Ullmark wasn’t up full time until he was 26

Cal Peterson 26 full time with the kings

Ryan Miller was 25 in ‘05-‘06,
when he split time with Biron for much of the season

Multiple sources have told Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman that Tampa Bay is working with Ryan McDonagh to find a potential trade fit.
It is a tough decision for the Lightning because McDonagh has been such an important player for the team since his arrival. He has been superb during Tampa Bay's three straight appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. Tampa Bay wants to bring back some key pending UFAs, including Ondrej Palat and Nick Paul, so some tough calls need to be made to shed some salary. McDonagh still has four seasons left on his current contract that includes a full no-trade clause and a cap hit of $6.75 million, so he has plenty of control over the situation.

Good player, but 33 years old & Left Handed
Not the best “fit” for us

But if he’d actually come here (i doubt he would),
I’d take him off their hands for cheap

“ Jesse Puljujarvi has very likely played his last game as an Edmonton Oiler.
Both he and the team are ready to part ways, and he is being actively shopped.
Story here:”

Per Mark Spector

Sabres better be in on it

- sbroads24


Meh
They’re gonna want a good young player for him I’d think
And idk that Puljujarvi is any better than Mitts

Wanting and getting are two different things. If he doesn’t want to play there and hasn’t proven anything they might not have much of a choice but to take a 2nd for him

They don’t have to trade him though either

I don’t think much of the player
If we get him cheap, then fine i guess

But idk that we should prefer him over anyone in our projected top9 for next year

His possession and shot quality numbers far exceed nearly 2/3 of the Sabres top 9. Obviously, given their position, I would not overpay, but this is a classic buy low opportunity that carries far more potential reward than risk.

Trade Johnson for him. They can take gamble he signs, and for us, Jesse P worth a gamble with a late 2023 2nd we would get if we keep him and he doesn’t sign here

Well I am basically thinking Vegas's pick could be at the end of the 2nd, so basically a 3rd.
