Oilers/Sabres Blockbuster
The Oilers and the Sabres have made two big trades but I'll just put them together as one bigger trade. In total:
Sabres acquire
Nate Schmidt
Erik Haula
Jack Studnicka
Oilers acquire
Sam Girard
Tyler Bertuzzi
Gustav Olofsson
Ryan Lindgren
2020 1st
2019 2nd (NYR)
We've been struggling this season and hope that some changes either make us better somehow or just help us retool for next season. Really didn't want to move Schmidt but was open to that in the right deal (#notfakenews) as he's still having a good season and has a great rating. Haula was someone I wanted to move as he's been mediocre and injured irl. Studnicka stings to lose but Buffalo really wanted him and I gave him up in order to get a 1st. Girard is someone I think will really develop into a great player and is already a solid top 4 guy. Bertuzzi is developing into a good 2nd liner on the Wings. Olofsson is an okay young dman who can fill a role for this season. Lindgren is a good B prospect with the Rangers farm. I am happy to acquire a 1st and a early-mid 2nd as well.
Thanks to Sportsjunky for the deal
