IKnowPhysics Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 61st overall and seven years of investment for a 6th rounder. I'm not one for the sunk cost fallacy, but yeesh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I hate this trade. JJ has improved at every level, he's obviously not NHL ready yet, but he's only 25. We probably won't here his name for a few years, but and some point I wouldn't be surprised if he matures into an above average NHLer.

A 6th round pick in the NHL is basically nothing, almost always. But as you say, there are exceptions. It's basically currency to be bundled with other forms of currency, so in that sense, it can have some value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think this trade is a big win for GMKA. I can't imagine how he got a 6th for this guy and didn't have to through in a 6th for the Avs to take him. On top of that we just signed that other guy. Watch for JJ to turn into the next Hasek under Joe in Colorado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that it's close right now and that UPL is the better talent and will soon be the better goaltender with significantly more upside. JJ isn't even better then Hutton. So where does JJ fit here? UPL is now the starter in Roch this season and next. Ullmark is the starter in the NHL and Togarski is our Expansion eligible goalie and backup in Roch in a normal season. KA is going to replace Hutton next season with a seasoned NHLer and either bring back Ullmark or try to upgrade him. Now add the Portillo is a season or two from turning pro. That leaves JJ no where. Hopefully he'll go to Colorado and become UIlmark 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, 6ths aren't worth much. Heck, once you get out of the first, you are lucky to get a good player. But, with some exceptions, it is a lottery ticket. The odds of you getting a quality starter might be 100-1, an all star 1000-1....but those thing DO happen and the more lotter tickets you have, the better. Heck, I'd take a few extra 6th or 7th rounders each year and throw them at the best college or european goalie that my scout say is left on the board.....if only the Sabres had any real scouts left... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestSabresFan Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 So which is worse, being traded for a 6th? Or traded for future considerations? I know the considerations can be conditional, but the fact the compensation isn't up front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we keep Carter Hutton. SMH I woulda put JJ back in Roch with UPL. Tokarski backing up Hutton with Ullmark out, and Houser on taxi squad. Trading a goalie prospect you developed for a late round draft pick. This is going to help do what? This wastes the ability to include JJ in the package of a bigger deal that might actually help make them better now.

They got at least SOMETHING for a pending UFA who was not in their plans. Hard to argue that. If he was any good he'd already have played a ton of NHL games, but he has not yet developed and likely won't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
