<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>OK, how about something that actually helps the Sabres? The Sabres will send Olofsson and retain half his contract, and they’ll include a draft pick if they have to, to get Borgen back. If that deal goes through you can ignore the other two. They aren’t really good for Buffalo anyway.</div></div>

Can't see how these deals would not be good for Buffalo. Anderson would be almost the ideal partner for Power and Buffalo's system. He is on a great contract for 3 years and Markstrom provides insurance in case Levi cannot handle the full work load. Martinez is a great veteran presence to add on the third pair that can elevate into the top 4 if there are injuries and should be able to handle that without getting run over

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>He has been pretty steady the last Couple Years, and yes his game could fall, just like anyone else. He won't be getting the PP minutes in Buffalo so that should help in that aspect. And yes his Cap hit could hurt in 24-25, but the Sabres also have a very good chance of having atleast 6 guys on ELC's or 1st contracts that year. Plus if the bonus is paid Pegula will actually be paying him almost 2mill under his Cap hit for the last 2yrs. Like I have stated not my 1st choice and would only do this around FA when I know what my D situation is. If things haven't fallen the way we hoped and we weren't able to land something we wanted. Then this wouldn't be a bad backup option short term.</div></div>

1.5 under his cap number on average 1.75 and 1.25 respectively. I don't think with the building likely being full in the next couple of years their will be the same kind of squeeze on actual cash being paid out anymore, but obviously the cap number is fixed each year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>OK, then Petry is better there, his Fenwick and Corsi are better and so is his PDO. He's not my 1st choice, but if it comes to a short term fix, he's free in this scenario with decent numbers.</div></div>

He's not free. He has a significant cap number and is at a point age wise where his game could easily fall off a cliff at any point. The cap hit likely would be no issue 23-24, but 24-25 when new deals are on the cap for <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>OK, then Petry is better there, his Fenwick and Corsi are better and so is his PDO.

Petry is better but not free. He has a significant cap number and very possibly could have his game fall off a cliff at any point at his age especially if he is logging top 4 minutes. His cap number would not likely be an issue in 23-24, but in 24-25 when Power, Dahlin, Mitts, and Krebs will all be under new deals that # could really be a problem

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>Joker doesn't bring half the blocked shots or even half the hits Petry would bring. Joker is very inconsistent to me, will look great for a few games but then plays like crap for a bunch. Going down to 3rd pair and steadying his game playing 16m instead on 22 will help him. Hell maybe in a year he steady's his game and becomes the 22-23min muncher, but he's not ready for it yet.</div></div>

Believe me I am no fan of Hank, but as you can tell I am no fan of Petry either. Hits don't matter to me nor do blocked shots that much either. I prefer someone who is better at simply preventing the other team from getting shots off. Preventing zone entries and excelling at zone exits and maintaining puck possession

Sujet: Making Trades with BUF
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>I think we’re both biased and perhaps over value our own players. This proposal really comes down to needs and I see BUF Fans looking to turf Olofsson &amp; Luukkonen on here all the time to make room for the next guys

BUF could use a Big Physical 3LD since Stillman isn’t that good. BUF Fans are always calling for help at RD, so DeSimone might offer something. He had a great year for the Wranglers. Vladar is far better and starter ready than I think you want to give him credit for

As for Krebs, he’s no better than Ruzicka and the other two guys are just replacement players for our prospect pipeline in exchange for better prospects.

You’d be getting a recent 3rd Round Picked Russian Centre (ps Centres typically play all 3 forward positions) and a Huge Czech Right Shot RW, something you don’t have and need. Besides that, both would be a great fits with/for the rest of your Russian &amp; Czech Prospects

Both Trades are closer and fit each Team’s needs better than you think, but we can always agree to disagree if you want</div></div>

Sabres already have top 3 centers in place with Tage, Cozens, and Middlestadt. RFA in Jost who will likely be back.Prospects coming in Kulich, Savoie, and Oustlund, who are all playing center and all progressing quite nicely. Also Stillman played quite well for the Sabres down the stretch. He is clearly a 3rd pair or 7th defenseman on a strong team and does not have upward mobility but none of these players from Calgary add to Buffalos need for a top 4 veteran defense oriented right D

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>You are comparing Garland to Anderson because they are wingers?! Need I say more?!
Teams value Anderson's body type and speed. These arent nobodies saying that Anderson is worth a 1st plus an A prospect. This is Pierre Lebrun and Frank Seravelli. The same ppl that nailed the Chiarot price last season among others. I'm not being close to ridiculous or 'wild' if anything this price is low

You need to actually digest what I'm saying before responding. There is a clear disconnect.

The guy that will prevent the Devils from retaining those yougn pieces is Timo Meier with a 10M qualifying offer. Believe it or not Anderson's cost certainty is worth something, Seravelli has said this over and over. Meier's contract talks aren't something teams cherish.</div></div>

I guess a first, young roster player, and a prospect were not enough for Hughes. Anderson must to be to important of a piece on the rebuild to let go of
