Botterill is probably looking a player that has a long term contract such as Zucker, Tuch, etc (3 or 4+ years) in order to give up draft picks or prospects. There is no point of trading for a guy that has 1 or 2 more years on their contract that will only help them make it to the first round of the playoffs and then walk free at the end of their contract. There is no point of trading prospects and picks for a short term player when the sabres arent in the position of making a long playoff run.
