Because Peterka and Marner are not the same people. What are each player's motivations?

Depends. IF that $5.5MM they netted in cap space by only getting ~75-80% of what Peterka is worth gets used to really shake up the team would rather have that original deal the way it is. If (when) they hang on to that cap space like Scrooge McDuck holds onto a nickel, would absolutely 100% prefer this adder to the deal leaving them only a little over $2MM of wasted cap space.

Possibility vs. Probability.

You gonna be so mad The pick becomes a 2029 second-rounder if Toronto makes the playoffs this year and Maccelli gets at least 51 points through the 2025-26 season.

There is a plan. It's as well thought out as those who play Lotto to become millionaires. It's about as well executed as those who flip a coin at every intersection to figure out how to get where they are going. BUT!!! There is a plan.

FWIW….likely not much haha a rumor on X has Byram for Parayko, Bolduc, 3rd

At 19. Expecting one to be significanlty closer to his ceiling for that stat than the other.

Wow, they can only put together 1 more F line using F's than they could using G's. Wonder if any of the G's skate out for kicks. (No, not really, but it would be fun to see.)

But... what's the condition? Does it become a first if the Leafs make the playoffs (the Sabres wouldn't be able to do something like that)?

I actually think the issue with hockey and uppers is partially the schedule. These guys basically live in hotels for 6 months. I'm willing to get that if hockey halved their games (not saying in for it) there would be waaaaay less coke. I don't think the prevalence in the league is so much money related.

Just imagine if the Sabres Peterka trade is Peterka and a 3rd for Maccelli, Kesselring, and Doan. How much better do ppl feel today getting a guy 1yr removed from 55pts and 38a.

He's an interesting buy low candidate. 🤔 KA wouldn't know what that was. He's looking through last year's almost waiver wire for his top 6 upgrade.

Get your torches and get your pitchforks, we going to Keybank center.

I’ve long felt what will save the sabres is a specific type of ego. It’s literally the anti Kevyn Adams - who’s defining trait may be that he refused to ever claim the Drought we need an Ego, player, coach, executive, who wants to step in and fix it simply because they want the kudos of being the one to do it a real competitor. A man or woman who really wants a claim to fame

Macceli traded to Toronto, Marner replacement lol

It was kinda cool to get the signings before the actual clock started

He had the same rate for primary assists as JJP interestingly enough.

I see the same in Benson. The type of playmaking we are severely lacking (that blends into PP efficiency, too) that no amount of proficiency of passing on our top D pair can make up for. It’s always about depth. We don’t have enough playmaking. I don’t think we have close to enough

Not a thing anymore

When does the "Legal Tampering" period start?

No- not better.

btw, if someone, anyone, wants to come in and look at assists lost with the moves and make that argument, that could be something to think about.

I have some great news for you then

Adams perks up... then slumps back in his chair... mumbles "we don't have a 2nd in 2026 to trade for him"

You don’t think that our GM is aware of the contract range that the player will be seeking? Do you not have a basic understanding of the financial limitations the owner has placed on the GM? If you don’t believe that then what has been going on for the past number of years? If you believe that there is more than 1%chance of this player coming here when he has options then your world of reality is not the same as mine.
