DarthEbriate Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) The beauty of this is that Portillo will sign elsewhere and in a few years, LAK will trade a 3rd for him again just to make him their backup for a year before he walks in UFA again.

Good trade though if he's going to UFA. Heck, we could still sign him in the offseason. Now that we've got the 3rd we can trade it for Schenn. D'oh, again! This reminds me of late in the 2011-12 season when we traded Gaustad before the deadline for a first on the last year of his deal. I legitimately thought he could be coming right back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's roughly equivalent to what the Sabres will get if Johnson doesn't sign. Late 3rd in '23 is roughly the same value as late 2nd in '24.

Huckleberry Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Night Train said: I saw him up close in drills at Summer prospects camp at Harborcenter. Big but gave up rebounds. Didn't see "it" at all. Levi was quick and far better. No loss. He knew he wasn't wanted anymore. Sounds like another UPL type then 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tucker Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) If only this deal was made about three days ago. Could've potentially used this 3rd rounder to get Schenn Edited March 2, 2023 by John Tucker 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) KA states - "Clearing a path for Devon Sir! - Plan Levi a go!" TP replies - "Very good soldier." TP suggests - "Probably wouldn't hurt to get a defenseman or two to play in front of him" KA replies - "I'll take that under advisement, Sir!" TP replies - "Very well. Keep up the good work soldier, carry on!" Edited March 2, 2023 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of interesting we dealt Gaustad at the deadline that year when IIRC we were still very much “in it”. the “grey piping” on the sweaters era is sorta a no-man’s land era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
