BUF-WPG trade

[Trevor (Buf)]

To BUF:
Andre Burakovsky
Henri Jokiharju
CGY 2nd 2018

To WPG:
Conor Sheary
David Savard

BUF makes the trade to get a little younger (slightly) and to get ahead of the curve in making space on the pro roster with a few graduates coming up soon (one being Sheary).

Sheary and Burakovsky are pretty similar. WPG loves this so he can be a homer for Sheary. Hoping for a Burakovsky breakout in Washington with a top six spot open.

Jokiharju could be good one day (who knows?) and the 2nd is a nice asset to have. Maybe Jokiharju will take over from Keith one day? Savard is quality but the return was good enough to move him with roster space tightening.

Confirmed, haha, a homer i am, but, sheary is a gamble, does he play with crosby or not?? Now Burakovsky is still an enigma, is he, or isnt he a star?? Fun banter. Savard helps on the back end.

[David (NJD)]

nice deal here. as wpg said so many questions with the main pieces. this is one of those trades you wanna look back in a few years from now and see how it panned out!
