Description
... but he didn't ask for a trade nor will he, IMO. This team has some really good pieces and will contend for a long time if developed properly, but I don't think there's a massive trade / signing in the team's near future. Steady as she goes... the losing is almost over.

The draft was done using Corey Pronman's list here: https://theathletic.com/1769140/2020/05/27/pronmans-2020-nhl-draft-board-top-122-prospects/

7. Rossi
33. Guhle
38. Neighbours
74. Robins

Personally I think this is the year Buffalo gets a break via the lottery, but I'm going to leave the pick at 7OA. In any case, if they can land Rossi at 7 I don't think they'll be disappointed as I think he's a top-5 talent and more NHL-ready than some of the guys listed ahead of him.

The Ristolainen trade was copied from an AGM by littlejerryseinfeld.

The other trades are using cap space to get some B prospects for taking useful but overpaid veterans with 1 year left on their deals. One thing the Sabres lack IMO is a good veteran presence in the locker room. Not sure how the trades would work out exactly but this is the general framework.

I don't follow the Sabres closely so if I've screwed up the lines / pairings or missed an obvious RFA signing, let me know.

Rossi won’t be in the NHL next year and there’s no chance the Blues do that.

laugh laugh Then Eichel shouldn't have committed 8 years to Buffalo if he's sick of losing. Did he ever think that team was going anywhere anyways.
