The price on McDonagh probably means Jeff Petry could be had for a similar deal.

He’d be a great RD mentor/partner for Power or Dahlin.

Throw one of the 2023 2nds and Bryson at Montreal and see if they bite

I think Petry has a 15 team list. Decent chance the Sabres are on it.

Good read, enjoyed it.
Put together a good draft this year, that could be 4 solid drafts in 5 years.

Petry isn't really a Defensive Dman, why would he be a good partner.

I don’t think you need a defensive D man with Power.

Power is great in the O zone. Petry is good at getting the puck there

Based on how modern day defense is played combined with the style Meatballs has the defense playing and what Adams seem to think about how the defense should play, we might need to retire the old way of thinking that a defenseman with strong offensive tendencies needs a stay at home defenseman as the best partner.

What even is a stay at home defenseman anymore?

Petry is not a “stay at home” defenseman at all
He’s an ok offensive defenseman who isn’t very good at all in his own end

And what's your point, he's not them. You like him I don't, that's fine. Never know unless you try.

My point is the more you handle the puck the more you give it away.

Sure, or it was just bad passing. Hey if people think he will help, all for it. But if I get Petry of last year, rather have Joker there.

A wise coach would once said your best players should leave the team in giveaways, because that means the puck is on his stick in the first place. Where it should be.

It may turn out the Sabres playing him injured for weeks saved them a ton of money. Until we have proof Quinn and Peterka can score in the NHL getting rid of Vic when we have no reason to is a fool's game. The guy can score goals in the NHL on a line with always hurt Mitts and Selke Larry. That shouldn't be taken lightly. And, for Christ sake, the guy worked up from a 7th round pick. That deserves respect from the organization he did that with.

I actually think that injury was a blessing, his 5vs5 game improved.
