and yes it depends where the NYI and blues end up ..

if they end up in the 20's we have to make a bigger trade with a player

So they would take a chance to see if their guy will be there 7 picks later? and this is all based on the ises having the 17th pick? doubt it. And you think a team just has one player in mind and if they are gone they will willingly trade down 10 or more spots? no

Like I said it depends where the ises and blues end up but if they are in the 20's I highly highly doubt they would trade out of the top ten

We also could offer up a prospect. If their are any teams with the ammo to get back in the top 10, we are one

I dont. I think we will be lucky to get a second round pick for him

One of these stat lines generated a first round draft pick. Why wouldn't the other?

lots of GMs do this it happens a lot .. they will have a list of 3-4 players and they will trade down to get more picks + they get the player they want

Yea maybe a few spots but not 10-15 spots. Not in this draft.

Grigo will be added to a deal is my feeling, TM didn't draft him.

Only way i like this is if we're a looking at a young stud like a Taylor Hall or matt duchene etc ..

I would think it would have to be a pretty good prospect or player but sure

Myers/Grigo to Colorado (Roy likes him and could maybe give him the confidence he needs).
- Irish 14

I'd be inclined to trade him. He's restricted at the end of this year, is going to become even MORE disenchanted with the franchise once he's sent back to Roch. and has just not shown that he can produce at this level. I know he isn't playing with quality line mates but it seems like the talent should have shown through by now. (Yet I see nothing).

Welcome to the abyss of hockey talent that is the Buffalo Sabres.

Grigorenko will be a good player, but not on this team this year

If that get's us Duchene ..

i think sbroads24 , me would do this lol

Actually, if we are guaranteed McDavid or Eichel, I wouldnt.

Who are we then moving to wing? Are we giving up Myers and Grigorenko for a winger?

I would do it.

Are we really still bringing up the Paul Gastaud trade? that trade was a total enigma. Nobody understood why he got what he got. Dont expect it to happen again

The aves are not trading Matt Duchene. They would laugh hard at this offer
