Buffalo Sabres: 3 blockbuster trade packages for Jason Robertson

The WOW Scenario

Once again, parting ways with a talent like Peterka would not be easy, especially after how well he has played in training camp and in the preseason. But there is a chance general manager Kevyn Adams sees him as expendable in a trade for a talent like Robertson.

The Buffalo Sabres also showed how deep they are all over their prospect pool so far in preseason. While Peterka is one of the most talented in the pool, players like Jiri Kulich, Linus Weissbach, Lukas Rousek, and Brandon Biro have potential to become sound NHL players on the middle to lower lines.

This, in turn, could justify the Sabres in moving Peterka, plus three draft picks to acquire Robertson. Skinner, as in the previous scenario, would need to waive his no-movement clause for this trade to occur. While Peterka could be enough to see this trade through, adding Skinner again gives the Stars a player who could help them immediately just in case Peterka needs to acclimate himself.

Overall, I don’t see this trade happening, as I feel the Sabres would be giving up way too much. But it’s also wise to expect the unexpected in the NHL, so I needed to place at least one out of this world scenario in this article.
