Time to trade Peterka

I've mentioned Kesselring on my short list, there's also talk that the Mammoth want to move on from Matias Maccelli too. I wouldn't mind grabbing both for a prospect or 9OA and Byram.  I'd also curious what Mercer cost from the Devils as to me he's a guy I wouldn't mind at 2C if elected to put Norris on the top line.  JJP to me is a hard to lose guy as he's clearly a top end talent and unless we get a 50 game starting goalie for him or package him for a better Forward it makes little sense to move on from him. 

I want nothing to do with Maccelli.  He does more of what we don't need which is be a passive all skill, no defensive player.  We have enough of that.

“Seravalli suggests that buying out Mattias Samuelsson (yet another left-shot D), with his five more years at $4.285 million, would help free up some cap space (and the logjam on the blueline). He even posits that Buffalo could then go on to "trade one of Power or Dahlin” 

Um.  No thanks on trading Dahlin.

If Dahlin is traded I'm done holding onto my fan card. He's arguably the best player on the roster with Tage.

Not sure I trust Seravalli, especially when it comes to JJ Peterka, but he reported this morning that he believes one of the teams with significant interest in Peterka is Chicago, but their overture has stalled.

“They have let Buffalo know they’ve been willing to talk about #3 and it hasn’t really gone anywhere.”

He says the Sabres have told teams they need roster players back; they are looking for current help.

My big issue with acquiring Dobson is that he is going to get paid around $10 million per year based on having a 70 point season where he played a role he won’t play here. Dahlin is going to play PP1. I can maybe squint hard enough for it to make sense if we traded both Byram and Power. I don’t really see the point of acquiring a R-shot version of Power if we are keeping Power.

If we move Peterka to Chicago I want Sam Rinzel and Teuvo Teräväinen at the very least. Maybe also a swap of 3OA and 9OA.
