msw2112 Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Seems like an odd trade to me. Laaksonen is younger and was at one time thought to be a solid D prospect. Cecconi is 25 and has not made it out of the AHL. To me, that means he has less upside. I suppose the logic is that the Sabres no longer see Laaksonen as a future NHL player and that Cecconi can add more to Rochester than Laaksonen does. The one thing I like about Cecconi is that he's a Michigan Wolverine. Maybe having more Wolverines in the system (to go along with Owen Power) will influence Portillo to sign with the Sabres. (I say that in jest - Cecconi left Michigan before Portillo arrived, so there is likely very little connection.) Upon further review, I also see that he's a local kid from Youngstown,NY and he played with the Jr. Sabres, so further plusses for the kid. Upon my first read, I thought he was from Youngstown, OH. Either way, it looks like the Sabres have given up on Laaksonen. Edited December 16, 2022 by msw2112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it looks like the Sabres have given up on Laaksonen. Laaksonen was getting healthy scratched in Rochester. I think that’s all that needs to be said. A team with no defensive prospects on the Amerks. He lost a competition where he was the only competitor. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 This is not the d-trade we're looking for. Best of luck to Laaksonen in his future endeavors. Is it good for the Amerks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
