To BUFFALO:
Steven Stamkos
Garrett Pilon
BOS 3rd 2022
TO BOSTON:
Ryan Getzlaf
Quintin Byfield
I could write a book on this deal, but it's late - so I'll keep in short for now. This was the hardest deal I've had to make. Byfield is coming along nicely and there's no doubt in my mind he would have been a stud for me inside of 2-3 years, if that. But with other assets on the rise and three 1st round picks in 2021, the temptation to add Stamkos to be able to further aid our younger players for years to come was just too good to pass up.
I fought a bit to get Pilon involved here (Getzlaf had to go for salary reasons). I think he's definitely going to be a serviceable pro player in a couple seasons. He'll get plenty of playing time now to help him beef up his ratings.
Great talks Dan. They weren't long in time, but they were certainly lengthy. Do Byfield right for me.
