I traded Hutton, rights to Laurence Pilut and Okposo for Jack Johnson, Bjugstad and Murray in the Penguins thread.

Nothing retained on Okposo.

New trash for old trash. This trash is cheaper and 2 of them end sooner

Yup.

I'd pretty much guarantee the Mojo contract would be the winning bid for either of them

- jcragcrumple


I wonder if we trade him

His week ponit I could see him as Jordan Staal

- GERBE!!!75PTS

I interpreted the original question to be Lundell in his prime.

I'm serious. I'm losing nothing of value and decreasing my worst contract from $6m to 3.25 at the same length. The others are 1 year deals.

It's nothing but a win

Dave Poulin in his prime for the old folks

Kesler in his prime for the younger people

One NHL player in that entire deal is useful, and that is Okposo.

None of the rest are.

You would need to literally scratch Johnson every game, he is that bad.

It would be the same as having an additional $3.25M in bonus overages for the next 3 seasons, and no player to show for it.

Horrible.

So waive JJ for the $1.1m cap savings. $2.6 dead cap leaves you $3.4 in savings to find a more useful forward than Okposo. I just replaced Okposo with Soderberg without eating into the Sabres existing cap and lost nothing. Soderberg and Bjugstad for the year. It's fine

Do u see Lundell as a 2C or a 3C ?
- jdfitz77


I would hope Cozens develops into a 2C and therefore Lundel, if selected would be a 3C.with 2C potential ...meaning he becomes trade bait in say 4 or 5 years if he pushes for 2C and Cozens is just too good to push out.

Cozens and Lundell can be 2A/2B

Then you say goodbye to Skinner, Olofsson, Reinhart, Kahun in a few years and just continue to rotate cheaper wingers.

Avs gave up a 2nd, 3rd, and a 4th for Burakovsky and Namnitsnikov. I’m sure Buffalo could do that too eventually.

“I think FA-to-be Erik Haula will have a fair share of interest. I’ve heard him linked to the #Sabres in a couple conversations with an Eastern Conference source”

I would rather that than giving up 8th OA for Monahan as long as the dollars and term are not outrageous

- Pegullaville



Yup, I would not be trading 8-OA.
Unless the 1st 11 picks are off the board at 8...lol!

I think what youre really asking is whether this trade approaches anything remotely connected to what will happen in reality, to which I would say: of course not.
