Time to trade Peterka

If JJ Peterka signs an offer sheet with NY, the AAV would make the  compensation be a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. IF the Sabres were able to land another top forward like a Jason Robertson, or even a Jordan Kyrou (who is rumored to be available), I would gladly let JJ walk for that compensation.

 

I just can't see the Rangers being able to do this. They would need to take the following steps. 

1) give up this years number 12 draft pick so they can get next years first round draft pick back. 

2) Convince Utah to take the 3rd round pick they have this year instead of the second round pick they have rights to next year.

3) Give us an unprotected 1st round pick plus a second and a third next year.  (do they think they are going to be better next year after dealing away all those players) ?

4) Find enough money to pay JJ  around 9 million a year to prevent us from matching it. 

As a counter measure we could deal with Utah to steal the rangers pick and prevent them from even trying to do this. 

This could be fun!

You mean how Rangers fans wouldn’t give up Kakko or Laff for Eichel. Yeah I’m done with that too. 

Instead of Kakko being the key piece in an eichel trade, they got borgen and some late picks.  Laff is also now getting 7+ aav and playing like cozens.

We'll trade an old MSG hot dog, no bun, this subway card we found with no money on, and a 7th round pick in 2057 for Jack Eichel. Asking for anything else is unreasonable.

I'm not interested in stats as justification for chaining ourselves to players who don't get it done when it counts. We've been playing that game for like 20 years on this site.

How many massive losing streaks have Tage Thompson's Sabres experienced? 

What's Tage bringing to this team when he's getting shoved off the puck in the corners despite being 6 foot 6?

Guess the Sabres shouldn't have traded Pierre Turgeon either. 

Anyone still showing up is a fool anyway. 

I think you’re misplacing blame for the team’s failures.

Who should I blame instead? Joel Giambra?

Just because they're our best players doesn't mean they're worth a sack of potatoes.
