There is something to be said though, for an Armchair-GM like this. We Sabres fans are expecting massive roster surgery this offseason, and trust me I know it NEEDS to be done. There aren't many terrible contracts currently, a lot of players only have one year on their deals left. What the Sabres have is a dead weight problem, with a bunch of useless players taking up valuable depth positions on the roster. All that being said, it's important to see AGMs like this every now and then so Sabres' fans have an idea of what a worst-case scenario might look like. It will not be easy for Botterill to perform surgery on this roster although we all admit it must be done.

Tage Thompson cannot be the 3rd line center. He may be the only Sabre to play worse defense than Ristolainen.

No. Ristolainen is still worse. But it's close...
