A city that is not on every players no-trade clause. Expect the same for any player looking to get traded. Buffalo will only be able to get free agents by overpaying by a ton. The reputation here is so beyond awful that I really think this team will never recover. Drafting is there only chance from here on out. 

Couple that with the Mickey Mouse GM.

We’re talking roughly Krebs and a 2nd?

Roughly correct. 

I don't like Zegras and I do wonder why Anaheim (who many people think are going to push for the playoffs now) decided he wasn't a fit for that so clearly they think he's a lost cause, but that's a low risk price for Philly. If Zegras can get it together now that's a heck of a deal for Philly.

I have trouble reconciling a team built around the likes of Michkov and Zegras in Philadelphia. Interested in how they complement that.

I'm going to guess Briere saw it this way. We need a skilled center. I can get this guy cheap. Maybe Tocchet can get him to play to his potential. If not, he's a placeholder for whoever they draft 6th overall this year and is likely the guy in 2 years. 

idk if him being Drysdale's best friend matters and it might even be bad but who knows, Zegras still makes me think of this and likely always will:

If you trade a 2nd and Krebs for Zegras, you can't trade a 2nd or Krebs for something else.

This might’ve been asked already, but could this weak return for Zegras lower the market for other player trades?
