TO STL:
D-William Villeneuve
LAK 2nd 2021
TO BUF:
D- Brady Skjei
Conditional pick
Conditional Pick Details:
If Buffalo does not make it too the playoffs or past Round 1 of the 2021 playoffs, STL sends STL 5th 2023 to Sabres or
If Buffalo does not make it past Round 2 of the 2021 playoffs, STL sends FLA 6th 2022 to Sabres or
If Buffalo advances to Round 3 or beyond in the 2021 playoffs, the conditional pick requirement is dropped and STL sends no pick to Buffalo.
This is bit of tough decision for us, we are in playoff hunt but just don't feel we have enough to contend with the top teams in the West. Went back and forth with Thomas and finally decided on this. Villeneuve gives us a capable farm D ( as we will probably recall Logan Stanley to the show) that we hope can become a 5th /6th pro D man down road. The key was adding a 2nd rounder for the draft. Thanks Thomas!

Thanks Thomas! Sabres agree. After the other moves today, we felt that having an upgraded D option to Gavrikov for the short term would pay off for our run this season. Heinola will be a mainstay for us no doubt, but we have options now and some protection if we don't go too deep. Really digging how things have turned out for us. Still have a lot of youth on the come up and have a real shot to do something special this season. Great talks Todd!

To be clear, the condition on this trade does NOT mean Buffalo would be entitled to both draft picks described in the Condition.
Buffalo will only receive one (1) of those draft picks should they miss the playoffs or exit in Round 1 (STL 5th 2023), OR exit Round 2 (FLA 6th 2022).
