Sabres & Canadiens Trade

[Burkes Boys]

We took a call from Montreal's owner and ended up making a deal.  The guy works fast.

Dealt to MTL
Mika Zibanejad, $4.9m (2016-2019)
Nicolas Deslauriers, $0.2m (2016-2018)
Tyler Myers, $2.1m (2014-2017)  3.2m (2017-2020)
C - Jonathan Dahlen (2016: 2/42 - 0 Games)
G - Tristan Jarry (2013: 2/44 - 0 Games)

Dealt to BUF
G - Thatcher Demko (2014: 2/36 - 0 Games)
Curtis Lazar, $2.0m (2014-2017-EL)  1.5m (2017-2020)
Devon Toews, $0.2m (2016-2018)
LW - Justin Kirkland (2014: 3/62 - 0 Games)
D - Jonathan-Ismael Diaby (2013: 3/64 - 0 Games)

Coughing up an arm and a leg for my goalie of the future but we got him.
Demko will be an amazing goalie for years to come. Everything else is gravy as they say. Demko is one of only two goalie prospects I'd offer up this kind of package for. Really happy to land him. Thanks for the easy going talks Mordecai.

Montreal agrees to this trade with Buffalo. We are selling core assets (some might call it mortgaging the future) by trading a bluechip prospect in Thatcher Demko but the return warrants the move. Our organization is addressing needs in all areas by making this deal and we get a respected prospect netminder in return. Good doing business with you Burkes Boys.

Bold trade.

Approve

Big trade. Lots of players. Demko has a chance to own the starter's role in Vancouver.

I approve. Its a big deal for both sides.
