To Detroit: Jared McCann To Buffalo: Ryan Getzlaf Michael Anderson Detroit accepts the above stated trade, sad too see Anderson go as I had high hopes for that kid, but having Getzlaf in the 3rd line feelt abit expansive so happy to see a good replacement there in McCann who can grow and develope on the 3rd line. Plus we save 3 Mil in cap so it's all good. Thanks for the fun negotiations Thomas

Sabres agree.
This turned out to be the best move for us in wanting to settle the top 6 and improve while doing so. Obviously, we'd have preferred someone more long-term in losing McCann, but after having several discussions with other clubs, the additions needed to McCann to bring in another top-6 C were a bit higher than we really wanted to part with.
So we keep our youthful assets, though move McCann to bolster our club's surprising surge. Anderson was really the sweetener here that put me over the edge. He should be a very capable D-first D in 2-3 years, and just adds to the plethora of future D we have in our arsenal.
Great late-night talks Mathias!
