You’re probably right. It’s a completely futures-based package since that’s apparently what Buffalo wants. It’s what I imagine Montreal would be willing to offer right now since I don’t think they are willing to include Suzuki or Caufield. And, as I understand it, no team has come close to the demands from Buffalo.
I think any team that is making offers right now is probably maxing out at the equivalent of 3 first round picks. The offer I proposed is two first round picks, a previous recent first round pick, a young defenseman that’s currently projected to become a top four d-man, and a cap dump. Again, not a great package because there is very little star quality in there unless the picks and players exceed their projections. But I think any flames package could be similar unless tkachuk is included. We usually see proposals like Zary + Pelletier + a first round pick + Monahan on this board… I’m not sure if that’s much better than what I proposed from Montreal.
