Like, I know.

Here's the truth.

Let's get those numbers up.

Well,

Other than Philip Peronic, what do they have to trade for a first-round pick?

That's it.

Unless you can manufacture that value.

Yeah.

And there are ways to manufacture that value.

I was thinking today.

So Ryan McLeod had five points in 13 playoff games, minus seven for the Buffalo Sabres who don't seem to be very good at evaluating who they are, which players they have that are good.

They have Krebs to extend.

They have Benson to extend and they have tuck to extend and McLeod makes five and a half and they don't have the cap space to do all of it.

their goal some guys are going to shake loose from the Buffalo Sabres now in my opinion if the Buffalo Sabres are smart it would be Jack Quinn it would be Peyton Krebs and it would be maybe Josh Norris who they'd consider dealing and and I'd be looking for like an upgraded center like you're bundling good players to try and get great players kind of what they did with what Utah tried to do with Paterka but you know hopefully you do it better than that mm-hmm

McLeod to me six foot three skates like the wind 26 years old no one thought he could score a lick and he has 53 and 54 points the last two years and that's with 16 and 17 minutes of play and not a ton of power play time like you're telling me I can't build that guy you know Pedersen on his left wing Linus Carlson on his right 20 minutes a night in the bumper on the power play can I build him into a 75 point first line center

that some team thinks, you know, is worth a first round pick.

Like also like, those are the sorts of, those are the sorts of things I want to see that connects like really in a really predatory way.

Well, I'm saying they'd need to... You'd be probably... I'm talking about a situation where you'd be sending a top young player.

Right.

Like, you'd have to be giving them a cost control.
