Penguins and Sabres linked as potential trade partners



Penguins and Sabres linked as potential trade partners

The Sabres and the Penguins reportedly could be looking to make a trade with each other, involving an NHL-ready prospect going to Pittsburgh. Are Zach Benson and Jiri Kulich untouchable for the type of player Pittsburgh could send back?

Is Rickard Rakell the Penguin that makes the most sense for the Sabres?

Plus, the Sabres are in Calgary for Sabres After Dark!

    Ya ok, Like that will happen with Adams…Zach Benson is the same weight and height as Danny Gare, when he played

  2. @neilkennington2397

    Pens trade for Rakell – no thanks , dont need another SOFT FORWARD. Sorry im not moving Kulich or Benson unless its for Crosby .
    How about Cozens to Calgary for a second round pick and Kevin Bahl who would fit nicely with Owen Power on the second D pair. Sorry cant see Calgary trading Andersson or Weegar .

  3. @captainahab4325

    Kulich a hard NO. Kulich plays the game the right way he does not hurt you defensively and he hasn't even reached his ceiling not even near.

  4. @BlackIjs

    Kulich vs Benson… I'm taking Kulich. If Pittsburgh calls, I'm hanging up. Godd dddamn you're nuts to think of trading Kulich.

  5. @robertbrown8900

    As much as we like Benson, I don't think he has a ton of trade value. He's skilled, got alot of heart, and is not a defensive liability, but objectively he's a small, bottom 6 forward, with average production. He's got an upside but I don't think he is anyone's dream acquisition.

    Kulich is a keeper. It would be insane to trade Kulich for Rakell. Kulich has already shown he can play on any line, any position, and hold his own. He's our future 2C.. maybe even as soon as next season. Rakell can score 30, but he's still a 30+ year old, soft winger.
    Bunting, Petterson, Acciari, or Pierre-Olivier Joseph would my targets.. if I'm the Pens, I'm asking for Kulich or Peterka or Byram or Levi

    I agree with the Gilbert making some really bad mistakes. Last game the Cozens line was really bad for breakout passing to get into Vancouvers zone. They just tried to force a pass through like back to back to back times…and they all had a Van stick in the lane that did not get through. They just need to hold on the puck longer or if they can't get in before an offside then dump it in.

  7. @indieroc4life

    Bryan rust? They can have benson or kulich for their next 2 years worth of 1st and second round picks. Sabres should not be helping any other team in the league. Only look for deals where you know you are absolutely fleecing the other team.

  9. @markmangano7005

    I hate that idea of Kulich who is playing 1c and well for an old regressing player. That is fools gold and the reason why our team will never get out of the mud

  12. @mikehartl8665

    Ostlund, Rosen etc. should be getting NHL reps RIGHT NOW! Team is not making the playoffs so what are they waiting for???

  13. @mikehartl8665

    If I trade anyone it's an overpaid underachiver like Cozens, Samuelsson, Power, etc. Too soon to tell on young prospects like Benson, Kulich, Ostlund, Rosen, etc.

  16. @jfkst1

    Penguins need to rebuild so they need futures. Dubas isn't getting NHL ready prospects.

  17. @Boots27J

    Sell, move the team. Get an expansion franchise in a few years. This is exhausting and fruitless. Sabres scouting over past 10 years has ruined this franchise

  22. @tomhull1276

    Time to clear out Cozens for a slightly older, better 3rd pair D-man with a temper and a low pick coming back from whoever wants him. When a team has to play a 3rd pair of Gilbert and {put name here} you're not going to be a playoff team. The same could be said for Bryson. Clifton is a decent 3rd pair D-man but he would be better (as he was with the Bruins) with a more legitimate partner. As for Cozens…he's just a zombie on skates. Doesn't seem motivated, can't handle the puck, loses most big faceoffs he takes (Krebs is now on the 1st PP taking draws) forces play on O-zone entries that end up as bad turnovers, and generally couldn't hit a net as big as a barn with his shot…which he likes to take from a range that a high school goalie could routinely stop. A $7+M bust by all appearances.

    Why add veterans at this point? The season is over. They should be selling and getting ready for the draft.
