Lower end prospect, they want to package 17 and 17 to get to 5, 6 or 7 and take the homegrown kid, Hagens

I think they definitely want to have options for trying to get Hagens for sure. I suspect they will try to entice Boston into something if Hagens is still there at 7. 

You can say Dobson isn't worth the price or the salary but Montreal just got immediately better. This is exactly what Sabres don't do and thus don't get better. Trading futures for the present. Big additions. We just rotate pieces.

I'd take 2 for Byram and 9 if they offered.

Misa would be a NHL player this year on 28 of 32 teams

Agree with this too. Otherwise, I would rather bridge Byram than give him away for a late 1st or even 2 late firsts.

Of course but they're not giving up 2 for that package

If we traded two firsts for Dobson this place would burn down.

I could have sworn we traded Savoie for the present.

Tavares signs a 4 year 4.38 Million Dollar AAV extension with Toronto 

That is a really good deal for Toronto.

He had 38 goals in just 75 games. He would have gotten 40+ if he played the full 82.  He's getting older, but $4.38m for a guy who just scored almost 40?

The key thing for the Leafs is you are getting the same guy back (one year older but likely almost the same guy) but he just took about a $7m pay cut.

So, Toronto gets the same guy, but now has an extra $7m per year to work with?

In 3-4 years the contract may be bad..but then again, $4.38m?  Even if he drops off a cliff its not a bad contract.

This is very very good for Toronto.

When, if ever, was the last time a guy came off of a 38 goal season (again, 40+ if he played a full 82) and signed a contract for under 5% of the cap?  Unreal bargain.

Hate it for that very reason

I’d like to see Miles Wood in a Sabres jersey.  Was hoping we’d have made a move before Colorado picked him up. 

Columbus had to take on a bunch of salary for the floor (Gaudreau); Colorado had to move salary to tinker with their lineup to stay competitive. Win-win.

Columbus got better (with Monahan fully healthy again). Colorado will make corresponding moves to get better today and on July 1. Palm trees named McKinnon and Makar grow there.
