Quoting: Billy739
See Kane for Dany Oregan and a 1st
in the end all you have left is Montour who you used the 1st to acquire as Oregans
See Pysyk ,2nd and a 3rd for Kulikov and a 2nd
See Kane acquisition giving up Lemieux ,Armia,Stafford,Meyers,and Roslovic.
See Mcnabb and two 2nd rounders for Fasching and Deslauriers
you get in depth and pick then give them away instead of developing them .
before long Eichel will be like Vanek , approaching 30 and realizing he wasted a decade on
a team who's not built around a youth core since the 1990's .
you make the same mistakes every time
you get a big name drawing in crowds and that's all you care about .
TML did the same thing for Decade's until new Foundation from top position to bottom was
put in place to fix what they admitted were faults .
a few year later TML is the most dominating looking team i've seen in 30 +years from them
BUF needs to learn from TML overhaul and replace everyone from President on down
Kane traded for his value, Pysyk traded for his value and also has not become the player Florida thought he would have. Aquiring Kane, Stafford who had 1 good season every 3 years, myers who is a decent #2rd Armia, who looked like complete garbage in Rochester, and didnt have a decent season till 4 years later, Lemieux a 4th liner, and a first that Winnipeg to Roslavic with. Also the Majority of these were under a GM that got fired because he made these trades. Sabres dont build around youth? Cozens, Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Olofsson, Mittelstadt, Ristolainen, Pilut, Ullmark, UPK, Nylander all home grown talent, Thompson was traded for and all the unsigned D they got, Johnson, Samuelsson, Laaksonen, and Davidsson. Didnt know they all are big names that the Sabres traded for.
