tougher

But why?

Because Patric Hornqvist is too old and too expensive!

Greenway isn't signing that, if he was, Minnesota would keep him. Yes greenway most likely will be traded during the offseason. but a contender, championship team like Tampa would give a late 1st for him, or add a prospect to the 2nd round pick.

Hornqvist? Buffalo shouldn't be wasting so many assets on Dubois, our young centers continue to development and improve. This deal looks like Murray and it's not good.

Dubois at 1C makes the whole team tougher - the picks could very well turn into very good players but are probably 2-4 years away from the NHL- Olofsson and Mittelstadt have talent but also not the toughest or best defenders Quinn and Peterka replace Olofssons points easily and Rosen isn't that far away - Bjork also has some skills but when will the light come on for the guy, you see flashes but the consistency is lacking maybe a change of scenery helps him. Dubois isn't the greatest but he's a young legit 1C which allows Thompson to be a very good 2C - Buffalo retains their own 2022 1st for maybe Slafkovsky or Lambert. The team I have up while not a cup contender should be in the playoff hunt something Sabres fans and ownership needs sooner rather than later.
