trade. It's not worth the retained salary. I say that as a PIT fan. Tuch is a useful player that was worth at least a 3rd round pick. More now. Carter is a liability that should be LTIRetired. He would require a pick to trade. Krebs is 1st round high ceiling player. Poulin is a low ceiling player that has floundered in the AHL. Nylander is a 4th liner/AHLer tweener. Rutta is a serviceable bottom pairing dman. Might be worth a mid round pick.
