I would like to announce the following trade:
CHI Receives:
Julius Honka 12 Round Expansion (CHI)
BUF Receives:
Mikko Rantanen 16th Round Expansion (CHI)
After seeing a ton of names go recently that I was originally eyeing to help my team in the "now", I decided that trading one of my coveted top-offensive prospects in order to gain a new pick was in best interest of my squad. Without a doubt Rantanen has some of the most offensive upside out of the prospects from this years rookie draft which is why I was very hesitant to move him. However I've been ignoring the "now" aspect of my squad which is why I was willing to move him for this price. I had a larger asking price due to the fact I took him in the eighth round and had planned on making him a corner stone of my teams future. With that said, Julius Honka is a solid prospect who rounds out my defensive line up and the pick in return now gives me two selections in the 12th round that I believe will help me draft two specific players that will help my team succeed.
I would like to thank the class-act organization that is the Buffalo Sabres for their professionalism during negotiations.
Buffalo to confirm.

Confirmed
Honka just had a great season in the AHL for his age (and in general), so I'm very confident he will become an impact fantasy player in the coming years. That being said, my RW core is pretty bare ATM aside from B. Ryan. Naturally I've been looking at getting a top RW prospect and when the idea was brought to light of a possible trade involving Rantanen it just made sense for me. That, and I always like grabbing COL players for some reason. Plus I was actually planning on grabbing Rantanen in the 9th before CHI grabbed him. So all that to be said I think it's a good trade for both parties; CHI gets a great D prospect on top of a 12th rounder, while I get a solid winger position that I desperately need.

Both teams get what they are looking for. Two top prospects are being exchanged. Buffalo gets the better prospect (in my opinion), and thus has to move down a little in the draft. Honka is still a great prospect, so Chicago does well in this trade.

A team getting a better prospect in my opinion, moves down a few rounds as Trent said.

I'm a big fan of Honka in fantasy, so I like Chicago's side a bit better, but a good deal where both guys get what they want.
