Description

We are much deeper team and have alot of players to flip for better players or picks.

I think with this team we would of made the playoffs.
Collin White was number center for Ottawa and perform well
JT chompher is the Shut down center the Sabres needed
Zardov gives the sabres a shutdown defender with grit and allows Pilut more time to AHL.
Joel Armia and Jack Roslovic are good Depth players with the Roslovic having alot of potential.

If that didn't make the Ryan O'Reilly trade the team would be much better.

I honestly think the Lehner trade hurts them more. Collin White is a stud.

Not rushing the rebuild should take Skinner off that team as well. Buffalo is a message it's to bad they are gonna waste Eichel prime years , they gotta start the rebuild almost from scratch.

The main problem is not the players, the fact that our GM's can not hire a competent coach and coaching staff for so many years, of course there is a lack of talent, but it can be solved.

yes sir. ROR would've helped their depth scoring significantly. Outside of the Skinner-Eichal-Reinhart line, there wasn't a whole lot of production
