- Buff36


Awaiting full deal, but hearing Tanev trade to Dallas will involve a second-round pick, a young prospect and a conditional pick.

2nd RD pick, conditional 3rd RD pick & Artem Grushnikov to Flames for Chris Tanev

Flames are retaining 50% of Tanev’s contract.

good haul for the flames

Grushnikov will probably be playing in the nhl in 2 years

Courtesy of Elite Prospects:

Grushnikov can act both as the supporting element in a defensive pairing, the element who glues himself to off-puck attackers and denies them passes, and the engager. He can use his body and skating to win the puck one-on-one, along the boards or in open ice, allowing his team to rapidly relaunch the attack -- something he can occasionally do himself through short passes

Retained 50% and still couldn’t get a first ?

I’m surprised.

At that rate Erik Johnson is forsure going for future considerations

Teams continue to value 2nd round picked defenseman from the past 3 to 4 drafts in trades like this.

Buffalo avoided selecting those until Strbak this past draft.

It continues to be an issue for them when attempting to make trades.

It's like they do not understand the value of position in terms of prospects in the trade market.

Eric Johnson is getting the Okposo and Girgensons treatment, if he wants to go, he will go and that's it.

They continue to not act like a real team.

Typical of them.

The Sabres have more than enough ammo to do whatever they want.

They just don’t want to splurge on a rental which to this point I’m ok with.

to be fair, from 2018 to 2021 the sabres took 4 dmen in the top 32 and 2 of them were picked first overall

I assume Calgary was asking for Benson + Savoie when Adams checked in because that’s how this works right?

Mitts has never touched what Brady has already done. Brady brings twice what Mitts adds right know.
- Buff36


I want what you are on. Holy cow. Committed to this whole Tkachuk thing.

Twice the player mitts is

Sens have 53 points. Excellent leader and locker room guy 😂😂

They stopped in 2020, and they shouldn't have.

Defense prospects are more valued league wide then forward prospects.

That gap in avoiding taking defense in the 2nd round is costing them, and may continue to do so unless one or both of their 5th/6th round picks really pan out.

He never checked in and he hasn't had any offers or made any offers.

At forward, they have ammo.

On defense, they do not, and every team is looking to bolster their defense prospect depth, including the Sabres.

They also traded a former 8th OA pick for Joker.

Even more baffling...

“Flames retain 50 percent on Tanev then the Devils further retain 50 percent on Tanev before he finally arrives in Dallas.
Fun!”

yup

the bigger issue IMO is dahlin, power, samuelsson and joker are not the players right now that we hoped they would be

And they don't have the defense prospect depth to include in trades either.

If they picked a defenseman instead of that goaltender, they'd have much more leverage in trades.

Player development.
