Description

I was just bored and decided to rebuild the Sabres. I'll be honest, I know these trades might be outlandish, but its just for fun. Let me know what you all think, maybe put your opinions and what you'd do instead, lets just discuss it. What I tried to do was acquire younger players, more depth in goaltender, improving the forward and defence, but also increase the amount of younger players. This team is not just to win a cup, but just to create a contending team that can be a competive team for years to come.

I think that's too many parts going back to Buffalo for Eichel.

1) Thats treu, probably could have added more to the trade for New York, but I think the players they get in return could be helpful.

2/3) Yeah, I knew this would be a bit of a hail mary trade, Vegas probably should get way more.
