Part of the reason why Krebs was important to Buffalo is because he projects to be a centre in the NHL. If that was important to the Sabres, the Flames had little to offer. I'm not sure if Zary projects to be a centre or winger at the NHL level.

But I think the fan perception that "offers can be beat" by throwing in more stuff is fundamentally flawed.
You really think Krebs as part of the offer couldn’t be beat? That seems really hard to believe. Draft picks are currency as are players and prospects frsnkly.

I was with you in Krebs being valuable but not to the point that he would be irreplaceable in a trade.
