Sabres already have their top 6 and then some.

If the Sabres' bottom six and defensemen step up their game this season, then enjoy the wins and postseason.

Na
Smith would’ve got PERFECTLY at RW2
And that would’ve given our 3rd line the talent to dominate Quinn moved down

Again, this is assuming Olofsson is traded

If you’re really gonna try to say that we couldn’t have used a forward who can score some goals, AND play well defensively…..
well then, i don’t think u have a good handle on what our team is missing up front

Yes it would have been nice and Buffalo certainly has the cap space.
On the other hand, Smith may not have been offered to the Sabres.

With Quinn out for a while,
Smith would’ve made even more sense

It’s a move we absolutely should’ve done imo
