I don't love the trade. I don't totally hate it either. Would I redo it as in try something different, probably, yes. I would rather have seen Peterka traded for a sure thing and I don't think that is what this trade is.
Hopefully a Byram trade is different.
Feel the same exact way. Hate that it took moving a 23 year old Top 6 forward in Peterka to get a RHD who is big and physical. Or maybe that is a reflection of the price of such talent, RHD's with these traits are not super easy to come by.
I think the true assessment of moving Peterka can be made July 26th, not June 26th. Let's see what the Sabres do next.

I would agree JohnC but my thought is this:
Dahlin and Thompson are not going anywhere.
EVERYONE else IMO 'could' be available for the right package.
Afraid to deal Tuch? Remember when Florida dealt for Tkachuk and they traded a 100 point winger as part of that deal and Florida was ripped for it? Sabres can't be afraid right now. Be bold. Aggressive. And have the right plan to truly build a winner here.
Example: I may catch flak for this, but if Jason Robertson was every truly available (highly doubt it now) but I would not be afraid to include Tuch.
Players like Robertson do not grow on trees.

Why does everyone want to throw Power away like he is a piece of garbage?
I would agree with this. Power is far from a finished product. My biggest issue was paying Power 8 years. Would have preferred a bridge deal. Would have provided us with 2M or more of cap space the next few years, and also made Power a more attractive trade piece of we did decide to go that route.

I am not on the Dobson bandwagon. We need RHD options who complement Dahlin and Power perfectly.Dahlin and Power take up over 19M AAV, I don't need another 10M defenseman. Way too much $ to allocate to defense. Plus 3 #1 PP defenseman isn't an ideal use of assets.

One problem the Sabres will have with moving Pick #9 is the pick does not carry as much weight as usual. The draft isnt great at 9 and other teams also want to move off their 1st round pick. It is a buyer's market so the Sabres wont get the usual value that comes with Pick #9.
In this case, I am ok with Buffalo keeping this pick provided they are utilizing other existing prospects in the pipeline to upgrade the current roster.

Martin is going to be over drafted. I do not believe he'll be there at 9.
Sad but true the Sam Bennett effect and emulating SC Champions builds is real.

There is one critical different between Vegas' use of LTIR and the Sabres. Vegas has a roster good enough to make the playoffs without Mark Stone in it.
Well this is true, where the tax advantage comes into play is generally after the team is constructed, to then be able to add an extra 6-8M to the books AND re-sign players at lower rates to sustain excellence.

So Pegula’s play is get to about 5,000 fans a game and thus have the excuse to finally sell the team to an owner that will be moving them to Houston?
Or Atlanta for the 3rd time?
Is that how this plays out?The Houston Sabres? Well at least Kevyn can have his yearned for Palm Trees and No taxes

But all the futures they traded to win. Versus all the 1st rounders Adams has used to get Buffalo to... no where.
and with Vegas circumventing LTIR and their tax advantages that definitely aided them

The NY Rangers 2025 1st round pick was Top 13 protected this year (was in the JT Miller trade) so doesnt that mean the NY Rangers 2026 1st automatically goes to Vancouver?

The only way I am dealing Helenius is in a package for a player like Jordan Kyrou or Jason Robertson

If JJ Peterka signs an offer sheet with NY, the AAV would make the compensation be a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. IF the Sabres were able to land another top forward like a Jason Robertson, or even a Jordan Kyrou (who is rumored to be available), I would gladly let JJ walk for that compensation.
-
Whenever I think of Jake Oettinger I say to myself: 'He is really good, BUT' Just do not feel he is a top tier goalie. IMO he is a very good goalie who is boosted with a tremendous roster around him. And now with that large AAV kicking in I would not want the Sabres to make this kind of move.

Trade for Demko a possibility?
I like this idea. I am absolutely not married to the idea of Levi becoming a franchise goalie. Demko has a lot of skill and IF he can stay healthy, can be a steal for Buffalo. And he is only signed for 1 more year

Trade : Conor Timmins and Isaac Belliveau from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Connor Clifton and the 39th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
