Mitts is a good player, but there's no way anyone's giving up 2 1rst for him.

Sabres are not going forward with 17 mil cap hit commited to Skinner and Trouba. They will lose all the young talent, they have built.

All the young talent is on an ELC, or will still be an RFA after their ELC's expire. There's no reason BUF cannot take on a contract like Trouba's.

Personally i think Mids would be a great add to this team.Unfortunatly the Canucks management have neither the assets or guts to make this trade.Just my opinion.

The only trade I'd do here is the Trouba trade, but that is going to be hard to pull off as Trouba currently has a NMC and then a modified NTC after this season.

Honestly, D is no longer a problem for this team, in my opinion. Clifton has been playing really good hockey. Heck, all of the defensemen, other than Dahlin are now plusses on the season.

I think Samuelsson, especially considering his contract, is better and more valuable than Borgen.

I don't see how the Mitts trade makes us a better team now, or in the future. I would never trade a top-10 pick for (presumably) 2 late 1sts.

The Olofsson trade...that's fine...doesn't move the needle really either way.

Fix the PP (through coaching) and the team as constructed is a playoff team.
