Buffalo Sabres - San Jose Sharks

To Buffalo:
Derek Forbort (80)
Alex Galchenyuk (71)
LA 1st 2018
To San Jose:
Anze Kopitar (84)
I approve. This is more than what I got for trading Getzlaf - who I definitely miss - as Forbort is much better than Petrovic + 2nd. However, Kopitar is younger and better than Getzlaf (and more expensive), so I had to give a good top four D to get. From my perspective, I have two young top-tier offensive defensemen in McCoshen and Jacobs, so I think I can replace Forbort's minutes with a more defensive D. Galchenyuk has been decent this season, but Kopitar's a stud who's worth the money and has plenty of years left in the tank.
