What would be the absolute minimum that you would trade some Sabres for?

For example, I would trade Connolly for a 2nd round pick and maybe a minor player. I certainly don't think he's worth more than that.

Cody McCormick and a seventh round pick for Sidney Crosby.

With Connolly's health issues in the past and his pending free agency, do you all think we could even get a 2nd rounder for him?

I'll repost it again:

Malkin to Buffalo

Vanek, Kassian, Ennis, a second round draft pick and a 1st round draft pick to Pittsburgh.

Pens get a natural sniper to play with Sid, and ensure that he will resign. They get their entire future restocked and ensure that they wont lose Malkin to UFA in a couple more years. Vanek, would likely resign to Pittsburgh for less than what he makes now.

What would be a catastrophic loss of talent and youth for most franchises, would be restocked in a couple of years due to Buffalo's keen eye for talent and player development. But most importantly, they will eventually win their first Cup. Malkin is a Conn Smythe winner, he has game breaking one on one talent, and he's all heart.

agree that Malkin is simply the man... but that seems to be a steep price tag... not saying it would be cheap to grab the big man... but.... thats a lot of talent to give up... and i honestly have no clue on hockey trade values... you'd be looking at two top six F, a promising prospect a first and a second... and you still have timmy coming up on contract, keep gerbe in the line up... id still love the big man though, he needs his own team...
