Vancouver Trades:

RW Zack Kassian & b level prospect or mid pick

To Buffalo for:

RW Chris Stewart

Chris Stewart is basically who Zack Kassian is supposed to be, a good scoring power forward who will fit into the nucks top six and second pp unit. Kassian himself is still 23 and has a lot of upside. Maybe another go round with the team who drafted him will get him going. Plus Buffalo gets a future asset.

Stewart =/= Good scorer. Why would Buffalo want another version of Stewart? Even if he is still young, doesn't mean he'll amount to anything. Sabres have people to fill Stewart's hole when he's gone because it won't be hard to fill.

What would be a mid-level pick and do you have a list of prospects you had in mind? If Nikita Tryamkin or Cole Cassels (2 previous 3rd round picks) were on the list, IMO it would work for Murray.

@ SemiDecent
I like the trade on many levels. But I want be certain that you and I agree on the value of a "B" prospect. Here is the ranking of players as per ESPN:
A - prospects
1 Jonathan Drouin LW Tampa Bay Lightning
2 Aaron Ekblad D Florida Panthers
B+ prospects
3 Sam Bennett C Calgary Flames
4 William Nylander RW Toronto Maple Leafs
5 Sam Reinhart C Buffalo Sabres
6 Nikolaj Ehlers LW Winnipeg Jets
7 Kevin Fiala LW Nashville Predators
8 Leon Draisaitl C Edmonton Oilers
9 Michael Dal Colle LW New York Islanders
10 Evgeny Kuznetsov C Washington Capitals
11 Filip Forsberg RW Nashville Predators
12 Teuvo Teravainen C Chicago Blackhawks
13 Haydn Fleury D Carolina Hurricanes
B prospects
14 Curtis Lazar RW Ottawa Senators
15 Kasperi Kapanen RW Pittsburgh Penguins
16 Brandon Gormley D Arizona Coyotes
17 Mikhail Grigorenko C Buffalo Sabres
18 Josh Morrissey D Winnipeg Jets
19 Bo Horvat C Vancouver Canucks
20 Griffin Reinhart D New York Islanders
21 Nikita Zadorov D Buffalo Sabres
22 Andre Burakovsky LW Washington Capitals
23 Darnell Nurse D Edmonton Oilers

I find it hard to believe that Bo Horvat would be considered a "B" prospect. What would you call a "B" prospects. I have a feeling what I call a "C" prospect, you are referring to as a "B" prospect.

Doesn't do anything for either team

Stewart sucks. I wouldn't give up Kassian straight up for him.

Nice point sbr2017.
I prolly wouldn't trade a single of the above listed D prospects straight up for Stewart. So rather a C prospect.
