Description
Well as we get closer to the drafting of Rasmus Dahlin I have been thinking hard and long about why the culture is 'off' with the Sabres. I am hoping that it is not Eichel. I think GMBots will look to really shake up this team after the draft and he will trade away a few players which will surprise the fan base.

The baseline of this team is trading Reinhart, Risto & ROR in exchange for critical pieces that will allow GMBots to develop his type of team.

As is always the case I value any and all feedback whether it is positive or negative.

        You're giving too much to get Faulk and Skinner. Both are good hockey players but ROR is better than Skinner and I would say Risto is better than Faulk.

        I had Hanifin in originally but did not want to be accused of stacking the deck since I am a loyal die hard Sabres fan...... I also wanted to see what the team would look like with Faulk over Hanifin..... could also add a player like Kuokkanen to even the trade out.

        I appreciate your feedback..... what do you think of the team overall..... even with getting jobbed in the Carolina deal.

        I think with all your moves, (The Domi trade may require some tweaks, Arizona won't just give him away) the Sabres would be better but I think they still need some more depth. I don't think their big names are the problem. Its the lack of support players that are fast and talented. Looking at the wings and the bottom 6, the Sabres aren't very strong. That's where they trail other young up and coming teams. Tampa's top 2 lines were better than Buffalo's by a fair margin but if you look at their 3rd and 4th lines, Tampa's are light years ahead of Buffalo. They need some more young fast guys who can start competing for those spots and be hard working bottom 6 guys who have talent as well.

        First off, CGY doesn't even listen on that deal. Hamilton's a #1D, their best Dman, on a sub-6 million dollar deal, who's closest comparable in scoring is Brent Burns. You could maybe get Brodie for that return, but no way in hell are you getting Hamilton without a comparable talent going the other way that leaves enough cap space to acquire a 1RD with. IMO, the Sabres simply don't have that.
        2nd, once you're outside the top 10, there isn't really a difference between a 1st and a 2nd, especially between a late 1st and a high 2nd. So the Sabres don't really get anything on the MIN trade, unless you have someone specific in mind for that MIN pick.
        3rd, CJ Smith was under a point a game with Rochester. Maybe he can make the NHL, but he isn't ready to be a 2LW. You seem to want to be good immediately, why not try to upgrade there?
        4th, Domi should probably be 1LW on this roster (this does not remove the hole at 2LW, Bennet's really iffy there as well). He's a solid playmaker with some ability to score (9 goals on 6% shooting will usually turn into about 15 when sh% regresses). Eichel and Skinner IMO want a passing LW, since both of them are goal scorers.
        5th, I'm really hesitant to anoint Ullmark starter. That said, if you want to, you probably could get Nelson + a little for Lehner.
        6th, you need to upgrade at 1LD. It probably wouldn't be hard to turn Faulk into Klefbom + something (such as dumping Scandella's deal) with EDM. The hole at 2RD can be patched pretty easily by Franson/Pateryn.
        7th, Hamilton>Faulk. Better in almost every way.
        Overall, this would be a great offseason for the Sabres, but Treliving's not taking that deal and Scandella simply isn't acceptable as 1LD. The wings also haven't really been fixed and there are some huge maybes in the Forward corps.
