I think u have this confused with something/someone else

Kempe signed a 3year deal in 2019, that ends AFTER next season
He & the Kings weren’t allowed to talk extension this past season
It can only happen AFTER this season is officially over
- jdfitz77

Arthur Stanovich talked about it and there were articles from the Hockey Writers about it, the contract might be wrong.

From 4 pieces to 2! Come on man!
- Gr8daygo

Those are two premium pieces. Unless its Zegras, a 1st ++ I don't know how you're going to do better.

Byfield would be a Home run

I want alex turcotte also he's like matty beniers but i see him as a 2nd -3rd line center but would absolutely love him

Then you don't need Beniers. You can take Power.

- Powerslave

Yep

Yet you are claiming that Power is a defacto Norris Dman.

Looking good against 3rd liners and 3rd pairings isn't worthy of such absolute lofty claims.

It is impressive at 18 to play well no doubt...kinda like Byfield impressing in the AHL at 18 and referring to him as a bust.

Weird takes.
- IonSabres

So now AHLers are NHLers? Matt Ellis should be in the hall of Fame then.


I said hes closer than the other d-men in the draft I didn't say hes a defacto Norris.

Byfield didn't even impress in the AHL so take another lap.

I know, it's mutual. This is asset management and a massive gamble. You really want to get rid of your franchise player because of a medical disagreement? Or do they simply not like him enough to say whatever, go somewhere else, we'll move on with whoever comes back in a trade because we don't want you around. Has it really come to that?
- TheSabresTaco

Yes!!

Yep
- Buff36

Cozens
Dahlin
Mitts (remember when we wrote him off?)
Quinn
UPL
Byfield
Turcotte
Power
Peterka


Let's get this party started.

- Powerslave

Yes thats true

So what would be wrong with Elvis, Foudy and a possible pick
- Buff36

I don't think Columbus is a good trade partner, but if we're using them, I think something like this:

Reinhart + Laaksonen for Foudy, Merzlikins, Boone Jenner, Tampa's 2021 1st round pick.

Cozens
Dahlin
Mitts (remember when we wrote him off?)
Quinn
UPL
Zegras
Eklund
Power
Peterka


Let's get this party started.
- Powerslave

Fixed for the better

Fixed for the better
- DirtyDan

Lol.

Id be more than happy w that, too!

Vincent Trocheck, Ryan Suzuki, the rights to Jack LaFontaine and a 1st

For Jack Eichel

Lol.

Id be more than happy w that, too!
- Powerslave

And if you wanna get real serious. Guenther at 5 for Reinhart and then you have 2 nasty wingers in Eklund and Guenther

And after we select 1 3 and 5. We'll get another top guy next year cause we stink.

Eichel
for
Byfield
Kaiylev (or however you freaking spell it)
2021 1st
Quick and Maata

I want to say it's ominous that a medical decision hasn't been released publicly yet and that a decision should have happened by now. They've had months to figure this out. The Sabres holding him back from getting this thing fixed is eating into his time to prepare for next season.

You really feel it's 100% chance he gone?
- TheSabresTaco

I do but who the hell really knows.

Everything is lining up though with what my buddy (who personally knows most of the players, and works for the owners) has said.

Jack was absolutely done if things didn’t get better AKA were in the playoffs this past year

Cozens
Dahlin
Mitts (remember when we wrote him off?)
Quinn
UPL
Byfield
Turcotte
Power
Peterka


Let's get this party started.
- Powerslave

How about McTavish or Guenther added with that 8th pick

I don’t need to get cute. Take Byfield and #8 overall and move on. Your gonna get a good player there too. Lysell, guenther, Clarke. And with Byfield and 10 million in cap savings that’s well worth it
- Fattony1187

That’s not enough imo
Especially if we are taking Cap back from them

Arthur Stanovich talked about it and there were articles from the Hockey Writers about it, the contract might be wrong.
- Buff36

I’m going by what CapFriendly says
They’re usually pretty accurate

I know, it's mutual. This is asset management and a massive gamble. You really want to get rid of your franchise player because of a medical disagreement? Or do they simply not like him enough to say whatever, go somewhere else, we'll move on with whoever comes back in a trade because we don't want you around. Has it really come to that?
- TheSabresTaco

Bottom line for you and everyone reading: They're sick of his poop and he's sick of theirs.

It's an untenable situation and he's absolutely using his medical situation as leverage to get out of Buffalo ASAP.

Nope.
Get Byfield.
I want no part of Kaliyev..an exciting player when he wants to play...but his compete is lacking in consistency.
There's 8 good players available in 2021 draft.
- IonSabres

For what it's worth
Kaliyev is rated higher than byfield according to button

So now AHLers are NHLers? Matt Ellis should be in the hall of Fame then.


I said hes closer than the other d-men in the draft I didn't say hes a defacto Norris.

Byfield didn't even impress in the AHL so take another lap.
- DirtyDan

Byfield did look pretty good in the AHL though

Vincent Trocheck, Ryan Suzuki, the rights to Jack LaFontaine and a 1st

For Jack Eichel
- BINGO!

Then you don't need Beniers. You can take Power.
- Powerslave

Why limit your thinking and approach like that?

Vincent Trocheck, Ryan Suzuki, the rights to Jack LaFontaine and a 1st

For Jack Eichel
- BINGO!

😂😂😂😂😂

Not close
And if we are trading Eichel, then it’s another rebuild
Which means no interest in Trocheck
