PHI/ BUF Trade

[papps]

The Flyers and Buffalo have agreed to a deal:

Flyers receive:

G Ryan Miller, $6.3m (2013-2014)
2012 2nd round pick

for

G Sergei Bobrovsky, $1.8m (2012-2013)
C Sean Couturier, $0.2m (P-2013)
LW Eric Wellwood, $m (P-n/a)
2012 1st round pick
2012 3rd round pick

I do this trade to land a top goalie.  I feel I have the depth to trade some youth.  I'm hoping Miller has a few good years left in him.

Sabres to confirm.

Buffalo Confirms

I really hated giving up Miller, as he was the only reason I picked Buffalo!

However, my team isn't winning crap next year - but I want to rebuild my team and make them young and this is a great step towards doing that.

I have some top flight prospects who were taken in the 1st round last year who are ready to bust out in the next season or two (Noesen, Scheifele, Baertschi, Oleksiak) / couple that with the two high 1st round picks I'll have this year with Couturier, Wellwood & Bobs (who I expect to be a starter in the next few seasons)....

All I can say is that my team is gonna be a powerhouse in a season or two, and I am definitely in for the long haul.

Hey guys, I love this deal for both sides but there is one problem.  Our supplemental draft is only 2 rounds.  You cannot trade your keeper draft picks.  I realize this isn't clear in the rules and I will rectify that post-haste.  Please take a moment to re-work this.

There were picks traded from other deals:

Its fine if we have to rework it but I thought there was no issues with it.

Those are supplemental draft picks.  You just need to change that 3rd rounder to something else cause there is no 3rd round

We have dropped the 3rd round pick from the deal.  Here is the updated deal:

Flyers receive:

G Ryan Miller, $6.3m (2013-2014)
2012 2nd round pick

for

G Sergei Bobrovsky, $1.8m (2012-2013)
C Sean Couturier, $0.2m (P-2013)
LW Eric Wellwood, $m (P-n/a)
RW Mike Testwuide, $m (P-n/a)
2012 1st round pick

Great deal guys, love it.

Buffalo Approves the reworked trade.

I've had a man-crush on Testwuide since the Flyers signed him a couple seasons back.... so that makes up for the lack of the 3rd round pick.
