Perhaps, just a guess. Don't fall into the trap of overvaluing our prospects. Kulich is the only one that would hurt

Jack's salary was also $10million, where Zegras has 2 years left at half of that then RFA
- turbo044

I'm not too sue Kulich for Zegras is anything but a speed up trade. I don't think Zegras is THAT guy anyways.

Jack was in a different stratosphere in terms of value. I don't think that's debatable but can agree to disagree on cost.

I would do that deal without shipping out one of Rosen or RyJo

You overpay for someone custom made to fit the roster hole
- Shadman306

I hear ya, seems like there's a big variance in perspective on Zegras. Personally, I'm not sure I'd be overjoyed to get him regardless of the cost. I mean Kulich for Zegras, to me is meh, due to the kid's attitude and shotty play/injury last year.

I’m at the point where I don’t really care who they get for the top 6 as long as they get one

Kulich training with Dahlin, Power, Peterka, Samuelsson, Joker, UPL maybe others in Switzerland

- Shadman306

Yep, if KA got at top 6 three things would happen:
1. Everyone would be thrilled we got a top 6
2. Most would say KA overpaid
3. Too many would move on to the we desperately need a top 4 Dman

IF we're interested in Zegras, and despite what Gerbe says, I do not think we are, we could make a much better offer than the rags. Something like:

Kulich - better prospect than the rags could offer
2025 1st (higher 1st than the rags have
Rosen
Krebs
A defenseman prospect like RJO

5 first round picks for Trevor Zegras aint it

I am also not a big Zegras fan and would rather go after someone else, just seems like its him or nothing, but this could all change tomorrow with a new name being put out there.

That's fair. We need to get more goals in the lineup and he would help with that. I go back and forth because I'm not sure we make the playoffs even with that addition and I think a new GM (an average one) would make better trades than Adams can produce. Retention of ammo if you will.

I can see it both ways.

Jack's value was also at an all-time low, so it's tough to compare that one to anything.

Sabres are really bad at trading. Painful to remember some of these.

he'd get us 3 kakkos

So how many McLeod's should Savoie have gotten ? Since Kappo has done things McLeod hasn't.

So we have our captain on the roster yet? Dahlin gonna get it or is someone not on the team yet the guy?

- Buff36

Kappo has done things McLeod hasn’t???

Kappo averages .05 points per game than McLeod. Point Zero Five. Not a half point per game. Half of a half of a point per game. .39 for Kappo, .34 for McLeod.

McLeod does thinks Kappo can’t do.

Like not being scored on on the PK allllll damn playoffs?... oh wait that was McLeod

Yeah, I'd rather wait, but totally get it. We do have some talent and we're wasting Dahlin and Tage when we can't bring in a better supporting cast. Then again, I will hope that new name pops up too lol.

OK, has McLeod scored more than 15 goals, has McLeod ever broke 20 Assists. If we are going of potential and what we hope they can do.

OK, Kakko isn't a black hole defensively.

McLeod was the 40th pick overall (or something like that), Kakko was 2nd overall. Kakko is a bust

the gap between mcleod playing third line at .342 ppg is not much different from krebs playing with 2 pylons at .307 ppg

In all fairness, Tage wasted Tage's abilities last year. Granted, injuries played into that I would hope

is kakko a bust like power

or a bust like rosen

Speed and PK are the difference here

is kakko a bust like power

or a bust like rosen
- homiedclown

Neither Power or Rosen is a bust. Kakko is a bust like Alex Nylander is a bust

- turbo044

For a bust he's already outscored McLeod

- Lunaion

I'd probably say Zegras' value is at an all time low as well, so they are comparable to some extent, but I get it.

Interesting too how this has changed. We used to be decent at trades, waiting a long time but getting the right deal, but were absolutely awful at drafting. Now our drafting has improved and our trades are just nightmarish. I know the regimes have changed, so it's understandable, but amazing that we bounced between polar opposites.
