Buffalo need results next season and MTL is slowly rebuilding. This does the exact opposite.

So just to clarify: Quinn & Savoie would both go 5OA in this draft?

Just to clarify, how much later would those two be going? Come on man, this is horrible.

They are your words. I am just asking you to clarify your perspective. What position would those two go if they were picked in 2024?

How about Rosen and Savoie

That gets you Ryan McLeod, supposedly, not Demidov.

Yes. Savoie is a very skilled player. They were also former top 10 picks. You don't trade two top 10 picks for 5oa

You trade top10 picks for 3rd liners, apparently.

Having fun I see sticking it to some of these posters. I don't blame you, but to be fair, what the heck was their GM thinking. That trade was gawd awful!

People are already trying to justify the deal LMAO. It's an overpay as best case scenario for Buffalo. Its Erat for Forsberg in the meantime. Buffalo fans acting so confidently like they knew what they were talking about and being such ingrates in retrospect will always be funny, today!
