Would you do this deal assuming Rutger signs? | BUF gets: – Rutger McGroarty – Nik Ehlers – Alex Iafallo| |WPG gets – Matthew Savoie – 11th overall – Peyton Krebs – 2025 3rd|

    I’d like to point out this doesn’t include an Ehlers extension for those saying “Yes, this is in Buffalos favor completely.”

    I think mcgroaty is going to be a better player than Savoie. Though I am really high on Savoie

  3. AceTrainer315

    No. I like Savoie more than McGroarty. Change him with one of our other 1st round prospects and I’m game, as long as Ehlers is going to sign. If we don’t know then we can’t trade for him.

    I have a hard t8me believing a guy who is digging in his heels about signing in Winnipeg is going to be eager to sign in Buffalo. In general, divas should be avoided.

    I could see it happening, Buffalo Iafallo

    You can probably get Iafallo for a mid round pick.

    The comparable for Rutger’s value is the Cutter trade of a 2nd + an injury prone DY+3.5 Drysdale.

    The typical pending UFA winger return is a late 1st + prospect. Also giving an extension to a 29 year old winger would just be Okposo all over again.

    That’s just a big overpay on Buffalo’s part based on recent comparables.

    Horrible. Savoie has the highest upside here.

  8. Why? Neither team would want that. Winnipeg is not a team looking for futures, so this package would not be appealing to them. And it’s way too many similar roster players for Buffalo, as McGroarty would need a roster spot to sign. Spending the 11th, a 3rd, Krebs and Savoie for 3 middle 6 left shot wingers, 2 of them with expiring contracts and one prospect, sounds like awful value long term as well.

  9. SayNoToAids

    Nope, too much and don’t want to resign Ehlers when he is 29 and give him a long term deal

    I want to see savoie at least one season on the sabres
