Proposed trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres: a concrete offer involving a 1st round pick comes out
In a recent article, journalist Arpon Basu, whom you know well and covers the Montreal Canadiens, proposed a concrete trade involving the Habs and the Buffalo Sabres.
"In the case of Dvorak, the numbers don't necessarily reflect his true trade market value.
A third-line center who wins his face-offs, who can play both ways on the ice, who can play on the power play and on the penalty kill, is an attractive asset for a contending team.
I believe the Canadiens will view him as such and would require a significant return to trade him.
Once again, as an example, let's say the Buffalo Sabres are in contention for the playoffs by the trade deadline.
If they feel they need a veteran center to stabilize things and play solid defensively, they might be willing to trade a young player like Isak Rosen, a very good prospect, but not the crown jewel of the Sabres."

Rosen, 20 years old, was the 14th overall pick (1st round) in the 2021 NHL Draft. He is a Swedish winger who accumulated a solid total of 37 points in 66 games last season in the AHL, in addition to 8 points in 14 playoff games.
