Depends on the draft, what you get, how far you move down, etc. The draft value drops quick as you move back in the first round.

You dug up a post from 3 years ago? In this draft, yes it is fine. This draft is a bit odd and also, it depends on if they use that asset they got to improve the team now. I think trading down from 11 to 14 is very different than trading from 9 to 11 if that makes sense. In this particular draft however, I think there is a tier from about 8-16ish maybe even 18, so it doesn't bother me much.

This, right here, is the biggest concern with Nygard.

Trouba wants to stay in NY for family reasons. Dreger mentioned in on WGR earlier today, so I am not convinced Buffalo would be on that list. Nice short and direct flight from Buffalo to NYC.

If Adams made this trade the draft guys have already assured him that at 11 or 14 the options present similar upside.

Hello, do you have moment to talk about Michael Brandsegg-Nygård

This tweet doesn't make sense to me. Jiricek and Emery will almost guaranteed be there at 14.

But you also get another swing at pick 42. If they don't trade anything (I just do not believe that at all now) then you moved from 11 to 14 but also get an extra swing in round two at pick 42. Who might drop to 42 and 43? Lots of options in that range if I am being truthful.

My dream is alive!

I think they want Eiserman at 11 to play with his friend Celebrini

Value wise in the draft, this is a good trade.

If you need to attach a 2nd round pick to move Skinner...

We're getting rid of Skinner to change the look of the team right? But if you bring in Necas, sure he can go on the 3rd or 2nd line whatever but he's better Skinner basically. It's painting a room and saying you remodeled.

It doesn't bother me. X away.

No one cares about the xs. Everyone can use them, it's a good feature.

My broheim, I don't like Necas because he doesn't change the teams dynamic.

Tom Brady retired

I think he disagrees with me. Even disagrees with a tweet I posted with no comments.

4 years at 3.25 is high.

Dude, kiss my grits. @Thorny so salty today.

I mean, I don't disagree except I think some of the prospects do have grit. Still Buffalo needs to value "hard to play against" more than they do. It is why I keep bringing up Nygard, he is a pain in the ass to play against.

Dreger on trading Jeff Skinner: Sabres would retain money in a Skinner trade and there has been interest. idk if it is much leverage. He can get 2/3 of the remaining money owed and easily get more than the 1/3 he's missing out on. A bet a lot of teams will look at the good years with Eichel and Tage and be like, you know, his issue is that team sucks but he's really good at about 5mil a year.

to be truthful, I think that might be a long shot. Skinner could get 2/3 of his remaining cash and fill more than that last 1/3 in a new deal (he's going to get more on the open market than 3x3mil). That 2/3 is the buyout he gets. Darren Dreger says there is clearly interest in trading for Jeff Skinner.
