Sujet: Graviteh Trades for Timo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>That is too rich for me as a sabres fan. It is also far far more than you are asking from the leafs

Sneaky with Neuchev.</div></div>

I know re: the Leafs. I don't think it makes sense for Toronto given their cap issues, as it would effectively make Timo a rental. Getting Knies would be good but I don't think Dubas will want to part with hiim just yet.

As great as it would be get the haul proposed, the Devils would probably be giving up too much for this trade to work. I'm also not sure how willing they'd be to pay for Timo's extension given Bratt will also be out of contract as a RFA, but there's probably an adjusted package to make this work. Perhaps...
- NJ gets: Timo
- SJ gets: Holtz, Sharangovich, Blackwood, lottery-protected 1st, 2024 3rd (for Blackwood cap dump)

For the Sabres, I think they're the best fit for Timo but I could work with a different package. Was thinking of:
- Buffalo gets: Timo, Megna
- SJ gets: Neuchev, Levi, lottery protected 1st, 5th (for Megna)

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Jonathan Huberdeau (8 Years / $10,500,000 AAV)
I'm torn on this. For an elite playmaker who was a Hart finalist last season, the AAV for Huberdeau is fantastic. He's going to be a good engine for a lot of Calgary's play during their window, and his playstyle will means he doesn't need to rely on physical attributes that would decline with age such as speed.

8 years is a really long for term though, and long-term can hinder the ability to add assets to keep a window open (as my team learned the hard way... please don't remind me of Pickles or EK65). Moreover, the contract is effectively buyout proof until the final year when he's 38 and jury's still out on how he'd fit in with Daryl Sutter's tactics.

I will lean to a cautious Yes on whether this contract is good especially given the Flames' need to keep stars and get assets for Tkachuk, but I can see why others think this is a bad deal.
