rakish Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 JT Miller's usage is so favorable it makes Will Butcher and Rasmus Dahlen blush. That said, I'm probably with WC on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Alright, Tampa calls... Foote, Cirelli, Miller, Callahan for Risto, Nylander, and 30th overall pick. Now what? It's fun to speculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Does anyone do Risto for Miller straight across? I don't. A right-shot 40-point D with a physical edge is worth more than a 50-point centre who might not be as intense as he should be. Nylander for Foote is relatively fair value, depending on team needs, despite our impatience with Nylander and tendency to inflate all things Tampa. I'd certainly do 30 for Cirelli. I do the trade because Cirelli and Miller do wonders for our middle six and we have enough hope on D to fill the Risto hole. Tampa might because it fills their big hole on RD and gives them $5 million-plus in cap relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is a close no. I think its pretty close to even if you remove Callahan from the deal. They would need to add something to account for taking on the Callahan contact. 32 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: Alright, Tampa calls...

It's fun to speculate. Easy yes. Give me Cirelli. I don’t think we’re getting both him and Miller, though. Maybe take out the 30th and Miller and I still say yes.

LGR4GM Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Actually the trade that makes sense is Palat, Callahan, Cirelli and Foote for Risto, Nylander and a sweetner. Palat is older than Miller with 5.3 against the cap for 3 years. Had only 6 goals this past season. I am not advocating for Palat, just thinking it out.

LGR4GM Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Should also toss out Mitchell Stephens as a player Buffalo might like from Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I honestly can't see Tampa moving Cirelli, they need more young guys on cheap contracts, not less. The Callahan/Miller combo is simple and it solves their cap problems with parts they can replace in-house. That's the package they will try to move and a package the Sabres would be willing to take. The question is establishing fair value in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'm thinking in terms of liquid assets, Miller is worth something like a late 1st and taking on Callahan is probably worth a 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Stephens in the AHL is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 So if Stephens (or a similar prospect) is worth a 2nd, shouldn't Miller, Callahan and a prospect for the Blues 1st get it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres are relieving the Bolts of $11 million in one fell swoop for parts they don't need. That's not easy to come by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
